On the Tammany side there wa* none Oreut &u>on*a« Mghl but McClellan, eon of “UtUe Mac." who for a time led the union armies In the late war. McClellan Is personally an excellent man. small and slender, Inoonsplruoue. easy-going, hail-fellow-well-met with politicians, though not much reaembllng the usual Tammany bra»e. But there was objection In Brooklyn. Veteran Hugh McLaughlin, born some years before Charlie Murphy, the new luader of Tammany. Insisted that McClellan was neither big enough nor In- • dependent enough to get a rote there worth counting In an erll hour some smart Aleck suggested to Murphy that It would be a fine trick to steal Grout and Fornas. both democrats, both sound and honored men. from the fusion ticket It was done.

The crisis With the septed U. It Is plain now that tbs thing to 4s was to Ignore It, refuse It. Not to do so was an error of lemperasnenL Mr. Grout Is sheer Intellect. He has one of the keenest brains In New York. He Is a master of dialectic. But he Is thin. cold, bloodless, devoid of humor. He Is mare Incapable of seeing ' • logical point than of guessing whai hot-blooded men will do or think In a given case. He was emeted when the men who had made his record a part of their campaign and platform turned

Now McLaughlin repudiates ths fonnsr McLaughlin eandldit*. ths reformers repudiate the reformer, and Individual Tammany braves seem about to repudiate the prise Tammany stole with such rejoicing. I cannotqulte Join In the eborusof dispraise which all the parties and factions are swelling. There Is something pathetic In the sight of so much ability and public service thus ended by another man's dirty trick. Fornee no one blames ao much. He Is of but average ability, new In politics and followed ths lead of ths veteran Grout He will be forgiven. Grout may be. but It will take time and dexterity to accomplish It The argument that democratic ■ cess Is necessary to put tbs party shape for next year has fallen flat The Independent democrats reply that the worst thing that could happen for th« party. If It wishes to carry the state next year, would be to have Tammany win the city and begin another far-adver-tleed orgy of criminal mlsgovemment Tammany Is no mors democracy than theft Is Industry. The CeagJMer Blahe*. Rt Rr» Henry Cod man Potter, bishop of the Eplacopallan diocese of New York, comes of s solid old family In this city. He la the uncle of James Brown Potter. whose wife became an actress; kin to Orlando Potter, owner of the Potter building. which burned with terrible loee of life 10 years ago and was replaced — with one of the ^ K a,M ' first “sky-scrapers;" of FTaifk Potter, tbs singer. He became Coadjutor Bishop to his father many years ago. and followed in the greater cOce upon the elder’ man’s death. Rev. Dr Greer, who baa refused more bishoprics perhaps than any other cleric In ths country, becomes coadjutor bishop and will succeed to the full office, for though only eight years younger than Bishop Potter, ha Is In effect very much the Junior of hli chief.
