all day by Tammany leaders. Office holders ana
workers 1t was the final round up. and every
one came in to report Tammany Hall was de
serted. and the scene Of activity was transferred
to the Democratic club. Mr.. Croker listened
intcntly to all suggestions and gave various
orders for the closing up Of the campaign He
said that he saw no reason To- alter the state
mcnt that he had already made that Tammany
would elect every Assemblyman in the county
with the possible exception of one. II was

his friends practically concede is the XNlst

Mr. Croker says that the Democrats haven't

the enthusiasm that the Republicans have up
the state. and with this condition aggravated
by Inrs treachery there is no chance for the
