candidate of the Democracy To succeed
himself Authorized last night this state
mcnt.
My attention has been called to pub
llcatIon i'm the newspapers Of Friday

useless 20 put up fight, and that Mr..
NIurphv stated that | did not stand a
Cbinaman's chance. and that he would
NOT give Il cents. and that | should get
bcbind Harry Kopp. the Republican can

over his signature. as Judge Mccall sug-
gested in his reply 10 the original Hem
messy charges, and intrusted II 10 the care
of a reporter to deliver to Mr. Mccall in
person.
The attempt was frustrated by FIRE
Commissioner Johnson. the Mccall cam
paign manager. who said plainly and
without any Southern accent that he
would not permit a letter" from such a
man as Hennessy "to be poked under the
nose of a former justice of the Supreme
Court" johnson ordered Mr.. kenney. the
Mccall doorman, TO stand by the
judges chambers and see to it that the
man with the Objectionable HennesSy
document was not admitted. Johnson ap-
parently believed-or seemed TO think
that the man with the Hennessy letter
who said that he had received ii from MT
Hennessy i'm good faith and offered To de-
liver it without prejudice, had under
taken an act Of discourtesy toward the
Tammany candidate.

preferred against Tammany officials by
John A. Hennessy was made in speech
delivered by Bainbridgc Colby, OF New

1T would appear that We are on the

leled only by the exposure OF the Tweed

Colby.

feat his investigation and to battle his

Governor Glynn Is not juryman. who

doubt before it is necessary for him 70

ously, arises not when these charges are
proved, but when they are stated re-
sponsibly and In earnest.

One Oldtime Politician, Other Dema'
gogue, Says Hapgood.

Norman Hapgood, editor OF Harper
Weekly" addressed gathering OF about
two hundred last night at dinner OF the
Brooklyn Club at the Hotel Bossert.
After a preamble on the American people
and their ideals he made Edward r. Nc
Call and William Sulzer his theme. Nc
Call he characterized as the type OF
politician we had under a bygone political
system" who had never stood for the
people against the putocratic manage
ment of professional politicians.
Sulzer. according to Mr.. Hapgood. repre-
sents a peculiar type of demagogue who
is influenced not by conscientious motives
but goes about making Daniel Webster
and Henry Clay speeches, always pander-
ing to the prejudices of his hearers In
the actions OF Mccall he said, are found
the perfection of the political system that
we struggled against years ago. a sys-
tenn that never would have existed II

JACOB RIlS CHALLENGES
HUMANITY OF M'CALL
Rockaway Park, He Says, Was
Purchased to Save Lives of
5000 Crippled Children.

Jacob A. Riis, the social worker. chal-
lenges the humanity Of Judge Mccall.
the Tammany candidate for Mayor, in
criticising the purchase OF Rockaway
Park and declaring, in the name OF
economy that he was against all such
expenditures OF public money. A letter
from Mr.. Riis. at Pinebrook Farm, Barre
Mass. to Judge Mccall was made public
yesterday.
Mr.. Riis SAYS he has seen Judge Mccall
quoted as threatening TO do something
TO Rockaway Park if elected why
should YOU wish TO do the people OF New
York this injury" he asks. Mr. Ri!s
adds;
'Do YOU know that there are five thou
sand poor little cripples in our city who
are racked by the intolerable pains Of
bone tuberculosis. which nothing-neither
medicines nor surgery-avails TO soothe
or cure save only life upon the sea-
shore, under hospital care, summer and
winter, for many months. and sometimes
for years? 1t was for these that Rock
away Park was purchased. II has other
uses. all urgent. but I am concerned here
with the children only whom this form Of
tuberculosis atflicts."
I Mr.. Riis calls attention to the gift OF
$4,000 made TO the Association for Inn
proving the Condition OF the Poor Some
time ago 10 build a hospital on condition
that the city should furnish a seaside
site and operate the home. He asks why
Judge Mccall should consider the revoca-
ton of the purchase now that the land is
assured. and continues:
what have the poor children OF New
York done that you should even think OF
il? If they were to come TO your political
headquarters i'm pitiful. halting file upon
their crutches with their pain-haunted
eyes asking why. what would you have
to say 10 them, and to their fathers and
mothers and friends? What have they
done. those fathers and mothers, 10 de-
serve it?"

Perhaps no period in the whole history

acterlzed by the beginning Of such gigan-
tic undertakings as have been begun in
the last four years, and no one VIII say
that fusion has not made good. AS ciu-
zens OF New York you and ] are interest
ed to see that these gigantic things are
carried forward 10 completion by the men
who inaugurated them.
You members Of the Republican or
eanization have fought the battle'of good
government over and over again. We
have supported the doctrine Of non-par-
nsanship in municipal affairs and have
demonstrated that party can rise above
itself TO higher heights Of non-partisan-
ship"

Marcus NJ Marks had n whrlwind tour
all his own last night. He visited sixteen
meetings and told sixteen Of the evils OF
Tammany Hall and Of his fitness to be
elected Borough President of Manhattan
on the fusion ticket. His reception every
where encouraged him to further elo-
ouence. in spite of the fact that at some
meetings he was forced TO curtail his
speech that Mr. Mitchell might talk.
Morks's automobile stopped first at the
Manhattan Casino, l55th street and Eighth
avenue, where he was greeted by fully
500 persons. lie said
This campaign is showing up the
crookedness and rottenness Of the whole
nasty. boss-ridden 18th street nest The
claims and promises OF Tammany are

voters left in New York City, outside OF

/ I'm a large room. they were most enthusi-
astically cheered by about fifty men,
seated about tables. which bore white
covers and many glasses of water. Here
! Mr.. Marks spoke as if in a family circle.
"Tammany has had both feet out of the
trough for four years" Mr. Marks told
them The tiger is famished. What did
thev do I'm the last four years Of the Nc
! Clellan administration? What did they
do TO the Borough of Manhattan? They
did so much rotten and crooked admin
lstering that Governor Hughes threw
Johnny Ahearn out by the scruff of his
neck for malfeasance in Office
Al Cooper Union and at the meetings
! that followed Mr. Marks stuck close to
his tvpewritten speech The big audience
! In Cooper Union cheered him enthusiastic
cally, though it was impatient to hear

having been delayed. Mr.. Marks said:
81 come to you a new man in the pollti-
! cal field. | am a business man and
look at these things from business
point OF view. My training has been for

ness lines, and | talk business face TO

Albany oct. 27.-Attorney General Car
,,,odv said tonight that the statement or
ex.Governor Sulzer that he had declined
TO prosecute charges of alleged graft
growing out Of the construction of the
Great Meadows prison AT Somstoch'

He said he frequently told both Sulzer
and John A. Hennessy that his office was
always ready to take up charges against
ANYBODY. but that he would not permit
il Ia be used for any illegitimate purpose,
such as the making of political capital.
The charges of Governor Sulzer. he
