MIR stLZER TELLS HIS SIDE.

William Sulzer, impeached and removed from gOYernorshlp ot the great state of New York, makes a statement that bears the earmarks of being at least generally true' lie tells how. on entering the govern Or's office Mr. Murphy, Tammany $ leader. used every effort to take ad- vantage of his financial straits to Dlace him under obligations; how he resisted and undertook to main tain his honor and manhood; how Murphy later insisted that the gov ernor appoint to places of trust only such men as Tammany approved, and how. when he refused he was told that he was an ingrate, and that he would be disgraced and de- stroyed.
 The story, which is written by James Creelman and copyrighted by fhe Mail and Express Company of New York, is a sordid tale of the workings of an organization that gives no heed to honor in it's fight for power and graft and a man who was weak enough to stumble into a pit of iniquity, but resisted before he was completely i'm mersed in is flth-who could not be satisfied with the situation in which he found himself.
 Sulzer is confessedly guilty of acts which he should have avoided, but the fact remains that had he been weak enough to do the bid ding of Tammany without kicking he not only would yet have been governor. but he would have escaped all this disgrace and, in a few years. been a rich man.
 For such weakness as led him into the tigers trap, the deposed govern or has been terribly punished. It is not quite so clear what his re- ward may be for refusing to play the game" to the end as dictated by Mir. Murphy.
 Those who read The Price of Place" by Samuel c. Blythe in re- cent issues of The Saturday Even ing Post will find some interesting comparisons in the history of it's leading character and that of Will liam Sulzer.
