TAMMANY HALL
1T PUTS OUT A TICKET FOR THE
COUNTY OFFICES

3pert Jr. Withdraw Prom the City Ticket
As Candidate for President Of City Coun-
cil-Mayor Strong to Publicly Ksdorse
Seth Low
New York. October THE most i'm
portant political events Of today were
the yielding Of Richard Croker to the
demand of nearly all the other Tam
many leaders that the nomination Of
Thomas F. Grady for district attorney
Of New York county be not forced upon
them, and the withdrawal of Jacob
Rupert, Jr., Tammany candidate for
president Of the council of Greater New
York.
When the executive committee of
Tammany Hall met this afternoon to
make up the county ticket, Mr.. Croker
spoke in favor Of the nomination Of
Mr.. Grady for district attorney. All
the other members Of the committee
spoke in opposition, declaring that Mr..
Grady would be defeated and would
weaken the ticket. Mr.. Croker then
acquiesced with the majority.
This ticket, prepared by the executive
committee, was subsequently nominal
ed by the county conventions: Sheriff, >.
Thomas Dunn; district attorney, Asa
Bird Gardiner; register, Isaac
FrOmmes; county clerk, William Soh-
mer; supreme court judges. Francis NJ.
Scott and Charles H. Van Brunt; city
court judges, John H. Mccarthy and
Edward F. O'Dwyer; president of the
borough, Augustus w. Peters; corO-
ners, Edward l.. Fitzpatrick, w. w.
Hart, Jacob E. Bauch and Antonio
yucca.
Colonel Asa Bird Gardiner, the nomi-
nee for district attorney, gained dis
tinction in the union army during the
civil war. He represented the govern
ment in many important cases in the
civil courts and was counsel in the
Fitz John Porter and Generals Grant
and Sheridan and G.. K. Warren cases
and defended those gentlemen in that
inquiry. Duriag the last Cleveland adj
ministratiOn he vas assistant secre-
tary of war. He has been a Cleveland
democrat in politics.
Jacob Rupert, Jr., says he withdrew
from the Tammany city ticket because
he could not leave his business to per-
form the duties of the office.
The citizens union leaders claim that
Mayor Strong will come out publicly
for Seth Low in a few days and make

A Bad Day for Luetgert

Chicago, October 7.-One more day Of
evidence and the finish of the Luetgert
murder trial will be in sight. The state
announced today that it has but a few
more witnesses and that it would get
through with them without much delay
tomorrow. An adjournment will then
be taken until Monday, when the de-
Tense will offer a small amount of sur
rebuttal and then the way will be clear
for the arguments Of the attorneys,
which will take about one week..
1t was a bad day for the defense. The
evidence of two Of their chief witnesses
was almost destroyed. Mary Siemmer-
ing, and William Charles, Luetgert's
business partner, were the sufferers.
Witness after witness came upon the
stand and swOre hat when Mary
Siemmering has denied that she had
admitted improper relations with Luet-
CERT she had not told the truth. They
said she had admitted it and in the
most unequivocal manner. Most of
these witnesses were members of the
grand jury which had indicted Luet-
gert and their evidence was crushing.
They all told the same story and the
most desperate efforts Of the defense
could not shake one of them.
Prominent business men who had
dealings with Charles and bankers
with whom he had done business SwOre
that he could not be believed under
oath, and told of shady business trans
actions of which he had been guilty.
In this case as in that of Mary Stem
mering, the defense made frantic eff
orts to save the character Of their wit
neSses, but were NOT able to accom-
pliSh anything.

Commercial Conditions in Spain

Washington, October 7.-Consul Cen
eral Bowen has reported to h state
department on the commercial condi-
tons in Spain. He says from the fig
ures, it would appear that SPANS
trade has not yet been affected by her
military operations in Cuba and the
Philippine islands, still there would be
a very apparent decrease in the total
expectations if the amount of supplies
troops could be ~ascertained and until
the Cuban war is ended all statistics
of SPANS trade, the consul says, must
be accepted as somewhat misleading.
The consul is informed by foreign
commercial travellers that there is a
considerably less demand for foreign
goods in Spain than a year ago and
that the trade outlook is not bright.
United states exports to Spain consist
chiefly Of cotton, petroleum and slaves,
and in normal times, amount to about
SIS, 000, 900, but during the present yea
will amount to about $14, 000, 600. The
Spaniards care little for our agricul-
tural implements and machinery.
OuT WUedl llty COISTucI lOO Lille dIlu
| what of it they buy they mix with coar-
| ser Russian grades. They consider our
bicycles the best in the world but as
they are more expensive than English,
French and German makes, few are i'm
ported. Bicycling is not very popular
in Spain, as Spanish women do not re-
| gard wheeling in keeping with pro-
| priety.
Spain the consul says, has a high pro-
tective tariff which operates adversely to
the United States, as we have no treaty
with her according lower rates. An
other serious question is that Of ex-
cvhange. Gold is at a premium of Owe
80 per cent. Seven years ago, 100
pesetas in Spanish silver Or paper
| would buy 100 francs worth Of French
goods. Today $50 pesetas would have
70 be paid for them. Silver, paper and
| copper, all on a par with each other,
| are the only moneys used in local COM
| mercial transactions and in the custom
houses. There is practically no gold
| circulation in Spain. Exchange being
so high, the price of food and living are
| of course affected and the general ten
dency now is to advance the prices of
all commodities. Certain English,
| German and French firms during the
past two years have established facto-
ries in Spain to meet the new condi-

PUBLIC OPINION.

There is little doubt that Senior Sa-
gasta would be willing to grant true
autonomy to Cuba, in some such meas
ure as that which Canada now enjoys.
There is reason to think that such an
arrangement would be accepted by the
Spanish people as the lesser of two evils
or the least of three. 1t may be as
sumed that the United States would
regard it with benevolent satisfaction.
But would the CubanS themselves ac-
Cept it? They have been saying they
would not. They say so now. They de-
clare they will be satisfied with moth
ing short of entire independence.-New
York Tribune, Rep.
To appoint a negro as postmaster in
a place where the people who patron
ize the office object to colored officials
is as great a mistake as it would be to
name a Chinaman for such a position
in a city like San Francisco. The mar
selected as postmaster in any place
should be the man who is obviously
best fitted to serve the community in
that capacity to it's satisfaction. If any
aspirant for the place is offensive to
most of those who send and receive let
ters. hat fac should be conclusive
against consideration of his name,
whether the objection be to his age,
his color, his temper his habits, his
iI1C, VI VIZ INV oiAN
or acQuired.-New York Evening Post,
Ind.
In no other country in the world in
which the press is free is it so erratic
and ineffective as it is in England. 1t
neither voices public opinion nor repre-
sents the sentiments or intentions of the
ministry of the day, to whatever party
that ministry may belong. Thirty years
ago and earlier the British press was a
power in the state, but in the past
quarter e a century it has abdicated it's
old function as exponent of the pur-
poses of parties or the will~of govern
ments. British newspapers have been
snarling at the United States pretty
constantly for the past hundred years
and over. On more than a score of Oc-
casions W the time of the Ala
bama claims dispute, around 1870, to the
Venezuelan controversy, of 1895, the
British press threatened the vengeance
of their government on the "preten-
sions'' of the United States, yet, in
every instance, the course which they
predicted their government would not
and dare not take turned out to be the
very course which it took.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, Rep.
