He scores Hepublican rule in Brooklyn, and says he stands for clean govern- ment and not for anti-Tammany, anti-Republican or anti-anything else. Here {s hs letter: MR. GROUT’S LETTER, Mr. R. Fulton Cutting, Chairman Citizens’ Union. My Dear Sir: I have your letter of yesterday. Oct. 1, 1903, In contrast with the personal abuse to which I have been subjected, and the misconstruction of my words, my record, my position and my character, which I have lately @ndured, it is gratifying to meet a direct inquiry such as yours. Such abuse and misconstruction come, I must confess, chiefly from ‘btased partisans who seem dearly to love the opportunity to hate a Demo- erat whom they cannot make subservient to their partisan end: 8; and if the coming campaign is to be distorted from the discussion of municipal issues 4nto a contest between Republicanism and Democracy—an event which, equal- \y with yourself, I should deplore—it will be largely the result of the words and acts of some Republicans during the past few days. That I hope such @ result that I stand upon the Citizens’ Union platform in its fundamental principle, ‘‘that the business affairs of municipal corporations should be managed upon their own merits, inrespective of State and national issues,” T have made clear in a public record of many years. WILL CONTINUE A DEMOCRAT, Three years ago, a regular Democrat, as I am now and expect to con- tinue, and a Democrat office-holder, I served notice upon my party to re- volt against misgovernment, even though it were the work of Democrats. ‘Two years ago I was the candidate of the Fusionists for Comptroller and made the fight upon conscience. I made it openly as a Democrat. I spoke treely; perhaps bitterly, but never save as a Democrat, who loved Dem- oeracy though he scourged it, and who resented that any, under cover of the honorable name of Democracy, should seek personal gain or oppress the people. It was a fight for good government and it succeeded. I do not regret it. You say that “the attitude of your candidates must be not only pro-good government, but aggressively anti-~Tammany.” | Anti-vammany, anil-Repaol.zan, or anti-any organization which in not for good government would be a fairer and more no} rtinan enlarge- ment of the proposition. The Republican party controlled the last ad- ministration of the city of Brooklyn; the scandals attaching to that ad- ministraion rivalled many associated wtth Tammany government. Is it your desire that “pro-good government” may also be aggressively anti-Re- publican? If so, you have omitted to state it. ‘the People have put the seal of disapproval on both, THE REAL QUESTION AT ISSUE, The question of the day is not whether the past partisan administra- tions of affairs in New York and Brooklyn were bad, but whether during the past two years our city has been administered with superior wisdom and integrity. This I am prepared to advocate, and in its advocacy I do not propose, and never have proposed, to belittle the splendid achievements of this administration or hide its errors (errors which I have openly criti- sised in the course of my duties during the past two years) by any denun- ciation of measures and men not directly at issue; neither do I propose to fail in the least to say any word proper in such advocacy, no matter ‘whom that word offend. A fortnight ago, when I returned from my vacation, I was confronted with the necessity, against ny wish, against personal interest, of accept- ing the fusion nomination for Comptroller. It was impressed upon me by many people that the cause of good government, especially as expressed in the Mayor, would suffer if I refused. I put aside all other consideration save public ones and accepted the trust. I said to you then that in the main and locigally the :oxtest uust be made upon th» record of the ad- ministration, which I mist defend as effectively as I could, certainly as to every part of it which I halped to make. I must repeat this statement ot the issue, which {s entirely in agreement with your platform, and I can by no mans agree with the newer proposition in your letter that “the fore- most issue is the defeat of the existing management of Tammany Hall," A FLING AT, THE FUSIONISTS. I assume, sir, that I was nominated to be elected, not to be defeated. and that my re-election, only slightly less than the Mayor's, is deumed by fusicnists to be important to the cause of good government and of’ non- partisan administration. But it seems that this is not so. It seems that the prospect of the certain re-election of Mr. Fornes and myseif, which, coupled with the well-nigh assured re-election of Mr. Swanstrom and Mr. Cromwell, gives to fusionists in any event the control of the Board of Bsti- mate, the practical control of the Sinking Fund Commission, as well na tho control of the offices which Mr. Fornes and myself hold, is nothing for good government. I went further in my letter to you and expressed my resentment at ‘he purely personal attacks upon the Mayor, I shall not recede from this tround, even though he fails not to gay a word for me, though he fails to make it known that ten days ago I talked to him of the possibility of the tegular Democracy indorsing my record and my nomination, “with its eyes open and without obligation,” to quote you, and that ft then seemed to him, ag I believe it still seemg to yon something from which the Fusion cause could have received nothing bi benefit. If now it seems possibly to be hurtful, the change {s due largely to partisan Republican attacks upon me. I disavowed in my letter to you, aleo the claim that the issues here were between Republicanism and Democracy. If both offered equal promise of good government, I would prefer the latter. But in city affairs I maintain that neither should be considered. That is the true position as to all city elections. I have so maintained heretofore, both as candidate and as official, and shall so continue, TAMMANY ASKS NO CONDITIONS. | mye Ay. Jpdarneanens, of my nomination ayant be made without qualifcation, ee | without condition, without bargain or pledge, without seeking, and with eyes wide open to my position as I now state it to you. Indeed, this letter wi) be made public before the convention, and my indorsement, if made, will lv with full knowledge of what I have here said, and you now say that suc), indorsement might properly be accepted. Let me reveal to you that with the proffer of this indorsement was made precisely the same respect which is now made on your part. I was asked then, as you ask me, to promise what part I should take upon the stump. make the same answer: I will make no promises; my record and my views are well known; I will do what my conscience, my sange of fitness, my judg- ment, ..al) in each sjtuation dictate. If 1 am not to be trusted upon my record, especially in view of my recent letter to you, let me alone. To you, however, I must modify the last part of that answer by saying that your organization has renominated me because it approved of my record; with full knowledge that I would accept any unsought and unconditional indorse- ment. It has notified me of its action, and I maintain that clearly neither it nor the Republican party has any moral or honorable right, the Republican party certainly, and your organization probably, no legal right, to destroy my candidacy. I was made a candidate against my will, but after all that liar oc- curred I owe it to my good name in the community not to permit myself to be destroyed in this manner, but to fight for this office as if there were nothing else I desired more. HAS PRECEDENT FOR HIS POSITION. I believe that I am right. I know that I am following the precedent of thirteen years ago, when Senator Platt, Mr. Jerome and the very papers which now denounce me approved the indorsement given by Tammany Hall to the Fusion nominee, my predecessor, Comptroller Myers. I am approval which I receive from independent Democrats. that I am right, let me say that if I be left off of every t! the American sense of fair play. by harping upon the sins of men who two years ago were active in that organization but now are gone; {it can be won only by approval of the record of administration of city affairs during the past two years. To sustain the record fairly and honestly I am committed and was committed { before there was any suggestion that I be indorsed. To do that I shall con- tinue as free as I always have been. But it seems that critics demand of me not argument, not proofs, no appeal to the reason of voters, but denun- ciation, bitter words and an appeal to men’s passions. fying spectacle to any New Yorker who loves his city to see it ruled In its} election by such considerations. Can you conceive of anything more non-partisan than a unanimous nomination? Can you tell me of any reason why a public o cial, re- nominated, should say to any organization which proposed to endorse his record that he will not recelve and welcome such endorsement if it be with- out condition? I confess that I cannot. Yours very truly, (Signed) EDWARD M, GROUT, MR, FORNES’S LETTER. In his \gtter to Mr. Cutting accepting the prospective nomination to- night by Tammany Hall, President Fornes says: Mr. R, Fulton Cutting, Chairman Citizens’ Union, No, 34 Union Square, E., Manhattan. My Dear Mr. Cutting: Your letter of the 30th ult., inclosing copy of a communication addressed to Mr, Grout, reached me yesterday afternoon, but owing to the pressure of other matters I was prevented from making an immediate reply. You state “I preferred to write you somewhat more personally, but at the same time I cannot state my general attitude better than I have done in the letter to Mr. Grout,” and I assume from this that you wish me to define, or rather reaffirm, my attitude in reference to the coming political campaign. When I accepted the nomination of the Citizens’ Union two years ago I understood then that it was an organization whose fundamental principle is “That the business affairs of municipal corporations should be managed npon their own merits, irrespective of State or national issues,” and I understood the same to be its position now. In accepting that nomination I was simply contending for a principle which J had always advocated and fought for dur- ing my whole lifetime. How well I have stood for that principle is exemplified in my official acts since becoming Presdent of the Board of Aldermen, and I want to state to you frankly that whenever “the Citizens’ Union opposes Tammany Hall incidentally but no less emphatically because it contests our principes | ¢ and under its present minagement maintains, unchanged, the persistent policy of the past—exploitation of government for personal ends,” that I not only oppose Tammany Hall under such conditions, but every other or ganization and every other party; and I may add that I am not only opposed to the exploitation of municipal government for personal ends, but [ am just as uncompromisingly opposed to its exploitation for partisan ends, Thé principal point in your inquiry, however, seems to refer to an in dorsement of my candidacy by other organizations or parties than those I accepted a renomination to office from the Citizens’ Union and the Re- publican party upon the Fusion platform of non-partisanship in municipal office and the prudent and economical administration of the city’s affairs, and I consider that if an unconditional indorsement of my candidacy upon that platforin is tendered to me by any other party or organization that it will be an indorsement of Mayor Low's administration, of which I am prow to be a part, and for whose re-election I will loyally and earnestly contend 1 should unhesitatingly accept such an indorsement if it came to me withou obligation or condition, with, I believe, entire propriety and self-respect Yours very truly, C.
