A Dangerous Combine.

The rivalry In New York between
me Republican factions Is so mixed up
with railroad and trust domination OF
the G. o. p. that 1t becomes OF ma
tlonal interest. The irenzled ilnan.
cIers and the politicians have Joined
hands to control the political desti'
MES of the nation, but there is a con-
test between the two centralized
groups OF Wall street for supremacy.
On one hand are the Rockefeller'Har'
riman group, with Odell as the polti'
cal leader. and these hope to see Fair
banks nominated for president; OPP
posod to them are the Morgan.Nan'
derbilt group. with Root and his
friends expecting to dictate success
sor to Plat for United States senator
and the control of the delegation to
the next national convention. NO
wonder the voters OF New York repu'
dated both factions at the last cleo
ton and are looking to the Democ'
racy to preserve them from the cor
-uption and grating that naturally
follows the association of corporations
and political leadaTs.

But Secretary Hitchcock was evident
