have been made out by Goslin to Hylar
Mr.. Jerome said:
Mr.. Hylan goes out and says Jerome
was a bad man. He betrayed the peo-
pie. Well. am not running for Mayor
and wicked man as | am, as ! know
myself to be. ! do not see why my
being wicked should qualify Honest John
Hylan TO be Mayor OF the City Of New
York. And. you know, ! hate this hon.
est stuff. Because ] always think OF
my old acquaintance, Honest Johr
Kelly, the notorious gambler in the
City of New York. / raided his place
and found a false front SO card faro
box in it. Now. John Kelly was not
originally Honest John. He was a. poor
boy originally.
"And after while you heard all
about Honest John Kelly, and lot of
the Western comeons and others were
attracted because he was Honest John
Kelly. with the false front fifty-three
card faro box. But one day fellow
came along and punctured the thing. He
said, There is nothing honest about him
but his name and that punctured Mr..
Kelly.
Nov, I do not think this man is so
honest as he would haze us believe. l
do not mean to charge that he has got
graft. But he does not think honest
and he was not honest with the electors
OF this city when he got our votes by
denying his knowledge of Goslin, when
there is evidence in his own handwriting
against him: and will he answer except
ty saying that i am to get $4,000 some-
where. without telling me where to col
lect l suppose nay money would be (.
o. b. along the ringside. but I cannot
find the fellow who has got the mazuma.
Not Fitted for Mayor.
"But DO not think that quite fits
Hylan for Mayor of the City of New
York, because ] am promised $4,000 a
night. VIII lie answer? No, he will
not answer. because in days gone by
in Tammany Hall they used TO have
what were called fool killers. to go out
and stop these performances. People
believed that a man should not squeal,
because that was a sure sign that he
was hurt. They had one great and
witty sage, and that was William Dew
cry, and he gave them the soundest
piece of advice when he said to the
young cop that got into trouble. He
said, Young man, when you are caught
with the goods on you, you don't want
to say nothin'.' And that is what
think will be Mr.. Hylan's answer to
these specific charges
Good God, can you stand man
being charged with having a foul and
disreputable record coming out and
denying 1t and then not taking advan-
tage Of an opportunity to prove it in
court by sworn testimony If 1t wasn't
true? He quit. He quit And then
having the effrontery to come before you
people as Honest john foul and
disreputable record. Mr.. Hylan's own
characterization of what the World
charged him with.
"The second adventure Of his busi-
ness career is something that you peo-
pie in Brooklyn also know all about
that malodorous Eagle Loan and saw
ings Bank in which he was for many
years a director and which Judge Greene
baum said was rotten and fraudulent
from the word go. The head of the
loan department Of that institution COM
mitted suicide and no one was bonded
In the bank, and things of that sort.
Some 5000 of you people lost money in
that adventure, so you may know some-
thing about it and we will come to that
another time.
'I would like to tell you some short
stories. by the way, just to give you q
view of the goings on, choice morsels
of what we have had handed to us
during the last four years in the city
of New York. and we have sat down
supinely and stood for 1t all.
MY first little story, No. !. concerns
the police. There was a fellow by the
name OF Tighe on the police force. He
was found one night dead drunk three
blocks off his post.
"He was found guilty and his sentence
was a reprlmand. He has since gone to
States Prison for not less than two
years and not more than four years. sent
there by Tammany Hall Judge. and II
stands forever to the credit OF Judge
Grain of General Sessions that he had
the courage to send that fellow where he
belongs.
'l want to contrast that little story
with the story of Sergeant Ezekial Kel-
Ter. Well the day of the Liberty Day
parade Ezekial Keller was stationed at
Forty-sccond street and Fifth avenue.
and his orders were to keep that line
right up to the curb. And one Harriss,
