The Republican women finished up their

Mclaughlin Democrats say Croker Handi-
caps Van wyok.

NNFk NNh WYNN
The Mclaughlin pot called the Croker kettle
black yesterday in the main Democratic kitchen
In Willoughby street. Brooklyn. Democrats
who are received at court by Hugh McLauEh-
lin are anxious to have the Democratic candi-
date for Governor elected. They have been
doing their best TO further his candidature at
home in order to give proof Of their loyalty.
They met Yesterday IN McBaughlin's prlvate
room In the rear OF Tom Kerrigan's auction
establishment to talk overthe campaign. They
were far from enthusiastic over the outlook.
II their worst fears are realized they will not
hesitate to place the blame on Croker and
Tammany Hall.
There was much criticism among the lieu
tenants OF Boss Mclaughlin over the attitude
oil the Tammany boss in making himself SO
prominent in the campaign.
There was a time not so many years ago."
said one OF the Democratic sub-bosses, when
Croker knew enough TO keep his mouth shut.
Since he became rich and got ambitious socially.
he has foolishly issued statements and given
out authorized interviews'i In each campaign.
This year he has carried the thing to such a
point as to leave no doubt in the minds OF even
those who have tried not to zee It that he is the
boss OF the State Democracy and prepared to
take any credit that may come with the re-
turns. Van Wyck has been handicapped by
Croker. Everybody knows we have been sadly
hampered by the uncalled-for and inopportune
Endorsements OF the candidate by Croker.
Croker seems to have been caught In n
Republican trap. for he has not hesitated
to reply to everything. And in each
and every reply he has dragged the
Democratic candidate in so that no one could
fail to see that the New York boss claims
credit for our candidate. The result has
been that Judge Van Wyck has had to carry
not only himself and the record Of the Demo-
cratic party on silver. but the record of Croker
and Tammany as an additional handicap. II
Van Wyck is not elected there will be a little
attention paid to the Croker issue by Demo-
Gratis on this side Of the river.
The strangest thing about It is that. while
many prominent Democrats have felt that
Cookers TRADES were doing harm. there is not
one among them who has had the nerve to 60
and tell him SO. Consequently. the campaign
winds up with Croker more in evidence than
Mr.. Van Wyck, and IL defeat comes 1t will be
credited to Croker by the friends OF Mr.. Van
Wyck."

PROSPECTS IN CALIFORNIA.
Republicans Will Elect Five Congressmen
and Think Their State Ticket Is Safe.

oNto.
SAN Francisco. Nov. 7.-California is q noto-
riously uncertain State In politics. and this
year is no exception to the rule. Good Repub-
lican experts say the State will be for Gage by
$4,000. while the Democrats claim 1t for Nc
Guire by 10000. Tho Republican Central
Committee estimates that Gage will carry Ala
media county by 1000 majority: Los Angeles
county by $500; that he will cross the Tehi-
chipa line with q majority OF 5000: will have
! ZOO majority In Humboldt. and a good work
ing majority in other northern counties.
Should Mcclure carry San Francisco by 5000,
a. his friends say. he will, Gage will still have
u handsome margin.
McGuire''s hackers are counting on the bitter
hostility Of the interior counties to the South
ern Pacific Company, McGuire's campaign has
been made almost wholly on the single point
publican officials. This has had n great effect.
The Republicans will elect five congressman
II Is conceded now that the only two districts
in doubt are the Second and Fourth, and In
these the Democrats are, pretty sure to win.
Devries Dem. is regarded as certain TO win in
the Second; and James H. Barry Dem. is ac-
knnwledged TO have julius Kahn rep beaten
in the Fourth district. From the southern dis
tricts the latest returns show that the Repub-
Leans will win, easily In the Sixth and Seventh
districts, which a week ago were regarded as
doubtful.

Out in Manila the Americans are looking as
~joyously to the prospect Of Col. Roosevelt's
election as Governor Of New York as righteous
Americans are at home. This was shown in
a letter received here yesterday morning by
Elisha K. Camp Of IL Broadway. who last year
was q candidate for q Judgeship on the Re-
publican city ticket. 1t was only an Incidental
paragraph in q personal letter. and therefore
has all the more force as an indication OF the
feelings OF the volunteer citizen soldiers who
are serving their country there.
The letter was from William E. Hills. who,
prior to his enlistment. in the Astor Battery.
was a lawyer in the Equitable building. He is
now a CORPORAL in the service. His letter is
dated: Headquarters. Aston Battery. Manila.
Philippines" 1t was written on Oct. g.. Mr..
Hills says:
Have heard that Roosevelt has been nomi-
mated for Governor, Hurrah for Teddy!
Our men are allowed to vote. and he will
get As out OF AZ votes.
And il may be that the vote will be unani-
nous. as the other three men are waiting to
see whom the Democrats nominate.

There are two men full of confidence In the
Fifth Assembly district this morning. These
two men are Bernard +. Martin, the Tammany
Hall district leader. and Leo Hangen. proprie-
tor Of the Germania Theatre. who is backing
the Tammany Hall candidate for Assembly
man, Frederick L. Drescher. to win. The rea-
son OF the confidence OF these two Tammany
Hall statesmen is this:
Bernard F. Martin has been making an
oratorical campaign in the Fifth. He has been.
and for the first time. explaining on the stump
to all the voters who heard him the issues OF
the day thonest money. an incorruptible and
independent judiciary and an honest Cleo

commissioner Ernest Harvier. who said yes
terday that Martins man was already beaten
IN the district and would fall behind several
hundred. and that the opposition to him would
probably have the effect OF carrying down other
names on the ticket in the Fifth district.
