J. M. THOMAS.

It will be noted that upon the main ticket but six Republican candidates have been in dorsed namely Wells for Auditor, Truman for Treasurer, Drinkhouse for Public Administrator. Siebe for Assessor Hawkins for Coroner and Webster for Superintendent of Schools. Ex- cept Siebe none of these officials control patron age. The Auditor appoints four or five clerks the Treasurer about the number while the Superin- tendent of Schools Public Administrator and Cor oner are ciphers in the spells department of politics When it is considered that the indorsement of Siebe was not according to programme, and that the Dem ocratic jobbers among the Non-Partisans eXerted all their strength only to defeat him, but to take him off the ticket after ndorsement, 1t will be that the original plans of Phelan and Sullivan con tcmplated scooping in the entire City Hall.
 As it is, the Mayor and his brother-in-law have secured the Sheriff, with ninety-ive deputies the Tax Collector, with thirty the County Clerk, with eighty-fve; the Superintendent of Streets, with six teen and an army of inspectors; the Recorder with about thirty the civil and criminal law departments with their retinue of lawyers, and nine Supervisors with the veto power and the vast amount of patron age controlled by that body
 Is any further proof necessary establish the fact that the Non-Partisan "convention" a Demo cratic sideshow and that its ticket has become tail to Mayor Phelan's kite? What have the Re publicans in this unholy alliance to offer for permit ting the Mayor to pull their legs in this manner? Take George L. Center for illustration. What is he going to get for attempting to deliver Republican nOn-partisan votes to the ofCe-seekers of Phelans machine? II his reward shall be commensurate with his party treachery and the service he has rendered Phean in the Non-Partsan convention, he should in case the plot succeeds get least dozen depu- ties at the City Hall.

HILL OR CROKER.

I JUDGING from the comments of the New oI York press. popular interest in the Dem O ocratic State Convention at Syracuse was due almost wholly the evidence it gave oi the relative importance in the party of the rival chieains, Hill and Croker No expects the ticket to win, but every is studying it to whether it IS a Hill ticket or a Croker ticket.
 It is conceded that the nominee for Governor Judge Van Wyck, is Crokers man, and that Hill op- posed the nomination as long as he could. On the other hand 1t asserted that in order obtain the head of the ticket Croker had to surrender to Hill very nearly everything else and 1t Is stated that with the exception of the candidate for State Engineer who IS the property, 1t were, of Senator Murphy all the rest of the ticket is Hills. It appears more over that the wind up of the convention Hill man. aged to get a majority of the State Committee, and thus has control of the party machinery. On this showing there exists wide difference of opinion to which boss carried off the larger share of the spells. It is claimed by that in getting the nomination for Governor Croker obtained the oyster and left Hill the shell; but others maintain 1t was a Hill convention throughout and that the head of the ticket given to the Tammany simply because Hill knew Democrat eau be elected Governor of New York this year, and therefore he was not eager to put up of his friends for the place.
 From this distance 1t appears the latter view of the situation IS correct Undoubtedly Ii Van WyCk should be elected Croker will have the better part of the bar gain. With of his supporters holding the office of Mayor Of New York City and another as Governor of the State the Tammany boss could run things very much in his way and Hill's friends at the head of the Democratic machine would have to stand in and be thankful for small patronage If, however Van Wyck should be defeated Croker will have noth- ing and Hill will be in position to the machn- cry of the party for his advantage in 1000 It is not at all improbable that Hill is much concerned about the campaign of 1900 than about the present one He might proftably have conceded to Tammany the whole State ticket this year in change for the State Committee and control of the party machinery. Bryansm is rapidly fading issue and with sweeping Republican victory this fall it will cease be potent factor in politics Dem ocracy will then have to look for leader in the Presidential fight If Hill has control of New York at that time his position will be sufficiently elevated to attract Presidential lightning about convention time and it was, perhaps. that consideration which led him to avoid finish fight with Croker this year

CHARLES L. PATToN's CAMPAIGN

l HEN the Republican party demanded that \AI Charles L. Patton become its candidate for
 Mayor, the leaders of the organization were certain they making mistake. Every pass ing day emphasizes the soundness of their judgment
 MT. Patton not aspirant. He accepted the nomination at sacrifice but, having accepted 1t, he brought into the fight the qualities which have carried him to success in business life. Honest energetic and enterprsing, with no personal ambi- ton gratiiy factions to appease, desire to be dictator, he entered the struggle unhandcapped to win on his merits alone He Is unpedged to the principles of the platform. He IS untrammeled, has political record to explain away, machine made Committee of One Hundred through which to operate. He stands before the people as indi- vidual, representative citizen, only find he has friends than he had hoped.
 There are circumstances aside from the inherent merit of Pattons candidacy which are throwing to it unexpected support The fact is being impressed upon voters that the present Mayor has cunnngly devised a system making him unchecked boss, em- powered to select every appearing the ticket with his own. It IS known that the present School Board, possibly the worst disgracing the city, represents the personal choice of the Mayor that the Supervisors many of them rascals most of them be- smirched with absolute scandal, such Phean desired to have n office part o his local scheme of government. The Widber theft, made possible
  coin, is to him painfully obtrusive just the penitentiary doors seem about to swing to let Wid- Der in
 Then the non-compos- s-mentis- -Partsans outfit has aided Patton and the whole Republican ticket by first showing itself to be Phelan sideshow with no intent beyond doing the Mayors bidding, and then doing it. Its pretense is mockery palpable to be laugh able or irritating, according to the point of view
 From the first Patton has showed himself to have a high sense of honor, H. refused to accept the nomination until the platform had been made his opponent having accepted two nominations in the absence of any platform Mr Patton stands for prin- ciple Against him Is whom office and power have proved sweet, and who, having in the of reform created a remorseless machine, has in the of purity taken counsel of degenerate booders
 As the Republican candidate moves among the peo- pie his popularity increases His is an individuality commanding respect. He is frank, affabe, and yet firm He has in large degree the quality of mag netism. He has the advantage of large frame Tn mind, in body. there is nothing small about him.
 Unless for something wholly unforeseen, Charles L. Patton will be the Mayor. He has only to go forward in the manly way which has thus far characterized his relying ability, his free dom from alliances and certain that the mistakes Of Phean and his adherents grave and too recent to be overlooked will be no inconsderable aid
