BOssISM UPHELD.

The Croker interview in the morning
papers yesterday must be accepted as
the official platform of the boss system
as IL Is understood and practised In New
York. Ostcnsibly n defense Of himself,
1t Is really an exposition OF the system
Of which he is the representative and
which worked so disastrously for the
Democratic party this year. BY claiming
that he turns down all ofiice-holdcrs
whose actions do not satisfy him. he
comedies that he Is an absolute dictator
and decides whom the people shall sup
port for office and for whom they shall
be forbidden to vote. His whole argu-
ment is, In fact. bold justification OF
the autocratic rule of boss and de-
fiancc of the anti-machine sentiment
which buried Judge Maynard under more
than one hundred thousand minority
last month.
In plain English Mr.. Croker Gays: 81
am the leader of the Tammany Dcmoc-
racy. 1 give the city good government.
| have no intention OF resigning my posi-
tion and power, and OF allowing the peo-
pie to name their own candidates for
office. I will do that for them"
OF course, the fallacy OF Mr.. Croker's
argument that no money Is made out of
politics Is transparent. Look at the
sworn statements of the expenditures OF
the candidates for Office" he says. "and
you will see how unfounded IL the as
sertion." But he says nothing Of the
amounts assessed on candidates for nom
nations, nor about the money each
asplrant Is required to pay to get his
name on a ticket
Mr.. Croker is the representative and
| champion of an autocracy In political
management which the people have con-
demned, and which they seem disposed
TO put do'vh They do not seem to want
Mr.. Croker or any other boss to exercise
the absolute power OF debating to them
for whom they shall vote for Mayor
Comptroller. Sheriff. Assemblymen
Senators. Congressman and all other
public officers. and this Ia Just the power
which Mr. Croker declares his intention
Of maintaining.
