Ooler For Governor, Sullivan Tam many Boss, Hill For President. Judge Parker’s Ifame Trifled With While Hill Was Perfeeting the Heal, Devery Rejoices at Oder’s Selection and Becomes a F u ll Fledged Tammany Leader. Bird S. Oder has been nominated for governor by the Democrats. This is the direct result of David B. Hill’s or ders, carrying out an agreement be tween himself and Hugh McLaughlin of Brooklyn and Tim Sullivan, the boss of the so called “gamblihg combine” In Manhattan. Hill, refusing to consider Judge Par ker, whom a great majority of the delegates favored, has kept the Demo cratic organization in such shape that he can control it in 1904, Devery, the notorious, who is talked of to be come Croker’s successor, is happy. The Biyan men were ignored com pletely, and, in the words of Senator MeCaiTen at Hill’s harmony meeting, they were told to “go ’way back and sit down.” The eonventiou was controlled abso lutely by Hill. He named the candi dates, he wrote the platform. Holding tliat Devery’s pai’ticipation would do more harm than good, he ruled that, voters in his district had G lected'liinii'^at made. ferenee, and he assumed the responsi bility of disfi-auchising them. He did it with that unconcern with which he would have given orders to steal a state senate. Tlie convention was cut and dried weeks in advance. Hill was the whole thing. * * Hill had known for weeks that Coler was to he nominated. On 3ept. 5 last the New York newspapers published accounts of a meeting in New York of Hill, Coler and Tim SuUivau. The New York Tribune on the date named outlined the Hill-Coler-Sullivan deal in these words: “ ‘Big Tim’ Sullivan yesterday ao- compliBhed the greatest feat of his po litical career. He met ex-Seuator Da vid B. Hill at the Hoffman House and persuaded him definitely to acceirt Bird S. Coler as candidate for governor on the Democr.atie state ticket this fall. Coler’s name heretofore has been on the slate in a tentative and ‘shrinking’ manner. Sullivan and Hill have scratched it in so that it won’t readily rub off. “This most remarkable political com bination Of the decade is expected by its framers to furnish the following results: “Sullivan to deliver the Tammany delegation to Hill for Color. Coler, if elected, to declare for Sul livan .as the leader of Tammany Hall. “Sullivan to dictate the m ayoralty ticket next fall, sAveep the L oav admin istration out of poAver and secure con trol of the police department of this city. This will restore the gamblers to power in Tammany Hall aii(I.furiiisli Sullivan and his particular friends am ple reward for their labors.” The game may have been begun months before that. On Jan. 13 last the NeAY York Times, a Democratic paper, said in a news article, “Bird S. Coler was practically decided on for governor by Mr. Hill, Mr. Sheehan and Mr. Belmont and their friends in the next Democratic state convention.” At that time Mr. Sheehan had just become prominent as the leader of the Greater NeAv York Democracy, and Mr. Hill saAV fit to make a working agreement with him. By September Mr. Sheeban was in danger of defeat by DeA'ery, and Mr. Hill conferred not with him, but with air, Sullivan, the real leader of Tammany, who expects through his agreement with Hill to put Tammany into power, with him self a t its head. Campaign headquarters were opened with a flourish last spring, and the newspapers at the time published the reports that Mr. Coler had raised the money, about <i;30,000, for the prelim inary work of this new departure. M h Coler is a rich man. He is a brokei*and hanker and has recently or ganized' the Guardian Trust company. He is prdfident of that, with a capital of $2,000,W^'0. He is also president of what is cfWIed the Sandstone trust, which is alsrf capitalized at $2,000,000, although it is lumored that he will re sign from these companies that he may free himselvf from the cry which his party proposes to make against all corporations. Jusfi what argument Mr. Coler and his frierlds will make to re lieve him from the “odium” of con nection with truBls it is hard to see. He is tied up wiflh many large trusts Mr. Coler is a preeminent figure in the City Trust compaaiy and has also close relationship with the Morse-Carroll group of financiers, which once con trolled the ice tfiust. Color was city; comptroller under Van Wyek and gaijiGd a reputation as a reformer because he attacked Croker. He AATOte an asticle on “Commercial ism In Politics,” which was a hitter attack on Tammany. Later, when he wanted the TamUiany nomluation for mayor, he Avas willing to retract whati ■ iie had said and. “ squared” hiinself with Croker and Tauimany in a signed address, complaining’ that b© hnd been misrepresented. This wds on Aug, 26, 1901. In it be said, ^Excepting in hu mor I have never fnade any state ments reflecting upon SSr. Croker.” This Dpen attempt t o 'V ^ Crokeifa ratmoti ftlter preifloi^ iknuncig^ tion lost Mr. Coler the support of the independents, while it disgusted Tam many. Both his friends and enemies took it as conclusive evidence that he was Avithout real staying qualities and would trim his sails to catch any wind that might bring him a nomination. Since that hour newspapers and voters Who Imd previously supported him have refused to do so. The New York Evening Post and the NeAA' York Times, both Democratic pa pers, were early admirers of Coler when he began opposing Tammany Hall. Their comments now show the entire drift of sentiment among those who are not blind partisans. The Post said on Oct. 2: “With many others, we had bright hopes of Mi’. Coler when he first came to public notice as comptroller of this city, blocking the path of the indecent Ramapo plotters. But Mr. Coler him- pleasiug eagerness fer politicaT “Am I to be a 1 self AA'as the oue to disabuse the minds of the clear sighted of the notion that he might be of the stuff of which true reformers are made. In the first place, he immediately developed a most un- ic reward, reformer for nought?” was his tacit, almost his open, ques tion. He established a “litei-ary bu reau,” and of all bad symptoms in a pub lic man this is oue of the most alarm ing. He set about making himself known—not only knoAvn, but cheaply notorious. No reporter applied to him for an inter\’iew in vain. No sensa tional editor but could command a contribution from his pen. No Tam many picnic, no county fair, got a re fusal when it inAdted him. And in all his public appearances and utterances there was a note of overAveening desire for political advancement. “He angled for nomination as mayor, either by Tammany or against, he cai-ed not which, and wondered a t the fastidious people Avho thought it made any difference Avhich; or as governor, whether by or agalust a boss—it was all one to him. He has long been, in short, that most undesirable of candi dates, the uncommonly anxious one. “Mr. Coler, moreover, has shown iiicb -instability of judgment and so -ft nersonal grasp on either prin ciples or the practical duties of a pub lic serAmnt that he caiTa’rd’ase^o hope of neAY life for his party. No bn'S^X-., cept those who loA'e to he deceived could imagine him in office anything but a tool of Hill’s. Certainly the ex-‘ senator Is counting upon his being that if he is elected. His nomination is the sufficient proof that Hill considered him the best man 'to choose, as one Avho might make a fairly good run for the gOA'ernorsliip and Avould meekly take orders if he obtained i t Mr. Coler still has, Ave believe, a certain popularity in this city. It is possible, too, that re- leetable Democrats in the interioi state have not found him out, as le, and yet did in 1900—an those nearer by have done, think of him, as they did in 1900—a honest official defying Boss Croker.” * * * The N gav York Times said on Oct. 2: “As against an opponent so formida ble and well intrenched as Governor Odell the Democrats had need to put forward the best and strongest candi date who could be persuaded to take the nomination. * * * We must do full justice to Mr. Coler. There is much to be said to his.credit, and he has unmistakable elements of strength. Elected to the office of comptroller of New York as the Tammany candidate and for a time acting with his Tam m a n y associates, he had the moral s the real grit, to break away lem and to oppose with all the )wers of his office the consummation courage, from them and to oppe of coiTupt schemes in which some of their chief men were interested. * * * He was an honest and capable ©fflcei he faitlifully discharged a public tri the more to On that account it w'as the more to be regretted that -when the time came for every good citizen to declare himself against Tammany IMr. Coler put him self in the equivocal position of exhib iting a Avilliugness to accept the Tam many nomination for mayor or, for that matter, the anti-Tammany nomi nation. His vacillation in that public emergency gmvely impaired the good reputation he had made in office. Even his apologists were obliged to confess that he showed weakness of character. There is reason to believe that Mr. Co ler is still highly thought of among up the state Democrats, who are natural ly less attentive to events which pass under the immediate observation of NeAV York city voters.” This idea as to his strength “rap the state” Avas set forth in the Tribune the morning after he was nominated in this terse way: “Mr. Coler has a certain popularity which is strong in Inverse ratio to ac quaintance with him. He would hav« been a much more formidable candi date two years ago than he is today. Then he seemed to haA’^e a certain stead fastness as an opponent of commercial ism in politics. Since then he has ex plained th,at Iris attacks on Croker were a joke, and last fall he coquetted with hotli Croker and the fusionists for a mayoralty nomination. He lacks judgment and poise and by many men of his own party has been denounced as a cheap notoriety' seeker.” The New York World the morning after Coler was nominated had a lead ing editorial on Color, headed “Good, but Not the Best.” In it it said: “In nominating Mr. Coler for gorern- or the Saratoga convention possibly did the best that was practicable. But it is most unfortunate that GoA'ernor Hill did not rise to the great oppor tunity and avail himself of the appar ent dispo.sition of Chief Judge Parker to sacrifice hi.s inclinations and yield to the unanimous wish of the conven tion.” ♦ * ♦ Just why Hill did not allow the con vention to follow its “unanimous wish” is one of the things over which Democrats of the state will undoubt edly hold their OAvn views. The Brook lyn Eagle, which is Democratic, said QjLOct 2: “Democratic politicians who are dis appointed because Alton _B. Parker, chief judge of the New York court of appeals, was not nominated for gov ernor are saying this morning that David B. Hill defeated him by a course of audacious deception and trickery at Saratoga. This has been shOAvn so plainly, according to several prominent leaders, that Parker, who did not want the nomination, has recognized the in jury it Is likely to do him. -with Ms “ii’rom Hill’s headquarters two false hoods emanated on Monday night. The first was the statement giten, out nn the heels of BUl’s Goter btfim t m Chief Judge Parker had written a len ter to a person who would read it in the eorn’ention if occasion required, declaring that he would decline the nomination immediately if he were nominated. The second was the state ment that Parker had authorized Wil liam F. Sheehan to say for him that ■the state committee would receive his dGcliuation Avitliiii tAveiitj-four hours after the adjournment of the conven- “Both statements were Industriously circulated by Hill’s confidential men all that night among the delegates, who were given to understand that Hill had antliorized tliem to he made. “In the meantime Charles S. Preston, the nominee for state comptroller, who headed the delegation from Ulster county, declared that Parker ‘would rather have the seven year itch than the nomination,’ and that he would cer tainly decline it. Preston’s nomination depended on the overthrow of the Par ker sentiment, both men hailing from the same county. “The truth about these matters is, according to sound authority, that Par ker did not write to anybody a letter containing the statement that he would refuse to run if nominated, that he did not inform Sheehan that he would de cline, nor did Sheehan say to Hill anybody else that he did, and that Preston had no anthority from Parker to talk about his intentions. “All allegations intended to prov that Parker Avonld not run if nominal ed were canards of Hill manufacture. They were given out to clear the way for the Coler boom, wMch had up to that time been completely obstructed by the OA'erwhelming sentiment in fa- A’or of Paxher’s nomination.” It is further said that Hill jiever asked Judge Parker to run and that all the sentiment for Parker at Sara toga would have resulted In his selec tion if Hill had not been carefully car rying out his scheme, cooked up with Tim Sullivan, weeks or months ago by which SnlliA'an is to hold control of Tammany. M'ill, Hill hold the state or ganization for 1904? Devery _was one of the features of the Democr-atic conA'ention. Wherever he went he was a lion. He did not get his .seat in convention, hut he is one of the jAowers of Tammany \Hall all the same, aiid aothlng hut Hill’s absolute conti'ol of the conATSfion ^ p t him out. The Tammany leaders in New York city recognize Mm, for he kHOAVS them all—their good and their had points—and they dare not do other wise. The way is open for him to compete Avith Sullivan for the mastery, and he is in line to support Coler, doubtless looking to possible support at Albany if Coler should win. Devery was quoted in the New York World, which is supporting Coler, on Oct. 2 as follows: “We AVill AA’in everything. We got th e m a n w e w a n te d fo r governor.” In the New York Journal of the same *ate Devery also said: “Why, if I had a chance, I’d have nominated Coler. He Avas my man.” So it is easily seen that Coler’s “re form’-’■deas i hai'e not struck terror to the heart of Big Bill, and if Coler were to win Devery, as oue of his suppoift- ers, would gain a long ad\'anee in his aspirations to become the niler of the T a m m a n y organization. A vote for Coler will please DeA’ery, it Avill please Tim Sulllva»» it will flease Hill, and it will please all the g r a f te r s w h o AA-ant T a m m a n y to w in next y e a r.

Thousands Of people actually think themselves to death eyery year by al lowing their minds to dwell on morbid subjects. As a rule, the thought that kills re lates to something the indiyidual ffreads more than anytliing else in the world. There Is the germ of fatal thought in ninety-nine persons in eyer -ing been inoculated with the lymph of optimism or philosophy. The idea that one has some incipient hundred, and the exception is only proof against:ainst thehe thoughthought diseasesease by having bef t t di disease in one’s system, the thought of financial ruin, that one is getting on in life Avithout improA'ing prospects—any of them or a thousand similar thoughts may carry a healthy man to a premature grave. A melancholy thought that fixes itself upon one’s mind needs as much ' “doctoring” as physical disease. It needs to he eradi cated from the mind or it will haA'e just the same result as a neglected disease would have. The thought dis ease sometimes cures itself after run ning its course; so does smallpox. But who would settle down to suffer from smallpox and chance recovery, as thou- inds of foolish persons settle down to very one’s possession, companions—cheaper than drugs and the thought disease, Avhich has at- store in every one’s possession, bright tacked them, do its worst? ^ be resisted to the utmost, ! patient should be physicked by cheerful thoughts, of which there is a •ery melancholy thought, bid notion and every naggini ry• shouli and the p every morbid notion and every nagging wor- idd to the ub should be resiste pleasanter. There have occurred seoi-es of dozens of cases whei-e healthy persons have thought themselA'es into, having tumors and cancers—cases Avliich admit of no doubt Avhatever that the diseases re- ■ suited from constant morbid fear. There might possibly be fewer cases of cancer if some great doctors could assure the world that it is not a hered itary disease, but morbid minded per sons on bearing that there is cancer In their familie.s generally do the vei-y Avorst thing they can do under the cir cumstances — they conceive an awful dread that they aa '111 be afflicted with it. They dwell upon the fear constantly, and eA'eiy trifling ailment which trou bles them is at first mistaken for tbe premonitory symptoms of cancer. The morbid condition of mind pro duces a morbid condition of body, and if the disease does happen to be in the system it receives every encourage- mentltff’deA slop. PO U L T R Y p o i n t e r s .

When, late in the dinner, this friend was announced, Mr. Sotbern ex claim e d , “L e t u s all hide u n d e r i table,” and downown theyhey all went save Who remained t s Mr. Sothern hixiiself, av seated. When the tardy guest entered, Mr. Sothern rose and received him with exquisite courtesy, saying, “When your name was announced, my guests, for some unaccountable reason, all hid finder tbe table.” After a few mo ments of discomfort one by one they crept out and back to their seats. I heard from both Mr. Sothern and Mrs. 'Viucent this account of an out burst of fun at a dinner given by him In his parlor at the Revere House: As the guests, ten. in number, were gath ered about the open fire before dinner a stout, pompous waiter, afflicted with short breath, added the last touches to m iui L MLcubu, iiuutru. iu»t Luuuuca lu his dinner table, alreadyjady spread.s Ten one at each plate, and then he left the spre large, square pieces of bread were laced with, mathematical precision Sothern’s face showed only that room to bring the wine. Mr. Sothern saw his opportunity and, calling hie dog, cried: “Tiger, the bread! Quick, Tiger!” And the nimble little gray- hound bounded lightly upon the table again and again as he heard his mas ter’s imperative- “Fetch the bread!” until each piece had been removed to a dark coimer near the fire. Upon the Avaiter’s return all was si lence. The expectant look upon Mr. Sothern’s face showed only that diiiner was awaited. Standing for a moment, bewildered, the waiter, seeing no bread upon the table, hesitatingly turned to the door, then retraced Ms steps to the table, examined it carefully and huiTledly left the room. He soon re appeared with a fresh plate of bread, and again at each plate a piece was carefully placed, and he retired with the empty plate. “Quick, Tiger! Fetch it again! More bread! More bread!” And once more each piece was re- moAi^ed before the graAm • waiter^ reap- tests, and there remained no doubt, lose poor, hungry actors had eaten It! With a look of contempt he an nounced dinner, and after all were safely seated at the table he brought a third plate of bread aud with a fork placed it, with a gesture of scorn, peared, and all were aggin silent, look at the table and one at safely seated at the table he hrougl piece by piece for each person aiid for the host.

There is a Sbii-az wine, clear, golden red liquid that has traveled over the mountain passes on muleback in a huge glass carboy. Among the dessert manna has a conspicuous place. This delicacy is somewhat akxu to nougat; it is studded with walnuts and - almonds and is jaw sticking to the last degree.
