81 STICK" SAYS ROBINSON.
REPUBLIC1v COMMITTEEMAN FULL
OF COMTChL WRATH.

Como OT-They Say Desperate Things.
| At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr. Henry
| c. Robinson the Republican candidate for
Comptroller. telophoned to the office OF THE
| Sun asking that reporter be sent to his office
| at 80 Worth street. He said to tho reporter
who won't to see him:
After conference with several members Of
the Nominating Committee OF the Republican
| Convention and having heard from other
| members OF the committee have concluded
| to stick on the ticket, come what may. have
never intimaed that in case Mr.. Myers was
placed In nomination by the independent cit
liens would withdraw in his favor. am not
unmindful Of the interests OF the citizens Of
New York. but fail to see In n movement to
simply substitute tho name Of one man
on ticket any evidence OF sincerity or good
faith on the part OF those who endorsed Mr..
Myers US an Independent candidate. The
movement is not broad enough In itself to
warrant the proposition that it means an or
Ganized opposition to Tammany Hall l fail
to see that the meeting at Cooper Union last
night was a representative one OF out-and-out
opposition to Tammany Hall"
SO far so good. The reporter had been in
formed by man very close to Mr.. Myers that
unless Mr. Myers got the Republican endorse
ment he would not run.
