TWO POLITICAL COUNCILS.

WHAT THE CONVENTIONS WILL DO TO-DAY.
THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY TRYING TO SEEM INDIE
PENDENT-A REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE COM
MITTEE.
Two county conventions will meet to-day.
The County Democracy will hold It's convention at
p. in the large hall of the Cooper Institute, and the
Republican County Convention will meet at D. m. in
Republican Hall 1t is not at all likely that either
ganzaon will place ticket in the field before night.
The Committee Of Twentyfour appointed by the County
Democracy to make arrangements for the convention
met yesterday but did nothing, and adjourned until
tomorrow at p Some Of the leaders are In favor
of nominating a straight ticket uniting with
the Citizens organization In forming one.
Others, and 1t is claimed that these
are the majority, favor the appointment OF committee
to ascertain the feeling OF the other Democratic organ
izations and see whether union can he had on the
local ticket and possibly also, agreement on cand-
dates for Senators and Assemblymen.
There is strong feeling the part Of
many Of the County Democracy against
anything that looks Ike direct COM
binatIon with Tammauy Hall. On the other hand
pressure has been brought bear the leaders by
country Democrats TO induce them to agree to united
local nominations the ground that it will aid the
state ticket They say that the County
Democracy refuses to go Into a combination
with Tammany Hall and the State ticket is
defeated tho County Democracy VIII be held responsible
for it. This has had good deal OF effect, aud will
probably result in union on local nominations,
The committee to be appointed today will not be given
authority to pledge the convention to any course of
action. 1t will simply be vested with the power to
ascertain what Is the feeling In the other Dem.
ocrac organizations, and possibly the Citizens well,
an4 report 20 the convention al later date The cons
yentOn viii then take such action az Il deems best
Some of the friends OF Police Justice Henry Murray
say that they favor nominating ticket today with that
gentleman IA the candidate for Register. T. Elery An
dersOn and Corporation Counsel Andrews are favored
for supreme Court JUDGES aud Judge Nehrbas and John
ID. Coughin for Judges Of tne CITY QOrmory Marine)
Court.
The Republican County Convention will probably do
nothing more than meet and appoint
Committee Of Conference. Should there be
two Democratic tickets IN the field the Republicans
could then nominate a straight ticket, VITA good
chance Of eleCtlDgit II Tammany and Irving Hall and
the County Democracy unite Oh local ticket. the Re-
puDcans ana Czens ORGANIZATION are key 10 make up
ticket composed Of strong men, and trust TO the dis
satisfaction which Democratic combination ticket
will create TO give the former IA chance TO win.
The Citizens organization VIII meet on Tuesday when
the political situation will be discussed, together with
the outlook Tor combination win either tue County
Democrats OF Republicans, should there DC u combine
ton with the Republicans the latter Will be
conceded one OF tue supreme Court Judges and
one OF the Judges Of the city Court Democrat
will be named for Register and one Of the supreme
Register lae names Of T. Ellcry Anderson, cN-COunty
Clerk William A. Butler, Charles J. Blauyelt aud
Robert u. Roosevelt have been mentioned. Judge
Nehrbas would be rcuomnaed. and this Is depended ON
portion Of the German vote. There Will also
be discussion OF tue merits OF various candidates I9t
Aldermen These are deemed Of great importance. IL
ulECu thA kND4 men were pittIl III uOluhllOi VI
combinations made with the Republicans or County
Democrats there woud DC a possibility OF securing
majority OF Board Of Aldermen, and this
would insure the confirmation OF gOOl nOmi-
urrs for heads Ot departments Police
Justices and the rejection OF bad The action OF
the County Democracy to-day may have strong effect
on the future action OF the citizens organization.
10 H. noticeable that Of the organizations men
toned take into consideration the existence OF James
O'Bricu'- independent citizens organization. Tho
leaders Of Committee Fiy laugh at the idea OF
pacing In nomination O'Brien as Register They say
10 would make their movement ridiculous at the outset.
None of the other organizations nave cyinced any de-
sire 10 make a combination with Mr. O'Brrn.
Tho Republican state Committee received yesterday
letters from various parts of state, oil
encouraging description The writer's that the party
Wlt never WUrr united, auu thar t5 effect VIII DC seen
tue coming clyC ION.
