CROKER DIRECTING FIGHT.

USING MURPHY AS FIGUREHEAD. PERHAPS
WITH ULTERIoR PURPOSE.
Saratoga. N. Y. Sept 9 (speciar-The Society
for the Promotion of Trouble is working over
time here. 1t is hopeful of excellent results,
despite the efforts of a few misguided individ-
uals to bring about compromise peace and har-
mony. But fortunately these persons are, so
far, In minority, and the dogs'o war are still
running loose. The Tammany men shout
Down with Hill and Coler."
And the anti-Tammany men wave the Coler
banner aloft and yell back:
I'VE never surrender"
Richard Croker is here directing the fight
against Hill and Coler Nominally ex-senator
Murphy is commander of the anti-Hill forces.
but the grim, determined Tammany chief is the
actual director and supervisor. He seems very
well satisfied, too. with the situation A ma
jority Of the delegates are at his beck and call,
and we'll he knows that the other fellows can
not do more than fuss and fume and raise some
dust. They must take al the Convention what
ever medicine he prescrbes for them.
But after the Convention. Ah there's the
rub. Some cautious Tammany men believe that
Hill never really had any expectation of nom
mating Coler. and that the Controller himself
deliberately made his nomination impossible by
his thinly yelled. but none the less bitter, at
TACK on Croker. THESE people argue thaC Hill
long ago perceived the hopelessness of carrying
New-York State this year for the Democratic
ticket, that he desired to unload on the Tam
many leader the responsibility for defeat. and,
finally that he planned the Coler crusade so as
to have Tammany make martyr of the Con-
troller and thus sweep him into the office of
Mayor of New-York.
That view has been put before Mr.. Croker.
How much how little of it he believes it Is
difficult to say. because, just now, he is not do
ing much talking for publication. 1t may or
may not, however, De significant that he is more
than willing to have Mr.. Murphy assume all
the honor and glory-and incidentally the re-
sponsblty-of directing the Convention which
meets here neXt Tuesday.
Ex-senator Hill is expected here tomorrow.
His ieutenants the ground declare that he
will stick Coler until the roll is closed and
that he will make a fight in the Convention
which won't be forgotten in many moons There
is no telling what may happen after the eagle Of
Wolfert'S RooSt gets here.
Among the possibilties-not probabilities
that would surprise people here would be the
patching UP OF a peace between himself and
Croker The latest indications all favor fight
or blood. with no quarter given or asked. In
the interest of pure sport and good newspaper
stories, it is to be hoped that there will be no
disappointment in this respect.

CANDIDACY OF sTANCHF1ELD.
IN A RECEPTIVE ATTITUDE-HOw MUCH
HE HAS TO FEAR HIS FRIENDS

HE HAS TO FEAR HIS FRIENDS.
Saratoga, n. Y Sept. o (speciaD.-The can
didacy of John B. Stanchfield, Of Elmira, for
Governor was developed rapidly to-day. EX-
Judge S. s. Taylor OF Elmira. who is the chair
man of the Chemung County delegation. arrived
here in company with George S. Robinson, the
chairman of the Democratic committee of that
county, and the other delegates of the county,
and spoke everywhere in favor OF Mr.. Stanch-
field Ex-Judge Taylor for years has been
David B. Hills chief lieutenant in Chemung
County, and it cannot but be suspected that Mr..
Hill does not frown upon Mr.. Stanchfelds can
didacy, although himself supporting Mr.. Coler
for Governor.
Two years ago Mr.. Stanchfield of two
or three candidates in the interior of the State
who were seeking the Democratic nomination
for Governor. Up till - o'clock on the night
before the Convention was to make it's nomi-
nation Mr. StanchfeId's friends believed he
would receive the nomination. Mr.. Croker and
Mr. Murphy, however, were deceiving Mr.
Stanchfeld, having long before decided to NOM
mate Augustus Van Wyck which they did ten
hours later.
Mr.. Stanchhelds friends. therefore. cannot
feel at all confident now that he will be nomi-
mated. in view of their experience of two years
ago. Yet they do feel considerable hope. be-
cause nearly every prominent Democrat they
meet here predicts Mr.. Stanchfelds nomina-
tion Plainly, he is the most prominent candi-
date to-day. Ex-Judge Taylor said regarding
Mr.. Stanchfelds candidacy:
Mr. Stanchfield is not candidate in the sense
that he is seeking the nomination, but he would
accept 1t If it should come to him. We of Che
mung County and other Southern Tier counties
believe that he is the strongest man that could
be nominated for Governor. He would not be
the candidate of any faction of the Democratic
party. We hope that the delegates unite
upon him and We believe that If they do he
will be elected. Mr.. Stanchfield has had most
honorable career a distinguished lawyer of
Elmjra and the Democratic leader in the
Assembly. His acquaintance all over the State
is large, and everywhere he is highly esteemed
He would be considered, think. especially
a candidate Of the young men Of the State. In
the Southern Tier counties he Is thoroughly well
liked, and I believe he would receive far more
than the usual Democratic vote there.
1t is said that Mr.. stanchfeld's candidacy has
especially the support of Hugh Mclaughlin. of
