Assistant Corporation Counsel Ward declared
that there waa a record of the filing of the note
of Issue. And so there waa. then, for the
record had been made that morning. After
tearing court. Mr. Spoor went Into Calen
dar Clerk Bocae's offloe and looked oyer
again the September record of notes of

recorded, as Tan Sum told yesterday. On Sat

was a demurrer entered tn the list
of notes of issue, so it appears, and
gwss entered in the record ln line
. as the law clerk who filed the demurrer
paid that amount as fee. The entry was: "88.
Beeves against Bushby at al. James SeheU.
E. M. O. 93." But there Is no fee for the filing
of demurrers, the clerk found, so he scratohed
out the entry and wrote In with a blue pencil:
"Void. Void. Demurrer." Then with bia
blue pencil he made the tooting on each page
3 leas, and marked a big blue "2" over the
"5"lnthe"825"at the end. Then, to make
the total right, he added "S3 " to the fee paid
by Assistant Corporation Counsel Ward, and
rewrote the total "SSio." Mr. Olaeer denies
most strenuously that he la "Inexperienced."
as one of the other clerks in the office declares,
and he is anxious to tell what little he knows
about the " doctored " record.

and would never descend to auch olitlcal

On Stturday morning, two days before the
psnloc of the October term of tha Supreme
Court, the New Tork Xate Journal the official

Monday. At tha end of the long list of mo

No other preferred cause was est down on the
Part III, calendar, and ln the entire calendar
tor the October term there could not be found
another ease from the Department of Taxes and

I willing to stake their professional reputations
on their knowledge of the ordinary provisions
of the Code of Civil Procedure, they referred to
the codo to see if by any chance tney could be
mistaken, for ln all their practice before tha

(And Section 980 reads. "Either party,

Between the lines 313 and 314 had beta in

waa given this interlined case, and the total
number of oases was Ieft275,and the tooting
of the fee column remained S82S. although the
addition of the Roosevelt case msde
the actual total $828. But Assistant
Clerk Olsssr. who affirms very positively that
the reeord baa not been "doctored." has found
another error in the September record, and, as
luck would have It. this error just balances the
Boosevelt error, leaving the total $825. There
One of the coincidences ot the ease, or, at any
rate the clerks in Corporation Counsel Wha
len 's office say it is a coincidence, is that the
record in the Corporation Counsel's office of
monies expended Is a little mixed. In reg
ister No. 3 there Is an entry of S3 expended
for the filing ot the note ot issue ln the
Boosevelt case, and the entry is dated Sept 22,
the dsy after Clerk Boese's office waa olossd
for th tiling of notes of issue for the October
calendar. But, on a blotter sheet", from
which the register record in made, the entry Is
dated Sept 21. Clerk Roaselat who has been in
the offloe twenty-five years, says he mads the
" blotter" entry, and that It Is all right; and
Clerk Costa, who made the register entry, says
he must have made a mistake, mistaking the
date " Sept 22 " at the head of the aheet for tha
date of the Item.
Now that Col. Roosevelt has paid his tax for
1888 in spite of Tammany, and tha plot to
cheat htm out of the Governorship on a techni
cality has been exposed, his attorneys are not
worrying over the result of the certiorari pro
ceedings next week. The caae will come up
on Monday In Part I.. Special Term, on the
motion of Col. Boosevelt for leave to dis
continue the proceedings, brought by his
attorneys, without his knowledge, while he
was fighting before Santiago de Cuba.
Justice Cohen's order, restraining any fur
ther proceeding until after the bearing and
determination on the motion to discontinue
prevents any further trickery by Tammany
offloials. Col. Roosevelt's attorneys are confi
dent that their motion to discontinue the pro
ceedings will be granted, and that will end tha
matter. CoL Boosevelt will be declared a
New Yorker by the Court Should, however.
the motion not be granted, Mr. Root will go
before Justice Sdytb on Tuesday, the day to
which tbe case was adjourned by Justice Daly,
and will expose the whole ot Tammany's at
tempted fraud and move to strike the case from
the calendar. Mr. Root believes the case will
be out of the courts within a week and that
Tammany will be heartily glad when it is.
The following letter Is self-explanatory:

book on Monday afternoon, after the
case had come up ln court, and dis
covered that the record had been al

which has been used for another tax' ease
where tbe entry required ditto marks only, as
tbe title was the same a the case on the line
above It The other ease had been Interlined,
but no number had been given to It although

Ju Hand nonry D. Pufroy, an Old
Tammany Man, Is Out for tha Ticket.
As aaeh day passes the Republican man
agers below the Bronx take additional step to
demonstrato to the Republicans and Indepen
dents fa all tha up-State districts that the Re
publicans and Independents In New York city
are working aids by aide In the com pie test
harmony for the election ot Col. Theodore
Roosevelt and the entire State ticket nomi
nated at Saratoga. The latest evidence ot
thla tremendous union of forces to prevent
Tammany control In New York State was the
authoritative announcement yesterday that
on Oct 19 tha Hon. Beth Low and Oen. Ben
jamin F. Tracy will sneak from the same plat
form at a Boosevelt demonstral ton In Brook
lyn. Mr. Low was the candidate of the Cttt
sens" Union for Mayor of Greater New York a
year ago and Oen. Tracy waa the'eandtdate
ot tha Republican organisation forces Sharp
things ware said during that canvass by both
Mr. Low and Oen. Tracy, and at ths tlms
there waa mora or less bitterness of spirit
All thia has departed and the two candidates
for Mayor against Tammany's forces a year
ago are now with their friends and supporters
standing shoulder to shoulder against the at
tempt of tha Tammany-McLaughlin machines
to govern tha State and the Legislature as
well aa New York city.
Tha Demooratlo candidate tor Governor Is
Augustus Yen Wyek of Brooklyn. His broth
er. Robert A. Fan Wyck. is Mayor of the city
of. New York, which is made up of tbe bor
oughs of Manhattan and the Bronx. Brooklyn.
Richmond and Queens. Under the new char
ter governing Greater New York the Mayor of
the city and the Governor ot the State have the
closest possible political relations. With Au
gustus Tan Wyok Governor and Robert A.
Fan Wyok Mayor his term does not expire un
til 1901 Tammany Hall and the McLaughlin
machine ln Brooklyn would dominate in all
State affairs. The McLaughlin machine in
Brooklyn, however, to a great extent has lost
Its Individuality for the reason that the Mayor
Is a Tammanylte. who controls the great pa
tronage of the city. The McLaughlin ma
chine, to a very great extent Is under the
domination of Tammany Hall. The Tam
many State ticket with Augustus Van Wyok
at the head, represents nothing but a deter
mination on the part ot Tammany Hall to
Tammanyize the State. That Is the situation
pure and simple.
Republicans and Independents who have not
een in accord for many years understand fully
the plot of Tammany Hall to secure complete
ascendency in the State, and it is the knowl
edge of this plot that has united all anti-Tammany
forces against Augustus Van Wyck's
election.
CoL Boosevelt, Postmaster Tan Cott and
Henry D. Purror had a long talk at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel yesterdav afternoon. Mr. Pur
roy announced his Intention of oomlng out
.strong and straight for Col. Boosevelt and the
entire Republican State ticket. Mr. Purroy
was one ot Beth Low's chief supporters a year
ago ln the campaign for Mayor. For many
years he was one of the chief sachems ot Tam
many Hall. He is opposed heart and soul to
ths Tammanyixtng ot the State, and within a
few days. It was said, he will make his position
dear as the noonday sun.
The Tammany candidate for Governor. Au
gustus Van Wyck. visitedDemoc ratio State head
quarters lnitbe HoffmanHouse,yesterday, where
he had a long slk with Chairman Patrick Henry
McCarren.. Mr. Mo Darren announced after
ward that Mr. Van Wyok would open his cam
paign in tha Brooklyn Academy of Muslo next
Wednesday or Thursday evening, tha exact
evening to bs determined within a day or so.
The up-State Democrats who have visited
Demooratlo State headquarters within the last
forty-eight hours were more or less amazed to
observe that a great oil painting of Richard
Oroker. Tammany's leader, adorns the recep
tion room ln Demooratlo headquarters. It la
beautifully draped and occupies the place ot
prominence. In Chairman MoCarren's room
there were placed yesterday large paintings ot
Hugh McLaughlin and Senator Edward Mur
phy. Jr. Out in the general reception room a
little dinky picture of former Senator Hill
hangs. The three big paintings ln headquar
ters am those of Richard Croker. Hugh Mo
Laughlln. and Edward Murphy. Jr. Ot course.
there is a campaign picture of Augustus Tan
Wyck.
Frank Campbell. Chairman of the Demo
oratlo State Committee, arrived at the Hoff
man House yeaterday. After a consultation
with Chairman McCarren of tbe Executive
Committee all of the apartments on the third
floor of the Hoffman House on tbe Twenty
fifth street side were hired and will be thrown
open for business within a day or so. Every
thing Is on the most gorgeous scale at Demo
oratlo headquarters. Tammany Is deter
mined to win In this fight if tha greatest ef
forts and the largest expenditures "an bring
about that result Frederiok C. Schraub. who
was Chairman of the Demooratlo Convention
at. Syracuse and who on Tuesday night noti
fied Augustus Van Wyok of his nomination
tor Governor, said yesterday:
"The silver ticket or the Chloago platform
Democracy ticket for State offices will re
ceive leas than 300 votes ln the Btate ot New
York." Mr. Bchraub was the candidate in
1896 for Lieutenant-Governor on the State
platform whioh indorsed the Chicago plat
form of Bryantsm. free stiver and the other
doctrines of the Bryanized Democracy.
Some ot the up-State Democrats, while pro
claiming loyalty to Augustus Van Wyok. said
under; their breaths that If things turned out
right It looked aa though the Demooratlo na
tional ticket ln 1900 would be:
VAM WYCK ASD VAM WTOK.
That is. Augustus Yan Wyck for President
and Robert A Yan Wyok for Vioe-Presldent
In ths event of the election of that national
Demooratlo tloket. Richard Croker's friends
said that ha was to be Secretary of War. This
is not a humorous story. It Is a plain recital
of tha declarations of Tammany men who had
other statements to make. For Instance, in
the event of the election of a Demooratlo
House ot Bepreaeutativee this fall. George B.
MoClelland. now senior Democratic member

Tha ambitions of some of ths Tammany

benefit Tammany Hail and Us ohlef support
ers for years to oome have been planned, and
tha attempt to elect Augustus Van Wyck.
Tammany's candidate for Govern jr. is but the

This situation I ae united all anti-Tammany

The Democratic Judicial Convention tn th
Second district which comprises ths oonntlee
of Kings, Queens. Suffolk. Richmond. Bock
land, Orange, Putnam. Dutches and West
chester, was hM I yesterday In the County
Court House In Brooklyn, and wound up Its
labors la short order. The two nominations,
for the Bunrnme Court bench, to fill ths vacan
eiea caused by the resignation ot Justice Augus
tus Van Wyok to socept tha Gubernatorial
nomination and the retirement ot Justice
Jesse Johnson st tha oloeo of tha year,
were disposed of In accordance With
the decree of Hugh McLaughlin, the
manager of the Sings County Demooratlo
organisation, and were made without the sem
blance of a contest Tha nominees ere both ln
high official harness, one being Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Atmet F. Jenks, of tha bor
ough or Brooklyn, and the other District At
torney Joslah T. Marsan ot Kings county.
Until a few hours before tha meeting of the
convention tho friend ot Col. James D. Bell
were confident that he would get one of ths
places, ami they were grievously disappointed
when word oame from the Walldughby
street auction room that the state did
not bear his name. Col. Bell has been
used to political setbacks during the past few
years, and ho stood this one with his accus
tomed composure, merely remarking: "There

Assistant District Attorney Isnac M. Knppcr
called the delegates to order, and Euitene B.
Travis of Westchester county was chosen per
manent Chairman ana Michael F. McGoldrlck
of Kinjrs. Secretsrv.
Charles H. Hyde, a law partner of Mr. Jenks.
made the nominating speech for the Assistant
Corporation Counsel, nud Frank X. McCaffrey,
who waa appointed an Assistant District Attor
ney on Tuesday, nominated Mr. Marean. his
chief. Both nominees were describod as fully
measuring up to the requirements of the high
office and aa stalwart Democrats.
In seconding the nomination of Mr. Jenks
Augnst Ileynert. a Queens county delegate,
said: 'Lot us nominate this man and we will
show tho Republicans that we are able to put
un as good a light as did Dewey at Manila and
Schley at Saratoga. "
There waa an outburst of laughter over Mr.
Reyncrt's mistake, and he quickly substituted
Santiago for Saratoga. No other nomination
was made and Messrs. Jenks and Marean were
declared the unanimous choice of the con
vention. This resolution, offered by John M. Dagney of
Westchester county, was adopted:
Itrinlmt, Thst it 1. with deep resrret that the bar of
the Hecnnil Judicial Department et the fitaU of New
York is obliged to low the valuable i.rvioe. of that
le.rnfd and alii" jurist. Augustus Van Wyck, who has
so ablr dispensed Juatloe In this department for th.
past fourteen yean.
AVfoh-nf, That we find conaolation in the fact that
he ha. been called by hla party to Mrv. in a wider
field the pcoplo of th.Empir. State.
A committee composed of a representative
from each county called upon the candidates
and formally notified them of their nomination.
Mr. Jenks and Mr. Marean have long been
leading members of the Kings county bar and
Srimn favorites with the Democratic managers.
Ir. Jenks was originally a Republican, but
aftor the Blalno campaign became a convert to
Democracy. He served as Corporation Counsel
during the administrations of Mayors Chapin
and Boody. and was Judge Advocate General
on Gov. Flower's staff. He has been Assistant
Corporation Counsel for the borough since con
solidation. Mr. Marean hnd never held any
official office until his election as District At
torney last November. Mr. Jenks and Mr.
Marean will not have to resign their present
offices. Their Republican judiciary competi
tors will be Justice Jesse Johnson and ex
Senator Charles H. Russell or Fred A. Ward.
The Republican Convention la to be held to
morrow. OXAJT TO OO BACK TO ALMANT.
Tammany s Only Real Orator to Be Re
nominated as State Senator.
Senator Thomas F. Grady, whose long ab
sence from the Tammany fold, when be was
most needed, brought him Into such disfavor
with hla chief. Mr. Croker. that it has been
common talk for eeveral days that he was to be
turned down tor good and all. Is to have an
other chance. It was positively asserted by
leaders in a position to know, at Tammany
Hail yesterday, that Grady will be renominated
for the Senate from his old district, tha
Thirteenth, this year. Grady Is bank and on
deck once more, full ot hla old-time enthusi
asm, and as anxious and willing to wag hla sti
ve r ton cue as of yore. Mr. Oroker has forgiven
him. and there is great rejoicing among the
rank and file as a consequence, for in the
whole organisation there Is not a man who oan
count so msny friends aa the silver-tongued
orator.
There ts little doubt that Mr. Oroker waa in
fluenced to lenity ln the case of Orady as
much by ths fact that he needs ths man as by
his old-time friendship for him. In all Tam
many Hall there is but one orator to-day, and
that one la Thomas F. Orady. Orady tilled the
place held so long by Bourke Oocfcran. after
that gifted gentleman was frozen out by Mr.
Croker six years ago. and the Tammany mea
are ot the opinion that he has tilled It well.
Croker has never had a man In Albany who has
given so much satisfaction aa Grady, and to
drop Grady would have been to drop a man
whose sboee oould not be filled by any man in
the organization to-day.
It was current talk before Orady fell from
grace that he was slated for tbe appointment
to succeed John Whalen as Corporation Coun
sel, when Whslen was nominated for the Su
Sreme Court bench, but now It Is said that
r. Croker never ban an Idea ot taking, him
away from Albany. It Is all settled nowrbow
ever, that Gmdy is to be renominated, and tha
various Individuals who have bean scrambling
for his shoes, ever since It became known that
Mr. Croker was displeased with him, will have
to wait a little longer for their chanea.

Archie Sanders Delivers Ills Delegates en
the Fourth Ballot The Ifomlne De
feiMts His Pre. flag Bill Southwick
Renominated for Congre at Albany.
Albion. N. T.. Oct. 5. There Is no doubt that
to-day's Senatorial Convention for the Forty
fifth district here was in a measure out and
dried, settled and dictated ln advance, but It
came near to miscarrying. Tha united opposi
tion to tho nomination of Ellsworth made It
embarrassing for Archie D. Sanders of Oeneeee
to deliver his delegates In return for the promise
of the Internal Revenue Oolleotorshlp, and It
looked at one time as though L'Hommedleu or
Sanders would have to take the nomination to
keep the peace. The convention was deferred
for several hours and was finally called at 2
o'clock. The twenty-one delegates represent
ing Orleans. Niagara, and Oenesee coun
ties were all present The vote was
taken by roll call. For three ballots tha
seven Genesee men voted solid for Sanders,
and tho seven Niagara men for Ellsworth
and the seven Orleans men for L'Hommedleu.
When Oenesee was reached on the fourth
ballot Percy Hooker ot the delegation arose
and. saying that Oenesee realized the full
responsibility resting with her and tha posi
tion ln which the delegation was placed, de
sired, nevertheless, to withdraw the name of
Mr. Sanders. The delegation was then polled,
and voted solid for Ellsworth, giving him four
teen votes. When Orleans county was reached
District Attorney Slmonds moved that tha
nomination be made unanimous, snd the Or
leans delegation was not polled. The State
and national platform and the State candidates
were Indorsed, and the country congratulated
on the conclusion ot the war with Spain before
the Demooratlo party had a chance to declare
the war a failure. Timothy E. Ellsworth, tha
nominee, was then introduced, and said ln
part:
"In accepting this renomtnatlon I wish to
say that what I nave done as your representa
tive in the Senate has been with a view to
serve not only the Republican party, from
wbloh I received my commission, but, so far aa
In me lay. to serve the people ot the whole dis
trict ot whatever party, and the people of ths
whole State outside as well aa inside the dis
trict. In so far as I have succeeded I take this
Eenomlnatlon as evidence of your satisfaction,
n so far as I have failed I accept It as an evi
dence that such failure was not by reason of
anything on my part which should have caused
It, but because of those things which were
outside ot and beyond my control. In this en
deavor I am not unconscious of the fact that
in some respects I have received adverse criti
cism. I am told by those newspapers which
ought to be the organs of intelligent nubile
opinion, though I regret to say that they aomo
timas are not ao I have learned that in addi
tion to that which is merely jocose; I do not
make speeches, whloh I certainly do not: that
in the performance ot a duty which oame to
me I presented bills which seem not to have
met tha approval of some ot these organs of
Subtle opinion, one of whloh was dubbed the
nti-Oartoon bill snd the other of which was
stlgmatlrad the 'Press Gag bill.' It ought to be
enough to aay that while that bill met with my
approval. It was. like many another measure
whloh comes to tbe duty ot a legislator to
present, not drawn by me. If the newspapers
naddevoted half of the space used ln condemn
ing It to Its publication, ao that all could see
It and consider It Intelligently. It would have
received far different comment from the people
themselves. One of those measures even those
who condemn It say ln part Is right in prin
ciple, but perhaps too radical."
Mr. Ellsworth went over the bill ln detail as
he pulled a printed copy from bis pocket, say
ing: I carry this in my pocket for comfort
after I have read the garbled ideas of it in some
newepapera. Ha read portions ot the bill and
"What ie there In that which should meet
with the reproval of any intelligent man. and
which should hold up to condemnation any in
dividual or official who endeavored to have It
incorporated Into law. I have no apologies to
make. If I am wrong, if I am not consistent,
then you are wrong ln nominating me to-day.
and If I believed that your convention believed
that it was wrong I would lay this nomination
back ln your laps."
Share were calls for L'Hommedleu. but he
not respond. Tho young leader ln Orleans
has oome out of the trying position with much
success, and whatever odium comes from this
nomination falls upon the shoulders of Archie
Banders ot Oenesee. If the Collectors!) Ip should
not also fail on his shoulders it would be sad
Indeed.

gomery county this afternoon held their nomi
