THE REPUBLICAN, TICKET.
The Work of the Nominating Com
mittee Yesterday.
TIE PROBABLE NOMINEES.
Tammany and the Aldermen-at-
Large.

The politicians OF both parties had busy day OF
Il yesterday, the action OF the Independents at
Cooper Institute having, apparently, wakened the
'regularsr up TO the fact that the anti -Tammany
movement was not such q small show after all.
II was known as fact that one OF the causes for
the delay OF the Republican County Convention
Tuesday night was the anxiety of the managers
10 ascertain just what the democratic bolters'
ticket was before coming TO any decision as TO
their own and yesterday afternoon they seemed
70 be in as great a quandary as ever about what
particular person they should put In the field ior
Mayor.
THE COMMITTEE oP TWENTY-FIVE
appointed at the Convention met In the forenoon,
but did simply what they we're privately instructed
TO 40 before the Convention had adjourned the
night previous-appointed subcommittee OF
seven to present 10 the committee the names OF
candidates to be considered by the committee
before the adjourned meeting OF the Convention
tonight This subcommittee was composed OF
Michael W. Burns OF the Flrss district; Sheridan
Shook OF The seventh; George Biiss OF the
Eleventh; Hugh Gardner. OF the thirteenth; Ben
jamrn K. Phelps, of the Seventeenth. ana Chester
A. Arthur OF the Eighteenth. Mr.. Thomas Murphy,
as Chairman OF the Convention, was, er-oDIcto
n member OF tie Committee OF Twenty-Five and
became IN the nature OF things, member Of the
subcommittee and was made its chairman. The
subcommittee held a very long session during
the afternoon but came TO no conclusion as to
candidates, although strong feeling was mani
tested from the start in favor or William II. Webb
The only definite step they did take, however,
was quite an important one, and will most effect
ually put an end to the aspirations OF many smbi-
tious democrats who have been during weeks
past urging their claims upon Mr.. Murphy and
Mr. Arthur Tor places on the ticket for Aldermen
at large. basing their claims upon their past
record as reformers. 1t was, in fact, The adoption
OF a resolution that
AN OUT AND OUT REPUBLICAN TICKET
should be nominated. This resolution oes not
shut out General Patrick IL Jones from consider
atlon by the Republican Convention as . candi-
dare for Register, as some ignorant people last
night seemed 10 think it would; for the General is
and always has been a pronounced republican.
His name came up during The discussion which
took place In the subcommittee to the availa-
bility of several candidates ior the Registership
that were mentioned, ana from what could be
ascertained from one OF the members OF the CON-
mittee, who, while not willing to reveal all that
had taken place in the committee room, was
nothing oath 10 "supposer what might happen
" IS pretty certain that the General stands an ex-
Cellent chance OF securing the nomination.
All sorts OF stories were circulated In republican
political circles ate yesterday afternoon, AFTER the
adjournment oil the subcommittee, relative to the
probable final action OF the Convention tonight
but none OF them, with single exception, con-
tained grain OF truth. This exception was that
strong effort was being made to induce ex-Gov-
ernor E. D. Morgan to take the nomination. THIS
effort was made by some very strong men in the
party, VINO contended that mis- being ut the head
OF the county ticket would have asalutary influence
upon the republican Assembly tickets in the va
rious districts. MIR. Morgan's fnends claimed, on
the otner nand. that II ne accepted the nomina-
rion and was elected, and the democrats should
were likely to have, he could not become
A CANDIDATE FOB THE UNITED STATES sENATORSHIP,
without leaving tee Mayoralisy . IN the hands OF
ciined TO allow his lame to be mentioned in con-
nection with the ONCE, and SO the beating about
the bush for another available man was continued
by the subcommittee and their fellows on the
Committee OF Twenty-Five till late in the evening.
The name OF George Van Mort was mentioned
casually but it was given out that he was unwlll-
Ing 10 be considered candidate, and would not
be one unless other and better men. In his opinion
were approached and refused TO accept the NOM
lnatlon. salem H. Wales, late the President OF the
Park Commission loomed up strongly, about nine
O'Clock as a candidate and mis- name seemed to
be received with considerable favor. Last night
the rooms OF the Republican state Central Com.
mittee were crowded with republican politicians,
big and little, who seemed to manifest great deal
OF concern about
THE RESULT OF THE COMMITTEES LABoRs
Great satisfaction was expressed when they
were informed that a straight out' ticket was
TO be nominated at all hazards, but some Of the
ward leaders appeared to think that the Conven-
rion might possibly tonight not be in
mood to accept the report OF the Nominating Com.
mittee in It's entirety. as it was known that quite
a number Of the delegates believed IN the wisdom
oil the p0Lcy OF combining with the independent
democrats on all candidates so far as possible
that in fact ANYTHING and everything should be
Oone, even II republicans had TO squtrm q little
over some OF the men they would inuorse, to beat
Tammany. However, the general Deler OF the
knowing ones was that, the committee being in
large part composed OF the very men who would
have the upper hand OF the Convention, Its decls-
Ion would De final, no matter wnat 1t was.
THE LATEST.
The subcommittee held final meeting at eleven
O'Clock, and did not get through with their bust
ness until long alter midnight The outlook OF the
N
and the claims OF the various candidates whose
names had been brought up during the day ses-
sion. and informally after the forenoon adjourn
ment were canvassed thoroughly. AT one time the
committee were on the point OF deciding in favor
Of George Opdyke, but on learning that that
gentleman was desirous OF not having his name
iavor OF another gentleman for the position his
name was, therefore, left OF the discussion.
The name OF Salem II. Wales was then again
made the subject OF dehberation and at the
would oe recommended to the Convention as the
committees choice for the Mayoraty. The
Regstership candidacy and that OF the Aldermen
AT large were also discussed, and tie feeling In
