Tribune was admitted BY each Of them. The
first and most important person Of that meeting
Morris Tekubky, was found at his diAey groseefy'
No. 80 Oak.st Mr.. Tekulsky was on the oona-
mitsee that visited Mr. Croker and Dir. NioolL sud
he frankly admitted IL was what his committee
harmed as those -intsrvisws that decided 1t 70
report in favor Of ehe iquor-dealers indessius IN
body De Lanoey Nicoll "a their candidate FOR
Dissrict-AtSorney. But Mr. Tekuisky and Oil tne
sthers SPOKEN to warily denied that Mr. Nicoil
had made The committee any pledge Whatever:
But Mr.. Tekulskyh conversation was Virtual
sdmiasion Of the trusA Of the charges.
II am free TO say to you,' he remarked, tna'
De LAncey Nicoll WAS not the choice OF the liquor
dealers for District-Attorney. They would never
have chosen him.
.Who was the choice Of the LIQUOR dealers'
"Gxnning 8. Bedford was our man. Every.
body In this city knows ex-Judge BEDFORD ana
has known him for twenty years TO oe an nonest'
upright man, who would not DO anything to in
jurs US or anybody else"
sDo you deny that any request was MADE ey
,sent committee to Mr.. Croker or Mr. Nicoll rela-
tive to Mr.. Bedford's retention In the Distrlct-
Attorneys ofHce?"
.Ob. tbats all bosh We wouldn't ask Mr.
r.roher or Mr.. Nicon to make any pledges. 1t is
customary when the candidates are nominated
for the liouor-d dealers to send committee to
wsis on ali the candidates and interrogate them
about how they stand in regard to eur business
we saw Mr.. Croker who told US he could not
.neak for anybody but himself; that he himself
was not unfdendly TO our business. We waited
on Mr. Niooll, just a. we do at every election
on candidates and we asked him 4 ne was :, an M
