LEAVES THE CITY

NEW YORK, June "a, 1900.
1t is freely conceded that New York will
this year be one of the chief battle grounds
in the national campaign. The democrats
particularly claim that the issue may be de-
cded here. They admit that the selection
of candidates for state officers is most inn
portant For this reason it has already
been practically decided to let the repub-
licans nominate their candidates first. The
elimination of Gov. Roosevelt from the To-
cal political situation makes it probable.
democrats believe. that the entire republic
can ticket will be composed of dyed-in-the
wool machine men. If Richard Croker con-
sents, the democratic candidate for COVER
nor will in all probability be former Judge
Earl of Herkimer. Some question has been
raised as to the age of Judge Earl. but
this has been put aside and a comparison
made with that of former Gov. Morton.
Within very short time there will be
conference by the democratic leaders. The
entire situation in the state and nation will
be discussed and plan Of conducting the
fight will be marked out.
On the other side of the fence, the re-
publicans intend to begin their campaign
at once. A large banner bearing portraits
of Mckinley and Roosevelt will float across
I'D street, near Broadway in a few days:
ratification meetings already are being held
and indications that the shouting was
only just begun in the Philadelphia con-
ventton, grand as was the demonstration
there.
Next Tuesday night is is expected will
be record breaker in republican enthusi-
asm when the New York county committee
will hold its first ratification meeting in
Carnegie Hall. Seth Low will preside, and
Senator Foraker of Ohio and Representa-
tive Cousins of Iowa will be the principal
speakers. Both are unsurpassed cam
paign speakers. and arrangements be-
ing made to accommodate large crowd.
The Brooklyn Union League Club, whose
president. Col Masters. was the first per-
son to congratulate Gov. Roosevelt by tele-
graph on his nomination for Vice Presi-
dent also will ratify the ticket on Tues
day night.
Commander DeInhanty's Orders.
The action of the Navy Department in
ordering Commander Daniel Delahanty, L.
8. N, who, for the past two years. has
been governor of Sailors Snug Harbor, on
Staten Island, to report for active duty and
sail from San Francisco to Manila on July
10. has given rise to a report that this
der has resulted in his resignation. There
has been a bitter fight among the trustees
of the Staten Island institution. 1t is said
by Delahantys friends that he will resign
from the navy in order to retain his place
as governor of Sailors Snug Harbor Com
mander Delahanty has not yet said wheth-
er he will resign or not. He will not deny
that his resignation is on the way to Wash
old salts at the harbor that the commander
had pledged himself to stay with them and
conduct the affairs of the harbor as long
as the majority of the trustees desired him
to remain
The Cigarmakers' Strike.
The 1000 striking and locked-out cigar
makers are still out, and the struggle be-
tween them and their former employers,
quiet and seemingly uneventful as ever, is
attracting the attention Of oil
the country. 1t is fifteen weeks since the
strike broke out, and to Judge from out
ward appearances the situation today is the
same as it was at the very beginning of
the fight. Labor leaders declare 1t one of
the most interesting and significant struG-
giles in the history Of labor organiza lions
in this city while cigarmakers look upon
the strike of their union sonnet thing des-
tined to play important part in deter
mining their economical condition for many
years to come.
Arrival of Mrs. GoeIet.
Mrs. Ogden Goclet. one of the most beau
tiful of American widows. and her daugh-
ter May. said to he the richest of American
hcircsses, arrived in New York on the Gu
nsrd liner Lucania. When Mrs. Goelet came
TO America last it was Just after the death
of her husband-on his yacht in 1897. She
was at that time in deep mourning, and
c!ety saw nothing of her. Now all will he
different. She will probably be at Newport
all summer. The conquests she and her
beautiful daughter will make there will be
watched with great interest. Miss May
GCelct is the only daughter of the late
Robert Ogden Goelet. She is now Just
twenty years old. When she becomes twen-
ty-Cne she will inherit $2o. OtOGOO according
to her fathers will. This season will wit
ness her American debut. Her social con-
quests in Europe have already been chron-
icled from time to time She has been va
riously reported engaged, first to the
kn n mol hos ur,1l ltr ~ NO IL
of ShaftesbUry. Other names have been
more vaguely linked with hers. but she
seems to be still in possession of her own
heart. She is almost beautiful as her
mother. although of entirely different
type. She Is slender. and is inclined to be a
blonde, while her mother is plump with
brunette complexion.
