MANY BOURBONS DISMAYED OTHERS INSIST THAT SILVER IS YET AN ISSUE. The Tammany Chief’s Declaration for Expansion Is Also a Thorn in the Side of Dem- ocrats. Spectal Dispstck to The Call NEW YORK, Jan. 7—The Herald's Washington correspondent sends the following: Mr. Richard Croker has stirred up a hornets’ nest among Demo- crats in Congress. His emphatic decla- | rations in favor of the policy of expan- | and against silver at 1§ to 1 have used antis and Bryanites to a real- tzatio fluence will be exerted against the anti- expansion policy and against free sil- ver. It has tended to widen still further the breach between Eastern Democrats and those of the West and South. Many of the leading men in Mr. Bryan's fol- lowing assume to make light of the matter, but the bitterness of their com- ments shows th realize that Mr, Croker bas struck a severe blow at| their faction by declaring for expan- sion, a large army and navy and against the doctrine of free coinage. “The candidates for the Democratic leadership in the House whose votes will be especially interesting in view of putting Mr. Sul- adership will not on.

Senator Jones said as chairman of the National Democratic Committee he was in constant correspondence with leading Democrats in all parts of the country, and therefors was able to form a pretty fair estimate of Demo- cratic sentiment, not only on the sub- Ject of territorial expansion, but also on the financial question.
