New York, Oct. 0.--fThe ancient nmity
between T. Augustus Heinze and Henry
II. Rogers has left trail Of crime and
financial debauchery that extends from
Butte, Montana, TO Hamburg, Germany,
thus far, and may have in the imme-
date future many other far-reaching Ell.
fects Of disastrous character Thou.
sands Of innocent depositors and busi-
ness interests In no way related to the
schemes and ambitions OF these men
have suffered gicyously, and many
thousands more apt TO suffer before the
end 10 reached. though-at this writing It
seems that Heinze 10 down and OUT
He and the other stormy petrol Of fin
ance. G. w. Morse, have been forced To
withdraw from all banks and financial
institutions with which they were con-
nected. and only by the prompt action
Of the combined banking interests Of
New York, was cataclysm averted that
would have shaken the whole nation.
Politicians are specializing on what
affect Mr.. Bryan's visi. to New York is
apt to have on the Chanier boon, The
concensus Of opinion seems to be that it
will help II. Indeed the theory Is advan-
eed BY q political wiseacre that one Of
the purposes Of Mr.. Bryan in coming
thither just at this time, was TO find out
for himself how the young Lieutenant
Governor Is regarded by the party Lead
ers In the East. II 80. he must have
been favorably impressed, as all the New
York papers were full OF Chanler talk
the very morning that the Peerless ono
arrived.
That there was more in the Chandler
boom than would uproar from surface
indications was confded TO me by d
prominent upstate democrat six weeks
ago. Since then. friends Of the lieutenant
Governor have been at work quietly but
industriously sounding sentiment in diff.
ferent parts Of the country. and have
been much impressed with the result.
Everywhere they declare they have
found an inclination on the parts Of De.
mocrats to return to the old party prin-
ciples. which were submerged in the
flood of radicalsm that followed the
first nomination Of Mr.. Bryan and paved
the way for the propaganda conducted
in these latter days by William R.
Hearst.
They declare that not only would Mr..
Chanler be fitting standard bearer in
"a Democratic fight along the lines Of
conservative reform, but that with him
as the nominee Mr.. Hearst, who they be-
lievc undoubtedly will figure in the next
Presidential campaign, would be depriv-
ed Of much political ammunition that he
might use with advantage against al.
most any other Democratic candidate
Mr.. Hearst in the gubernatorial cam.
paign year ago, and the Independence
League leader at that time, almost ex-
hausted the vocabulary of praise in his
efforts to boost Mr.. Chandler.
1t is the plan Of the Chanler managers
to name Governor johnson, Of Mime.
sofa as the New York's running mate,
a plan that is much criticized by pract-
ical politicians, by the way, as indicat-
ing an amateurish hand in the Chanler
management. No candidate for Presi-
dental nomination, these wise ones say,
can afford to antagonize all other aspir-
ants by selecting one particular man
this far In advance.
