PIunhjtt Stays at Home-Ricbter's
One FLOQter.

George Washington PIunkitt, of the 10Th AS
senbIy District, the hero Of q hundred political
battles. so far as real power is concerned is a
political memory The" NCManUs, who beat
him for the leadership. is the man Of the hour in
the district. It was a deIirious night for Tam
many men in the 18th District on Tuesday, and
the deIriuu had not entirely worn off last night.
Every man by the mans Of NIcManus held his
head up high and looked every other man in the
eye. The political glory acquired by the elder
brother sort o. sloshed over and covered all
tha other McManuses with effuIgence.
Stitch" AIcNIanus received congratulations from
scores Of friends, as did also "One Eyed" Nc
Manus and Jimmy and Billy McManus An
other man who shared IN the hOnors was Alder
man Richter, The Plunkitt men, in a moment
OF false pride styled Richter and his men
Dutch mixers" Because Of this epithet all the
Germans were for Richter who was DIcManus's
side partner.
Al for Senator PIunkitt, he kept inside his
house all day, members of his family saying he
was exceedingly busy with business matters.
John z. Dordan, PIunkitt's political partner,
was all tired out, and slept till after o'clock in
the afternoon
The winter OF 1906 will be the last term in
the Senate for Mr.. PIunkitt. While it is too far
ahead TO plan with any degree Of certainty, it
IS on the cards for Assem- bIyTnan McAIanus to
succeed PlUDklCC as senator. Inc QlSuiCL6
boundaries will be different next year. The
legislature next winter will reapportion the Sen
ate districts and IL may be easier for Senator
SAKE, Republican, TO carry it then Even after
the reapportiOnment, II probably will still be a
Democratic district and 1t will mean q hard
fight for Mr.. SAKE # he runs.
Now that it's all over" said McManUs, the
new leader, yesterday, Il want TO say that
would have got more than 81 majority If II had
not been for the PIunkitt-Dordan bank roll For
once in his life PIunkitt spent money as If he
had a private money factory somewhere and
was running bills OFF by the thousand. Johnny
Dordan simply threw II away. had no money
at all. I stood on principle, and the people vim
dicated American manhood. That's what ap-
people of this district, and thank them for the
way they rallied 70 my support. Charles f
Murphy told me last spring that he would keep
hands of in the fight, and he did II. I had the
regular organization in the district against me,
but Plunkitt had nearly ruined il, and when we
got going We had trouble IN winning. My
first step viii be TO get q new and decent club
house for the district in place Of that Cubby hole
that Plunkitt has compelled his people to meet
in for the last generation
They only got in one Plunkitt 1oateT on me-
said Alderman Richter THE way il was done
was this: A little fellow he comes around and
spots him as a McManus man. and says TO Ei-1
to get out. He looks me in the eye with gO51
bluff like and says he'll bet me SIS thai Ne gets
IN his vote I says I bets he won't I went in
and got hold of him and was Just golr' TO escort
him out when he gives me- the signal, which was
two soft kicks in the shin That seemed TO be
all to the good and I let's him vote but I sent
that he done ne. He was PIunkitt man, after
all. But that was the only one, and he wouldn't
a made good If he hadn't had the signal
don't see how he got II
