LOW7LL WIN, SAYS, CRLNNINS
SOLUTE SURRENDER OF CROKER.
HE DECLARES.

The nomination of Edward NJ Shepard as
the head of the Tammanv ticket shows that
Croker has surrendered absolutely" said John
D. Crmrnns yesterday to a group Of friends on
the Erin. Mr.. Crimmins was the guest of Sir
Thomas Upton, and he himself prom
inently mentioned as a candidate for Mayor on
the fusion ticket his words awakened much in
terest. In answer to inquiries to what effect
he thought Mr.. Shepard's nomination would
have on the outcome Of the campaign, Mr.. Grim
Minis said:
Mr.. Shepards nomination means the election
of Seth Low. Tammany Hall and Croker want
cd another Van Wyck, who would do the
boss's bidding, who had no mind of his
own But Croker that public sentiment was
too strong against such a nomination, and he
has accordingly put up candidate of the stamp
of Mr.. Shepard"
DO you believe that Mr. Shepard has accepted
the nomination with a promise not to disturb
Devery?" was asked.
Il do not. Mr.. Shepard is not that kind of
man. 1 do not believe he made any pledges"
Mr.. Crimmins paused a moment. and then
added:
But on what Mr.. Shepard make his fight?
He hasn't an issue. He knows well as if not
better than, some of us. the rottenness of the
present administration rottenness permea ting
as ii does every department of the city's gov
eminent Mr.. Shepard supported Mr.. Low in
1897. How can he fight against him now?
THE sentiment behind Mr. Lows candidacy
is tremendous, and will overthrow whomsoever
Tammany puts up its chief candidate. Mr.
Croker has seen the coming storm. and sought
TO escape it by choosing Mr. Shepard. Croker's
overthrow will be only the more profound.
Mr. Shepard personally have often admired.

ination from such a man as Richard Croker"

owes his nomination to an alliance between the
thoroughly corrupt Tammany and the no less
corrupt Brooklyn machines.
How Mr. Shepard can give this city good
administration with such tools is riddle to us.
Even If he has made no promises, he must select
the ChlefS of departments from the machines
which made him. This is the key to the situa-
tlon The fight is being waged against Croker
ism and the fearful corruption which is Croker's
work. How can Mr.. Shepard fight the man to
WEom he is indebted for his nomination? 1t Is
clear that Mr.. Shepard has only be ~ nominated
because the choice of a respectable man was the
only way for Tammany to remain in power and
TO fill its pockets before. Mr.. Shepard's repu-
of Tammany and means to elect Tammany
satellites upon the county and borough tickets.
Cookers power would, therefore, not be broken
by the election of Mr. Shepard. Tammany
might be a little more careful for the next two
years, but somewhat better administrator
would only make it easier for Croker TO eject
one of his tools two years hence. the ohly eA-
cuse for Mr.. Shepards nomination is 20 give d
new lease of life to the CrOkers and Deverys'
the Sullivans and Farres, the McLaughhns;

their influence would be strengthened
