He also thinks my election wouldbe a menace to the country That isnot surprising He began his legalcareer in a defense of Boss Tweedand he has been so intimately asso-ciated

with the big lawbreakers eversince that he would naturally resentthe Democratic idea of enforcing thelaw impartially against offenders
