These remarks show that Mr.. Grace adheres II
his purpose of placing upon the shoulders of tho
Democratic National Committee the responsibility
of whatever disaster may result to the National
ticket from compelling the AntSnappcrs' to
march in the Tammany procession and TO vote
the Tammany Hall ticket. In doing this Mr..
Grace really lays the responsibility at the door Of
Mr. Whitney ana Of Mr.. Cleveland himself.
After the election the eN Mayor can request him
not to lay the blame upon the leaders Of the May

MENT.OF HIS POSITION.

-
London, Sept. 29.-The Livery of the City OF
London met to-day in the Gudhall to elect
successor to Lord Mayor Evans Unusual interest
was taken In the proceedings owing to the fact
that Stuart Knll, Alderman for the Bridge
Within Ward, who stood next in rotation for the
Lord Mayoralty had encountered strenuous oppos-
hon beca use of his being Roman Catholic. Six
candidates were proposed TO the Livery. When
Mr.. Knill's name was mentioned it was received
with loud cheering. There scene in the
chamber when Councillor Moore protested against
the selection of Mr.. Knill because he was a
Catholic. The protest received with mingled
kissing and cheering 1t had little, if any, effect
upon the Liverymen, and Mr.. knill was elected
to the Lord Mayoralty for the coming year
In reply TO question put TO him hy the
Liverymen, Mr.. Knill said that he had not at
tended st. Lawrences Church to-day. This state
ment was received with cheers and Kisses. MIR.
Knill added that he was Catholic and attended
his own church. Continuing, he said that, in the
event of his election, he would have an Anglican
chaplain to perform public duties, while his pri-
vate chaplain would be Catholic. He would
not attend Anglican services personally, but he
would appoint IA substitute to represent him at
such services when it necessary. 1t was at
this point that Councillor Moore made his pro-
test against Mr. Knilrs selection. Amid great
uproar Mr. Moore said that MIR. knill held al
legiance to the Pope. Here some of the specta-
tors hissed Continuing, Mr.. Moore said The
liberty the city fathers gained for us by the
blood Of their Protestant ancestors
He got no further in his remarks, for the hoot-

voice The Court of Aldermen retired while the
noisy demonstrations still in progress.

Plsach declared that he could not honor the account
as he did not have that in American or English
