say. lie fulfilled the objects of return to this
country and is ready TO 90 back TO Germany
II is expected that he will sail next week Wednesday
but il Is semi officially given ont that he will return

Hall campaign. Since hts return home there haI
been many earnest consultation among the Tam
many braves as TO the best course TO be pursued I'm
making nominations for the various Offices TO be filed
this fall. Mayor Grant has been quoted as saving
that his political future is blank but his friends and
the Grant ring which he has built mp in Tammany
consisting OF those whom he has appointed 10 Office
are DESTROYS OF running him again vindcaton."
His friends know full well that Cookers testimony ha,
been of practically weight in vlndicat-
ing the Mayor explaining his gifts 10
Flosse" Croker. The Mayors own admissions
on the witness stand regarding his conduct while
sheriff did him more injury than the evidence Of
every one in Tammany Hall could overcome. To

to show people that lie not afraid to come and
also 10 quiet his wife, who during his absence might
be induced TO tell things that she ought not to tell
her husbands comfort.
Whether not the Mayors friends will attempt
10 renominatc him will depend entirely what tha
political conditions this fall The Tammany men
do not know what to make Of the Citizens PEG
PIES" movement which has been started within the
last few weeks. They hope however that it will be-
come strong enough 10 make fight without absorb

Republicans, leaving these bodies 10 make their
nominations.
Every Tammany meets nowadays is will.
ing 10 bet that the Citizens movement will be dead
before the nominations are made Those who are
interested In this movement laugh .scornfuy at the
Tammany boasts. They say that they are fully in
earnest and will sweep T0mmany Hall out Of power.
