 normal conditions and if Croker had made no public explanations or statements the Tamfnany candidates would probably have been elected, although the Catholic vote might have been enough to re-elect Daly. But the Tammany leader openly attacked the man he had turned down and frankly avowed that he had acted from political and personal reasons. In three days the bar association, which had also been aS- sailed by MT. Croker, was up in arms and opend a fight against the Tammany can- didates of the supreme court bench which at present seem strong as the fight the same lawyers made against Maynard in 1858. This move angerd the Tammany leader and he publicly denounced the bar as- sociation republican mugwump orr ganzation and advised the creation of q new association. One Tamany lawyer even made the attempt to start a rival associa- ticn, but the movement was a total fail- ure.
 Groker's Bad Politics
 Croker's best friends do not hesitate to say that his attack on the bar association was bad politics. While the leading men in that organization may be republicans or mugwump democrats, as CroKer charged it is a powerful institution in this city and the strongest evidence of its power and in- fluence is the fact that nearly every law yer who is not member of the associa- tion wants to be. Hill asailed the associa- ton in violent t erms in 1893, when it fought his candidate Maynard, but it was the work of the organization in that cam paign that defeated the democratic ticket and gave the republicans control of the constitutional convention. 'sh <'
 As a result of the Daily Incident JCroker has arrayed against himself and his can didates for the supreme court bench, the bar association, the Catholic church and such democrats as James c. Carter, w. B. Hornblower and Bourke Cochran. DAnse

democratic lawyers say they are going to vote for the democratic state ticket, but the local fight over Justice Daly will un- doubtedly injure the general ticket to some extent. The speech of Bourke Cockran in in which he told of Crokers great power in this city has aroused a small element of voters who fight blindly against bosses and party organization without being able to suggest a better system
 Condition in the City
 The condition in the city has so compli- cated the political situation as to leave the result in fog. rebellion against Croker and his rule has been threatened so many times without getting beyond idle talk that such threats are no longer taken seriously, but experienced politicians say that the uprising may come when least expected. The vote in the city will undoubtedly settle the result in the state. and if the Daily in- cident results in the loss of many votes to the democratic ticket the republicans ought to win. On the other hand the thousands of voters who do not recognize party lines at all times have not come out in the open for Roosevelt as his friends expected.
 A republican politician who has been ac- tive in state campaigns for dozen years today summed up the situation in these, words: 'f the great silent vote in the city, the balance of power, is for Roosevelt we shall win. If the voters divide on party lines in city and state we shall lose"
