Tho question has been raised, whether the

In every Presidential election from 1850,
the first In which the Republican party. as such,
engaged. until that Of last year, tho city Of Now
York gave Democratic majority, o consider
able share Of the credit for that result being due
to the superior organization OF Tammany Hall.
The Democratic national ticket, with Tammany
Hall supporting It, has never. until last year,
been defeated In New York, and q powerful
cause Of that reverse was the growth in infu-
ence and efficiency Of the Republican organize
tion, which has now an enrolled membership of
moro than $4,000 In this city. In tho Twenty
seventh Assembly district, in one Of the election
districts, at tho last election, tho Bryan vote
was 2. In another 1t was 4. while In the Twenty
ninth Assembly district the Bryan vote in one

making rapid inroads since Tammany ceased to

sentient political organization.

KIondike and other Names.

The newspapers are printing, nowadays,
an unusual number of place names In
Alaska and the adjoining regions. Some
OF the most prominent names appear under
variety of spellings, for which, in most
cases, there Is really no good reason for
the orthography of Alaskan place names
has, in recent years, received much atten.
tion from our geographers. and especially
from our Government Board on Geographic
Names, which, in all our Government maps
and other publications at least, has brought
order out of the great confusion in Alaskan
nomenclature.
Mr.. GOODRICH Of our Geological Survey
party, which studied the Yukon gold fields
last year, has written to THE SUN that the
still unpublished report of the party gives
"Clondike" as the name of the river that
is now the centre of interest. When the
editor OF the Geological Survey documents
has the report ready for publication, 1t is
safe to say the name will not begin with a
capital G.. Klondike is the white mans
version OF an Indian expression and In the
hundreds OF Indian and foreign names In
Alaska and elsewhere upon whose spellings
the Board on Geographic Names has passed
since 1890, there is not one name In which
the letter has been used except to repre-.
sent the soft sound of that letter. The or.
Geographic rules of the board, printed on
page of its first report, say that In foreign
and aboriginal names &C is always soft
and has nearly the sound of S, as in
Celebes," and "K should always be used
for the hard c."
Some of our newspapers spell the name
klondyke," using "y" as vowel. This
IS entirely contrary to the precept and prac-
tIce OF all the leading geographical societies
and OF our board. In none of the spellings
OF tho hundreds of Indian names which
have in recent years been unified In our
Government publications has the letter Y
been employed as a vowel; and the rule of
the board says that "Y Is always a conso.
nant, as in yard. and therefore should not
be used for the vowel l."

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-Sir: Your re.

Hall arc TO the point and just. You have left
unmentioned, however, certain facts well known
TO those intimate with that organization, which
are important in Wow of Mr.. Crokers reported
intention Of returning to New York in the course
OF few weeks.
The feeling of the Tammany rank and fllc, and
even Of tho district leaders, toward Mr.. Croker
has changed totally during the last two years.
1t was not possible that he could abandon New
York and substantially expatriate himself with.
out overstraininR the loyalty Of the organiza.
tlon to him. Tho idea Of having Tammany man
aged from London Ia repulsive to Its devoted
members, and there are many such. It Ia not
merely that the country to which Mr.. Croker
has chosen to remove himself is not held in afrec
tion by them, but that, in full health and the
prime, Of life and strength, he. their leader.
He did not leave them in their prosperity,
Tammany Hail had been driven FRO from i power and
brought to him his wealth, or more strictly, had
helped him to the opportunities which had given
on his friends and went to London to hobnob
with Englishmen.

In the very face Of the enemy. His running
away from tho nre OF the last campaign was
especially exasperatng to them. When they
most needed help he left them to take care Of
themselves. to be revied and to be defeated.
Mr.. Croker's business associations with Whit
ney. Crimmins. and other gold Democrats OF the
rich corporations are also obnoxious to the great
majority OF the Tammany voters. He Is hand
thing against which they fought last year and
which they still distrust and oppose. Their war
cry is Down with trusts and monopolies, yet ho
is confederated with Tho money power" 1t is
Municipal ownership of franchises" yet he
represents the very corporations against which
circulated that Mr.. Croker, is coming back to
take charge OF the Tammany campaign, the
feeling aroused in it's rank and file is bitter; in
plain words 1t is ugly. They look upon such
suggestion as impertinent to the last degree.
How can Croker expect us to follow him after
his desertion of us last year " is the question
they are asking each other angrily.
agree with you, accordingly, that Mr.. Croker
can have no intention of visiting New York this
fall for tho purpose of undertaking to meddlc in
the Tammany campaign. II he comes back.
