Tho leaders and Their Present Lot.
Most Of the big men Of Tammany Hall
who have been In Office for the last four
years have beer thrifty and saving, and the
result Is that the two years OF political
exile that they are facing have no terrors
for them SO far as the matter Of making
a living goes. To be a leader OF Tammany
Hall a man must possess a certain amount
of shrcwdness and ability OF the kind that
results In the making and saving OF money
All Tammany men OF importance knew
for months before the election that there

IL seem wise for them TO provide
against a possible period OF retire.
ment. They would not admit that there
was a chance Of defeat at the polls before
election, except TO those whom they knew
we'll and in whom they had the greatest
confidence, but all OF them foresaw what
might happen, and what did happen and
the result was that they took such pre-
cautions that the beginning OF the year
found them with their pockets so well
lined that they can spend a little time look
ing around for something else to do without
going hungry in the meantime.
John f. Carroll has held no Office for a
long time. He was Clerk Of the Court OF
General Sessions until the arrangement
was made under which he became the rep
r~esentative OF Richard Croker at Tammany
Hall during the visits Of the leader OF the
Hall TO his home in England,
Mr.. Croker was away from this country
SO much that Mr.. Carroll found that he
could not do the work OF the clerk Of the
- - -. a. $3.50 ill., attAnA To thu
matters that demanded his attention at
Tammany Hall. SO he resigned from
the court and devoted all Of his time to the
political affairs Of the Wigwam.
He had a thankless task. He was the
the man who had TO refuse to do favors for
the district leaders. Not more than one in
ten OF the things that the leaders ask the
head OF the organization TO do is possible
or ~expedient, and when a leader fails to
get a favor he regards the refusal as a per-
sonal affront from the man who had to say
no 10 him.
Mr.. Carroll did all this. and some Of the
leaders thought that he played favorites.
too. and so he had many enemies. But Mr..
Carroll had time to look after his own bust
ness interests while he was managing the
affairs Of Tammany, and he Is now rated as
a very rich man.
He is one Of the warmest friends OF Charles
W. Morse, who has been buying banks right
and left lately, and made a fortune Of
considerable size out Of the consolidation OF
the ice companies doing business in this
city. Mr.. Carroll and his friend Mayor
Van wyck got into this enterprise early
and both Of them realized large fortunes.
Now that Mr.. Carroll has retired from the
active management Of Tammany he has
been elected yice-President OF one OF the
Morse banks and he will give all his atten-
ton to it's business. For q long time Mr.
Carroll has been anxious to change his oc-
cupation and leave the hard grind Of poll
tics to others. He thinks that he will find
the management Of a bank less irksome
and more congenial than the political work
that he has been doing heretofore.
Col. Michael c. Murphy. Tammany leader
Of the First Assembly district. has no occu-
patton beyond politics. He il . veteran.
and he never gives up hope. During the
Van Wyck ad ADMINISTRATION he was first
President Of the Department OF Health. and
then Commissioner Of Police.
He thinks that Tammany will return 20
power two wears hence. and he took good
care TO resign as Police Commissioner. and
