REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

We looked in upon the Republican
convention in Raleigh yesterday.
While not near 50 large. nor SO i'm
pressire in manner and personnel as
the Democratic convention few
weeks before, it was respectable,
intelligent looking body OF men and
was in marked contrast to Republican
conventions heretofore.
The absence Of negroes was per-
haps the most striking feature OF the
whole thing There were only Is
negroes in the entire delegation, nor
was he there intruding himself in
large numbers as mere spectator.
The word had gone forth for negroes
to stay away from the convention
and they did so. There was a show
OF kicking to be sure but the order
was obeyed for all that.
And when it came to making out
the ticket and passing around the
"honors" such as delegate to the ma
tional convention and the like, the
negro got severely left. Plummer

State Executive Committee, but Plum

INCIDENTS OF THE CEREMONY
MAYORS QUEER USE OF HIS
SILK HAT

While Mayor Van Wyck lent touch of buff
foonery to the otherwise dignif1ed ceremony of
breaking ground for the tunnel by dumping the
first shoveful Of earth into mis- silk hat carry
ing the sol! away u souvenir, and locking it
up in jar in his safe. there were several
rious drawbacks 10 the days success caused
by the inability or neglect of Chairman Wise
and his municipal committee provide proper
accommodations for the invited guests. Only a
few of these were able to see the ceremony at
ALL while others witnessed it at the cost of
much unnecessary discomfort. The wife Of
John B. Mcdonald, for instance damned
in between quartet of cigar putting Tammany
heelers and Walter G. Oakman and some other
members Of the Rapid Transit Subway Con-
struction Company were unable to get out of
the City Hall at all while the ceremony was in
progress.
The absence of ex-Nayor Hewitt, the Father
OF Rapid Transit" was commented on freely by
many present, who said that he ought to have
been one of the most honored guests of the day.
He and other ex-Mayors were totally forgotten
in the first distribution of invitations and it
only when the newspapers called attention
to the neglect that cards were reluctantly sent
them. Eight thousand of these had been issued
and sprinkled plentifully among the friends of
the Tammany Aldermen and Councilmen, and
apparently card admitted whole party in
hundreds of
Mr.. Wise, in his efforts to make himself con-
spicuous, insisted on formally introducing the
Mayor in a speech to the haIf-hundred men
who were able to hear His Honor and who knew
him pretty well anyway. Mr.. Wise also intro
duced Mr.. Orr and Mr.. Coler. Wise also showed
his wisdom by ordering the police TO allow the
vast crowd that was pressing forward for
sight to advance within the space marked off
by the fiuted columns that had been set up
the City Hall plaza. The crowd swept three
or four of these columns from the pedestals in
moment, and then the police had long, hard
fight TO push the people bacK again.
The crowd outside the space marked Off for
invited guests was immense. Some estimated
fl at fully twenty thousand. Men women and
children of all ages and sizes composed IT, They
filled the walks frayersing the park TO saffoca-
ton, and spread out In Broadway, Mai-st
and Park Row in such numbers that the street
cars and mail wagons with difficulty made their
way along without running the people down
One thousand policemen, under the command OF
Deputy Chief Cortright, lined the park boun-
diaries and formed themselves into human walls
to keep the crowd from ovsrrunninx the suot

through all the years that we have toiled for this
have been learning something. We have learned
the lesson that a great municipality should never
relinQUsh ownership and control of public property
that may be developed a profitable investment.
We paying now almost N5,oO00oo a year for
legislative consolidation or. in other words for the
and population. The building of this railroad
will be the beginning of vast system OF rapid
transit that in few years viii extend to every
Greater New-York in fact well as in name.
The plan of great underground system OF rapid
transit was Swallowed at Its Inception by the fear
that its enormous cost would prove prohibitory
obstacle, and it with apprehension the subject
was approached by those whose duty 1t was TO
solve It.
1t was successfully disposed of by financial ar
rangement under which the city will become the
those in attendance here to-day, and without call
ing upon the taxpayers for cent.
from The proposed Ramapo water contract BY
this the city will at the end of fifty years own
a railroad worth more than S35,0O0coO without the
outlay of dollar; while at the end of fifty years
under the proposed Ramapo water contract the
city would have owned nothing at cost of more
than s200,0000o0.
THE ONE INDISPENSABLE THING.
relative to the city's debt limit the one in
dspensable thing to this enterprise, that alone
made 1t possible to effect the temporary loan of the
city's credit TO the amount needed for the com
pleton of this work By the of the
tract the financial difficulties have been disposed
of, and the entire cost of construction falls upon
the contractor, whose good faith and responsibility
are thoroughly guaranteed to the city.
The practical solution of this rapid transit prob
Der who interested in the great question of
municipal ownership, and will go far to strengthen
their faith in its ultimate triumph
The continuation and extension of this system of
fnanciering municipal ownership not alone of
rapid transit and of docks but Of other income pay
ing Improvements, will make New-York the rich
est and greatest city the world.

AS COMPARED WITH OTHER CROWDS

The appearances from the windows of The
Tribune office OF the various crowds that as
semble from time to time for one purpose or an
other in the City Hall Park are always occa-
sions of comment and comparison. The crowd
of yesterday good sized one. but not
phenomenal. The reason is simple. There was
nothing for the crowd TO except the decora-
tons A few of those who nearest could
probably got a glimpse Of a little of the cere-
mony but the rest could see nothing al all
The largest crowd gathered in the CITY Han
Park in recent years. without any doubt was
that which watched the bulletins on the ST
Patrick's Day when Corbett and Fitzsimmons
strove together in Carson City. Next to that
was the crowd New Years Eve lS9l-,hat
is the eve OF the Columbian year-when GA

Presidential elections always call out buea
crowds, and then come the ordinary run of NOR.
or less Interesting occasions.
The crowd of yesterday was, OF course m.ss.,
in front of the City Hall. whereas il is usuau,
densest before the newspaper offices and a.,
transfer of centre of gravity made the connarI
son of its size with that of other crowds a it,
difficult. In other respects II did not seen, =.
