Hugh J. Grant. It is said. win be the third'term
candidate Of Tammany Hall for Mayor OF l''S
| city This decided upon the '"'s
| runs about three weeks ngo, at conference
which was held at Long Branch. Richard Croker
| md Hugh J. Grant represented Tammany Han az
| this conference; william f. Harrty the chairman oi
the Democratic National Committee, represented t"e
National Democracy; william g. whitney hppehru
for Grover Cleveland and the "anu7Shappers Lvu'
tenant Governor Shcehan presented hiinscn AZ t"c
conference as the representative OF David b. I'M ana
the state machine. This conference was held OF the
fine when Grover Cleveland was not resting at al
we'll OF nights on account Of the fact that he did not
know whit Tammany Halls plan would be TINS iaii'
either toward him or In relation to the local cam
paign.
AS matter OF fact, he was between two hres' ohd
II worried him exceedingly. II, in the first IN
stance he remained true to Mayor William X.
Grnce and his following-the men who had been true
n him-he would antagonlze Tammnny Hall. On tho
other hand should he side with Tnmmany Hail. no
wouh create considerable hard feeling among we
anti Snapper" brigades. He figured out that the
-snappers" and their Mugwump associates would
have TO support him any way. and II would % oe''cr
politics for him 10 take up with 11mmany.
II IS believed that william &. Whitney UNDERSTOOD
Mr. C1eveands feelings In connection With the manage
ment of the local campaign, and on the day when
the conference was held and that Mr.. Clevclands de
cisIon was 10 let Tammnny Hall have It's own way
and nominate and any one It's leaders saw ft pro-
y,dInC this organization would support him. Mr.
Cleveland arranged TO have II pointed ont inc report
spys that there were still enough Independent Demo
Gratis outside Tammnny Hall to prevent the eiecuoh
OF Tammany Hall Mayor this fall, II only he SAID the
word. but TINT these Democrats would support any
Tammany Hall candidate who was named IL isnihanS
would agree TO support him.
Neither Mr.. Cleveland nor William Z. Wh'they
IMAGINED In all probability, when this bargain was
made that Richard Croker. for Tammany HAM, wonid
Insist upon the denomination of Hugh j. Grant ana thnt
Lieutenant Governor sheehan would support Mr. Croker
in his demands They had understood that Tamnhny
was looking around for more representative clnhen
than Mr. Grant 10 head their ticket this fall But
the bargain had been made. and Chairman iiar1y, OF
the National Committee, finally agreed With Mr.
Croker Hugh !. Grant will bushingy and bashiully
deny that he intends 10 run for u third term for
MAYOR hut the Tamrnany Hall lenders Will insist ~
is said upon his taking the nomination.. lie Is 10
he run the report Is, upon his record ana upon inc
fact that this Is the year Of third time candidates
