REPUBLICAN STILL HUNT.
They Cannot Find Victim for Next
Months Sacrifice.

They Cannot Find Victim for Next
Months Sacrifice.
The Republican hunt for candidates to
run on the County ticket still goes
wearily on, and any reasonable man
would have given it up long ago.
Twice Mr.. Humphrey w. Carr posi-
lively refused to run for Senator. The
Committee appointed to act in that emer-
gency has been unable to secure candi-
date. The members will meet
tomorrow night and discuss
the best course to : pursue
under the circumstances. Ii in the
meantime they are unable TO persuade
himself upon the altar of his party, they
will probably determine to follow the
course recommended by the County Com
mittee and make no nomination.
1t is OF only the Senatorial candidates
with whom the Republicans are having
trouble, but there are signs of desertion
among the Assembly nominees. John
Nimmo, who was named in the Third dis
trict to run against City Collector O'Neill
declares that he will not run.
MIR. Henry Ewald, the Republican nom-
inee in the Third district, was reported in
the World this morning to have declined
the nomination. Mr.. Ewalu says this is
not SO and that he will run.
He says further Tthat there was
some talk of the Republicans endorsing
Patrick Sheeran and helping him to de-
feat Mr.. Tumulty. but the idea of fusing
with the kicking Jeffersonians is very re-
pulsive to the Republicans, and that
scheme was abandoned. Mr.. Ewald says
that ne is in the fight to stay, aud will
make the best canvass he can to win.
