Hugh Mclaughlin. on Croker and Bryan


New, York, July 5.-Hugh. Mclaughlin
of Brooklyn is a veteran leader in poll
tics, noted for taking sane view: of
things; and saying little. His political
judgment is usually very sound. If it
were not, he would not have continued at
the head of the democratic organization
in Brooklyn for more than a generation.
1t is, therefore, of the highest interest
politically, that Mr.. Mclaughlin has de-
parted from usual custom and spoken for,
publications in language, the import Of
which cannot be mistaken. He says,
first, that Croker is not coming back to
return. to: leadership. He has got too
much sense, he, thinks, to do so; but
even if he: should come back Tammany
would not permit him to take the lead

tack on ex-President Cleveland Mr..
Mclaughlin commends the words of Mr..
Cleveland's speech to Mr.. Bryan, and says
it is the way the latter ought to talk II
he really desires to see the democratic
party succeed. 1t is evident, therefore,
that Mr.. Mclaughlin believes that party
harmony and party success would be pro-
NOTED if Mr.. Croker will remain in Eng
land and Mr.. Bryan will take back seat
for time, and let others try If they can
succeed where he has failed twice. It
may be adde that this view is entertained
by many others besides Mr. Mclaughlin.
Mr.. Croker's return would hurt the demo-
cratic party very much. The talk about
his returning is helping the republicans
not little. Mr.. Bryan's attack on Mr..
Cleveland may not greatly hurt the party,
but it is certainly injuring him in the
estimation of many eastern democrats
