The great mass of democrats of our State

fitted for the office OF chief executive. The
bolt against him which has been so loudly
proclaimed is largely on paper AT the
outside, Ex-Governor Brown, who will run
as the choice of the boilers, will not get
over 10000 votes. This was the strength
OF the gold democrats in 1897 when Shack
elford, regular nominee OF the democratic
party for clerk of the court of appeals, won

by this plurality at least, although the
chances are that the figures will be still

Richard Croker, covered in a New York
dispatch yesterday: ''If 1t is true" said
the governor, "that Mr.. Croker really fav-
ors the nomination Of Mr.. Bryan, Tam
many certainly will follow him and there
will be practically no opposition to Mr.
Bryan In the convention. The hearty
cheers which greeted Governor Hogg's
speech in New York on the Fourth of July
would rather indicate that Mr.. Bryan is
not lacking supporters in the Tammany
organization. With Tammany supporting
him there will be but very little opposition
in the East to Mr.. Bryan.
"a statement has been made and pur-
porting to come from Mr.. Croker to the
effect that what he said complimentary to
Mr.. Bryan was not intended as an indorse-
ment OF his candidacy for the presidency,
but merely for the purpose of paying tr-
butte to a deserving public man. Still, 1t
may be that Mr.. Croker sincerely thinks

After reading the reports of the inter-
views with Ar. Croker" said Governor
Stone last night, II can not see that he has
made any announcement which is surpris-
ing. / do not read in his utterances that
he will support Mr. Bryan, although the
interviews give the impression, upon casual
reading, that he IS in favor of Mr. Bryan
and no one else for the democratic nomi-
nee for president.
IF, however. Mr.. Croker had come out
fat footed for Mr., Bryan, l am as graft
fed as l am surprised. | presumed. from
what have read in the newspapers. that
Mr.. Croker favored change in that part
of the Chicago platform which ,clates to
the free coinage of silver. II he has
changed his views on this, or was incor-
rectly reported, and Will support MIR. Bry-
an. then Mr.. Croker and his influence will
be of great benefit to tho party.
Il do not believe that Mr.. Croker was
ever in favor of expansion; thei efore his
views on the subject are not surprising.
But am glad he has announced that the
democratic party must declare against i'm
perialism and trusts. Mr.. Cookers assur-
ances that democracy VIII triumph must
encourage every democrat, for he IS man
whose opinions are valuable. Mr.. Croker
does not express an opinion ON anything
until he has given the subject thought
1T is good to hear pleasant words about
your friends, and | was much pleased to
know Mr.. Croker had said of Mr.. Bryan
that his strength is with The plain people.
If Mr.. Croker believes that Mr.. Bryan is
closer TO the American people than any
other man, it looks as though ne would
support him, and l sincerely hope he will
do So

NEGRO QUESTION INJECTED.

A Novel Issue in fhc Senatorial Race
I'm SirEinin.
Especial to The Post)
Richmond Va, August 15.--The negro
question is to be a factor in the fight for
United States senator. A demand will be
made for the retirement of all negroes,
several of whom are employed in the diff
ferent State departments as janitors, that
their places may be filled by white DEM
ocrats The demand has already been
made on Judge Lamb OF the chancery
court, who is to be reelected this year,
and has already given out that under no
circumstances will he yield to this de-
mand, not even II his position depends
upon his refusal. The fight is on now,
and some highly interesting racial ques-
tio.s will probably be the outcome.
