After asserting that repenting , riot , nsault

says : "It IB the work of a depornto anti

justed , organIzed and run as to enable Individuals -

'Murphy republicans , ' a class as much mistrusted -
trusted In theory ns , the Murphy democrats

lice conunlssloners , on the police force and
In other stntons , anti abject auhmlsslon to
MurlJhy Is time apparent price of lhelr ap-
polnlmenl. Their chief value lIes In their
pretended oflaton with time m'cimtmblicamt
party , for democrats can be found In abundance -
dance to commit crimes ; the need Is to fml
men who will do vie service and nt the
same ( tine . by proesslng republcanim ,
place narly. part or time odium upon the republcan
-
"Under this machine a Bystem so de-
gradell and roten has been created and fostered -
tered that no person who has not actually
heard the teslmony could believe that n
conllton so alipaling and corrupl could exist
In a civilized and dccent community. The
republican party Is In no way responsible for
this condition , but some individual mcmbers
of that part are responsible Year after
year lurph'lsl has gained strength. One
republican has Rurrendered himsel for ofce :
another tor business advantage ; another
through fear , until scores of prominent re-
puiblicans . who were willing lo trade their
political principles for '
pollcni personal advantage
are now serving as Murphy republicans.
The effect upon the republican party or this
pernicious system Is that large numbers of
apparently respectable men , claiming lo be
republicans , can be put Into Immediate and
determined acton at the bidding of Mr.
Murphy even though such acton be against
republican measures and agaInst the overwhelming -
whelming sentIment or the republican parly.
"In the fall or 189 . alhough the state
gave a majority or over 10.000 against Isaac .
II. Maynard , Troy . In spite of the overwhelming -
whelming and unprecedented popular up-
rising gave Maynard I majority of nearly
Ot0 , the fruds of that election being wllh-
out paralel' even In that corrupt and dc-
graded city.
"In conclusion your commIttee takes the
view that the Troy election corruption Is
due to the disregard of law by the leaders
of the emocIatc party to a dishonest and
Incompetent police force and the subserv-
Iency of many so.caled republicans to the
atrocious service ot the Murphy machine. "
