CROKER SAYS HE'S PLEASED
NETWORK DEMOCRACY. HOWEVER,
WOULD HAVE PREFERRED HILL.
THINKS THE EX-SENATOR AND HIS
FRIENDS WILL WORK HARD FOR
THE PARTY-TAMMANY CHIEF
AT LONG BRANCH.

West End, Long Branch, n. J., July (Spe-
cial).-Richard Croker did not get far as
New-Ycrk on his return from the Kansas City
Convention to-day He reached Jersey City at
G a. n. and at once took a train for Long
Branch. in company with Dr. John B. Cosby
and ex-senator Murphy On his arrival here
the first thing he did was 10 go to st. Michaels
Roman Catholic Church for mass. Then he went
to Mr. Murphy's cottage at Elberon. In the
afternoon the three drove TO Deal Beach, where
Mr. Croker's son is spending the summer. They
returned TO the Murphy cottage at { p. m. and
Mr.. Croker there met a number Of newspaper
men. He was looking tired after his long jour
ney from Kansas City. and would not give an
extended interview. He said. among other
things:
The outlook for the National campaign prom
ises well The New York Democracy is satisfied
with the ticket. While we would have liked to
Mr.. Hill chosen for Bryan's running mate
yet we are content with Mr.. Stevenson. In my
opinion it makes little difference, anyway, what
State produces the man who holds second place
on tn eticket. Not 4 single Republican voter in
New-York State viii be influenced by such
consideration. The little breeze raised at Kan
sas City is all blown over. 1 believe, and Mr.
Hill and his friends viii work as hard for the
ticket as they ever did. New-YOrk City Demo
Gratis will work in thorough accord with the up
State end OF the party
Mr.. Croker was asked If he thought II would
be wise for Mr.. Bryan 10 make a stump cam
paign. especially in the East. The Tammany
chief replied that he did not know anything
about Mr.. Bryan's plans. nor what the candidate
intended TO do. He said this with manner and
expression which seemed 10 imply that he did
not care.
He was then asked if he thought the National
ticket would help carry New-York State for the
Democrats. Il don't know anything about the
State he replied but I answer for New
York City. II will give overwhelming ma
1oTity for all Democratic candidates who come
before the voters"
Being asked if he thought ex-senator Hill
would work hard for the State ticket
this fall he did in 1883, the Boss merely
grinned. gTimly shrugged his shoulders, and
grunted. He was then told that Senator Plum
kilt ani Commissioner Keller had said earlier
in the day that the Democratic candidate for
Governor would be an upstate man, and he
asked when the step had been decided upon.
Mr.. Croker declined to say anything this
point, putting il aside with wave of his hand
and chewing hard on his cigar. The next Ques-
tion was: is Commissioner Keller to be Tam
rnanys next candidate for Mayor" The Tam
many man replied: "Tammany is not making
mayors yet There is time enough for that
have nothing more 10 say tonight
Mr.. Croker viii stay here until Tuesday,
Senator Murphy said. and perhaps longer He
has plans for the summer, according 10 Mr.
Murphy, and does not know yet when he viii

FOR HIMSELF.
rnY rrtroRAr4 TO THE rn1BUHE.

Toledo. Ohio. July S-Something has Just
come to light in local political circles through
the medium of one or two well known good
Democrats that throws considerable lght on
the evident disposition of the Democrats OF the
IXth Congress District not to place candidate
In the field against James H Southard recently
renomnated by the Republicans. 1t has been
known for some time that while Colonel Bryan
here recently a secret conference was held
on the second floor OF the Boody House. but
what happened at that conference was jealously
guarded until the results of the Kansas CITY
Convention became known.
Bryan requested, it is asserted to meet few
of the controlling spirits of Democracy for a
conference. This is the plan, 1t s now claimed
on apparently good authority, that he outlined.
His first request was that the Democrats of the
IXth District either let their nomination go by
default announce that no convention would
be held. He had understood on good authority
that Mayor Samuel NJ Jones would be an indie
pendent candidate. and it is a fact that many
petitions are now being circulated in his behalf
He also knew that Mayor Jones had ex
pressed himself as against Mckinley politically.
He thought, If no nomination to be made
the majority of the Democrats would support
Jones for Congress, and that. with the inde-
pendent element in this district which sup
ported Jones's gubernatorial candidacy. the
famous Golden Rule disciple could be easily
elected to Congress
But that was only an entering wedge for
the subsequent proposition he had to make
He believed that the feeling Of reciprocity over
the State would be so pronounced by such a
move that a greater part Of the hundred thou
sand votes cast for Jones in the recent
gubernatorial election would go to the Demo
cratic National nominee, thereby swinging a
sufficient combined vote to insure the election
Of the Democratic candidates for Presidential
Electors in Ohio
It is asserted that he quite determined
in this idea, and insisted that it be carried out
as he did not believe the Democrats would vote
for Southland in preference to Jones. and he felt
assured that this move would insure him the
support of the Jones forces over the State. The
several possibilities who being carefully
groomed for the Congress convention have
quietly withdrawn, and there many things
which give credibility TO this statement, which
comes from most excellent sources.
