Richard Croker Knows How TO
Capture u Trick or Two.

Washington, Nov. 15.-"DIck"
Croker, the Tammany Hall chief,
has gone fishing. He deserves to
have good luck. While comfortably
seated waiting for a bite he will no
doubt think Of the many interesting
incidents connected with the Tam
many campaign just closed in New
York. The following incident he
will be sure to recall to his memory
wi h a smile:
The Saturday before the election
three OF the Tammany leaders OF the
Assembly districts reported to Mr..
Croker that they had been approach
ed by wealthy Republican, repre-
senting the National Committee,
with an offer of a large sum of mon
ey if they would run OUT Harri-
son electoral tickets in their dis
tricts instead Of the Cleveland tick
cts. Croker told them to make the
promise, get the money ana bring 1t
TO him. Early IN the evening the
men returned with tie money, SAID
to have been $4,000. Alter the
supposed deal had been made the
Republicans got new pull on their
confidence. They thought that the
three ''bought" Tammany leaders
would give them 10000 votes in
New York county. and word went
out from Tom Carriers committee to
bet on Harrison. la the meantime |
Croker sent the money to Mike |
Dryer and instructed him to play
it on Cleveland and he would allow
him the usual 10 per cent. commits.
sion. Dwyer succeeded in betting
off the entire amount at even odds.
The result was that the Republican
money brough, Croker and Tam.
many Hall snug fortune, and when
he returns came III from the three
bought districts the Republicans
we're dumfounded to see that Cleve-
and ran ahead OF the Tammany
'onnty ticket 7S6 votes.
Mr.. Croker will also think and
mile again, how ne came it over q
Johnny Davenport. Johnny and
lis assistants gave out that they

shals. This was nuts for Croker
and a thing he had been longing and
waiting Tor. He sent for five OF his
tru.ty leaders and told them to dis
guise ten thousands Tammanyites
make them look as "hard and des-
perate" as possible and have them
to blockade Davenporrs ctlice and
the Offices of his assistants and tor
them to see that they were sworn in
as Deputy Marshals right off and not
to stir from their tracks until they
got their badges. The scheme work
ed like a charm, and fully TOUR fl tbs

Since the election Croker has had
a great deal of fun sending "ihe
boys" to Davenport two or three
times a day to sc, their 50. They
have driven Davenport out OF the
city, and he is said to be hiding
somewhere in Ionkers. Between

The Vote of Kentucky.

The total vote of Kentucky IN the
recent election, with the returns
rom six counties no; tffcial y repor-
ted is:
Cleveland 17o,556.
Harrison 1876 555.
Weaver 21,9i7.
Bldwell 0,I53.
This gives Cleveland a plurality
over Harrison of II col, and a ma
jority over all the presidential can
didates Of 1891 CIevelinds vote
this year is 5, 900 less than it was
four years ogo, and Harrison is Is,
500 less. The Prohibition vote Is
practically the same "a it was fou,
years ago. The vote OF Weaver this
year is just about the same as the
vote of the disgruntled element in
1879, when Cook was a candidate
for Governor. and he and Weaver
were Grreenbackers together. Thus
it is readily seen that the Third
party idea has gained little or no
ground in Kentucky in thirteen
years

Company Fence Broken Down and strik-
ers In Possession.
There were probably 5000 of them, and
they streamed toward the company fence
at the landing and got there ahead of the
boats. Finding that the boat would land
inside the fence, the mob just demolished
that structure, and taking their position
on the company's property proceeded to
resist the landing Of the cots, etc, and
particularly of the hated Pinkerton guards.
They crowded to the very waters edge,
and in the throng were many women and
not few children.
Who Fired That ShotS
As the boat struck the shore a plank
was showed off and two Pinkertons, one
being Captain Hind, who was in charge of
the party, stepped upon it, the mill men
crowding down closer, and with wild cries
warning the men to 20 back. They didn't
obey, and in moment there was a fash,
report and the battle was begun. Who
frsd the shot? The Pinkerton captain.
