Nrw YonK, Sept 2o.-The County
Democracy of the city met tonight and
permanently organized for 1892. 1t was
determined to onominate an independent
city and county ticket. Speeches dc
nouncing Tammany Hail, intimated
that Tammany was prepared to sell out
the electoral ticket, and that in order
TO ensure CleyeIand's election the cam
paisn must be placed in thc hands OF
his friends.
New YonK, Sept. %. Tomorrow will
be decided, it is believed, the much
vexed question as to whether tho 30
called anti.snappets will run separate
municipal ticket in this town. The
state and city organization perfected at
the "dandelion" convention in SyrN-
cuse last May has been kept up and
strengthened and the problem now is:
Shall the anti.snappers use it for the
support OF an independent nomination
ior the mayoralty and other city Off
Ces? The anti.snappers, il they do act
independently, will base their action
upon the gronnd that a contest for two
city tickets here will bring out u larger
vote for the head OF the national Demo.
cratic ticket. Thus the outcome he
comes Of national interest and ,pertin-
cnce is given to interviews which have
been secured on this line.
John Jeroloman, a member OF the IN
dependent Democratic committee that
is 10 decide tho question, said to-day:
"li there were simply the local condi-
ticns to look to, should say at once
that third ticket IL advisable. But
how will the country at largo look at
the matter. They may view il in the
light OF an unfortunate dissenslon.
at is simply the question OF two pow
orul inducements or one to bring out q
heavy vote. OF course many loyal Dem
ocrats will vote any way. think that
two rival tickets would bring out the
heaviest possible vote and ma ke an on
crgelic and successful campntgn. But
how will the country at large view IT?
Would it weaken the cause2 That IS
the exact status OF the case and that is
the fundamentally question to be decid-
cd"
Ex.Secrctary Whitney said; II have
never been able to convince myself 1t
is not good thing to name n second
Democratic local ticket. But l don't
know whether it is best or not. ! know
that in 1880, when there was but ono
ticket (NIr. Grace was the candidate
the national ticket suffered badly aud
Mr.. Grace was elected by 5000 votes. a
local fight brings out a vote which
otherwise docs not appear. How much
this vote is do not know. If a local
ticket is 10 be named the fight is out
right Mr.. Croker told me himselfthat
it made no difference to him whatever.
The only way it might hurt us is in the
country, where tho people believe that
thero is lot OF trading going on here,
and it might injure us in that way. But
if you ask me what effect second
ticket will have, declare | cannot tell
you"
Ex.NIayor Grace. leader of the anti
snappers, expressed himself this even
ing thus:
"The battle is most desperate one
in New York state, The indications
nre that the vote will bo close for the
Democracy The situation is very.
much complicated by local causes.
There is no doubt that very strong
element exists in the city which is anx-
iOus to run local ticket in opposition
TO the one that will. be named by Tam
many Hall. The other night, was on
lay feet Tor four hours using nj, my in
iliencO aud my best command Of Ian
cnagc TO prevent representatives of this
element from actually nominating To-
cal ticket | did prevent it, but | don't
know that ! can prevent organized op-
position from manifesting itself before
election, day. II those who have charge
oi Mr. Clcveland's canvass are OF the
opinion that it will iniure tho national
ticket ii third local ticket is nomi-
mated, | suppose that the wishes oil
these mon win have to bc respected
although such opinion docs not agree
with mine. | shall certainly withdraw
from any movement having third
ticket IN WOW, 1t must not ne sara
that !, or any friends OF Mr.. Cleveland,
last winter imperilled his election by
any action we might take locally"
Finally yTammanys chieftain. Richard
Croker, was found and questioned.
"What is yo5r idea about the move
ment to nominate second Democratic
ticket?"
~ have nothing TO say about the
matter now, and, (smilinGlyl my boy, !
don't think YOU can pump me to-day"
Tho opinion was expressed at the
Democratic national headquarters to.
day, that there will be only one Demo-
cratic candidate for mayor in this city
at the forthcoming election. The CONF
mittee of the May convention, which
called on Chairman Harrity yesterday,
is expected TO report to the meeting
which sent them tomorrow night, and
The belief at headquarters to-day was
that tho project OF an auti-Tammany
Fqayoralty nomination would then be
indefinitely postponed.
