TINS KNIFE OUT FOR CROhER
RECENT OBSERVATIONS HANDSHAhlNG
ONLY MAKE BELIEyE-SULllNAN
OPPOSED TO AHEARN.

Politicians who are acquainted with the pc
culiar characteristics Of Messrs. Croker ano Sui
iivan believe that their CHEEKY breakfast to-
.ether their jaunt TO the races, and their os-
tentatious handshakings, which were so Wen
advertised last Monday, were merely the ol1er-
ent scenes of high class, refined vaudeville
The purpose of the performance is said to
have been merely to hoodwlnk some of the more
credulous in the wigwam into believing that the
two bosses had made up" and were friends
again.
However entertaining and edifying the vaude-
willie production may have been, the ugly story
still fingers in the Wigwam that the Croker
Sullivan fight has in no measure abated. and
tha; the two bosses are only skrrnishing for
:. final struggle in convention.
Evidence that the two chiefs are still after
each others scalp is cropping out in every dis
trict on the lower East Side, where big Tim"
is believed TO be supreme.
Further proof OF the aninosity existing be-
tween the Lord of Vantage and the Gin Mill
King of the East Side" as Sullivan's friends de-
light 70 call him, came to light yesterday In the
boom of Senator John F. Ahearn for the Tam
many candidacy for Sheriff of New-York County.
On examining what stuff Dir. Ahearn's boom
was made of. II was discovered that he had the
promise of support from Mr.. Croker and from
certain teachers firemen and policemen. whose
salaries he had caused TO be increased by legis-
1ation at Albany.
In opposition 10 Mr.. Croker. the schoolteach-
ers fremen and policemen. Big Tim Sullivan
was discovered to be actively working for M.
Ahearns humiliation In so many words, big
Tim is reported 10 have said that Ahearn
won't do" Ahearn, the Bowery SeBator SAID

shin in the lid against tom" Foley since
Foley was Sullivans man, any friend OF NV
ver's IS henceforth TO be treated as an outcasI

dacy for the shrievalty, and boasts OF pelns

Sullivan has candidate for the place him
self although he will not mention his name.
But whoever gets the job, as the Bower!

question as TO whether Sullivan or Croker Is

FUSION ON ASSEMBLYlMEN.
WORKING ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN RE
PUBLICANS AND CITIZENS UNION
REPRESENTATIVES,.

. a working arrangement for complete fusion
L On Assemblymen in Manhattan and The Bronx
mas been reached by President Morris and w H.
Ten Eyck, OF the Republican County Commit
tee and r Fulton Cutting, president of the
Citizens Union.
Briefly. the arrangement is that in Republican
districts the Citizens Union will indorse the Re
publican candidates, and that Republican AS
semblymen with creditable records will be re-
nominated. In Democratic districts independent
Democrats will be chosen. in the hope of reduc-
ing the Democratic minority in the lower house.
When Mr.. Cutting was asked bout the under
standing yesterday. he said
L is probable that there will be satisfactory
fusion on the Assembly candidates. / had a talk
with M: Morris and Mr. Ten Eyck some time ago
publican districts the Citizens Union would sup
distrfcfs. wherever adVisabIe independent Demo
Gratis are to be nominated. All the nominations in
Democrstic districts will be made Of course, with
the idea OF strengthening the ticket.
Naturally. Republicans lock rather jeaiously or
any suggestion that would tend to lessen their
delegation of Assembiymen from this city, and the
Citizens Union leaders fully of this
feeling Mr. Cutting and others have been asked
fatty what the Citizens Union is aiming at in its
desire TO elect AssernOlyrnen of its own. The an
has been that the city's interests demanded
watchfulness from representatives who would sub
ordinate politics TO the welfare of the city. In
reply TO this the record of Governor Odes admin
istratlon has been pointed to, and the suggestion
made that the interests of the city We're last year
protected by the Republican legislature. although

The opinion here is that the authorities at Wash

The term OF court which closed last
Saturday. although but two weeks in
length, disposed of more than usual
amount of business. A murder trial.
a burglary trial and three jury civil
cases, besides number of other cases
were all fully and thoroughly gone
over. Judge Geiger has proven him
self a most capable man indeed. While
he permits each case to be thoroughly
reviewed, and gives the attorneys
rather more latitude than some iudg-
es, his decisions are always firmly
made and bear the test of supreme
court review as well, If not better,
than any other Judge in the state. 1t
is well known fact that fewer of
Judge Geiger'S decisions in the last
eight years have been reversed by
higher courts than those of any other
district judge in the state. His record
for the expedition of business is also
much better than the majority of
judges in the state, and thus much
expense is saved the taxpayer. The
HERALD has heard from jurors, iti-
giants and other citizens interested
more words of praise for the Judge
this term than at any time before,
though he has always been popular in
this county.

Dare He Answer?

Last week S Dispatch was filled with
abuse of the HERALD editor and a
long-winded attempt to dodge the
questions at issue about the HbuSi-
ness administration" Of the county's
financial affairs. Not a single ques-
ton was answered. Since Mr.. Royce
is the boss of ''de gang and of course
their spokesman, the taxpayers of the
county would like to have him answer
several questions. Here are a few of
the things they would like to know:
Why appointments are not made to
assistants to help the probate judge
make quarterly examinations of the
treasury as required by law? Why
the poor fund is ovePdraWn, nearly, if
not quite, $1,000? Why the tax levieS
are higher this year than for several
years. If it is true, as stated in the
Dispatch, that nearly $1,000 was trans
ferred from the sinking fund into the
general fund, by what authority was
it done, since it is a direct violation
of law? Why was the general fund
sary to make this transfer from the
sinking to the general fund to prevent
deficit? If the money to take up
the old bonds was sent in January,
1900, and new bonds were not register
ed until October, 1901, as the Dis
patch states, was the sinking fund
Overdrawn all that time, and is not
twenty-five months an unnecessarily
long time in which to transfer bonds?
Ii the treasurer saved thu county
sS750.O0 on account of holders of
bonds voluntarily presenting them
for redemption, how much more
would have been saved IL proper
notice had been published at the time
the money was sent to redeem them?
Why, If there were $1,000 in the
sinking fund, was it not applied to-
ward paying off that mueh of the
bonded Indebtedness, leaving only
$4,000 to be refunded, instead of re-
funding the full $4,000 and Illegally
transferring the $1,000 to the general
fund to cover up d deficit?
1t must be remembered UnaG Wnen
Treasurer Mercer over drew the gen.
eral fund it was for the purpose Of
buying in the county tax sales and
was just as sure of returning back
into the treasury as the money for
refunding bonds was. The gain to
county was far greater. Now why
was it wrong for Mr.. Mercer to over
draw for the county's benefit and
right for Mr. Cheadle to do the same
thing? Why was not the annual set
Element with the county treasurer
made by the commissioners at the
time required by law?
And when Mr.. Royce has answered
these questions, the taxpayers of the
county will have a few more for his
eonsideFation. Win be dare try to
answer?
