Republicans DeIaying.

Contrary 10 the expectation In political
circles, the anti Tammany and Republican con-
ference did not finish Its work. The full con-
ference committee OF the Republicans met at 2
P. VI. in the rooms OF tho Lincoln Club. Those
of its members who were not on the sub-com-
mittee who had consulted with tho Democratic
committees went into the meeti ng expecting
that the candidate for the Mayoralty would be
agreed upon. and that they would also decide
who should be presented 10 the Democrats for
The ofices Of District Attorney and City Judge.
But the leaders OF the party were not
ready for division OF the contest between ex-
Judge A. j. Dittenhoefer and Benjamin X.
Phelps 'or the District Attorneyship or OF the
struggle between the aspirants for the office OF
City Judge They therefore reported that the
Democrats had asked them to choose
Edward Cooper or Shepherd F. Knapp for
Mayor. and consumed the rest OF the
session in the discussion OF the question
whether the Republicans should demand the
nomination Of four Aldermen at Large or give
Two OF those officers to the ant-Tammany
Democrats, 1t was ut length determined TO
adopt the latter course. but to insist that the
Democrats named for Aldermen shall be men
who will II elected, be true to the parties whose
candidates they were. and under no circum-
meeting tlereupOn adjourned.
