As was stated last week it is poY REASONABLY
certain that the Democrats do not really lntena

DOES HE WANT The CONVENTION HERE?
CROKER'S FRIENDS SAY THEY DON'T BELIEVE
1T AND TELL WHY.
Is Richard Croker I'm earnest in his movement TO
make NewYork City the place for holding the
Democratic National Convention, or is his arrange
ment for swooping down upon Washington III Ms
special train and committee OF 100 Iammany warriors
in war.pant only big bluff This question in
various shapes frequently asked yesterday, ana
the action OF the Tammany Hall Committee on Or
ganization on Friday night the subject was topic
OF much discussion among politicians That there Is

slippers strongly suspected and some OF tho braves
Of note who expressed their sentiments were decidedly
Of the opinion that the Boss was rowing one way
and looking another just now
If Croker wants TO start the cry that the gang
he trains with have undertaken TO Tammanyke the
Nation said one Of his bra1y henchmel, " he could
not effect II easier. Bringing the National Convention
here would pretudices against the Democratic
party in large numbers OF persons who cannot endure
Tammany methods but who naturally with MS on
election day. feel pretty that Richard Cookers
head is too level for this.
Besides this holding the convention In New-foTk
would stir up lot Of Ccveland's enthusiasts who
would consider it their religious duty to get up

other States the belief that the claim that Hi is the
choice OF New York Is all mistake. There is no
rood politics in afording Hills enemies any such
opportunities
Another well-known Tammany Democrat did not
believe that Croker acting In good faith about the
convention because he believed that the Democrats
have nothing to gain by such procedure. 1t wouu
