Quotation From Sermon.

Here is the quotation from Mr.. Nc.
Connell's sermon to which the mayor
took exceptions: "If Mr. Woodward
does not know that such expressions
(abuse of the police from a man in
his high position are dangerous and
have a tendency to encourage the vi
cious, he is too big fool to be at the
head of this city, while if he really

The scrapfest began when McConne

a democrat q nomination from the
progressive party for the legislature
can hardly be traced TO a patriotic
motive. His intention will be rather
construed as an attempt To get even
with the leaders of the democratic
party in New York Who caused him
to be removed from the governorship
on charges which reflected severely
on his integrity as a man and his
character as a politician.
The one time governor frankly says
so. He promises 10 make il warm for
his enemies, not only those in the as
sembly but those outside Of it and
incidentally 10 regain the executive
chair. The purpose Of the progress
sives Of the sixth district in rendering
him the nomination was TO take adj
vantage OF circumstances which might
give them the support of anu-Tam-
many democrats and of those who
sympathize with the fallen statesman
In the more or less chaotic state of
New York politics in New York the
anomaly of a democrat, recently a
successful candidate for governor on
the Tammany ticket being the nom
inee OF the progressives Of his district
for the assembly may not seem Sc
riously incongruous. but the prospect
of success by this means of securing
cindication may be regarded as
doubtful
