The oiganisation itseit is practically a unit ia asking me to remain, so tbat 1 need feel «o consideration for either my enemies or my opponenta Indeed, one of my greatest reasons for getting out is the fact that pdlitiea is eonUnualiy foretng a man into qnarreia with bis frienda.

All of these were hard stfugvles for Tammany Hall and for me. * There waa the same cry then that there is now—that Tammany Hall waa this and waa that, and was miythtng that conld be looked upon as bed or criminal. They raised the eternal cry of corruption and fraud. They formed organiaations m churches and in dubs, end they endeavored in every way to start the whole people on a crusade against the organization. Every meaiber of the executive committee of Tammany Hall was paraded as a Uqnor dealer or a biacfcleg, and everything was done to put him in an nnseemly hghA Etcij effort waa made to hurt the Tam many leaders personally. aad through them these cowanQy opponents struck at their familisA** A 8TEONO ORGAAKATION.^^g^ "Ho you think tbat the organucatien was as strong then ea it is to-day*” “By no mmins: the organization is stronger now and the leaders are in stronger positions than they have ever been before.

In fact, throughout the city, couatlug all the smaller men, there are no less than thirty thousand workers, all of them active agents for Tammany UalL" "What advice did yon have to give to the district leaders when you announced your reurement tois atternoon, Mr. Croker?" *T told them that aa long as they kept designing men out of the organization, men who would bring in eormpt methodA all would be righA" “Wbat do you think are the peoepeots of the coming fall?” “1 thbiK that Tammany Hall ought to win ai the eoming election beyond the ebedow of a doubA We have given the city a straightforward govemment in ail its deportments, and I Uiink that the people will stand by tiie Hemoeratie organization " "Ho you think the reoent legielation srill have any bad eflect?" “I do sot see how it can hurt Tammany Hali in aay way.

These men were convicted before judges who were put into office by .Tammany Hiul, and were prosecuted by a district mtoroey whom Tammany Hau nominated and elected. They were eonvicted without the slightest intenerenoe in toeir behalf by the organisation. The district leaders had toe seleetiDg of their own inspectorA The general organisation had nothing to do with itr Itffise men saw ht to do wroim, and now toat they are made to snfier. the whole organization, at well as myself, is sorry for them " TAMMAXT AND CABTEXAND. "Now that yon are retiring, Mr. Croker, do you feel in a poeition to my anything abont the presidential campaign of 1893?" “Well, I can ny this- The representatives of Temmany went to toe Chicago convention determined to oppose toe nomination of Cleveland in every way and to try every honorable means of beating him in the eoevention. The record shows that we did all toat was in onr power to beat him We tried to show to the convention that he couldn't be elected if he was nominated. We failed in convmeing the other delegates, however, and, os yon know, Mr. Clevriond was nominated." "Bnt after be was nominated, of eonrM yon did all tbat yon eonid toaid in his election, didn't yon*" “Indeed we-dtd. After the nominatioa waa made we did noi wait a aingie minnte to show that onr opposition to him had ceased. As soon as possible after the close of toe convention we started home, determined to indome him ami to support him in every way. W hile on the tram for home we telegraphed ahead for the annonocement of meetings to be made, and we ordered that the.banner be put np, showing that we indorsed toe party’s candidate.” “What are toe present relations between Presideat Cievelsmdand Tunmany Hall?" "They are friendly in every wey, I can assure yon. We have done sad are doing all that we can to sustain him. Ever since he took (he presidential chair he hes bad the support of Tamoieny Hell. As far as the matter of patronage ia coneemed, we hare left it to fata judgment to give ps just what he thought waa right and notiiing more.” ~ THE IHUOXE TAX. "What has been your position upon the tariff and the income-tax, Mr. Croker?" "Neither I nor onT of the other leaden of Tammany Hall saw any occasion for taking any action or offering any adviee upon these subjeelA For my part, I see no nei^itr fur an income tax. Althongfa I was in WasMsgton and saw Mr. CelveInad 1 did aot ap^ to bia npoa torn tuh-

je<(t> Eor did I evex bear him epeak of it I think, though, toat the income tax really ought to be dropped immediately. The ta^ bill pitoouf the income tax rider would raise enough money for the purposes of the Oovernmeot, 1 think, and if it did not, and moce money were needed, they conld tax something else higher, rather than impose tfaie qiioos tax. The platform at Cfaieago did not call for it, ana 1 think tbat if there had been any mention of this tax in toe platform the platform would never have been sdopted." I HIS COMPLIHENTS TO COCKBAH “Now, Mr Croker, bow about some of the men who have opposed yon in Tammany Hali? How aboat Bourke Cookran?" “I notice that Mr. Coekran hasaidd tbat the only fanlt he had to find with Tammany Hall was toat there waa too mach leader al^out iL He is quoted u making this statement in toe pnblio print, and h« has taken no oeeaMon to deny lA I think thet thu eemee wito bed grace frfom bun.

"Hid bo insist on having that nomination "Yes. he insisted in every nay, and niged his claiiDs with the greatest perseverance,” "Did you think he waa entitled to toe noQiioatioo?” "No. I did noA I thought he was well enongh off where he waa, and it gave me great pleasure to uipport Mr. Murphy. In tact, I felt It a great honor to support him. Mr. Murphy and 1 have long been friends.” PEAI8B FOB TAMMANY OUVBBNMBNT. "What do you think, Mr. Croker, of tfieee many men mho erS now crying about oorrnption and fraud in the departments of the eity governirfeni?" "I have only tois to say: New York is the most splendid city and the beat governed municipality I have eoen in all my travelA 3nst let me tell you this: Twenty-five years uro toe budget was as big as it is to-day, although BOW we have nearly a million more inhabitante.

S88.OOO railroad employn Who did not belong to any organization. The Union wontM them. It did not want aa aristoeracy of employes. It wanted to take in the trackmen and the wiper ee well es the engineer and conductor. They would still remain in their eiasi; the engineer by himself, the wipir by bimself. bnt they would be united, aud toe wrong of the wiper would be the wrong of tba engineer, and all would fight togetheHor the common good. Members of the old organization were coining into the naion at the rate of 2,(Jw a day, and soon the union wonid be so strong thet strikes wonid be impossible; Meetinnof the American Railway Union were public and there was no foolishness about them. They met like men aud transacted their business like men end then went home. He stated that railways all over the United States were forming combinations aeainst employes and be urged the railroad men present to come forward and join the union and bs la position

to fight if a fight was neceisorr.

E. V. Debs president of the union, fol-

lowed Mr. Howard. He said tbat in the last year more than two hundred railroad eomnanies had gone out of existence. They had been combined with the larger systems, and at the present time the n^roads of toe United States 'fere represented by fifteen Igige roadA They bad combined to reduce wageA In toe South they bad got w^es down to 67 centa a day. He said that 67 cents a day wilges meant anarchy, bloodshed and rsvolut'on A man could not live for that sum of money. He unted organization the only remedy Mminst the eorabinatlon of the corporatioDA He said that if all the railroad men ol the eonntry were joined in ooe organiMtion toat woold act as a nnit, the railroad companies «)ould not data to act tinjnstly toward the men.
