When, therefore, we consider the actual conditions in the City and State of New York, and recall the historical relation of that municipality and that commonwealth to political battles in the country at large, we can easily account for the Intense interest evjgced by Daniel' M. Campau,' Democratic National , Committeeman for Michigan, and by watchers on the Democratic Zion, in the outcome of the New York Mayoralty election. Before these words meet the reader eye the municipal situation will have been clarified to a certain extent by the conferees of the fusion forces. " ' 4 Under the caption The Financial Logic of the Political Situation, the Boston News Bureau, a financial journal published at the metropolis of Guessing upon Massachusetts, says: Presidential candidates may be considered a little premature. Some people think that the nomination and election of Roosevelt, as predicted, is a trifle premature and that it must be a strong boom to carry a man. from the summer of 1903 to the elections of the fall' 6f 1904. Possibly because nobody else declares it, the Boston News Bureau is willing to cast up the chances and say that Richard Olney has a bet. ter chance of being chosen President of ,he United States at the next election than most people think. Mr. Ol- ney is a retired lawyer, out of politics, from no doubtful State, with no known political aspirations, and his name is not on the lips of men in any part of the country. A Boston merchant, however, from Nebraska recently surprised his friends in the Hub with the declaration that the Bryan silver men of the West will support Richard Olney as candidate of the Democratic party, in the next Presidential contest because he is the only prominent Eastern Democrat who did not repudiate Mr Bryan. If the Democrats of the West say that the man of the East is their candidate, the question that arises is, what doubtful States can he carry?

The doubtful States ar not in New England. They are of course, New York. Ohio and Illinois. The name of Richard Olney as standing for law and order is as potential in Illinois and New York as though he were born in going American citizen standing for the American flag whether waving in Chicago or flung upon a European breeze as in the Venezuelan dispute, there is only one name that stands next to that of Grover Cleveland, and that is the name of Richard Olney. Mr. Cleveland, it is understood, is wanted as the candidate of the financial East. If he cannot be had, a stronger man can be found in Richard Olney if he will only consent to serve as a candidate. It would be a strange mixture, a union of the silver West with Eastern gold, id the Democratic campaign, but such mixtures have the makeup of the Democratic party from top to bottom. In this connection it may be well to give the inside history which made Theodore Roosevelt President.. It was upon the cards to have Wolcott canof Colorado the didate with William McKinley in the last election, but at the last moment it was declared that the Colorado man was not available on the ticket because of the Colorado silver tinge. It was, therefore, at a private conference among the leaders, that the name of Theodore Roosevelt was proposed as better able to open the money boxes in New York for the Presidential campaign. As the politicians of New York wished to shelve Theodore Roosevelt and his name was considered gilt-edg-e he was put upon the ticket. The grief of Wall street to find that the name which was to draw its golden streams to the support of the McKinley ticket in the national contest now stands for the enforcement of law against Wall streets golden combinations, can be better imagined than described. Theodore Roosevelt did his duty of in ordering the Attorney-Generthe United States to enforce the law in the Northern Securities case upon the request of the Governors of the States. Theodore Roosevelt also did his when to save the duty country from threatened disaster from his evalted he, position, practically ordered the coal barons oft Pennsylvania to stop their contest with their employees and give the people coal. But in both these cases, Mr. Roosevelt cut golden streams of political support where a man with less force of character would have exhibited more hesitation. Everybody in Wall street knows who put up the money for Mr. McKinleys election; everybody in Wall street knows who would put up just as many more, millions today to defeat Theodore Roosevelts nomination or election, could a safe man be found to succeed him. Grover Cleveland has always been considered eminently safe. Richard Olney stands for all that is strong in the name of Cleveland. As a- 'vengeance candidate, Richard Olney might unite the most utterly diverse elements of the Democratic party now that silver is no longer the issue. As such he would be the most formidable vice-presidenti- al al . . - candidate against Theodore Roosevelt as he would unite every element of opposition to Roosevelt and would be considered a safe candidate by the solid south, 'the silver Democrats of the west and the gold Democrats of the east.'

Letcher and the balance of the Democrats who have been advocating the idea of not putting a ticket in the field, this fall. A number of the younger element of the party have been holding some meetings of late and have decided that a ticket must be put up at all hazards; that they are entitled to vote the Democratic ticket if they want to and if the party machinery is not set in motion and an. opportunity furnished; they will create one for themselves. Further; that if the city committee is not called together by Chairman John R. Foulks and that, too, right soon, they will investigate and see why it is not convened and if the fault lies at his door his name will be placed on the black list, and in future when he appears before a convention of Democrats he will find it hard sledding to obtain recognition. It is proposed to ask the members of the city committee why they do not do something. If they fail to return satisfactory answers and it is discerned that they too are in a scheme to keep the Democrats from putting a ticket in the field, why then their names will embellish a dark bordered sheet of paper which will be tacked up somewhere where everyone can see it. If the city committee will not convene and call a convention, it is proposed to call mass meetings of the party at large in each municipal ward, elect a new organization and have a convention called to nominate a complete city ticket. J Jt This movement had its .origin over in the Third ward where there is a lot of energetic young Democrats. Every man of them disclaims any idea of securing a nomination for himself or a friend, but they all seem to be possessed with the idea that a ticket should be placed in the field, whether there is any chance for electing it or npt, while not a few of them contend that by placing the very best material JB Jl As' to the mayoralty the Kearns faction is resorting to all kinds of tactics to beat James. Their heelers are spreading scandalous and false reports regarding the private life and character- of Mr. James. This kind of politics is characteristic of a portion of the followers of Mr. Kearns. The decent supporters of the senator would do well to put a stop to it. The plan of the Kearns men is to draw enough votes in the convention from James to prevent his nomination. To accomplish this they are laboring to divert Gentile votes to Mr. Knox and Mormon votes to Mr. Odell. Their man, of course, is Knox, but they know he cant be nominated. Their that as Knox cant succeed, neither aim is to divide up the convention so James or Odell will, and then they could spring an outsider more acceptable to them than either James or Odell. Their pet aversion, however, is James, and their efforts will be mainly directed to defeat him. Their desertion of Odell for Knox is said to have strengthened Odell, as it apparently goes to show that the latter is not tied up to Kearns. - .
