TnE MAYoRALTr AND THE GERMAN REruB-
LtCASs-Thcrc seems to he some trouble
among the German Republicans in regard to the
Mayoralty question. The action OF the German
Union League, mostly composed OF Republic
cans, in endorsing the nomination of Mr.. On.
dyke, it is stated is repudiatcd by its own chair
man, DR. Wilhelm, who, it is now averred, says
the day was carried only by a strategical move.
ment Of the Custom-lIousc faction, while the
actual majority are in favor of Mr.. Gunther.
Tho German Republican Central Club" have
also declared for Opdykc, but its chairman, Mr..
Whitman, is assailed by members of his own
party, and accused Of uniarness, because he now
calls upon the people to vote against the candi-
date (Mr. Gunther), in whose selection he par
ticipaied. 1t appears that Mr. Whitman was
one of n committee of Germans who waited
upon Tammany to declare that Mr.. Gunthor
would be an acceptable candidate, and this step
he could not have taken without consultation
with his German party-irionds. 1t is, thoro-
fore, fair to presume that Mr.. Gunther has some
considerable strength among the German Re.
publicans.
