CROKER HAS a PLAN TO RAISE THE TAMMANY
CORRUPTION FUND TO 100000

CROKER HAS a PLAN TO RAISE THE TAMMANY
CORRUPTION FUND TO $4,000.
Boss Croker has decided that the body of Tammany
Hall minions has become so large that 1t VIII be
good politics. to Increase propoionatey the General
and District Committees of the organization The
present strength of the Tammany Hall General COM
mittec is about $500. Next year II will be raised
TO at least 5000. The Committee on Organization
is composed Of twenty-five members Of the General
Committee in each Assembly District, and as many
more, not exceeding fifty, as will pay the annual
fee into the Tammany treasury, otherwise, cor
ruptlon fund. The District Committees are composed
OF all those Tammany Hall in the Assembly
Districts who willing to pay a IS fee into the
Golfers Of Treasurer McQuade. Mr. Croker's idea Is
to swell the membership Of the District Committees
until their aggregate reaches 10000. For 1871
there were about $4,000 In these committees.
Few who do not make politics a study have any
idea OF the immense revenue which Tamnany HAL
yearly derives from the membership fees paid into
its campaign fund. Each member Of the General
Committee pays slO and II he is member OF the Com
mittee Organization he pays sl5 more. From
these two sources alone the annual "bootle' for
election purposes and kindred expenses Is about
$4,000. II the District Committees are augmented
10 the figure Mr.. Croker has proposed, 10000 the
its members will place at the Boss's control Tor
In next years campaign Will reach 100000
This with the amounts before computed will give
the Tammany tiger income in 1902 of about
535O,OOO. How much OF this will go to buy
votes at the polls next November will
be something for Republicans and anti Tammany Demo
crats to guess at this winter
The various governing committees will meet this
week at the Wigwam to issue MT. Croker's expected
ukase regarding the increase of members. The Tam
many leaders have been sending out rumors during
the last few days that the principal part of what Is
left OF the County Democracy will be regularly listed
Wigwam Indians before the next primaries are held.
similar reports have been started about the VOorhis
Democracy. Commissioner VOorhs and his right hand
man. "A ssembyman John Martin den ID yester-
day there any truth In the story of possible
desertions to Tammany from their organization They
declared that not man Of any consequence would
leave them.
