.No toil Organisation.
NEW YonK, Nov. 1. Upon one Impor
tant point both friends and foes of Tam
many arc agreed. In moit questions their
views arc illnmctrleally opposed, but all of
them acknowledge, the friends exultantly,
the foes regretfully, that Tammany Hall Is
the most remarkable political organization
In existence. It Is remarkable first for Its
hold upon the people who mako up Its vot
ing strength and for the solid vote that It
casts each year, no matter what the Issues.
Why thousands and tens of thousands of
citizens who cannot, In the nature of
things, receive a public Job or draw a ill
ary from tho city should remain loyal to
Tnmmany Is n puzzle to the average person
not In tho organization. How can Tam
many hcln these? Whero does the com
mon man come In? Why does this vast
mi nf Vi.u.' Ynflt'n nnnttlatlnn aunnort
Its candidates? aro tho natural questions
of thoso unfamiliar with tho Inner work-
Ings ot the organization. Strange as it
may seem to some who have pictured a
system of oppression nnd corruption, Tam
many appeals to Its constituency In a lan
guage that no man can fall to understand.
It Is nn appeal for loyalty hecauso of the
asslstancu nnd help nnd sympathy and aid.
of every description, of ovcry kind which It
gives to Its members.
Tho Tammany organization consists of
the general comr.ttee of the county, the
district general committees and the execu
tive committee. Tho real backbone of the
executlvo commlttco Is tho members from
tho district organizations; the: men aro
always tho leaders of their rcspectlvo dis
tricts. To tho casual observer these men
appear as dictators with unlimited power.
Tho leaders themselves, however, know that
there Is a very real limit to their powers
and It Is by never ovorstcpplng this that
they retain their places In the organization.
They ore leaders bscauso they know how
to lend, how far to go and when lo stoo,
and It may bo said safety that tho man
agement of Tamrcnny Hall has always been ship from Its first beginnings. Not (a slt
and on account of Its organization must al- nation could arise In tho district In .which
wnvs b pxnctlv what a majority of Its he did not know the Insldo nnd the outslda
members want. Tho aecrct of the power of
the leader may bo summed up in tnis: no
stands by hts people and his people stand
by him.
Mistaken Iilen.
If the popular Idea Is that any leader
of Tammany Hnll retains his prestige and
power w'thout a struggle, the organization
Is entirely misunderstood. The leaden
attach to themselves tho members
must
of tho party. They may do it by being
good fellows, or they may do It by bully
ing, or they may do It by bribery of one
kind and another: but, take away tho fol
lowing, and tho leader falls, and nothing
can reatoro him. To show how Tammany
leaders obtain and hold their powers the
record of the day's work by ono ot them Is
sufficient.
This particular ono Is a lawyer and a
member of a legislative body. His home
Is In tho heart of his district, one of those
tin tho cast side. His district club, to
which all of his followers . belong. Is
around tho corner. His office Is down
town. If you study him for a moment
tho first thing that will strike you Is that
ho Is industrious. Ho rises every morn
ing at 6 o'clock, unless he Is pulled out
of bod beforo. On the day that we are
going to follow 'him ho was permitted to
slocp until 0 o'clock. While ho was
dressing the doorbell rang a man to see
tho leader. Tho leader delayed his break
fust and saw the man. It was a simple
case. The bureau ot Incumbrances had
seized a showcase belonging to a small
shopkeeper which was Illegally
on the
sidewalk and a pollcoraan bad arrested
tho shopkeopcr. The appeal was that tho
Nhowcase might be recovered from the
city yard, to which It had been taken,
and that tho shopkeeper be saved from a
lino. Tho leader mado no deflnlto promise;
ho would do his best, and ,the shopkeeper
wns content. During breakfast another
caller appeared. His brother had been ar
rested for "disorderly conduct." that char
ltablo term that covers a multltudo of sins.
Would the leader get him out? He would
try.
Tlie Helping- Hand,
Work was waiting for hlra at his office,
but Instead ot going there ho went to the
pollco court. There his constituent's tin'
fortunato brother and tho shopkoeper were
awaiting htm. In tho line of prisoners
were two or threo other members of the
district organization, or friends nf members
and each of tbcm had to be attended to.
Tho magistrate know the leader and th
leader knew the magistrate., and after a Ut
tlo conversation the leader paid a fine or
so, the magistrate delivered a reprlmacd or
so and the shopkeeper and the unfortunate
brother wore discharged. While this bad
been going on the leader had been ttv
pealed to a dozen times for aid of one sort
or nnothor. Some ot the appeals he
answered with n contribution from bis
pockets, some ot them with a word cf ad
vice, somo of them be disregards). This
had taken an hour. The leader had to get
to his office. Ho boarded a car end was
painted respectfully by tho conductor and
driver. Roth ot them owed their .lobs to
him. Onco at his offlco his first care was
to telephone to the bureau ot Incumbrances
and ask that tho shopkeeper's showcase be
returned to him. Ills next business was
to rccclvo thrco or four callers, all of them
In search of work. Thoy bad no doubt (hat
ho could, get Jobs for them nnd he took
Iholr names and added them to a portentous
list that ho carried In his pocket. Then
ho opened his mail. It consisted of ap
peals, somo for employment, some from
men for whom ha had obtained employ
ment for transfers, requests that In buv
tickets to church fairs and dances nnd
schuotzenfests and benefits of nil sorts and
descriptions, At luncheon he met a man
who .told him ot the efforts which a rival
in the district was muklng to supp'ant him.
That required attention and thought and
Immedlato consultation with a number of
his lieutenants, tho men who had charge ot
tho election districts under him.
I'uttliiK In Ilia Time.
In the nfternoon tho regular dally visit
to the city departments came. The heads
of all these, departments were fellow lead
ers nnd they had the parceling out of
the good things. For ovcry Job to be glve.n
out there wcru nt leaBt twenty applicants
and ot tho twenty applicants at least a
dozen wero "leaders' men." He got two
bweepcrs liu the street-cleaning depart
ment and a messenger In the finance de
partment and an extra rlerk In the tax de
partment and that was a good day's work.
When ho gotN back to his offlco more mall
had accumulated. Its treatment was the
same that tho other had received and then
tho lender started for supper. He wasn't
going home. Ho bad to attend a fair nnd
spend sotuo money and show himself, and
when he had done his duty by the fair It
was llrao for him to go to the district
club and seo what more there was for
hlra to do. There wore fifty men who
wanted Immedlato financial assistance,
trom 10 cents to 11. Twenty-Ova men
wanted work, thrco or four wanted to get
on to the police force, threo or four wanted
to get In the flro department. They were
policemen who wnnted (o be transferred
and advanced In grade and clerks who
wanted to get vacations and Increases In
salary and all sorts of routine matters of
that kind to take up time. Then there was
a woman whose husband beat her and who
had come to tho leader for protection and
a husband who had "given up tryln' to live
with that woman" and expected tho sym
pathy and support of tho leader. Then
there were men who had been arrested and
roust be balled out and n wholo mass of
minor details, to all of which tho leader
listened attentively and attended scrupu
lously. It was midnight when ho got to
his home. He had done a hard day's work.
He was tired. He went to bed, but before
he was fairly asleep the doorbell rang and
ho was pulled out of bed to furnish ball
for another constituent. Then he went to
bed again and was allowed to sleep for
a Uttlo while.
l.eiiilenililp nnd llriionll(llll .
This Is a sample day from tho llfo ot a
district leader. Philanthropy did not
prompt nlm to do tho kindly acts which
he did. Had he not done them ho would
have lost the friendship of tho men who
mado his leadership possible and as soon
o ho lost their friendship his leadership
was gone. By assuming tho post of leader
ho had assumed the responsibility of do
ing all of tho many things which had been
asked of him. Ho was the man to whom
every unemployed, every unfortunate nnd
every troubled member ot tho organization
looked for practical aid and sympathy.
That was what they had mado him Jcader
for; that wns hat ho had promised .them
when they made him leader. Had he not
fulfilled tho promise ho would have p'roken
a contract nono the less binding bocanso
novor reduced to writing and possibly
novcr expressed In words. Every man for
whom ho had done a favor was his .friend,
or would be, and would he his supporter,
with all of tho other men whom ho could
Influence, until there came a rival who
would and could do more than he.
This particular leader began his political
career by enrolling In the organization.
Tho first constltucpcy he had consisted of
ono man and ho won his support by taking
oft his roat and pitching into a fight and
saving the old man from a punimellng.
That ability to use his fists was tho future
leader's first capital and his wlllingnbss to
do so eo advo-tised him. Ho had to, fight
for everything ho got. for other men were
striving with tho samo ambition. He?. knew
every Inch of the road to political loader-
from practical experience, ho nau neon as
poor ah any or tnoso ror wnom nis uki was
invoKcu. Mi! couia eyrapainizo wuuuveijr
man and every woman In tho district, ins
knowledge, his experience, nis ability to
put them Into practical effectiveness and
his willingness to do so made him the
leader of tho district. In return for all
this unceasing nnd unstinted effort to
Pl"e his constltuente this leader received
his reward In many and devious wnys.
His vanity was tickled by the homage that
was paid htm in his district. His pocket
book was fattened by the fees that political
friendship and obligation put Into It and
tho hope ot higher placo and greater
power kept hts ambition awake.
Loyalty ot Followers.
In return for all that he did for each
ot his constituents there was an obliga
tion on their part. It was that they
should aeslst him In the organization. On
registration days certain ot them must be
on hand to help get out tho voters. Look
near any placo ot registration and you
will see from ono to a dozen workers,
standing probably under the awning ot
the nearest saloon, ready at the word of
the district captain to run on any erraud
that might bo necessary. They would go
furthor at the word of any captain they
would binder the registration ot any man
opposed to their organization. Somctlmee
at a polling place It becomes necessary In
the Interests of tho organization that the
enrollment on the list ot the opposition
party shall bo discouraged. Nothing brings
this discouragement about more effectively
than a riot and when the riot Is over the
well-trained Tammany workers Btand In
Innocent groups as bystanders on tho side
walk, while the policeman, who has arrived
Just too lato to bo of any scrvlco to tho
opposition party, swings his club negli
gently In tho doorway. It may bo neces
sary for the purposes of tho organization
to Increase Its vote In an aesembly dis
trict. Then the gratitude of those who
have been favored Is shown by their mov
ing, probably from one lodging house to
another, so that the vote can bo duly re-
corded.
Thus on the great cast side of New
York the Tammany politician wins his
power and holds It. The leader has done
things for his constituents nnd they, un
mindful of the high words ot- civic duty
that aro preached at them for three weeks
before election with an Intonation that
they scoff at, follow the dictates ot grate
ful hearts and do things for him and on
election evening certain generous con
tributors to great philanthropies and
worthy gentlemen whose theories of gov
ernment 'have been outraged by the suc
cess of Tammany, complain bitterly ot the
Ignorance and ungratefulness of tho great
mass ot their fellow citizens and wonder
honestly whero Tammany gets Its strength.

MNCOI.N, Nov. 0.-8peclal.)-Tho dis
covery yesterday morning of1 a small bluzo
In tho tunnel leading from tho cnglno
houso to tho state capltol building bus
caused several of the suite officials to be
lieve thut a dellberalo attempt wns made
to destroy tho lutter structure, Tho flumes
were conllncd to the usbmtos covering ot a
largo steam pipe running through the tun
nel. Outnldo of the asbestos Is n, covering
of four layers of heavy paper. This papor
was burned away In two spots, each ubout
a foot In diameter. Below tho pipe wns
found ii pile of excelsior and several burnt
mutches. Tho placo whero tho tiro was
found la. about forty feet from tho cnplt-ll
building nnd with a good draft the flames
would havo spread tho entire dlatance
within n few minutes.
Secretary of State .Marsh and Attorney
General I'rout investigated tho discovery
yesterday, but arrived at no definite con
clusion, Jt was reasoned that If an at
tempt was planned to destroy the building
tho lire would havo been started nearer
tho building or In the woodwork. The
pipe is hot enough to scorch dry paper, but
It Is said by engineers that it could not
produco any effect on the asbestos, which
Is between tho pipe nnd tho outside paper
covering.
KiiRlnrrr .Sawyer's Statement.
hnglneor V. a. Sawyer, who discovered
tho Humes whllo making a round of Inspcc
tlon at 7:30 a. m., said:
"I lioliovo thnt someone got In tho tun
nel on purpose to set that fire. His plarr
was, evidently, to let the blaze smoulder
along until It reached the building In the
hopo that It would catch on the woodwork
and so burn tho stntehouse. r.ast Mr.roh
I discovered n similar blaze which placed
mo on my guard nnd now I mako tho
rounds of tho tunnel four times each
twenty-four hours.
"Tho building Is open at 6 o'clock in tho
morning. As soon as tho pun Is up It is
ngnt enough to seo clear through tho tun
nel, but beforo this time I innke my vlrst
,t0ur of Inspection. Just before wo quit nt
night I miko the last one.
-as nnyono can sec, both of thc.io
charred places began burning on the but
side of tho pipe. It Is Impossllilo for tho
heat from tho steam to cause such a blase
through tho asbestos. It is possible for a
person to hide in tho bnsement of tho cap
Itol building and enter tho tunnel lonir
enough to start tho fire. In a day or so a
trap door will be placed on the capltol end
of the tunnol nnd tho manholes will bo
more j firmly wired down. Then let .Ire-
bugs get In there If they can."

SHOT IS MEANT TO KILL
Coroner' Jury Ho Decides After 1
veatlKBtlnK Nebraska City
Triigcd-.
NEBRASKA CITY, Nov. 5. (Special Tel
egram.) John McCormlck shot and killed
Mrs. Magglo Llnsley at an early hour this
morning and then turned the weapon on
himself, Inflicting a ellght scalp wound
from which ho will recover.
McCormlck is a plastorcr and is well
known in this city, where ho has hitherto
borne a good reputation. Ho Is said to
nave been drinking heavily for two or
three days past and was somowhat undor
the Influence of liquor when he called at
Mrs. Ltnsloy's bouso at 2 o'clock this morn
Ing. He demanded admittance nnd being
refused by the woman, Jlred at her through
the screen door, the ball striking her un-
dcr the right eyo and p9notratlng the brain,
causing immedlato death. McCormlck then
turned the -revolver toward his own head
and fired, the bullet striking him In the
temple and glancing away, causing a scalp
wound. McCormlck was immediately placed
under arrest and Is now In Jail. Ho was
about 40 year of age and unmarried. Tho
worifan leaves one child.
A coroner's Inquest was held this after
noon to Investigate the shooting and the
following Is tho verdict of tho Jury: "We,
the Jury, find that tho said Maggie Llnsley
camo to her death from the effects of a
wound caused by a bullet fired from a 38
caliber revolver, the said revolver being In
the bands ot one John McCormlck and dis
charged by him at tho body of Magglo
Llnsley with deliberation and felonious In
tent." Testimony brought out at the Inquest
tended to show that McCormlck had on
several occasions threatened to kill the
woman If she did not marry him. No sort-
ous results are likely to come ot McCor-
mlck's solf-lnfllcted wounds
