Tammany as an l.mploycr.
There Is another army not In muni
cipal olllce, over which Tammany has
been able to extend Its control, Influenc
ing appointments and extorting liberal
contributions In the way of compensa
tion for Its trouble. The street and "L,"
railroad service has long been under the
political espionage of Tammany. The
Hrooklyn ling, just overthrown, ex
plotted this source of revenue more un
blushlngly than even Tanmtnny. A
year ago every . conductor, brakeman,
station agent, engineer, llivman nnd
employe In the depots and repair shops
was assessed one day's pay, and the re
ceipt for It was a full Democratic ticket
furnished the day before election, with
the injunction that It must be voted.
Deep indignation was aroused In the
men, who were only receiving $2 or lesu
per day, and they vented It by voting
the other way under the protection of
the secret bullot, then well understood
for the first time. Thtjy were not sub
jected to the demand from Wllloughby
street this year. They would not have
paid it, any way.
Tammany In like manner sees now
hnt Its vast army nf small contributors
railroad employes, contractors' la
borers, navies on the docks and others
whose employers expect favors from
the ruling powers, will be free from Its
exactions. These, however, were not
the most Important sources of the Wig'
wani's revenue. In the ten years dur
lng whl('h Tammany's control has been
welded Into a colossal instrument of ex
tortion, it become ns soulless as a Turk'
Ish pasha In extracting money from
those whose calling rendered them ob
noxious to the law. Sir. Ooff Is con
vinced that this levy of blackmail has
reached $IO,OO0.fMH), of which . Tarn
ninny's was the linn's share.
Other Revenue Sources.
Another source of Tammany's reve
nue, not us open to censure, has been
swept njivay by the tidal wave. Its as
sessment of candidates will of necessity
be more modest. Candidates for a
Judgeship will consider $50,ooo too steep
a contribution for a nomination which
may result In defeat. A vast source of
revenue to the Fourteenth street gang
has been left to the last. At the be
ginning: of each campaign hundreds of
men doing business in New York have,
Impelled by various motives, regularly
sent checks for large sums to Tam
many's treasurer. They pave like
amounts to the Republican campaign,
also, but Tammany represented concrete
Democracy, and was lis benollelary.
One who recently kept Taninmny's cash
box stated that these contributions
were the most Important of Tammany's
revenue that could not be brought

f!y the I'nlted I'ress.
Johnstown, Pa., Nov. 14.
jTVdunod Hubert !. Ingersoll, who Is
In the city tonight received a I'nited
Press reporter in his room nt the hotel
and for the Hist time since the election
consented to give, bis views as to the
cause of tlio slump.
"The overwhelming Johnstown dis
aster that overtook the Democratic
party was caused by the blunders of
Cleveland and his administration," re
plied the distinguished agnpstlc. The
Sandwich Islands blunder was the first.
That set the pace. It was uii-Amoiicnn
and almost Idiotic. The Sandwich lsl
andii should be ours. Then the failure
to call a special session of congress
wus another blunder. The Wilson bill
ns first drawn was another, and as it
passod .41 ill another. Cleveland's letter
o Wilon was another blunder t mean
his 'iierlldy and dishonor' letter. So
Qis letter to ditchings was still tin
.;. Then his refusal to sign or veto
wan another blunder, mixed with a lit
tle cowardice. So his throut to keep
working towards free trade was an
other. So the letter of Secretary Car
lisle showing that it was doubtful
whether the government could keep all
Its money as good as gold was an awful
blunder. Turning all the committees in
the house and senate over to southern
Democrats was another blunder; the
general uituok on the pensioners an
other. "Now," continued Sir. Tngersoll,
"when these blunders nre all piled to
gether they account for whut happened.
Trade was demorall.ed; the factories
were closed; people were out of work
and out of food. When people have no
cents in their pockets they begin to
have some in their heads. So the peo
ple of this country got tired of Cleve
land and the Democratic party and
concluded to have a change. .. They used
to think that (ievclund had courage,
but this year he had not bravery enough
to vote the Democratic ticket.
ClevcliiaJ Is Hurled.
"Poor Cleveland," sighed Pagan Hob.
"He Is dead and burled. The mugwump
Idol Is shuttered, and no one sacrifices!
at his altar."
"Who Is the logical candidate of the
Hepubllctin party for president In lS'lti'.'"
Colonel Ingersoll was asked.
"Tom Heed. He would make a splen
did candidate. I think SlcKlnley would
be a good man too. Torn Heed Is a niiiii
of great ability and perfect poise. I
know of no man In the Democratic party
calculated to make a good president, be
I cause the doctrines of the party are bad.
The better the Democrat, the worse the
president."
"Will the next Hepublican 'congress
repeal the Wilson tariff bill 7"
"They won't until they get a presl
d. nt. Then they will Instantly restore
the reciprocity policy. They will have
plenty to do In undoing the harm that
the Cleveland administration 'has
wrought. Our people do not want to
carry protection to excess, but want
tariff enough to raise the revenue wo
need nnd at the same time protect
American workmen unit American
manufacturers. We want to keep our
markets for ourselves." v ' '
Hevertlng again to the recent elec
tion, Mr. Ingersoll snld:
"This election has some large plums
In Its pudding. There Is a certain rap
ture In bidding Mr. llolman good bye;
In saying farewell to Mr. Springer and
adieu to Mr. Wilson, the gentleman
who became such a friend In America
that ho was exceedingly popular In
London. Hut Ihe best of ull, the crown
ing glory of the election was the break
ing of the 'Solid South. This gives
hope for the future."

' Washington, Nov. 14. The commis

the following telegram from Agent Wis
dom, at Muskogee, Indian Territory:
"As l predicted would be the case, the

o'clock last night at P.laekstoim switch,

Nobody killed. Tho courts are utterly

A terrible powder explosion occurred
this afternoon In Abraham Jones' gun
store, resulting in one ileaih,find In
jury to several persons and the! gutting
of the building by (Ire. The disaster
was due to the fool hardiness of John
Washburn, jr., a boy who had hired a

not loaded, and. in proof of his state
ment Hied the gun at a keg of powder
and the explosion followed.
Sylvester 1-yons, clerk in the store,
and two boys, Leonard Fluffen and
Ceorge Atthesoii, who were in the store,
were blown out of the building through
a window. William Persell, superin
tendent of the sicond division of the
Crotou aiteduct, who with a number of
workliignien, were walking along the
luiuduct in the rear of the store at the
time, were severely cut and bruised by
flying bricks and fragments of glass,
in addition Thomas Loftus had his lej;
broken, mid the other workingmen
were more or less bruised. Washburn's
body was found later pinned to the
door by a. big beam.
