CROKER IS ENCOURAGED.
But He Will Not Say Whether He
Is For BRYAN For President

ID VI VI Z.
New Yor.-. Nov. 1S.-At the Demo-
cratic club last night Richard Croker
was asked:
DO you think Mr.. Bryan will be
nominated for president next year?''
1T is a little too early to say who
will be nominated" he replied.
viii Tammany be for Bryan?" was
asked.
''Tammany will be for the nominee, =
Eaid Mr.. Croker. evasively
But" Mr.. Croker was reminded,
did not you. upon your return from
Europe, say you were for Bryan"
No" answered the Tammany chief
Il said Mr.. Bryan was a great man, a
great leader and an able Democrat I
think so vet. do not say that he will
be nominated, and l am not predicting
who will. 1t is too early.
Il think the Democratic party has a
great chance next year. l think that
the vote in Ohio shows that the people
there are opposed to the policy of Presi-
dent Mckinley. Every vote for Jones
and every vote for Mclean was a vote
against the administration, and the
joint vote far outweighed that of
Nash.
In Kentucky there were abnormal
conditions, but l think Kentucky can
be safely counted on next year to go
Democratic, just as,Ohio can, Mary
land vii! go Democratic, Think Mr.
Bryan made a sterling fight in his
state and showed his power there. and
1 think that Nebraska can be put in
the Democratic column next year. On
the whole the outlook is bright
While Mr.. Croker would not say so,
it is generally understood in political
circles that he is now with Bryan and
that the two are working together. 1t
is believed that the New York state
delegation will vote for Bryan in the
coming national convention and that
Mr.. Croker will have a prominent post
in the national campaign. 1t is even
said that he will have charge of the
eastern headquarters. Mr.. Croker
would not discuss this subject

are encountered.
Several errors were found in the re-
turns as far as canvassed. but the dis
crepancies tended only 10 increase the
maJorities of the successful candidates
for the municipal offices. Only one vote
was taken off the number credited to
Frank B. Stephens, Democratic candi-
date, who, by the unofficial count, has
a majority of about thirty over C. w.
Morse, his opponent for the city attor-
neyship. The defeated candidate ex-
poets to cut down the majority to
smaller figures when the returns from
other districts are counted today and

Irregularities Appear.

In the canvass made at the noon ses-
sion the only discrepancies found were
in the returns from the Third district.
the official count of which gave Ray
Naylor. recorder. 1872 votes instead of
161 and F. ]. Hewlett councilman, AS
in place of 154. In the latter case it
appeared to be a transportation of fig
ures, for there were only 145 TALES to
the candidates credit. With the re-
turns from the First district was a re-
port of the challenge TO Miss June Sad
ler's vote on the ground of non resi-
dence, the challenge being sustained
and her vote rejected.
The canvass of the Second districts
returns was passed pending the receipt
of an opinion from the city attorney
as to the boards right TO accept only
the tally sheet for the returns The
judges at this poll A. A. Duncan, A. o.
Miller and Joseph Thorup. committed
the blunder of depositing the poll book
and registration list with the sealed
ballots instead of sending them to the
board as part of the election returns.
The tally sheet from this district was
resealed and the envelope re-endorsed
to prevent the possibility of alteration
in the TALES and figures returned.
Before taking the recess the janitor
was ordered to start the clock 80 that
no fiction handed down from legisla-
tive assemblies would prevent the con-
vassers from getting their per diem for
each day of the convassing session.

Tangie Growing Out of Election Be-

Louisville, KY, Nov. 13.-The tangle
growing out of last weeks election
grows worse with each day. This was
the third day of the official count, but
the work of the county boards of can
vassers disclosed little information to
clear the situation. Chairman Long of
the Republican campaign committee to-
day repeated his claim of a plurality of
3,l11 for Taylor, based on official re-
turns from 10 counties and unofficial
returns from the remaining nine. The
Democratic papers and leaders here
have ceased TO give figures, but specials
from Frankfort quote Candidate Goebel
and other party leaders as saying they
are confident Of the success of the Ken
ton county man.
The completion of the returns to be
presented to the state board of election
commissioners when it meets at Frank
fort next month depends upon the de-
termination of the contests which are
being raised in several parts of the
state, notably the strongly Republican
counties of the Eleventh district, where
the Democrats claim tissue ballots were
used. These contests have aroused
much feeling in the localities affected.
One of them involves the vote of Knox
county, which gave Taylor 1888 plu-
rality.
