Dough Day" a Sad Affair.

Yesterday was dough day" at Tam
many Hall II was a rather sad affair.
No one would give any sort of idea as to
how much money went TO each district,
but there were reports that the total
amount distributed was from $4,000 TO
100000 1t might have been less. for not
i'm years has money been SO scarce at the
Hall, according to inside Information
Leaders did not linger long at the Hall,
as they did not care 20 discuss their
prospects with Boss Murphy.
Regarding the political situation, Ma
than Straus said last night:
The Democratic ticket is sure to win.
Every name on il is that of a man who
can command the respect and the vote
OF every decent citizen Of the metropolis.
If the election is to be decided on the
merits presented by the Democratic
nominees they are bound to win almost
without a struggle This is particularly
true Of the candidates nominated for
the judiciary. The criticism of those
who oppose them is decidedly captious
and deserves to add TO rather than de-
crease their majority"
At Republican headquarters there was
Just enough money 10 pay for the work
ers in each election district but none
TO STARE.
Congressman William NJ. Calder chair
man of the Kings County Republican
Committee, said last night that fusion
would have sweeping victory there
II believe" he said, that the entire
county ticket, the three judiciary candi-
rates, thirteen out of twenty-three AS
semblymen and fifteen out Of twenty
four Aldermen will be elected by us
There is also good chance Of getting
four more Assembly seats"
II was up to John II. McCooey to say
something that would put some heart
into the discouraged Democratic leaders,
90 he said this:
"All my reports indicate that We will
carry the county by q substantial major
It, for our entire county and judiciary
tickets. There is no doubt that a major
fly of the Assemblymen and Aldermen
elected in Kings County will be Demo-
Gratis"
And then, just TO show how much inn
portance might be attached to his re-
marks, Mr.. McCooey added
The reports that l receive from out
side indicate that the Assembly will he

The lockout OF the members of the Anal

two hundred and fifty buildings because of
their refusal TO declare off the strikes on
