"TROUBLE IN THE BUSINESS"

At last we are beginning to get at the secret
Of the bitter war in the Democratic party over
the candidacy Of Mr.. Coler for Governor Rich
ard Croker with an outburst of that astOnish-
ing frankness which he sometimes displays,
has given the reason for his opposition to the
Controller His talk recalls the brutally frank
and cynical statement of his determination to
punish Justice Daily two years ago. Justice
DAILY" he said, was elected by Tammany
Hall, after he was discovered by Tammany
Hall, and Tammany Hall had a right TO expect
proper consideration at his hands" Concern
ing Mr.. Coler he asks: why, suppose you
were at the head of some business concern
"and some employe in the concern was making
trouble in the business. and people on the
outside came along and said you must keep
"him, what would you say to that"
Mr. Croker speaks in a parable, but literal
application of his words is inevitable in view
of his own confession that as head of the polti-
cal concern he works for his own pocket all
the time. The Controller has been making
trouble" He has interfered with "the busi-
ness of the concern of which Mr.. Croker is the
head, whereas as an "employe' OF that concern
he ought to promote the plans of its chief to
fill his own pockets all the time. Mr. Croker
does not concede that the Controller is the
"empIoye" of the city rather than of himself
owed an obligation to all the people higher
than his obligation to Tammany Hall. AS an
"empIoye" of the concern he owed complete
allegiance to it, according to the Croker theory,
and If the business of politics is really the
politics of business such allegiance of course
requires that the Controller make no trouble
in the business" whether political or financial
Mr.. Croker himself evidently knows what
everybo thinks OF his business and the
conclusions which everybody will draw con-
cerning the nature of the Controllers interfer-
ence with It, So he hastens to explain: Il
never asked him to do anything dishonorabIe
"in his office Go and ASK Coler what | ever
"said to him about his Department. | told him
"all I wanted was to have him run his Depart
"ment honestly. COler has no cause to attack
me" That is a direct challenge which shows
that Mr.. Croker has been touched at sensitive
| point II is matter of common talk that be-
hind the present hard feeling is the refusal of
the Controller to sanction scheme to draw
from the city treasury in connection with the
Board of Health building about $4,000 when
! $4,000 was all the city owed. Mr.. Croker was
| greatly interested in unloading this building
which had been purchased by him for the
Democratic Club, upon the city. 1t is also said
| that the Controller interfered with the business
of the Hon. Thomas F. Grady by prov0kingly
systematic examination of the validity OF town
bonds before certifying them as obligations of
| New-York City and thereby booming their
market value. Mr.. Croker may or may not
have found such acts interfering with his work
for his own pocket all the time. Perhaps II
was some other offence on the part of his "em-
New-York tribune., 1900-09-05

nIova" which made the trouble In the business.
Whatever it was, Mr.. Croker's challenge TO the
Controller to tell about IL should not be ignored.
perhaps Mr. Coler will think It good politics
to be silent till after the convention and leave
his employer a chance to support him in case
he should be nominated If defeated however
he owes 1t to himself and the men who proclaim
him specially vrtuous to tell waiting world
what it was he did to make trouble In the
business" So far as known he was regular
in politics and made no "kick" at the domina-
ton of the leaders; but he did have good deal
to say about looting the city treasury. Is this
the cause of Mr.. Croker's anger? Who tried 10
loot it. and how?
