Tammany's Uncrowned boss Kules the
Democratic Roost in Gotham.
HEELERS OBEY HIS ORDERS
He Is Trying Earnestly to Patch Up tho
Differences in Tummairy's Internal ,
Economy, but the Outlook Is
Not Encouraging.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
New York, Oct. 22.
Richard Croker has dropped the "ex"
and 1b once more big boss of: Tam
many's destinies. He has not been at
Tammany hull, and probably will not
be found there through the campaign,
but Public Works Commissioners Duly
and Delmour carry his orders and sug
gestions to the proper persons, and
they are acted upon with the old-time
promptness.
It was Mr. Croker who, with Senator
Murphy, put Mr. Grant In the race for
mayor ut the first Intimation that Mr,
Straus would withdraw. It was Mr.
Croker and Senator Murphy who pre
vailed upon Frederick P. Oloott, presi
dent of the Central Trust company,
and Mayor Grant's business partner, to
release him from the business obliga
tions that stood between the ex-mayor
and the acceptance of the nomination,
In politics Croker has always been
something of a conciliator. It was by
conciliation that he brouKht such lead,
erg as Henry I). Purroy, Patrick Keen
nn, John M. Voorhis, the late Daniel
O'Kellly and Henry Murray, of the
county Democracy, IntoTammany hall,
Instead of concentrating his forces to
crush them out, which would have
been the policy of John Kelly. It Is as
a conciliator that Mr. Croker Is now do
ing his big work. His services are
needed. Henry V. Purroy's biting sar
casm has started a bitter light between
himself and Mayor Gllroy. The mayor,
or rather the mayor's kitchen cabinet,
are not enthusiastic over Mr. Grant,
and there Is a great deal of bad feeling,
One feature is the defection of Cor
poration Counsel Clark. He and the
ex-mayor have been enemies for two
years. Mr. Clark has not been near
Tammlmy hall nor the various head
quarters since Straus was nominated.
It is to these people that Mr. Croker If,
going to daily and saying:" If we don't
hang together we are likely to hang
separately."
Mr. Croker spends a couple of hours
each day at state headquarters, and
the remainder of the time fixing up the
damaged fences of Tammany. That he
is again In the saddle is now known all
through the organization.

determined fight to capture these six
votes and paying more attention pro
bably to that than to the actual ma
Jorlty of the total membership of the

In, and It was with difficulty that Riley
was saved from lynching by the in
furiated men. He was conveyed to the
lockup followed by tho mob of Italians.

said he wished he had had another half
minute before being discovered and he
would have blown the place up.

General Hastings and Party Arc Given
a Great Ovation.
IVE iMOXSTEK MEETINGS HELD
Voters of the Suburbs Turn Out in Thou.
sunds to Greet the Speakers Speeches
Mudc at the Frothinghara
and the Armory.
If the outpouring of the voters of
this city nnd Its vicinity yesterday to
henr General V. 11. Hastings and other
state candidates and representative
Republicans of the state discuss the
Issues of the campaign is any true in
dication of tho way the political tide
Is flowing, Lackawanna county will
give the Republican state and county
tickets bigger majorities than tho dis
tinguished veteran, Oalusha A. Grow,
received a few months ogo; a vote
which gnve tho first nccurnte Intima
tion of tho way political sentiment is
drifting among- the thrifty, hustling
people of this valley.
From tho time that General Hastings
and his companions arrived in this
city at 1.07 yesterday afternoon until
he retired last night ho wns the re
cipient of one continuous ovation. At
Providence, West Side and South Side,
citizens turned out en masse and made
the air resound with cheers, for Hast
ings, Latta, Grow and the other state
candidates.
It Is years since such earnest, enthu
siastic public meetings have been held
In this city.
All of the suburban meetings were
largely attended, and last night the
Frothlngham was thronged and the
armory comfortably filled with all
classes nnd conditions of men. Many
ladles also graced the occasions with
their presence, a circumstance which
proves the growing Interest of the
women of the land In matters political
and the widespread interest that Is
felt In the approaching battle.
Escorting tho Speukcrs.
Although nothing in the nature of a
street demonstration had been ar
ranged for the evening, large delega
tions of citizens gothered at the Wyom
ing, and headed by Guth's and Bauer's
bands, escorted the speakers to the
place where the meetings were to be
held. Charles Emory Smith was the
first speaker at the overcrowded Froth
lngham, and he paid a handsome trib
ute to Scranton. v He said the object
lesson he had received during his after
noon drive about the city would never
be effaced, and he would go back to his
duties as editor of; a Pennsylvania
newspaper better equipped for his
work by reason of his visit here and
with a firm belief In the future of the
marvelous Klectrlc City.
General Hastings was the first speak
er at the armory, and although suffer
ing from acute hoarseness held the
close attention of his audience through
out his discourse. He closed by sol
emnly declaring- that if elected to the
office of chief magistrate of this im
perial commonwenlth he will, enforce
the law without reference to any class,
creed or interest.

dreds of people went to the station or
secured sightly standing room along
Lackawanna avenue. It was an or
derly crowd, composed principally of
mecnanlcs, laborers and well known
business men of the city, who, while
waiting for as glimpse of the distin
guished soldier and candidate, jostled
and elbowed each other on nn equal
and good natured: plane. The most
conspicuous and dense portion of per
sons surged about the station platform
and on the square. The Interest and
enthusiasm, good humor and numbers
was considered a happy omen and one
which bore particularly upon the vote
of election day, and was all the more
gratifying In view of the fact that the
arrival of the train occurred simul
taneously with the dinner hour.
General Hastings and party left Phil
adelphia early in the morning via the
Pennsylvania road to Manunka Chunk,
where they 'changed to the Lacka
wanna road and occupied seats in the
regular chair car.
Hustings First to Descend.
When the train steamed Into the sta
tion the Republican candidate for gov
ernor was the first to descend from the
car. His tall, broad stature nnd ruddy
face crowned with the familiar gray
Blouch hat was Immediately recognized
nnd brought forth a round of deafen
ing cheers. He was greeted by Major
Everett Warren, of this city, president
of the State League of Republican
clubs, and a largo reception committee.
The hero of the Conemaugh and Johns
town did not show in his countenance
any fatigue or loss of energy as a con
sequence of the work and travel of the
vigorous campaign.
Jovially and with no show of for
mality he introduced his distinguished
companions as follows: General James
W. Latta, candidate for secretary of
Internal affairs; Charles F. Warwick,

J. Stewart, of Norrlstown; General

On his way to the carriage nt the
depot entrance General Hastings was
halted by a score or more or woi-King-
men, who chose that opportunity for
giving a handshake and receiving one
In return. Bauer s band rendered sev
eral selections while the party entered

residence of Major Warren on juadt

PAY
ENOUGH
Some people are too anxious to vara
When buylnx a watch, thinking that a
cheap watch will do as well on a Rood ono,
and that all the difference In watches is
the price. May be that It rcqulrod a
moral ofYort on your part to pay us HO for
a plain looking but honest timekeeper,
when somebody else generally offers you
a gold watch for and Just for t?oot
netts sake throws In a itold chain and
charm. Of course It Is all a "tame
schwlndle," as the Jew said when he weat
up in the balloon and couldn't Und the sil
ver IlnliiR of the cloud. It happens every
now anil then that a person sends off for
a gold watch, Rets It, and then loses faith
In watches and humanity for ever and
ever. Wo think it would pay you to cull
on us and see If we huve what you want,
end If wo can't suit you at all out of a
large stock of wutcheo, why It Is time
enough then to wild out of town for a
gold watch.
