To Tammany men the ticket nom
mated by the Tammany Hall city and
County Convention last night is not a
surprise.
They expected n machinc-made ticket.
and their expectations were realized.
Tut as far as their Imagination
stretched over the field of available
candidates 1t did not extend to Col.
John X. Fellows for District-Attorney
The nomination OF all the other AN
d!dates for important offices was fore
Swallowed in The Evening World"
The slate published last evening in
cluded Ashbel =. Fitch for Comptroller,
j. H.. v. Arnold for Surrogate. Miles
Beach for Judge of the Court of Com;
mon Pleas. Lewis j. Conlon and James
NJ. Fitzsimons for Justices of the city
Court, and Charles NJ. Clancy for Sher-
if.
Col. Fellows was not cvcn drcamed OF
by the shrcwdest gucssers. His nomi-
nation, however. sheds a light on Tam
many politics and the policy that gov
crli. to some extent, the nominations
in Tammany Hall.
mr.. Croker selected a ticket that will
gain the fun support of rammany vot-
crs. Every man on the list Is an organi-
zation man, who will obey religiously
all orders from Fourteenth street. who
will devote all his energies II his office
to the interests OF the organization
first. last and all the time. And that is
the best recommendation Tor "A candi-
date among Tammany voters.
Tammany for Tammany men only, Is
the campaign cry suggested for this
ticket.
Furthermore, by placing congressman
Fitch and Fellows on the local ticket.
Vacancies are made for TWO men that
1t Is policy to take care OF.
Young Frank Ehret, son OF the rich
brewer, made up his mind to give, up his
racing stable and taxi up politics for II
diversion. There was no suitable place
FOR, n Mr; Ehr fTbs IN so the Of m a msm Of t the ine
nuence of Mr.. Ehret in Tammany Hall
could not be ignored.
1t is said that young Ehret's candi-
dacy was one of the causes which re-
suited in the turning down of Comp
troller Myers.
IN order to send Ehret to Congress
in Fitch's Congressional district.
= Fitch was consulted. He Is, or was,
counsel to Ehret's brewing firm. He
signihed his willingness to make way
for the brewers son.
Thus Mr.. Croker obliged. n wealthy
contributor and got a satisfactory can
didate for Comptroller at the same time.
Col, William l.. Brown is said to be
in Congress. BY shifting Col. Fellows
the Wigwam boss. so Tammany men
say. made another ten-strike of policy.
At the same time he paid n political
, debt, which was a very irksome obliga-
ton.
Brown will not wear the Tammany
collar. He asserted his Independence in
! the Senate at Albany. His turning down
was determined on, but his friend.
BENJAMIN Wood, insisted that Brown be
taken care of. In consideration of his
I LOYALTY 10 and Sunnnrt of amman
Hall his request was granted.
What to do with the obstreperous
Brown was the next question. District
Attorney Nicoll refused a renominat ton.
A nan was wanted in his place who
would run the office to suit Tammany
Hall. Fellows was the man.
So 1t was decided to send Brown to
Washington. where he could be as in
dependent as he pleased.
II. Il. Fitzpatrick, one of the can
didates for Coroner, was turned down by
Mayor Grant. He refused to take a
$1,000 Tax Commissionership recently.
He said he wanted something better.
