Politics I'm Congress This Winter.
Politicians hereabout said many things
yesterday. The Democrats were gleeful
bveffhe election OF Mcclellan; The McLaugh-
lin DemociR.s. of Brooklyn, we're happy
over the election of the borough ticket
nominated by Hugh Mclaughlin, and the
McCarren Democrats we're tickled to pieces
because McCarren and his friends fought
to bring about the election OF Mcclellan
Grout and Fornes on the city ticket.
There was no doubt in the estimation OF
Democrats that the election of Mcclellan
as Mayor OF New York city and the election
of Littleton and the remainder OF Mr..
McLaughlin's borough ticket In Brooklyn
would bring about complications next year
In the Democratic state convention, and
anybody who imn gined that. because
Mcclellan was elected Mayor, Hugh
Mclaughlin was down and out was mis-
taken. And yet McCarren without the
slightest doub, is to the fore OF Democratic
machine politics in Brooklyn.
There were all sorts of stories afoat as
to how the Democratic machine below
the Bronx would vote in the Democratic
State Convention, to be called next spring
for the election of delegates to the National
Democratic Convention. The opinion was
very freely expressed that Leader Charles
F. Murphy and Leader Patrick n. McCarren
and their friends in the boroughs OF Man,
haitian. Brooklyn, Queens, Richmond and
the Bronx would be very greatly opposed
to any ascendency of David B. Hill in the
Democratic National Convention next year.

familiar with the situation and having a
full understanding of what is going on,
Murphy McCarTen and that crowd are very
favorable to the nomination OF Senator
Arthur Pue German of Maryland for Presl-
dent next year. They think that German
has not injured his chances in any way by
raising the race question in the guberna-
torial fight In Maryland, and that German
will persist and insist upon raising tins
question in the Democratic National Con-
vention, believing that the white vote IN
the States OF Indiana, Ohio New York. New
Jersey and Connecticut will far overtop
any colored sentiment that President Roose-
welt may have inspired.
There's heap OF politics, said very
influential United States politician last
night, "to be brought out in the approach
ing extraordinary session OF Congress at
Washington, and after that extraordinary
session there is more politics to be brought
out at Washington, and within six months
in view Of the election in New York city
and the election in Ohio, where MIR. Hanna
shows his absolute power to roll up a plural
ty of 12O, 900 for his friend Herriot, and in
view of the reports that Mr.. Hanna is not
to be chairman of the Republican national
committee and, moreover, in view Of the
statement heard on all sides that President
Roosevelt cannot control the Southern
delegates in the appro achingRepublica n
national convention, many things are to
be expected.
'Too much praise cannot be given to
Mr.. Hanna for rolling up this tremendous
plurality OF 10000 for Herrick in Ohio
the highest Republican plurality that was
ever given to any Republican candidate in
that State. That plurality itself was a
welt must understand it as such. 1t shows
Hanna's power; and the defeat of Low in
New York city shows the power Of other
people
