CROKER IN A NEW ROLE.
He Comes Cut Against Trusts and
MOnOpOiicS.


New York Feb 27.-Bennial sessions of
the legislature cheaper gas, cheaper tel
ephone rates, more stringent laws against
trusts and monopolies. reforms in the eX-
else laws.
Richard Croker yesterday laid down
this platform for Tanmany Hall in two
short speeches before the executive
committee which met at the Wiewam
on Fourteenth street.
The only absentee of Importance from
the meeting was John c. Sheehan. who
was represented by Councilman Good
win. After some unimportant routine
business Mr.. Croker took the floor.
II believe" he said that biennial
sessions of the legislature would he
good thing, and that the people favor
the change. l believe that a session
held every other year is sufficient to
give the people of the State all the neces-
sary legislation, an1 shas great expense
could he saved by changing from yearly
to biennial sessions"
Maurice Holohan moved that a vote
of the committee be taken upon the sub
ject. President Thomas l.. Feitner, Of
Whalen; Senators Bernard r Martin
Maurice Featherson and others made
speeches favoring biennial sessions. A
unanimous vote in favor Of them was
then taken
Mr. Croker then spoke again on the
duties of legislators. and Tammany legis-
lat0rs especially.
The county platform last fall. ne said
declared clearly ana forcibly for various
reforms II declared for cheaper gas
and cheaper telephone rates. 1t de
clared for reform in our excise law. and
II declared against the encroachment OF
trusts and monopolies on the rights of
the citizens
The greatest issue today said 1Ir.
Croker, lis not gold and silver; it is
how to curb the power of the trusts. "
Legislators of the minority from New
York city. he said ought not TO lose
sight of these facts.
THE people know, he said chow We
are hampered at Albany and how little
we do. but these questions should
be agitated. and we should do all we
can. The wealthy are accommodating
wealth faster than ever before. The
rich are becoming richer and the poor
poorer, because of the trusts and monop-
oies Curbiug the power of the trusts
is one of the cardinal principles of our
platform, and one which we must not lose
sight of for an instant"
MeSsrS. James j. Martin. George w
Plunkett and Augustus w Peters. the
committee appointed to investigate the
nght for the leadership in the annexed
district between Thomas II. Muligan
and Councilman Hyland, reported that
they had taken large amount of teSti-
mony and had more yet to come. They
will report at the next meeting which
will be held one week from next Satur-
