Is 1T AN ULTIHATCUP

If surface indications could be trusted implic-
lily, there would be an exhilaratng prospect
of n lively fight between the leader of Tam
many and the leader of the Kings County De
mocracy Croker says he will not have COler
for Mayor. Mclaughlin says he will not have
anybody else. The materials of an irrecOncil-
able breach thus seem to be ready for use with
little time left for a readjustment of relations
strained TO the point Of breaking But there
are two things worthy of consideration
as hearing on this posture OF af1alrs. In the
first place. Croker has done very little talking,
while Mclaughlin has done a great deal. Ordi-
narily that fact might be taken an indication
that when there is absolutely nothing left but
n fight or a capitulation the man who has made
the most noise during the preliminaries will be
the first TO realize that war is hell" The
Brooklyn leader has repeatedly consented in the
past to arrangements which in advance he had
declared to be intOlerable. that nobody
feels quite sure that an ultmatum from Mr..
Mclaughlin may not prove to be penultima-
tum after all.
Again. Mr. Mclaughlin assumes. with his
characteristic pose of infallibty. that he knows
Mr.. CoIers mind Perhaps he does but, if so.
he would seem TO have the advantage of Mr.
Coer who, during the last year or more, has
not appeared to know his own mind for more
than few days at time and whose favorite
response to inquiries to his hopes and wishes
has lately been appeal to his record which.
unhappily. only complicaes the problem. Thus
n little more than year ago Mr.. Coler desired
to have il clearly understood that nothing could
induce him to accept n nomination for Gov
ernor but he afterward diligently sought one
and mOurned peevishly all winter because he
found it not There is little doubt that Mr. Nc
Laughlin is now justified in believing that the
Controller has wanted to be a candidate for
Mayor this year so badly that he has not par
ticuarly cared whose candidate he was so long
as he could reasonably hope TO he elected. But
how about Mr.. McLaughlin's rejection of the
idea that Mr.. Coler would accept Tammany
denomination to the Controership If that were
the best thing offered him? For our part we
hesitate TO draw the line at that point In respect
/ either TO 1.-THE old man" or the young one
Mr.. Mclaughlin has held many good hand
before but his natural disposition is TO divide
the pot and il is still too early 10 conclude that

PRECAUTIONS STILL NECESSARY.

1t is gratefully acknowledged that the 'li"i
of Czolgosz was conducted in manner nlslh!
creditable to all directly concerned III It, anu
that il reflected credit on the whoie country
The soIen,nity and decorum Of the proceedings
were marred only at the last when an eXclted
crowd succeeded in forcing admission TO the
courtroom to hear the sentence pronounced
probably because the authorities had assumed
from the ease with which perfect order hao
been preserved heretofore that no trouble was
TO be apprehended on that occasion. In general
also the demeanor of the public has Deen aunii-
rable Suddenly subjected to bitter affiiction
by a hideous tragedy. the people have presented
TO the world fine example Of tranquility,
firmly relying upon the law for the only redress
which if permitted and patiently awaiting It's
execution.
There have been. nevertheless, a few unWel-
come manifestations in contrast with this pre-
yailing attitude. If the past alone were 10 De
considered it might not be necessary to refer TO
them But dreadful chapter of history has not
vet been closed and it would seem that strlcl
precautions must still be taken TO prevent
possible disgrace. Several times already the
snirit of mob rule has shown itself though
usually In feeble and faint hearted aggressions
which were easily repressed But early yester-
day morning when the train bearing the assas-
sin to the State prison arrived at Auburn,
large number of turbulently disposed persons
were there TO meet it. evidently with the pur-
pose of handling the prisoner roughly as pos
sibIe The guard forced n passage through the
mob. but not without difficulty and danger.
Blows were struck and serious trouble was
narrowly averted 1t may be fairly conceded
that the persons taking part in this unseemly
demonstration were not ruffians of the ordinary
type who always welcome a chance TO liberate
violent passions. They were probably actuated
by an honest feeling of detestatiOn for an exc
cradle villain, but they were public enemies
nevertheless. They were anxious to deface
record in which the country may justly feel
pride and it is important that they should
know being taught if necessary by stern meas
ures. that their conduct was disgraceful in every
respect
1t is we'll to treat this occurrence seriously,
lest liberation should invite a graver misfortune.
Apparently sufficient preparations to receive the
prisoner al Auburn had not been made. and the
consequences were less nlischevOus than they
might readily have been. No such chance should
be taken during the weeks that remain before
the execution of Czolgosz. There is presumably
no reason TO fear that an entrance into the
prison may be forced, but not trace Of dis
order ought to be permitted in its vicinity. a
guard fully competent TO prevent the slightest
outbreak of violence should be available at all
vening period and the final scene should be
attended by incidents inconsistent with the gen
eral bearing and sentiment of the country.

There are thousands of people in town who
have come to see the yacht races. New-York
gives them cordial welcome. opens her gra
cious heart to them and expresses the hope that
one and all of them will find much pleasure
here and be glad they came. No matter what
may be the result of the international series OF
contests for the Americas Cup, the visitors TO
this hustling capital may take advantage Of a
fascinating variety and range Of recreations

the principal communities of other lands. II is
true that most of the owners of the city's most

WHY NOT DEVERY7

a list of a number of persons considered
eligible for the Tammany nomination for Mayor
is said to have been prepared for the inspection
of Mr.. Croker, but, strangely enough, the list
does not appear to include the name Of the per-
son who above all others is really the logical
Tammany candidate. That man is Devery. 1t
would be intere sting to learn why his eminent
qualifications have been passed over thus. 1t
does not right: something ought to be
done about it.
In the first place. more of the real spirit of
Tammany administration is personified in Dew
cry than in any other man whose record and
character prominently before the public.
He has recommendations from Mayor Van
Wyck himself. Devery has succeeded during n
long and active career in making his name
household word in this city. There are plenty
of minor thugs and criminals who may be we'll
enough in their way, but what Tammany wants
in this campaign is some one who is thoroughly
known, and Devery fills the bill. There is not
a dvekeeper, or a disorderly house proprietor
or keeper of n gambling place who does not
know exactly where he would stand if Devery
were Mayor. This Is most important. Tam
many ought not TO subject these persons TO the
nervous strain Of a campaign for man whose
record Is obscure
Another point in Devery's favor is that he
could as Mayor restore many of the good old
customs which have been subjected 10 interfer
enCe of late. Policemen and small storekeepers
have been objecting to the shaking down proc
ess, and something has got to be done To stop
it, or Tammany might as we'll go out OF bust
ness The nomination OF Devery would be notice
to these recalcitrants that their effrontery Is
not to be tolerated. ''Touchn on and apper-
tainln' to them things there IS no one who IS so
we'll equipped as Devery. Thea cgain, Devery
is a thoroughly safe man. He knows just what
to do If caught with the goods on him. Under
such circumstances some men would make hasty
! statements, detrimental to themselves and more
! especially to their associates. But Devery
would make no such blunder. Every Tammany
voter who wanted 10 'dO business under the
! Devery administration would know that If the
! chief executive were caught with the goods on
him he would be "sayin nothing" This would
! at least give his associates time to go away for
| their health.
The more we think of Ii, the more certain we
| are that Devery is the logical Tammany candi-
| date. He would be a splendid representative
! for the city on any formal occasions where
| grace and tact We're required. He. would be in
| terestlng to foreign visitors; quite as interest
! ing as anything to he found at the Zoo.

PEACE AND WAR IN SOUTH AMERICA

1t is much 10 be regretted that at the very

continents are sending delegates to a friendly

President OF Colombia. probably aided by allies
from Nicaragua and possibly by others from
Ecuador. All the results of such assault cannot
be confidently predicted. But those who have
