MORE TAMMANY FORGERY.
ANDREW H. GREEN IS AGAINST THE COR
RUPT WIGWAM.
NEVERTHELESS THE DESPERATE LEADERS or
THAT FRIGHTENED FACTION SIGN HIS NAME
WITHOUT HIS CONSENT TO AN IN.
DoRsEMByT OF GRANT-THE DEs-
PICABLE, TRICK EXPOSED.


Tammany Hall made bluff yesterday which
shows what a desperate and hopeless game the
ring is playing. In several of the newspapers
Tammany published an Endorsement OF Mayor
Grant and his administration, which was signed by
many Tammanyites and few men who do not
affiliate with the Wigwam. The names were at
ranged in two long columns, and the first name
given at the head of the second column was that
Of Andrew II. Green, Of Tammany's most fear-
less and relentless opponents, who was one of tho
men who helped to overthrow the Tweed Ring and
was the successor of Connolly Controller.
Now, Andrew II. Green did not afiix his name to
that Endorsement and the placing Of it there 10
forgery. The best possible proof of this asser-
ton, next to Mr. Green's own statement is that Of
his confidential right-hand man, Albert 4. Hen
schel who Indignantly declared yesterday that Mr..
Green was unaterably opposed TO Tammany Hall
and had told him so. Mr.. Henschel denounced the
men who had taken this unwarranteJ privilege
with his employers name
Mr.. Green has been out Of town fer several
days, and denial could not be obtained from
him. But Mr. IIenscbel unequivocally declared
that Andrew ii. Green was as strongly opposed
to Tammany Hall as ever. A report was started
several days ago in an evening paper that Mr..
Green called on Mayor Grant and said. in the
presence Of Mayor Grant and Mr.. Spcer, the May
ors private secretary, that he would support Mr..
Grant Efforts were made to see Mr.. Green, but
he had left town. Mr. IIcnschel, however, ap-
peared at the Citizens meeting held on Satur-
day afternoon on the steps Of the Sub-Ireasury,
and said that he was authorized to say that
Andrew H. Green was not in favor Of the re-elec-
ton OF Mayor Grant, but that he was in favor Of
good government which he did not believe could
be obtained through Tammany Hall. Yesterday
Mr. Ienschel asserted positively that Mr.. Green
did not sign the Tammany address, and he said
that the Tawmany leaders had pestered Mr..
Green to sign a paper which they had presented
, to him, even chasing him to the railroad station,
when he was trying to get away from them
why exclaimed Mr.. Hensche IL have been
speaking night after night at Anti-Tammany meet
ings and who do you suppose gave me many
fine and telling points against Tammany Hall but
Andrew Ii. Green? Mr. Green, with whom have
been associated for eight years in several capac-
ties, was pleased when | said that was going
to make speeches against the Tammany ring. lie
posted me particularly on the incompetence OF the
TaX Commissioners and the inefficency OF the
Corporation Counsel He wanted me to urge that
the office of Corporation Counsel should be made
elective so that it could never be filled again
with such man as the clerk of W. Bourke Cock
ran, an office that has been held by Bronson.

Mr. Green is as much against Tammany
as he ever was although ne, ne has s;. friendly
| thies are with the Anti-Tammany movement
When Secretary Speer sndeavored savorss,. To- q, Sb-
| Grants reelection, and brought up the Worlds
Fair controversy, Mr.. Green distinctly told him:
| 1T was your course that lost us the Fair You
| and the committee insisted on taking Central
Park for the SITE and that stirred up powerful
| local opposition TO the project
| Now, Mr.. Green knew that he would be bad
gered BY both parties for his support and ne
| Slipped ont OF town Friday, and none but bis
relatives ard friends know where he is: But
| all will know trmorrow through the honest press
that his sentiments are for the Leagues ticket
THE Evening Post published Yesterday IN
parallel columns the Endorsement of Mayor Grant,
| in which Mr.. Green's name had been forged. and
| the Endorsement of Tweed and Connolly on No
vember Z. 1870, by Moses Taylor. +. D. Brown,
