All this is the result CT Mr.. Crokers un-
fortunate absence in Indiana when the
Seventh district Democrats were trying to

nominated four men, Tammany contributing

The Republicans are content with one,
Montague Lessler.
Mr.. Belmont said on Tuesday that Mr.,
| Croker did not tell the truth in saying that
he had not interfered ia the selection OF a
candidate. Mr.. Belmont added that he
himself was not Mr.. Crokers candidate

own good II somebody had not interfered
