HEW YORK’S BIG
POLITICAL FIGHT
David B. Hill and Richard Croker Are
the Rival Aspirants for Leader
ship In New York.
BOTH PRETEND TO BE HOPEFUL
Beth Men Are Sparring for Position,
Anxious To Take Advantage of
Any Chance That Conies.
By Robert Adamson.
New York, August 19 —(Special.)—lt Is
wisest t<» keep withlni the plain facts, turn
ing neither to the right nor the left for
deduction or prophecy in try inn to convey
some Idea of the political situation In New
York .
This Is the green stage of the campaign,
peculiarly fatal to prophets. ITeJudice, pre
dilectlon, pressure and the othi r agencies
of popular selection have not vet given
th 3 slightest direction to the general sen
timent and to say that David B. .

or that Richard Croker will control them
Is a statement spun <>f fancy.
This is the fascinating moment of doubt
end so far as Mr. Hill atnd Mr. Croker are
concerned they are in exactly the same

In power for three years and a half to
come, rules over Brooklyn now. He would
be a short-siglhted political leader, per
haps. who failed to see greater practical
benefits in an 'alliance with such a. power
ful local influence as Tammany Hall than
in a partnership with David B. Hill, even
should the latter win.
Mr. MeDaughlin was not born yesterday,
nor is he a docile youth. Seventy-six rug
ged winters and many years of rugged rul
ing have imparted a quality of delibera
tion to his movements which some people
might call stubbornness. He can’t It hur
ried into action, no, not by all the com
bined powers, and when his decision comes
it will not tie a sentimental one. True, it
back and vou will find that it is on the
sid.' of the most benefits for his organ
ization. And as the most benefits seem to
li on the Croker side of the '.em-e, I in
cline to the belief that Brooklyn and lam
many will for once vote in ntirnioiiy in <i
state convention. And 1 am almost willing
to venture i prophecy here that In that
event the man who will be named lor
lieutenant governor will live In Brooklyn
and offset at. the polks such popularity .is
the present popular lieutenant governor,
Timothy )<. YVoodtuff has in that city, bls '
home.
The Strength of Mr. Hill.
Up tlhe state Mr. Hill ought to have It
pretty much Ids own way, except tor such
opposition as Senator Murphy may gi\e
him. Senator Murphy is not un opnlar. al
though he is in no sense a. strong ba.Lt.
He will Hud it dillieillt, however, to rally
Votes which are ultimately to be pla
in the same basket with T’.imm.iny s. Hid
with Ids months of tireless planning ami
organizing, will not be dismissed at. th”
state convention with u wave of Hie hand,
not even if the hand is Croker’s. He Is
still the. master of strategy and organiza
tion Bo spends eighteen tireless (hours ev
rv day studying the situation, and ho has
been. " doing It for many months
past. He has not been sleeping

Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Mil
itary Bark, Ga., August 17. —Rarely In the
history <>f a gr-at nit ion whose tenden
eixts are towaid pence, and not war, is
there an opportunity for such a display
of military splendor as that witnessed at
Camp Thomas today.
Tin occasion was tiiat of the review ot
General Breckinridge’s entire command,
including cavalry, artillery and Infantry,
together with the ambulance companies of
Hie respective divisions and the signal
corps. Fully ■14,000 soldiers pastsed the re
xi" ying stand betvvi • n 9:45 a. m., the start
ing hour, and noon. Tlie day was an Ideal
one for so gi"at an event. dKiere was n
cl"iir sky, but a refreshing breeze tem
pered the heat, which otherwise might
have can.- ’ d some of the men to be over
com. and drop out.
Th- throng of spectators, various esti
mated at from 30,000 to 60,W0, that lined
the . rest of Sli'.ilgraps hill from one end
to the other of tile far-reaching Dyer
field, found its position early in tlie morn
ing and waited, anticipating the pay antry
that was approaching.
Tim wonder of all minds that had given
the matter any thought from a military
standpoint was tiiat such a well tra ned
and diseipiined army could liave been made
from raw men within tiir.-e months’ time,
l-lsii’ni'.’.l military men thought it won
det'ul, and yet marveled not at the possi
bilities "f Ameri: in young manhood.

He said tlie whole matter would be

time and the necessity for the proposed

hoped that the subject would not be .
treated in any partisan style.
Senator Bacon came to W.'sli gton on j

tel- which he discussed with the president f
was the desire of the Third Georgia r.gi- I
ment to remain in the service. He told the I
president that he had telegrams from otli- j
eors of the regiment expressing their will- '
ingr.css to go to Santiago or anywhere else ;
and the president said he was much grat
ified at the spirit they showed. He told
Senator Bacon that it had not yet been
determined what regiments wifuld be mus
tered out. lie did say positively, however,
that no such rule had been adopted as that
tiie last mustered In should be the first
mustered out. A good many things must
be considered.
