report circulated yesterday to the effect that
President Cleveland had offered tho Coectorsip OF the
Port Of Newly to ex-Mayor Hugh J. Grant. Mr..
Grant himself gave the rumOr its death blow. When
asked by Tribune reporter what foundation there
was forrhe statement. the ex-Mayor said:
president Cleveland has not offered me the Office

"wOuld you accept the COlectOrship II II should

IL would not accept the best political Office which

II am out Of politics, and nothing would tempt me

AS Collector Hendrickss resignation Is In the hands
Of the President, II is expected that action Will DO

There were many rumOrs yesterday Us to who would
be the lucky man. The Anti-Snappers OF this city
had settled upon exSecreary Charles $. Falrchild,

hope OF landing In the Collectors Office, and his
friends say that he has formidable backing. 1t Is
not so certain. however. that Mr.. Croker and the
Tammany outfit would be well pleased with Mr.
ODonohues success as Mr.. ODonohue himself would
have the Administration and the people at large
believe.
The suggestion that there Is strong probability
OF Mr. Cleveland selecting Alexander E. Orr for the
Office has been favoraby received on all sides. IL
Is generally conceded that more satisfactory ap'

necessarily brought into contact with the Collector
could hardly be made Nobody could complain
II Mr.. Orr should be chosen. and the impression
has been growing that he will be the man. The
belief that violent AnSnappcr will set the place
Is daily becoming stronger.
