LONDON, Sept. 27.-On receiving
the New York papers containing
eulogies by prominent men on the
late Mayor Gaynor. Richard Croker,
the former Tammany boss, became
very angry and was moved to make
a statement which was violent at
tack on the late mayor. combined with
defense of Charles F. Murphy. and
Tammany. and OF his nephew, Ed

Mr.. Croker says he knows that
many people will take offense at his
statement. but he IL never afraid to
express his sentiments when he be-
lieves he is right. The statement is
as follows:

which the resignation of my nephew,

That cannot be said of the late
mayor. as his scandals never reached
that far.

about Charles F. Murphy. In which
he said what q straightforward man
