Two of a Kind

Tammany is universally condemn
ed. Yet IN theory, In method aud IN
actual practice. Tsmmany but carries
out the same principles applied by
the republican leaders OF the nation
since the days Of Mark Hanna
Iamamny demanded absolute and
unqualified feaity to Tammany; the
republican leaders punished with
condign punishment any disposition
to wander away from the dlctations

poeted by any who dared question
the righteousness of such action.
Tammsny held up the dive keep
ers, the gamblers saloon keepers aud
the landlords OF low resorts but lam
many promised protection In return
end the promise was always kept.
The republican party held up the
manufacturer. the great trust com
bine aud special interests of every
character but the republican party
promised In return protection and
the promise was always kept.
Tammany promised It's faithful
workers official reward and promo
tion at contracts through which the
public was robbed and the treasury
pIundered, but the promises we're
faithfully aud religlously kent so
long as the required service In return
was forthcoming.
The republican party promised Its
faithful workers official reward, pro-
motions and fat contracts, and the
public suffered, for the republican
party always kept faith with its
workers aud 1t always rewarded just

Tammany took everything from the

gave back enough to keep the public
satisfied and its followers. while they
sometimes grumbled, never revoIted,
because they feared they might lose
even that which was given to them.
The republican party's theory wal

robbed Indirectly and without know

robbery was committed, and so long
