NOW ACEPHAL0Us.

The resignation OF Mr.. Richard
Croker as leader OF the Tammany De
mocracy was formally rendered and ac-
cepted yesterday, and nominally the or
ganization is to-day as headless as Tcha-
bod Cranes horseman. Indeed. to make
the simile more exact, II may be said
that II has a pumpkin at present to rep
resent a head.
The resignation. a most important
movement for the organization. vas not
attended by much excitement. Eulo-
CYSTIC speeches were made. and one
member Of the Committee. Fire Com
missioner Scannell. refused to consent
to its acceptance, and cast the single
vote recorded in the negative. But
from the general feeling manifested. so
different from what 1t would have been
two or three years age. II Is evident
that there Is n want OF harmony in the
body, and that the retirement of the
leader Ia not wholly unacceptable.
The selection OF Contractor McQuade
as Chairman OF the Finance Committee
In Mr.. Croker's place seems on the sur
face to create n doubt Of the actual alb
dication of the old chief. Mr.. McQuade

1t is conceded that 1t was not made at
MIR. Croker's d!ctation. but Is, in fact, n
sort OF compromise or bridging over OF
the question of n real successor. and
was favored by all the aspirants until
the fight for the leadership can be
fought out.
The real contest Is between Mayor Gil

and It Is likely to be "a eve one. Mr..
Gilroy possesses considerable capacity
Gilroy possesses considerable capacity. but
some persons regard him as too lmpetu-
Gus for n leader. and in that respect
consider Commissioner Martin the bet
ter qualified for the position. Mr..
Croker is understood to favor the May
or's aspirations.
1t Is not probable that the question OF
a leader will be settled until after the
next election. 1t Is now believed hat
Tammany will go to defeat next No

disorganized army. which will be used
as the excuse for It's overthrow.
