CROKER FEARS "MILITARIsM."
ELECTION OF BRYAN THE ONLY THING THAT
WILL KEEP THE BOSS FROM BEING
JosTLED INTO THE GUTTER
BY ARMY OFFICERS

The Weekly Union" publishes this week a con.
Versaton which its editor, Dr. James w o Brten
had with Richard Croker at the Democratic Club
on recent evening. The talk enlarges upon the
views which the Tammany leader expressed upon
his return from Europe in interviews published in
The Tribune and other newspapers. particularly in
regard 10 imperialism and the Eastern question
Among the things Mr.. Croker is quoted as saying
in the talk are the following:
Blood and slaughter made no converts. If We
go around the world killing every one who does
not accept our language religion we will
nave our hands full. Imperialism and nilitarisrn
is the root OF all these perils. If you have q big
army you must use It, and If you wish conquests
ana elect military heroes to rush things with a
hurfah the American people will have 10 pay dearly
The remedy is 10 strangle jingoism now, before
Il gets out OF its cradle; 1t is monster that will
otherwise grow strong enough strange the lib
critics and the institutions of this Republic and
spread ruin IN its path, II has done in the
history Of the world. And the only way to rescue
the country from these dangers is TO elect William
Jennings Bryan, who has statesmanlike and sound
patriotic views on all these matters.
Mr.. Croker, according &c this interviewer spoke
with great trepidation Of the prospect of keeping
an army Of 100000 III China after this country
had got Its share in the partition of the Celestial
Empire and conJured up a vision of American
young men performing enforced military service as
they do in Germany, in of the election of Nc

able however that the Democratic National
Committee win refuse to take any responsibility
in the matter, the ground that IL is a subject
for the Convention and not the committee 70
consider.
The desire Of the Populists and Silver Repub-
icans TO secure the nomination Of TOwne recalls
q similar proceeding at the Populist convention
in ST Louis in 1896. II was known that Bryan
was to be nominated by the Populists for Presi-
dent having already been named by the Demo
Gratis and there was a strong effort made to
have SewaIl, the Vice-Presdential candidate,
also nominated. Such leading Democrats as
Senator Jones, chairman of the National Com
mittee and William ]. Stone, member of the

Populists. aided by the Silver Republicans are
endeavoring to have their candidate for Vice
President nominated by the Democrats:
Il is argued that Towne's name would serve

Just al a time when there is disposition in
some quarters to leave the Endorsement OF silver

Upon the other hand, IN trying TO conciliate
the Eastern Democrats the money question,

whose silver views are not radical should be
selected. even Il Mr.. Towne is being pressed by
the Popusts and silver Republicans who are

Approval Of statements made by Abram s
Hewitt in the interview published in The Tribune
yesterday have been expressed by several promi-
nent Gold Democrats Of the city. They have de-
clared that support of Bryan cannot be thought of
by Democrats who repudiated his financial views
four years ago. Several of them have declared
that they do not favor the expansion policy of the
National Administration. and would be glad to
see Independent Sound Money Anti Imperia list
ticket put in the field this fall
Charles 5. Fairchild, the former Secretary of the
Treasury, said yesterday that he probably would
vote for Mckinley again and could not be induced
TO vote for Bryan. He agreed with Mr. Hewitt that
Bryan ought not to be supported even If he sub
ordinated 16 to ! campaign issue.
Gustav H Schwab said he agreed with Mr.
Hewitt believing that Bryan was insufeIa BILE as
a candidate for the Presidency because he repre-
sented elements of ignorance and anarchy
Spencer Trask said he could not countenance
the election of Bryan and there were no circlIm-
stances that could induce him to vote for Bryan
