II begins to look as though the combine"

retain his $1,000 year Job as clerk OF the dis

Will, II. The stampede from its ranks was led
by Henry Gumbleton the Vicc-Charman OF the
County Democracy organization in the Twen-
ty-third ward. whose letter resigning from the
combination. and from the County Democracy
as we'll. was printed In THE Sun yesterday. L.
T. Wood. who for many years has been the
most active man in the district leadership
against Tammany. has written a letter 20 Com
missioner Henry d. Purroy announcing his in
tention Of supporting tho whole Tammany tick
ct, and last night Mt a Tammany mass meeting
In fremont lie made speech donouncing tho
combination which had for its object, no de-
clared, the betrayal OF Flower for the sake Of
two petty local offices.
Mr.. Purroy has also got letters from J. Henry
Ford. John Z. Kirby. George Dyer. Anthony
NcOwen. Anthony Snyder. Moritz Deitz. Pat

Tho Republicans want to improve by electing
Platt's man to the Assembly. and tho kickers
want to elect Civil Justice and an Alderman.
There are between 5000 and 5000 Republic
cans in the district. They don't care a button
for the Offices OF Civil Justice or Alderman.
and II they did they wouldn't have any chance
to get them. Fassett wants every vote he can
got, and Plat and Gen. James Bald E. Hustled
want to elect every member OF Assembly they
can A vote for either is a good trade for q
vote for Alderman or Civil Justice.
The combination is supposed to be only on
local offices. except that it takes in the
