a CORRESPONDENT OF the chicago jour


nal figures it out in this way:
Carter H. Harrison is coming to be
regarded as a very smooth politician
The latest testimonial to his intellect
consists in the fact, which 1 have on
pretty good authority, that he has de-
clined to cast his lot with Richard
Croker of New York. The latter has
been trying to arrange things that
he could use the Illinois Democracy to
secure a standing in the next national
convention for New York and Tam
many To this end he has been giving
Chicago's mayor "a long line of jolly"
But Harrison knows a game worth two
of Cookers To give Croker the E'go-
by" back Bryan for presidential candi-
date, and when Bryan is defeated by
Mckinley, as Mr.. Harrison figures that
he will be. be in line himself for the
next presidential election: and while
carrying out this programme he can
be amusing himself by running for
governor and watching the rest of the
Democrats figuring out a new platform
for the party and getting together on
a winning issue. This seems to be
about the way the thing looks to Chi
Cages hereditary mayor. And not so
bad at that.
