A Pitched Battle.


In the trial before Judge Cole
burn Wednesday morning of j. w.
Caldwell against 9. D.. Regenold q
Co., of Mt. Pleasant, about barrel
of kerosene, Hayes and Lusch
Irvine were witnesses on Caldwell's
side and Clayton and Bob Tucker
were witnesses on Regenold's side.
During the trial the evidence of the
witnesses became conflicting, and
much anger was aroused, which
was given vent to in free-for-all
battle after the trial. Stones and
brick-bats were the implements of
war, and for awhile were used right
freely, but Clayton Tucker was the
only one hurt, he having received an
ugly cash in the head, from which
the blood flowed freely. The par
Elephants were arrested and brought
before Judge Erwin yesterday
morning. The cases were sub
mitted, and the Irvine boys and Bob
Tucker were fined So, Clayton Tuck

PLATT's NEXT MOVE.

The situation in Greater New York
is one that the Republican party has
never faced before. There is great
deal that does not appear on the sur
face that is involved in that contro-
versy. Which ever way it is settled
it will have consequences. Platt is d.
rectly responsible for the situation, and
upon him will fall the discredit of fail
ure or the credit of success. That he
would be met by so strong opposition
in his endeavor to secure the coopera-
ton of all the Republican organiza-
tions in Greater New York to his
scheme, he evidently did not calculate
upon. Having entered the field he
cannot retreat. He must fight it out,
Eopenly, or secretly give way on the eve
of the vote to such arrangement of the
whole Republican force as will defeat
Tammany. In any other event he
loses. A vote for Tracy that is small
er than that for Low will prove that
Plat cannot command half of the Re-
publican vote of Greater New York,
and his power in that great munich
pality will be fatally weakened. Tracy
is now in the rear of the procession.
Unles the machine power coupled with
that of the state, as welded by Gov
ernor Black, and that of the national
committee of the party can succeed
in forcing the general vote of the party
to support Tracy, then he comes in at
the tail. Tracy did not covet this race.
Boss Plat is the man who did it. In
the face of the advice of all of his
friends he compelled the nomination
of a machine candidate, and this in
the face of the protest of the more than
l00, 900 voters who called upon Low over
their own signatures to make the race
for the Independent government of
Greater New York. Plat could not
brook the idea of finding the patronage
of the mayorality of that corporation
from the control of the state
machine. With mayor of his own
creation in Greater New York, he
would be omnipotent in the state.
The divisions of the Democratic party
ne knew and calculated upon. The di- |
visions of his own party he did not. |
he is fighting for the control of Great |
er New York, more than he is for the |
control of the next state legislature. |
His own seat is secure for the next five |
'ears and he is not worrying over that. |
But he understands that the control |
# the city is necessary to the control |
# the state. Let its patronage fall |
outside of any connection with or con-
rol by the state machine, and it DOM
mates to great extent the state legis-
alton. Its members fill almost a half
f the state assembly seats. It is this
hat Platt is fighting for, and which he
las, lost in so far as his success de-
'ends upon the election of Tracy. or
wen upon his polling a larger vote
han Low is going to poll. His second
move, is what no one can tell until he
makes it. He is a political boss of no
common order. He will probably con-
rive to fall on his feet, but he dare not
make any terms with Tammany. This
s the one thing that would kill him
md no one knows it better than Tom
'latt Another week will develop what
move there is for this willy and un,
machine manipulation on the
New York chessboard.
