DICTATION or CROKER
Charles n. BuIge~, of Oswego. spoke with even
more PIainress than Mr.. Hill about the dicta-
ton of Mr.. Croker that was bringing about the
nomination of Mr.. Stanchfeld. Mr.. Bulger bold
ly said that it could be suspected that a po-
litical trust was in process of formation to con-
troll absolutely the nominations of the Demo-
cratic party and deprive the Democratic voters
Of all power, even in the nominations of their
party. Mr.. Bulger declared he was a free
man." and he intended to remain a free man."
even if the penalty two years hence was his ex-
pusion from the Democratic State convention
by means of paper contest Finally Mr..
Bulger said ''All over the State there is a de-
mand for the nomination of independent
man here, that the puppet of boss shall not be
set up for Governor"
The fact was perceptible here this afternoon
that Mr.. Bulger's speech has given a distinct
impetus to the movement among the rural Dem
in New-York City. The argument is made that
the present Democratic organization in New
York is unrepresentative of the Democratic
voters there, and damaging to the interests Of
the Democratic party in the interior of the
State With two Democratic organizations in
New-York City in former years. it is pointed
out. the Democratic party had better success
in the State than when it dominated by
the chiefs of Tammany Hall of recent years. No
l,.D -I,i-
Democrats, was paid to rural Democratic sentt-
ment in the convention.
NOMINATIONS DECLINED.
Mr. Croker had difficulty in filing out his
State ticket after it plain that he would
defeat Mr. Coler. George NJ. Palmer. of Scho-
harie County could have had the nomination
for Attorney-G General, but declined it. Elliot B.
Norris of Wayne County. was placed on the
ticket as candidate for State Treasurer. but he
declined the nomination. and the name of John
B. Judson of Gloversville. Fulton County was
hurredly substituted for it. AS a whole the
ticket is not a strong one. and the remark was
frequently heard tonight that it was already
beaten.
a prominent Democrat said: The Democrat
who has permitted himself to be used to defeat
Bird S. Coler cannot be elected"
Senator Mackey, of Buffalo who was nomi-
mated for Lleutenant-GOVernOr, began his cam
paign to-day in a most infelicitous way by as
sailing certain men. whom he did not name
before the Erie County delegation, as men who
had killed his candidacy for Governor, while pre-
tending to be his friends. These men are to a
certainty we'll known in Buffalo and Senator
Mackey's attack upon them will not improve
his candidacy. In any case, the Buffalo Demo-
Gratis resent having had the votes OF their dele
gates cast for Tammany Halls candidate for
Governor. under the dictation of Norman E
Mack. the chief supporter OF Senator Mackey.
Nor will they like Senator Mackey's act in ac-
ceptiug nomination for Lieutenant Governor
at Mr.. Croker's hands, for there is no city in
the interior of the State where the Democratic
voters are much opposed to Tammany Hall
as in Buffalo.
Two of the candidates-Edward s. Atwater for
Controller, and Thomas F. Conway. for Attor-
ney-General-were beaten when candidates for
the same positions two years ago. John b. Jud-
son, the candidate for State Treasurer was also
beaten few years ago. when a candidate for
the same office. Russell r. Stuart the can
didate for State Engineer was beaten when a
candidate for the same office in 1895. The
