NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Judge D. Osdy
Herrick, of Albany, and ex-Mayor VIM. r
Grace were visitors at Democratic head
quarters to-day. 1t was Judge Hertick's
first appearance at Mr. Harrity's bureau
Normandie-by-the-Sea The day before
Senator Hill started on his yachting
cruise there has been much specula.
tion about that visit. Judge Herrick has
been rated as the most ardent admirer Of
Mr. Cleveland in the upper Hudson coun-
try. For half dozen years in Albany
county he has waged relentless war on Gov
ernor Hill and his friends. In view of this
everybody wanted to know the result of
the Judges visit to Mr.. Hill. Mr. Herrick
was As silent about it as the silent tomb.
Mr. Grace was very much nettled at a re-
port that he had promised MI. Cleveland,
through William c. Whitney, that he
would not be instrumental in nominating a
candidate for Mayor this fall in opposition
to the candidate of Tammany Hall. Mr.
Grace said there was not q word of truth in
the story" never made any such promise
to MI. Cleveland or anybody else, }" he said.
'The story is absolutely false"
Mr.. Grace Is Much Disturbed.
Mr. Grace, Emery Anderson, ex-Secre-
tary Fairch1ld and the young Anti-Snappers
in their train are disturbed at the promi-
nence which Nh. Whitney assumed at the
Chicago Convention and has enjoyed since
that eventtul occasion. Mr.. Grace and his
lieutenants, at great expense, got up the
Syracuse Convention professedly in Mr.
Cleveland's interests, but when Mr.. Grace,
Mr. Anderson and Mr. Fairchild reached
Chicago they found Mr.. Whitney in charge
of Mr.. Cleveland's fortunes.
Whitney vigorously told the Anti-Snap-
pers to take back seat and under no cir
cumstances to demand recognition as a con-
testing delegation. As matter of fact,
Mr.. Whitney walked all over them. Mr..
Cleveland's Anti-Snspper friends, who had
raised fund of $500, 600 to fight the regu-
lar Democratic organization, were natur-
ally angered They have been sore ever
since. They believe that they should be
recognized. That u.s. some of them do.
State Committee of the Anti-Snappers has
been kept together, with the power given
to Chairman Fairchild to assemble the body
at any time. The delegates from the cross
raad towns, the men who were sent to the
Syracuse Convention without the semblance
of caucus or q primary, are still recognized.
Mr., Grace's machine in New York and
Kings counties is also still on the track.
Anything to Beat Tammany.
Even with Mr.. Cleveland in nomination
their cry still is Anything to beat Tam
many Hail. and a good many of them add
"And Murphy and Sheahan."
MI. Whitney, as Mr.. Cleveland's chief
commander, is naturally worried over
the situation and he was very much
more worried to-day when he
learned that Mr.. Grace would prac-
tically do as he pleased with his Anti
Snapper machine and would nominate can
didates for municipal offices in all great
counties if he wanted to. Mr.. Grace will
leave town on Monday next for two
weeks vacation in the Adirondacks. He
has had several talks with Chairman Harrity
and Mr.. Whitney in the last week.
Mr.. Grace, it is said, was not particu-
larly amiable in these conversations and
informed these gentlemen that he intended
and that already 20 out of the 80 Assembly
districts in this county had organ
izations representing his views and
wishes This organization, it is
stated by Mr. Grace's friends, is made up
of the remnants of the county Democracy
and substantial German following. There
is some doubt about the German. Mr.
Grace and his friends believe that by
September Is they will have organizations
in all the Assembly districts.
Mr. Grace is of the opinion that it may
not be advisable to nominate Q third candi-
date for Mayor, but that is to be determined |
later on and without further consultation
with Mr.. Harritv or Mr. Whitney. The
main object apparently of Mr.. Grace's fig |
uring is to capture 10 or u Assemblymen
in New York county, job of some size.
The next Legislature elects United States
Senator in place of Frank Hiscock
Republicans Meet at Their Quarters,
At Republican headquarters, 51s Fifth
avenue, to-day, the safe doors of the two
handsomely decorated receptacles for cash
swung to and fro Hamilton Disston, of
Philadelphia, was On hand, and with him |
was Collector Cooper, of the same Quaker |
town. Uncle Philetus Sawyer the S0-year- |
old statesman OF the Republican party, one |
of the richest men in it, was there also.
Hackett, of the New York Re- |
publican State Campaign Committee, was
another caller. He chatted with Mr.. |
Carter for three minutes, and imme- |
diately the few members of the Repub-
lican Club and Union League Club in town
were convinced that something was up
They were positive of this when they /
learned that the Hon. Whitelaw Reid, the |
candidate for Vice President, had Joined !
Mr.. Carter and Mr.. Hackett The oft-re-
peated story to the effect that President |
Harrison will stop in New York later
in the month on his way from Loon Lake
to Washington was heard again. The old pro-
gramme was that the President was to stop
over an afternoon and evening at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel and informally receive his
friends Bets were even on his doing it If
the President stops over in New York he
will be here on September L
