MI. Stimson also laid much stress to

World" and The New York Herald,
and other papers which he said were
under the influence Of wall Street He
told his audience how The Herald" and
James Gordon Bennett. its proprietor.
knew he Was no dummy.
They know I'm no Roosevelt candi-
date or any other mans candidate" Mr..
Stimson said. They know I'm not
enough Of anybody's man to he pulled
off from q prosecution when once ] IN
70 dertake il" He spoke in similar vein
Of The World which he said had
reason to know that he was no dummy,
because he had prosecuted that paper.
The candidate made whiri BY train
and automobile to-day. which included
three counties. Wyoming, Livingston and
Steuben. he spoke Al six meetings,
ranging from handful Of villagers cius-
tered al railroad station at Dalton. in
Livingston County 10 a meeting OF
couple OF thousand here. His day was
lively one; the meetings were enthusi-
astic and the speeches crisp and snappy.
Mr.. Stimson was in fine trim after his
day Of rest and the way in which he
went after the scalp of John A. Dix, his
opponent. and Tammany Hall brought
hearty applause from everybody who
heard him.
Doubts Dis's Sincerity.
Mr.. Stimson openly declared that John
A Dix couldn't be very sincere in his
protestations Of desire 10 clean out
graft in Albany. II he were. he said,
~ wouldn't stand for the denomination
Of Tom" Grady and Jim Frawley and
Big Tim" sullivan. Instead he'd follow
the example of Grover Cleveland. who
demanded that John Kelly. then boss OF
Tanimany. keep Grady At home for de-
cency's sake.
Until I hear thai Mr. Dix is taking
some such stand as that said Mr.. Slim
son. Il confess l shall have some doubt
about the sincerity of his declarations
against graft"
1t doesn't do To- say that Mr.. Dix is
a respectable man" said Mr.. S;imson
again, in describing Tammany's alleged
trial of corruption in the State Engin-
GERS office under Skene two years ago.
Grant that; hut the state is not gov
erned by its Governor alone Then he
paid his respects 10 the Tammany ticket,
PARTICULARLY To Bensel, candidate for
State Engineer. and 10 Sohmer Candi-
date for Controller. who was one of the
Tammany Hall racetrack Senators. He
said the state if they were elected could
know what To expect from Tammany
because history was in the habit of re
peating itself. and what Tammany had
done once in state department il was
likely To do again.
That's a fine bunch TO clean house
with" Mr. Stimson said. Of Grady and
Frawley and Bib Tim Sullivan. You
have seen the names of all Of these gen.
tlenen mentioned in connection with
the legislative investigation now being
conducted in New York That looks well
IN the light of the proposed reform.
Sea rit in mind in connection with what
! told YOU about Tammany influences.
Mr.. Stimson also assailed the Demo-
Gratis on their charges Of Republican
.eNtravagance."
That's mere campaign wind" he said
natly t. the great delight of his hearers.
They haven't produced one specifica-
lion. They can't make good"
