Judge Earl some Democrat like him. There
have been hints for several days of a COM

doubt true that x-Governor Stone Of Mis-

Bryan himself have been laboring hard to unite
the Guarrelling Democratic leaders OF New
York State upon some one candidate that could
receive the vote OF every man in the Demo-
cratic party. and possibly attract some indie
pendent votes. II the quarreIling continues the
Democratic National leaders plainly that
the State is lost to Bryan as well as 70 the
Democratic candidates for State offices. That
they have been concerning themselves about
the nominations for State offices here is well
known
Mr. Hill. it is stated. has assured the Demo
cratic National leaders that he is anxious to
bring about the nomination OF strong Demo
crat for Governor, believing this will be a pro-
pitious year for the Democratic party to carry
the State State issues. The Democratic Ma

THE ATTITUDE OF CROKER.
Would Richard Croker accept Judge Earl as
ha compromise candidate? Prominent Democrats
were asking that question here to- night. Sen
hator Grady tonight said: Il do not know. There
iss this to be said, however. that Judge Earl is
highly worthy man. I never have believed that
Mr. Hill truly favored Mr.. Coler's nomination
kbut have thought that Elliot Danforth was his
strue candidate. and that he would bring for
ward Mr. DaufoTth at opportune moment
tMr Croker Mr. Murphy and his friends abso-
s1utely control the Democratic State Convention,
nnow, and will be able to name the candidate"
DO you believe that Senator William F.
t&ackey. OF Buffalo. will receive the nomination
sSor Governor"
I would not like TO say that. for do not know
I ] will say is that Senator Mackey has over one
hundred delegates at his back in the interior Of
the State. and John B. Stanchheld only about
me Senator Mackey. having the most votes. will
have the best chance of obtaining the nomina-
fzion.
:. Would Senator Mackey take second place on
sShe ticket?"
He would not I asked him about that by
telephone while he was in Buffalo yesterday,
and he told me he would not accept the nom-
nation for Lieutenant-Governor.
Richard Croker, it is believed here, con-
larols beyond all question DDS votes in the Con-

He also would be able to break into Mr.. Hills
lines at various points the latters friends fear.
Great is the effect Of patronage, the patronage
of Tammany Hall when offered to upstate
Democrats with itch for Office. There is al
ready talk here about candidates for minor
positions the Democratic State ticket. Ed
ward G. Atwater Of Poughkeepse. who the
Democratic candidate for Controller two years
ago, II is suspected has Mr. Crokers support
cnce more for that place. Congressman Martin
iGlynn. of Albany, also is candidate for that
office.
George NJ Palmer, Of Schoharie County is a
candidate for the Democratic nomination for
Attorney General. Edward c. Rowe, Of Troy, II
IS said may be named for Lieutenant Governor.
