Albany, n. Y, Oct. 4. : Governt
William Sulzer outlined the vitriol
arraignment that he expects to NAL
in his own defense before the COURT
impeachment next week.
He held up Tammany Hall as an il
stitution of loot and looters, whom j
charges with trying to cruelty hun u
cause he sought to stop the wholeSa]
campaign of theft that he found
full blast.
No such remarkable statement hS
ever come from the lips of an Amef
can in high office. Sober, solemn an
earnest, Sulzer sat in his study all
talked with an utter absence of thz
oratorieal effect that usually char
terizes his utterances.
Before him sat Rev. George Cha
mers Richmond, d. D., rector of S
Johns Protestant Episcopal churc]
Philadelphia, who had come to ask ~
governor for a message to the peoplA
"The people want a message fro
you," began the clergyman.
The governor replied:
"The votes of the people of IL

When the court reconvenes on Nor
