NEW YORK'S MAYORALTY
THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY RE-
SOLVES TO PUT OUT A TICKET.

Efforts Making by the National Com
mittee to Have But One Candidate
In the Field-Whitney's Opinion as
20 the Effect of Two Tickets on
the National Election-Ex-Presid ent
Cleveland to be in New York To-day.
NEW York, Sept. 29.-The opinion was
expressed at the democratic national head
quarters to-day that there will be only one
democratic candidate for mayor in this city
at the forthcoming election. The committee
of the May convention democrats who
called upon Chairman Harrity yesterday is
expected to report to the meeting which
sent them tomorrow night, and the belief
at headquarters to-day was that the pro-
ject of an anti-Tammany mayoralty no mi
nation would then be indefinitely post
poned.
FAVOMA a THIRD TICKET.
MANY Of the democrats prominent in the
Syracuse convention movement, however,
still favor a third ticket. on the ground that
it would strengthen rather than weaken the
chances of the democratic national NOM
inees. Others are doubtful, not knowing
how it would be interpreted outside of this
city, where the local conditions are not so
well known.
When William C. Whitney was asked
whether he favored the anti-snapper move
ment and their plan to run straight aud
independent ticket, he replied; "It is an
oren question whether the entire demo-
cratic vote of the city could be got out
without a third ticket. l am not opposed

CRoKERs OPINION.
IF a local ticket is to be named, the fight
is outright Mr. Croker told me himself
that it made no difference to him whatever.
The only way it might hurt US il in the couu-
try-there people believe that there is a lot
of trading going on here and it might in
jure us in that way. But if you ask me
what effect the second ticket will
have, l declare cannot tell you.
In the campaign of 1880, when w. R.
Grace was the only democratic candidate
for mayor, many democrats did not vote
because there was only one ticket, and the
democratic national ticket suffered on &C.
count of it. Grace'S majority was only
about 200 that year"
WHAT wHITNEY's REMARKS INDICATE.
The general tone Of Mr.. Whitney's re>
marks seemed to Indicate that he believe
that an anti-snapper ticket would bring out
many votes for the national ticket which
would not be polled if there were only
one local democratic ticket in
the field. Among the politicians
about headquarters Mr. Whitney's
statement was taken as evidence that Mr..
Cleveland will not oppose the plans of the
anti-snappers, and they thought it indicated
that ne believes he will get more votes If the
third ticket is nominated than he will IL it is
not nominated.
Mr.. Grace was asked to-day if there would
be third ticket. He answered: Frankly,
l do not know YETI
GOING 10 NEW YORK.
Mr.. Whitney said that he had a letter
from Mr. Cleveland to the effect that he
would remain permanently when he comes
tomorrow, except for a brief trip, when he
goes away to bring his family back Mr..
Cleveland will stay at the Victoria hotel
until bis house at II West Fifty-tirsS street
is ready.
The probability of the nomination Of the
bO.hng democratic ticket in the municipal
canvass in this city will be brought to Mr.
Cleveland's attention by the managers of
the state and national campaigns. 1t is
rumOred that committee from the boilers
will wait on Mr.. Cleveland at the Victoria
hotel during the day to present their case,
aud to ask him, If he cannot lndorse their
movement, to keep his hands of and let
them do as they please. The managers of
CIeveend's canvass now realize that the
only man who
CAN CONTROL THE BOLTERs
Is w. r. Grace, the instigator of the move
meut. All efforts on the part of the national
committee to preserve harmony in the city
will now be addressed TO Mr.. Grace. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Cleveland will be asked
to see MIR. Grace and ask him not to run a
bo.ting ticket.
The change in the programme arranged
Tor Bourke Cochran WAS announced at the
national headquar ers to-day. Mr.. Cochran
VIII make as many speeches as he agreed to,
put will speak IN the east first, in order to
De near his doctor, who is treating his
eyes.
