Tammany would take care of everything for them in its nice quiet way.

You wouldn't hear of any conflicts between the state and city authorities.

They would settle everything pleasant and comfortable at Tammany Hall, and every bill introduced in the Legislature by Tammany would be sure to go through.
The Republicans wouldn't count.
Imagine how the city would be built up in a short time! At present we can't make a public improvement of any consequence without goin' to Albany for permission, and most of the time we get turned down when we go there.

But, with a Tammany Governor and Legislature up at Fifty-ninth Street, how public works would hum here! The Mayor and Aldermen could decide on an improvement, telephone the Capitol, have a bill put through in a jiffy and--there you are.

We could have a state constitution, too, which would extend the debt limit so that we could issue a whole lot more bonds.
