' BLXGIIAM BACK IN FIGHT GAYXOR HIS BULL'S-EYE. Says Police Will Be Used to Help Elect Tammany, as Usual. "Did you hear what Ivins said about a certain Justice?" asked General filngham last night of an audience of three hundred at the Free Forum for Men in the Parish House of the Madison Avenue Baptist Church. Tho former Police Commissioner was talking to the Men's League. His question wasn't answered, but everybody leaned forward to hear what was coming next. ' 1 know cases similar to that," was the remark that followed He didn't go Into detail. The Tammany candidate for Mayor, however, received further attention before the end of the address. General Hlnghamgot rounds of applause as he got up to speak, and every time he arraigned Tammany the hand clapping was stormy for the Tieer. "What do you think of a Justice of the Supreme. Court who accepts a nomination and still tilts on the bench? Did you ever hear of anything more dishonorable?" he asked. There was an approving rustle and applause followed the declaration: "That one thing damns the candidate." "I want to say a few words in the hope of elect ing the right man for Mayor this fall," was th* way the former head of the police force opened his speech. He said that a crisis confronted the city, that Tammany was a nest of robber barons, and that in fusion there was hope of taking from that organization the looting power. The police were going to be used In the same old way to win the election, he said. He urged the men present to offer their services to Mr. Bannard to prevent bulldozing by the police. He continued: The Mayor made a big mistake when he fired me. He could have got rid of me so easily, llk« a white man. by asking for my resignation, and thus shutting my mouth. Now. 1 want to tell you about Tammany. If Tammany wins you are In for four more ><ars of looting. Gaynor doesn't need to put up any of his private fortune, for Tammany will pay the expenses of the campaign with your money. How does it get your money? By the contracts its followers get. through the purchase of land, which is later sold to the city for parka for as much money as possible. And if you have a pull In the Controller's oflu-e you'll get your money promptly, and if you haven't you won't As the Controller wasn't there no Interruption excepting applause followed. General Bingham told the audience to read his articles. They were good stuff, he *aid, and there was laughter. He also advised his hearers to read other articles and boom to come regarding political graft. Then he went back to Tammany, Of the devious ways of grafter* he spoke, and he said that Jerome and his "legal sharps" couldn't lay hands on them. Gambling houses flourished because of protection, he declared, and if the public complained there were fake raids. He continued: does n HIl S °.hi It: lV, U ' re mllkp d both ways.

Calling at tenttaa to the effort to score a point against the fusion candidate for .Mayor because he was presi dent of a trust company, ], declared that Oaynor got money from the president of a trust allud Ing to the Ziegler estate. General Btngham closed with: ••Elect Mr. Bannard for Mayor, and 111 feel that my years as Police Commissioner have Dot been wasted." Questions were asked after that, all, however relating to ri*e administration of the Police De partment. General Bingham. replying to a Query regarding the "third degree.- said that there was no such thing as torture connected with it such as cold water, the continuous glare of an electric light In a cell or other brutality. It consisted elm- Ply of extremely close questioning, he said He also defended "mugging." in answer to a ques tion. In regard to the organization* of the Police Department, he said that the changes he. would suggest would be power of dismissal without re instatement on the force, and with absolute hon esty as perfect an administration as possible would result He was liberally aplauded when the meet- Ing adjourned.

Brooklyn Senator Once Tried To Be a Poliiieian, but Stopped. Senator P. H. McCarren, leader of the Brooklyn Democrats, spoke upon direct primaries before the Men's club of AH Souls 1 Untversalist Church, Ditmaa and ocean avenues, Brooklyn, last night. The meeti.ig was attended by many of the leading citizens of the section. Republicans as well as Democrats. Joseph Tllden. president of the club. told the members that In securing Mr. McCarren as thtir speaker he thought that the club had about reoched It* climax. The Senator was intro duced by Edward G. Martin, chairman of the meeting and said: i want to say that I agree with Mr. Tilden thnt this is not h political meotlng. i at one time had the ambition to be a politician, but I dis suaded myself, as I saw the many perplexities that would be likely to be attendant upon the pursuit of it. So I am not here as a politician. our forefathers, coming to Hits country com paratively few years ago, left the impress of the ideas and customs which they had curried from the old countries upon the pioneer towns, ;ind these ist ill influence us. After the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, the people cast about for a proper form of government. Two Ideals pre sented themselves— the federal and the demo cratic, or representative, the latter being accepted. I'artleg ever since have supported the idea. All the people could not meet to pass laws. The rep resentative system is likely to prevail. Our system is very near thai of England, and in the early days nominations were made by the. Eng lish system, but this gradually gave way to the convention system, in the 30'e. In the last two years the direct nomination system has been under discussion in all parts o f the country. The (Governor is the champion of the nysiem here. Il lustrations <,f the working of the system have been triven In other states. The birthplace may be said to be Oregon. The experience of the nates which have adopted the system does not favor or disfavor the Hystem. The Senator took as his first illustration Boston. where a popular Mayor recently stood for re tiominatloii He was renominated with a normal Democratic majority. At the election, an obscure Republican beat him. This refutes, in the belief of the Senator, the statement of the advocates that the system which brings out an untrammelled expression i f opinion la bound to be good for the parties, because there could be no cause for com plaint after elections by the defeated. Here a party man was deserted, he said, where his party had normally v respectable majority. Heading edi loiiul comment* from various papers, the Senator showed that th« re was little voting at the primaries Umore and In Indiana und Virginia. The si>.;iker continued Some Of tie leading men declare that the direct BVBtem encourages the handshakers, the men with money, the ambitious, the demagogues. They also that citlsens become negligent espe cially in the busj centres. The glit> seltVaeekerM are likely to get more votes than the retiring man itei efficiency. This result lias been at tained in the Western States, according to intelli gent opinion The Cincinnati Commercial-Trib une" rinds the system a ridiculous failure, a cum bersome method and a boomerang upon the Demo crats, who adopted the law. That la v tip for the ltepuhllcans! here. 1 iK.-li-.-ve that in the process of evolution the conditions aie getting better all over the. country. I do not U-lleve any limn or party would *»teal tlon now. Tula is uue !•» the refusal of the l pie to ratify a stolen nomination In I<*p> one of ihe most disgraceful things that ran be found in cur political htator) occurred here Delegates, honestly elected, were sent from Brook lyn to tht- Democratic convention at liuffalo. They ■ i uinety-odd. They were ejected from their seats, and men were put in their places to nomlnat< Hearst. As these men were fruudulentlv elected, the nomination of Hearst was fraudulent. The people refused to latliy his nomination at th- polls. The primary laws have changed conditions from where the bosses selected the delegates and threw out opposing votes to an almost perfect system. Now the citizen is about as well a* at th<- polls .»n Election Day. I am trying to «et a bill through th>- Legislature that will refer con tested elections of delegate* to the Supreme Court, and not to a convention committee. Cnder the present system the leader who acts against the wishes of hi> followers > an be readily outvoted at the primaries and unseated. You all know whom the Democrats nominated for Mayor. 1 dont think that any other candi date would have hof-n nominated, even with direct nominations. Gaynor would have beaten any one else. Gaynor was forced <>n the convention by popular sentiment. It had to take him. The convention bowed to th«* will of the people and nominated a man who would have been nominated by the direct system. There is another side, is there any man here «ho knows anything about Republican politics who be lieves that Steers would have been nominated liy the direct system? No. Why? He was nominated at tii.- dictation of two men— Outerbrldge and Mitchel. The first case Ip an argument for the present system. Th»» second, an argument for dir<*< t primaries. Still. 1 contend thut the one thing for men to do Is to take as lively an In terest In politic* as the possibilities of their dally lives permit There is no reason to believe that the people can't k<-» what they want now. No fair conven tion acts against public sentiment. I'nlens the convention acts with the voters. It cannot get ltn candidates elected. The Hlnman-<;rer-n bill, sup ported hy th»- Governor, supposes all nominations to he determined on before the delegates to the convention* are selected, This is as frequently untrue as true. The only fair law is the Massa chusetts law, which inures all candidates equal — none appearing with the bucking of a political party. WESTERNACHER'S DENIAL. Says McCarren Is Not Involved in Flannery Letters— To Tell More Later. Gottfried Westernacher, whose name appears 1n the alleged letter* of Joseph a. Plannery written to himself, the photographic reproductions of which are now being exhibited by the Committee of < me Hundred at No 29 Union Square, was asked al out the letters last night. "Those letters were obtained from me by means of ■ trick." said Mr. Westernacher, "but they Mx-alc for themselves; they are no more than a legal transaction between Mr. Planner) and my self, and Senator McCarren la nol Interested In them In any manner, shape or form.

The German-American Citizena League of the State of New York held its city convention last night in Terrace Garden. (There were a hundred and forty executive members present, representing a total membership of sixteen thousand. Resolutions were paused indorsing William J. Gaynor for Mayor and tht entire Democratic county ticket. The con vention also Indorsed the Democratic borough can didates for Manhattan and The Bronx. The Kings. Queens and Richmond tickets were not indorsed, for the reason that there were not sufficient delegates, to represent those boroughs. AH the candidate.-; for Justices of the Supreme Court on the Democratic ticket were approved. William Randolph Hearst was denounced by the speakers as a "political renegade" and an "un scrupulous politician." He was called a lightning change artist in politics and the chief exponent of "yellow" journalism. It was further paid that the Democratic party, which had been made influential by -Seymour. Tllden and Cleveland, fell to a low estate when it nominated Hearst for Governor of New York. Gaynor's name was cheered every time It came before the convention. He was termed the incor ruptible judge who sent John Y. Mi Kane to prison and who broke up the McLaughlln ring in Brook lyn. The convention was called to order at •> o'clock by Chairman Alphone G. Koelble. After the roll had been called Secretary Lorenz J. Gut read a resolution to the convention that was laudatory of Dr. Cook and Herman Rldder. and that de nounced I,or<*. Here* ford and his plea of a union of defence of English speaking nations. There was little discussion of the resolutions and they were unanimously adopted. Chairman Koelble then upoke on the necessity of the German people of this city becoming identified with elections. He told the convention that they were always well treated before election, but after ward they were always treated with Indifference. He said the recent parade of the German people of the city caused the politicians to realize the strength of the German-Americans, ami now as a result of this realization they should get some thing in the way of having German-Americans appointed to office. The preamble to the resolution indorsing Gaynor and the New York County Democratic ticket began as follows: Actuated by a desire for good government and believing the protestations of the Committee of One Hundred that it favored the selection of a non-partisan ticket In the pending city election your executive committee presented to such com mittee, although self-constituted, the names of two of its most representative members for mem bership in the Committee of One Hundrtd. Although at mi.h time the league numbered close to live thousand members, the controlling powers of the Committee of One Hundred failed to consider the name* we submitted, and appoint ed as members of such body for 'he most* part such as represented nothing more than them selves. Your executive committee then decided not to commit the league to a scramble and dicker for nominations as a price, for savins the city; into which 'he conferences between the. Committee of One Hundred, the. Parsons. Woodruff and Hearst machines and paper organizations terminate^,, but to let all parties nominate and then choose the best from among them. Justice Oaynor himself favored a non-partisan nomination, but recognized that the majority of the voters of the greater city were of Democrat faith, and that they were as anxious as any other body f->r good government The learned jurist re sented the condition of the self-constituted SH\ior of the city that he must not accept the nomina tion of the .strongest political party In the great.! city. And now comes W. Ft Hearst. In politics) a lightning change artist, aligning himself with any party that might be of service to htm eating one day out of the hand of the political leader he had denounced and the next day biting the hand that fed him, himself unscrupulous and a political renegade, he questions the political ethics of his betters.

In reply to attucks on him by Mirabeau L. Towns, Mr. Ivlns said: "Mr. Towns pays his respects to me in his cus tomary way. No man thoroughly knows himself. It is possible that Mr. Towns knows me thor oughly. But I know myself sufficiently well to know that I did not Ret $60,000 In a year for bringing fraudulent cases against the city in sewer damage suits, and I was never indicted by a grand Jury. Mr. Gaynor Is losing his temper. Mr. Towns cannot lose either his f« 'y or his characteristics which led to his indictment. You cannot separate him from them with an ax." Speaking of the statement by Mr. Ivlns that the racing anil gambling Interests framed up a test case which was before Justice Gaynor. and related to betting a box of golf balls on a golf match, a friend of Charles H. Hyde said last night: 'I know as a positive fact that Judge Gaynor did not pit as a magistrate in that case. He simply granted a writ of habeas corpus to review the action of the magistrate in holding the defendant. A refusal to grant the writ would have subjected him to a fine of $1,000." CIVH A LLIAXCE STICKS. Gehring Files Petition Said to Haze 50 ,000 Names. Clarence J. Shearn. when asked yesterday what effect the attempted steal by Brooklyn Democrats of the Civic Alliance's name and emblem would have, said that it would have none except to give trouble to members of the party. "1 do not be lieve thai the Hoard of Elections will countenance any such actions as have been attempted by Me- Carren and his gang." said Mr. Shearn. 'I know that President DqoUbsj will see that we get a square deal. The same men who tiled the name and emblem have also signed the petitions nominating Mr. Hearst and the rest of our ticket, so there can be no question as to which set of petitions is genuine. If by any chance we are not allowed to use the name Civic Alliance; all we have to do is to choose another name and emblem. There i* plenty of time to do this, and we arc sure of a place on the ballot, no matter what happens." President Pooling of the Board of Elections said last night that a petition from the Civic Alliance containing the requisite lumber of signatures had been received. "Protests have been received from several persons about this petition."' said Mr. Dooling. 'and the whole matter will be thrashed out on Friday. Tills board is not bound la notice any petition which may have been riled previously with th« Secretar> of State." Mr. Gehrm*J ha* maintained that as the petition nominating Robert Stewart for Justice of the Su preme Court was tiled at Albany thirty-six hours before the "McCsxren petition" «<*> fl!e«1 at the Hoard ©I Election* the genuine document was bound to take precedence over the other one. Mr. Gebrmg tiled his petition, said in contain about fifty thousand signatures, at 11:15 o'clock last night. The chances are that the matter will be brought up before the court;* this morning The leaders of the Civic Alliance were busy all day planning for the campaign, but did not tell what they were going to do. except that there would be ■ meeting at Cooper T'nion to-morrow night, at which William M. Ivins. Charles S. Whit man. Clarence J. saMara, Cyrus i. Bulzberger and J. Asplnwall Hodge would speak. John J. Hopper will preside.
