The Sullivan Club. which is all that
!, left Of the famous and grandiose
T;rothy D. big Tim) Sullivan Asso-
..son. has renounced Tammany and
-, ioined the City Democracy "to
,n,Vs the democracy of the city Of
uurnbyism." To such depths have
,r,E the inheritors of glorious tradi-
ton
Tbsy met last night-Alderman Paddy
Spliysn and Larry Mulligan, half
h,otbers of the Big Fellow; Assembly
nan Abner Greenberg, from the 10th;
,,.Assenblyman John J. Sammon, from
-. tltb; A. Mitchell Leslie, Dick We'll
son and many another blown-in-the-
,,., brave a.! that is left Of the Sulli-
vp elau)-to pass a set of resolutions
,rOelsiming their spostasy in pictur-
,.ous and no uncertain terms.
Arlington Hall, at 1s East Eighth
Street, is ringing yet with the Whoops
which accompanied its adoption. And
vh,t thew said of their whilom chief,
dhst "gilded den of political iniquity,
D.lnonico's," and of the unfortunates

SWhereases" Tell the Tale
As for Mayor Mitchell, he's "the
,.,s.s with the outfit from this time
a, hfriending the poor and the lOwly,
vi. Murphy, that little brother OF
q. s,h. deceives them, allowing MS
te 70 sink into Delmonico carpets
,..tinV pelmonico cigars and picking
Ehb Avenue sheriffs. But the where
,,so tell the tale, as follows;
Whereas, This organization is com
,,,sd q, lifelong TammAny Democrats
with a record Of faithful Tammany
performances dating over more thSh
generation; and :,
sVbsreas. Tammany Hall to-day is
un by Charles F. Murphy and his IN
,iderS in the interests only OF thls
selfish group ard the corporations they
lsyor. instead Of the loyal Tammany
workers; and
aWbereas, This little eoterie cf
,r.sdy men, being utterly out OF touch
xith the progressive principles OF de-

wilson, 80 dominates the Democratic
party in New York City as 20 openly
order the knife for President Wilson
ar; decent Democrats who ran for
Cite; and
Murphy and Delmonico's
Whereas, Mr.. Murphy and his Sc
lst, cabinet now attempt TO create the
hs,eo issue OF the rich against the
isof. and this, despite the fact that
Nr Murphy srends his time on his
t,t country estate at Good Ground
yin gilde6 private dining rooms az
ltncnicO's, where your shoe SINKS
- inches into velvet carpets, and
tF1s don't come tao for FIVE; and
Whereas, All that Murphy and his
fis are seheming 70 do is to draw
~ poor mans vote and then 20 cast
~ aside In order 10 get their fingers
no the eity's pie for one final swag
~ the chosen few who drive and dine
At Dels'; and
Whereas, In spite Of the wicked
oais-hstred issues OF rich against poor
t'ssd by the obscure tool picked by
saThy and McCooey 20 handle the
slsir OF the wealthiest city in the
.'ns, Murphy went right over 70 Fifth
henue 10 get his candidate for Sheriff
n - nh
IVES al No. 43 Fifth Avenue, and there
y threw aside the earnest Tammany
'iasrs whose rewards in the past have
ssh selections for Offices like shriev-
t,y; and
Pay Respects to Craig
Whereas, In fulhllment Of the Muir
lsl policy Of only picking men whom
!, owns body and soul, he and his
rosp OF nominstors chose q fellow
ansd Charles L. Craig, who has an
