In 189 the thirty-six ‘@istrict leaders deserted Charles Welde, who hed been their leader twenty years, and nominated Hopper. He was elected, getting 1,657 votes to 1,272 for Welde. He has had to fight to hold his place ;/@ach year aince, the same crowd— friends of Welde and Peter i. Meyer— opposing him. William Kennedy was Picked to run against him in 1900, but Hopper got 1,500 to Kennedy's 669. Next ‘Ellas G. Levy tried conclusions and got %9 to Hopper's 1,670.

The fight for the Tammany leadership in the Twenty-ninth District is not over yet, despite the surrender of ‘“Whis- poring Larry’ Deimour'’s Navahoe Club to Mulqueen. The flourish of trumpets accompanying the announcement of the capitulation had hardly died out on the alr fo John F. Carroll's old preserves when there was heard a noise like the rumble of a back draught. It came from Deputy Attorney-General Maurice B. Blumenthal, speaking for Civil Justice Herman Joseph, who 1s credited with footing all the pills of the club since it» organization for the express pur- pose of beating Carroll's legatee last winter. Judge Joseph ts brother-in-law’ to Judge John Henry MoCerthy, and if this 1s considered, together with the other fact that Blumenthal is Big Chief Murphy's Chairman of the Gpeakers’ ‘Committee in Tammany Hall, it will be easy to “guess” that John W. Keller's story that Mulqueen has made his peace with Murphy and thet the Big Chief desires his re-cleotion to the leadership ja fairy tale. Justice Joseph and thirty- |. four of the eighty members of the Nava- hoe are about to withdraw in a body |}; and go over to Thomas EH. Rush's Osce- ola Clup. eine The fight goes on merrily in Devery- ville, with the opposition to the late best Chief divided. The Goodwinites, harried’ by Alderman Dowling's per- sistence in staying In the field, with no prospect of winning for himself but en- dangering Goodwin's chance of defeat- ine Devery, have issued a dbcument to voters presenting points to show that ft is the deaire of Fourteenth street that Goodwin be elected to the leadership. 'The circular calls attention to the fact that ‘“Tammeny Hall gave Frank J. Goodwin the exclusive appointment of the election officers, selected bis, head- quarters, the Horatio Seymour Club, in Bighth avenue, ag the place for holding all local conventions; named John Noonan, treasurer of Goodwin's Gay- mour Club, as temporary leader of the district and member of the Tammany BExeoutive Committee when Devery was excluded, and that Thomas F. Gmith, Secretary of Tammeny Hall, is support- ing Mr, Goodwin.” Alderman Dowling fs called a “self- styled candidate for leadership" and the “game individual who ram for Alderman on the Republican ticket,” and voters are warned that a vote for Dowling ts @ vote for Devery, as Dowling has no hope of winning. ‘A vote for Devery is a vote against Democracy and a vote for Dowling le a vote thrown away,” says the circular. eee It was a sight worth going miles to see, like Katisha'’s famous left el- bow, when Leader Murphy had Perey Nagle, flerce and forbidding; John Hav- eron, grinning and soft yolced, and Join F. Cowan, Deputy Attorney-Gen- eral of the State of New York, all AUned up, like @ class of fir boys, at Tammany Hall to-day. three had an awful scrap in the aputh half of the Thirty-fourth Assembly Dis- trict last year. The two Johns tried to whip the big fellow, but he put them both out “with one hand tled behind my back," as he tells it, He beat the two combined by 2% votes, and if It had not been for their big . brother, Bugene McGuire, over in the north halt istrict, who carried his end by je would be still a leader tn Tammany Hall.

NO WARRANT IN LAW FOR IT. Application Was Made In Name of Jacob Newstead, Candidate for Republican Leadership, Who Saya Many Persons Enrolled Are Dead. Justice Clarke, in the Supreme Court, to-day handed down a decision in which he denies the apptication of Leonard A. Snitkin, counsel for Jacob Newstead, who is fighting John Btiebling for the Republican leadership of the Twelfth Assembly District, for an order direct- ing the Board of ‘Elections to show cause why the names of some four hun- dred persons should not de stricken from the primary rolls of that district. ‘The contention of Lawyer Snitkin w: that many of the men had moevd moved or dled since the last enrollment and if their names remained on the rolls tt! would be an incentive to fraud and! might defeat the will of the electors of ‘the district in their choice of a leader. ‘The decision says that there is no way| under the statute in this city of chang- ing the enrollment during the year to conform to the habits of the shifting po; ulation, nor to corect the Tolls by “sities ing there from the names of dead men, and suggests the Legislature is the place to have the law changed. ———— DUEL FOUGHT IN HAVANA, HAVANA, Sept, 9—A duel has been fought between an employee of the Su- preme Court and a colonel in the Cuban Army, ‘The latter applied for @ place in the Audiencia and his communica- tlon was referred to the Supreme Court employee for a report as to his charac- tei ‘The Teport was not very favorable to the Colonel, and he wrote an Insulting | letter to its author, A challenge to @ duel, followed, and te men met and ught with rapier: fonhe Colonel Was very badly wounded.
