McCarren already has declared for ex-Mayor
Adam. D. Cady Herrick, of Albany and New
York, has been doomed quietly but persistently
for several weeks backed by influential MEM
bers of the Democratic Club and those who
took part in the New York conference yester-
day. George NJ Palmer, of Schoharie, minor
ity leader of the Assembly at the last session,
has many friends. David c. Robinson, OF Che
mung who defeated Sherman Mooreland. ma
jority leader of the Assembly last fall, has been
taking his own boom seriously. William Suzer,
of New York; Edward NJ. Shepard and Jus
tees Gaynor and Gerard, of Kings, have figured
largely In the gossip to-day. Controller Glynn.
of Albany, is known to be receptive. even anx-
ious, candidate, but the talk has assigned him
rather to second place the ticket or re-
nomina ton for his present office than to first

If Controller Glynn should not be nominated
for Lieutenant Governor. there is little doubt
that he will be renominated to his present office.
Some of the politicians here say Tom Finu-
cane would like this place, too, but Glynn ap-
pears to have the lead Julius Hauser, of Suf-

JACKSON NOT TO BE RENAMED.
1t is settled that Attorney General Jackson

candidates to succeed him, among them George

Charles F. Murphy, the boss of Tammany Hall,
will start for Rochester tonight still undecided
to vino Is the best for the Democrats to
nominate for Governor. From all that could be
learned here yesterday, the slate may not be made
up until Just before the convention convenes
Tuesday. Judging from what the leaders here had
to say yesterday, ex-Judge D. Cady Herrick stands
the best chance of landing the nomination at the
present time.
There is just thing you can depend upon
said OF the leaders yesterday, that is, the
Democratic party will nominate a of the
highest type. We will nominate man who would
be worthy to for President of the United
States. On that proposition all agreed"
w Caryl Ely is still being talked of a strong
candidate, but there appears to be opposition TO
him which may initiate to the advantage of Judge
Herrick
Attorney General Jackson has also been renewing
his attempts to get denomination on the Demo-
cratic ticket but has met with rebuhs. Failing
to land the place for himself. he has suggested
that Deputy Attorney General Dolson would be
good man for the nomination. But 1t can be said
with degree OF positveness that candidate
for Attorney General will be picked from the
present Office of Attorney General Jackson.
Both William r. Mcclure and William A. Doyle.
who defeated by McCarren In the 9Th and 9Th
districts respectively, at the primaries in Brooklyn
Tuesday, have decided to send contesting dele
cations TO Rochester. If Charles F. Murphy says
of raising a ruction In the convention. Murphy is
much inclined to say the word. but it is believed
that Chairman Mack and Vice-Chairman Hudspeth
will be able to persuade him to agree to harmony.
Senator McCarren has served notice on the leaders
that If any attempt is made TO throw his delegates
out Of the convention they may expect trouble He
is taking with him to Rochester Isaac NJ Kapper,

PLAN ITO WIDEN TWO
DOWNTOWN STREETS
COUNCIL MAY BE ASKED TO
ACT ON COMMERCIAL AND
EXCHANGE DEAL.
Ann lnncement IS made

Announcement is made that prop
erty holders along the thoroughfares
in question nave commenced an agi-
tation Of the question Of widening
Commercial street and Exchange
Street between Seventeenth and
Twenty-third.
The matter has already progressed
so far that it is probable that a pcti-
ton to this effect will be presented to
the Common Council. The plan is to
widen both streets to so feet. They
are now 90 feet.
Tie desirability Of having these
portions of Commercial and Ex-
change streets made broader is, per-
haps, unquestioned. That the work
can be done now at comparatively
slight cost to the city and to the
adjacent property owners is appar-
emily the belief Of those who are fa-
voring the improvement, and it seems
a self-evident proposition that year
by year the cost Of making the
change would but become greater.
If that part Of the city is to be
given over to business pursuits i'll
the years to come, wider streets will
be imperatively required. The pres
ent streets in the center Of the bust
ness portion Of the city are an OBJ
ject lesson, and in the event that the
city were to ever double or treble in
size, the present 60-foot streets-only
90 feet from the property line to
property line-would unquestionably
prove entirely too narrow.

THE OTHER SIDE OF AN
IMPORTANT MATTER
J. E, BUFFUM OF THIS CITY
GIVES HIS ACCOUNT OF
HIS TILLAMooK ERRAND

4 ], f. Butfum, representing the
/ Oregon Coast Electric Railway sub.
mits the following in response to the
recent account OF his contact with the
| lTillamookians in regard TO their in
terest in the extension OF that line to
| Tillamook City from out this county;
TO The Astorian;
Replying to the clipping from the
Tillamook Headlight as published in
your paper Of the 9th, | wish to say: 1t
seems hardly fair for the citizens Of
Tillamook to allow report of a
meeting Of the business men OF the
nature Of the one mentioned to be
circulated at large in such an erron-
Gus manner The writer was present
at meeting as mentioned and all due
courtesy was extended and although
but two hours notice was given about
20 OF the business men, including Mr..
Maker, manager, editor and typo, of
the Headlight, were present 1t was
generally conceded that owing to the
fact that Tillamook had already made
a gift Of $4,000 with a promise Of an
other $4,000 to one railroad that an
additional $4,000 although to be re-
turned would be an impossible sum
to raise.
In talking the matter over with
one of the leading business men he
said, owing to the fact that Tilla-
nook has only about one-sixth as
much bank deposits as Astoria it
would therefore be as hard to raise
$4,000 at Tillamook as would be TO
raise $4,000 at Astoria. This fact com
ing from banker and with the fact
above stated that alreaGy a gift Of
an amount equal to per cent of the
deposits Of the county had been made
one-halt OF which was still unpaid
the writer thought it useless to at
tempt to form company at this time.
But to the manager, editor and typo
of the Headlight we wish to mention
that in no city, large or small have
we received more consideration and
more courteous treatment and a
heartyhearty goodwill than from
the progressive business men Of Til
lamook and especially to the Astoria,
Seaside & Tillamook Railway Co

tors bonnet. Respectfully,

ADJUSTMENTS

One swallow does not make a sum
mer, neither does one comedian
make minstrel show Managers OF
the old school used TO contend that
one real actor, and Is or 10 sticks, "
and a band OF ten pieces (it was often
eight, was sufficient for minstrel
show; that the public would be amply
satisfied and history proves the truth
Of their contention, for the public
would accept them, whether they we're
satisfied or not.
But there has been a vast change
in the last few years, the day OF the
one man show is over, the public de-
mand company OF uniform excel
lence, and every actor must be an
artist.
Mistakes to the wise man are but
stepping stones to success, and the
managers Of Richards & Pringle's
Famous Minstrels were the first to
realize that il Minstrelsy was to live
and flourish, radical and important
changes were necessary. These
changes called for vast outlay Of
money but their success has well
justified their conviction.
Today they stand the acknowledge
ed leaders in this branch Of the
amusement business, and no well
informed student Of the stage will
challenge this statement.
