NEW YORK. Nov 6.-Tammany
had an opportunity today to recover
its breath and estimate the extent of
the avalanche under which it was
buried at the polls on Tuesday. It
lost every place on the New York
county ticket and lost Brooklyn. The
only CLEAN of cheer was that it car
ried Queens county, across the river,
by a scant 1920, and carried Senator
Tim Sullivan's Bowery district by
a reduced plurality. The rank AMI
file of Tammany oficeholders are
dazed by the result By Tuesdays

The chief anti-Tammany Demo-
cratic organization, John C. Sheehan's
Greater New York Democracy. is
hopeful of securing control of the city
organization and will work to that end
indefatigably from now on. Mr.
Sheehan said today:
we shall continue to fight Tam
many until it is wiped out of exist
ence. 1t is our purpose to have our
organization recognized at State and
National conventions as the regular
Democratic organization of this city
That the Sheehan Democracy con-
templates a coalition with David B.
Hill is certain. Locally it expects to
take in Comptroller Coler and Sena-
tor Coffey's following in Brooklyn.
The Greater New York Democracy
cast more than 10000 votes on Tues
day. when only 10000 were required
to win the standing of regularity.
Richard Croker today denied the
story that he had abdicated his lead
ership in favor of Chief Lieutenant
John F. Carroll. He said:
Il am here to stay. 1t Is not true
that | intend to resign the leadership
am not gutter. If anybody thinks
Tammany is beaten for good, he will
find himself mistaken"
Jacob o. Canter an ex-Tammany
man. who was elected President of
the Borough of Manhattan on the
Fusion ticket. an Office that. under the
revised charter. will have more pa
tronage than all others. said today:
NO overtures from Tammany will
be considered. NY effort will be to
destroy the very name of it. During
the next two years Democrats will
be in charge of the city. They will
demonstrate what an administration
by real Democrats means"
So, taking one thing with another,
Tammany has fallen upon evil days.
Justice Jerome who was elected Dis
trict Attorney. Is eager for work. He
said today that he would clean up the
East Side and put all the cadets" to
work in prison: that he will stop po-
lice blackmail and corruption and that
