At the same time, if he has any intention
of that kind he will never have better OPP
portuuity for gratifying his ambition. This
being presidential year Tammany hall is
pretty certain to pull its ticket through
After that the trouble will begin. The
organization is growing so strong that it is
pretty certain to fall apart by reason of its
own weight. Every form of dissatisfac-
ton will manifest itself after the President
is chosen, and the probabilities are that it
will be many years before Tammany is as
strong and defiant as it is oday. Its in
ability to furnish offices to everybody who
makes demand is naturally creating dis
sension and when this aggregates sutti-
GENTLY there will be protest of some kind
which will make the nucleus for a grand
non-partisan rally. From what | know of
and have seen of Mr.. Croker, L rather
think that he prefers to enjoy po-
litical power without being person
ally conspicuous. He did not care
particularly to take the Office of city
chamberlain, but he was urged thereto by
his friends, who held that, inasmuch as his
savage organization would be made respon-
sible for the city government, it would be

city would be great achievement Tor
man who began life as humbly as Richard
Croker, but to a man holding relations to a
political organization such as he maintains
it would be beset with many dangers.
When his health gave out two or three
years ago, Mr.. Croker was seriously
alarmed, and doubt very much whether
he would like to burden himself with
mayors care. in view of the risk which
would be involved. My theory is that the
Tammany people will pick out as a caudi-
date for mayor some man who Is not too
closely allied to other organizations and
who may yet be depended upon to serve
Tammany, and who may yet command a
large independent vote. They will Ger
tainly do this if they are wise and if they
consult the future of their organization.
For there is very strong feeling in Demo
cratic circles outside of Iammany that the
close corporation business is being over
done.
