Demas was unquestionably Negro
Of large ability and was one of the most
able parliamentarians who ever served

Of the senate he was always bold and

career is remarkable in that he came

amid the peaceful surroundings Of his

was one Of the most conspicuous Ne

height of his power, none of the white
leaders was more aggressive. He was

MR. CoLER AND THE MAYoRALTY

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t can scarcely be supposed that Mr.. Platt
In expressing his emphatic disapproval Of the
possible nomination Of Mr. CoIer for Mayor next
year reflects the sentiment of any considerable
number Of Republicans. His argument for nomi-
mating almost anybody but Mr. Coler is peculiarly
weak and unfortunate Unsoundness on the money
question was imputed to Major Mckinley FIVE years
ago by Mr.. Platt, and the Presidency. which
there was then much talk OF ating the for
mer gentleman, is an Office OF tremendous influence
IN currency matters Nevertheless, the senior Sen
ator from NewYork able to reconcile him
self TO McKinley's nomination and election, under
the force or circumstances which he could
troll He would doubtless yield to fate IN the same
graceful manner If Mr.. Coler were nominated and
elected next year.
In reality the currency question has no more to
do with municipal administration than the pre-
cession Of the equnoxes. The very fact that no
more apt and serious objection be openly Of
fered tc the nomination Of Mr.. Coler is Of the
strong reasons why he should be considered There
Is. however one still moro cogent. The Mayoralty
fight next year ought to be exclusively campaign
against Tammany. If it is anything else it will be
a failure. Now. there is no other Democrat of any
prominence in this city who is so obnoxious to Mr.
Croker the Controller. This fact was vyidly IL
Illustrated by the recent State canvass when there
was strong movement in favor OF nominating
Mr.. Coer for Governor; and Mr.. Croker has the
best possible reasons for this antipathy. He has
recently encountered elsewhere such resistance
to his wicked designs that which Mr. Coler has
