rrror 4 STAFF Correspondent o. The Tribune J
Albany. June 1S.-Patrick T. Nc
rabs who exposed Governor Suffers
clandestine meetings with Boss" Mur-
nbv Of Tsmmany Hall. and who was IN
turn assailed by Sulzer at the fual
meeting of the direct primary cam
naien in Harmanus Bleecker Theatre
here last night. returned to-day TO the
attack on Sulzer in a second state
ment. which for savage onslaught and
usalth OF innuendo would be hard to
beat.
The Albany Democratic boss chal-
lenees the Governor:
To read his own answer to the Nc
Cabe patronage letter.
To explain the circumstances Of an
accusation Of perjury in the State Of
Vermont.
To say whether he can state, as Nc
Cabe does. that he does not owe a cent
10 any man in either Albany or New
York City.
To answer whether the charges made
by McCabe in his first statement-that
suzer secretly visited Murphy at
night or in the early morning hours IN
March and April this year-are true.
To reveal anything he knows Of the
private or public life Of either McCa oe
or Murphy which has been dishonest.
Prison lnnuendo.
In addition to these direct challenges
McCabe puts up TO Governor Sulzer in
an insinuatingly sinister fashion this
paragraph:
Governor Sulzer seems to be wor-
ried a great deal over the fact that
Boss Tweed died in prison. I would
not, if I were he. be distressed about
that matter, because he has just as
good chance as any Of us. | wonder
II they ever have heard anything Of
Boss Tweed up in Alaska or down
in Cuba, or il the departed boss ever
heard anything Of the 'Huckleberry
Railroad or the 'hydro-power bin 1
know from what I have read that
Boss Tweed took deep interest in
Washington politics, and Boss Sulzer
has also"
McCabe makes no secret Of the fac:
that he has the information in hand
TO meet denial Of either his direct ac-
cusations or his insinuations against
the Governor, and altogether he seems
to be very much in the position Of Il
man who is hoping the other fellow
will knock the chip off his shoulder.
He is trying 10 brush aside the
counter attack on his letter pleading
for jobs for Democrats from the in
coming Governor, which Sulzer read at
the meeting last night, as an epistle Of
Of which he is not ashamed. and OF
which, as a dyed-in-the-woo partisan,
he is, in fact rather proud.
Furthermore. McCabe intimates now
that he has really only begun to get
started on the Job Of telling what he
knows about the Governor. and he
seems 10 be looking forward with
pleasure 10 the work ahead Of him.
Covert Perjury Reference.
The most singing paragraph Of his
statement McCabe decided TO leave in
sort Of indirect form. which carries
with It, by innuendo. what is probably
amore bitter style Of attack than could
nave been made by a direct accusa-
uon. In 1t he says:
The Governor called me a little
Boss" Tweed in his remarks. but
assure the Governor that never was
accused Of perjury in the State Of Yer
mont"
He was urged by his own friends, TO
Nnom he showed the statement before
making II public. either to make this
