Mack. chairman of the National Commit

Mayor Gaynor created a good deal OF
laughter and applause by his attack upon
Mr.. Hearst and his description of how the
editor had used the wealth and power de-
rived from his newspapers 10 influence po-
litical issues and discredit his opponents.

that he would make only brief remarks,
Mayor Gaynor spoke for more than an
hour. Much of his speech was devoted TO
defence of, the new charter and dis
fuSSlOH VI lu' Jubl'ihiS ~
counties Of Kings and Queens He said
that this scandal was an attempt to. fool
! the people and that the papers were try
ing TO create the impression that Tammany
had everything to do with the judiciary
nominations on Long Island.
II am not here to defend Tammany.' he
said. 1t can do that for itself. But ]
don't like this humbugging, this saying
that Tammany had anything to do with
the nominations over there"
After explaining that his appointment
of tventy-six heads Of departments and
! bureaus had been made without subordl-
mating the interests OF the city TO any
outside influences. Mayor Gaynor said that
he intended TO go right on to the end OF
his term 10 serve the city and no one else.
HE added that the principal support he
had received had been from good, straight
forward Republicans and Democrats, while
others who loudly professed their desire
for good government seemed bent on
thwarting those trying to give IT.
"Of my distinguished associates in Of
flee who were elected on another ticket I
do not wish to say an unkind or hard
word" the Mayor continued. MY con-
trolling desire is to work with them In
harmony for the good OF the city. You
know how much | hate the mixing up OF
petty political pickering with the discharge
Of official duty. Our duty is TO all the
rentpayers and taxpayers alike, without
regard to their party connections
In turning his attention TO the Demo-
cratic county ticket Mayor Gaynor said:
II am glad TO commend the ticket NOM
mated in this county. All agree that the
nominees are men of the highest charac-
ter and fitness. What more does any one
want? No hue and cry should hurt any
man on Election Day. II is unmany."
The manner in which Republicans and
others agreed on the fusion candidates for
the judiciary was described by Mayor
Gaynor as an act Of bossism The men
nominated. he said. had generally very
high sounding names. and they could not
sign their names like the rest of us, in
a simple way.
