THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY PROUD OF ITS RECoGNI-
TION-How TAMMANY FEELS.
The Custom House appointments were still
the subject OF conversation yesterday among the pot
clans On all sides the appointment OF Hedden was
conceded to lie victory for Hubert o. Thompson and
Edward Cooper. Moreover the appointment was de-
cared to be OF great Importance account OF the nu
ence It would have the nomination for Governor this
fall tits welknown that Mr. Cooper was n candidate
for the nomination three years ago under certain con-
tngencies which did arise. Secretary whitney vas
then favorable to Mr. Cooper Whether he will be of the
same mind this year no one can say as yet with any
certainty. But theIe is question that Mr. Thompson
and many other leaders OF the County Democracy
strongly favor Mr. Cooper's candidacy. In fact no
secret Is made by Mr. Thompson and his friends that Mr.
Cooper will be put forward as the County Democracy
candidate before the nominating convention.
Mayor Grace has steadily declared that he is not a
candidate for the nomination. But he has many warm
and Influential friends In the County Democracy organ
zaton. Prominent among them are President PurrOy,
OF the Fire Department, who Is chairman cf the exec
uve committee; Police Justice Andrew ]. White. and
President Koch OF the Dock Department II the outlook
is favorable they will hesitate to press his for
the nomination II Mr.. simmons had been appointed
Collector 1t would probably have been considerable
step In this direction The appointment OF Mr. Hedden
may therefore. be set down as scoring for the
ThompsOn-Cooper combination.

recommended ex-Iieuenant- Governor Dorshemer for
Distrct-Attorney. For Marshal either Hugh j. Grant
