New York, Oct. 5.-Curtis special to-
Chicago Record: The republicans do not
yet realize how hard the democrats are
working to carry the state of New York
or recognize the conditions that favor
their success. In the first place. since he
became the grand sachem of Ta1nmany
hail, Mr. Croker has never before had
any inducement 10 carry the state for
presidential candidate of his party. He
had nothing to expect from the success
sof MIR. Cleveland who has been the
democratic nominee twice since Croker
came into power, nor from Mr.. Bryan
four years ago. and Mr.. Croker is a
practical politician. He does not waste
his time or his efforts. But this year he
| is inspired by an Involvement, which has
mot BEEN officially disclosed, but which is
probably a promise Of recognition in
case Col. Bryan is elected.
Neither Col. Bryan nor Mr.. Mckinley
at this point in u campaign would give
| a positive promiseto any politician for
| anything. They are too wise to tie
/ themselves UP in any such manner, but
! there is not the slightest doubt that
! Mr.. Grok er has received from MIR. Bryan
/ an assurance that his reorganization shall
| be recognized az the regular democracy
/ of New York in the distribution of pat
| ronage At least this Is believed bysev-
/ erNboay who has relations with Mr..
/ Croker. and is admitted by members Of
4 the national committee who are looking
/ after the campaign in the east. Mr.. Gro
/ kerss 8lieutenants say that he demanded
4 such an assurance before he undertook
to carry the state. and got H. Icing a
/ man OF plain words and practical meth
4 DDS. he told Mr.. Bryan's Representatives
j in language that they could not pos
Il sibly misunderstood that he did not
propose to assist in eiecting a presiden,
4 Who would allow anybody but himself
s (and he meant David Il. HID to divide
4 the loaves end the fishes in that state
4 Whatever reply he received was salts.
Y Ifactory TO him and to his lieutenants
Who We're Immediately informed
Mr.. Bryan and his friends may den,
y that there is a bargain or that prom.
Uses have been made to Mr.. Croker. Mr.
Croker Will doubtless make IA slmilai
denial. but nevertheless he has told tn,
boys" that he has proper under
standing with Mr.. Bryan and that ev
serything will be right in case the latte
is elected president. This means every
r
I the federal patronage at his DISPOSAL
he will be able to control the state or
ganization, which he has been striving
7 Ito obtain for years. 1t means also tina
he or the ne. ......;;l. he names, may g
to the United States senate when MI
= Platt's term expires in 1903.
One reason for Mr.. Cookers conf
denee of a democratic victory in Ne,
York is found in the fact that Co
Bryan, Richard Croker, David B. Hill
Bourke Cochran, Edward NJ. shepar
and John Dewitt Warner Will sit o
the same platform at Madison squar
garden on the evening of October II
which will. be a notable phenomenon j
;politics. Il could not have occurred o
any other time within the last lively
:, years, and il Mr.. SchurZ can be in

add another remarkable figure TO a
extraordinary combination. Every on
of the men / have mentioned was dc
ling everything he could to prevent tn
election of Bryan four years ago sexceT
