Court which he holds by appointment as Juase
Iugraham's successor, and Judge Roger A. Pryor VIII
be nominated for the Court OF Common Pleas Juogeshp
which he secured by the favor Of Governor mn wien
Judge Richard L. LaITemorc resigned. Much oppos-
ton to Judge Pryor has been developed during e s'
few weeks, had there been sharp local coh'esV III
which the Tammany and anti -Tsmmany forces "ero
massed against each other he would have been Vu1eu
down" But Boss Croker has now decided that tie
exConfederate General be safely put through Win
the rest OF the county ticket
Somewhat similar reasons will prevail TO cause the
denomination OF Chief Judge Simon NJ Ehriichflor 'uuso
Of the City Court. The Judges enemies thought tey
had him eliminated from the ticket month
ago, but it is understood that tney nave
given up the fight. Strong efforts were
made to transfer the nomination to exudge Leonard

in time to allow his successor to be chosen at the
general election 1t well known that Mr. Oegcrich
would prefer to return to the bench and that he gave
up his denomination to the City Court to Judge New"

reluctance He was told that he still young
man and could afford to wait. He expects to demand
a fuflment of the promise that he shall have Judge

vacancy having been caused by the resignation OF
David McAdam when he was promoted TO be !uuge

associates, Daniel Hsny and Louis J. Schultze, VINO

coroner and J. p Solomon, Editor Of The Hebrew

lie Works Department as superintendent OF meh
ways in the Twenty third and Twenty fourth wards,
and he and Mr. Purroy may be told to let well
enough alone for the present, but the other two are
being warmly pushed for places. Mr.. Crokers
brotherin-law will probably get one of them

Mr. Croker's crowd OF "spelbinders" has been raised
in number from 100 to 200 shouters. The former
figure was found insufficient for flooding the state with
that choice article OF literature known as Iammany
or0tory so another draft was made on the talent With
which the Wigwam abounds, and the number OF the
Demostheneses who are 10 go foTtn 10 Tell
