This ticket, n secret which was locked
in the breasts of Jacob NJ, Patterson and
John Sabine Smith for nearly two days,
was looked for with interest by an anx-
ious public this morning.
Mr.. Patterson led people to believe
that there was something unusual about
the names he had selected for the Re
publican City and County Convention,
which met at the Grand opera-IIouse
hail last night. But Pattcrson's little
theatrical by-play fell Nat.
The candidates he named arc n very
respectable lot, but they are very littlc
known outside of limited legal and bust
Charles ii. Murray gained notoriety
through his connection with the Porter
census. and when he was subsequently
turned down ny ireSlhent iiarrlSon'
Peter II. Mcdonald. one Of the candi-
dates for Coroner, Is known to the. pub
lie as the Republican leader of the
Twenty-sixth. District.
Messrs. Addoms. Olcott. O'Connell and
Townley, the four candidates for judi
cial officers. are emlnently respectable
lawyers. Henry G. Robinson Is n whole
sale dry-Eoods merchant of excellent
standing. But responsibility alone never
elected Il Republican candidate in this
city.
The Independent Democrats and other
anti-Tammany organizations have a plan
by which the Republican candidates will
get more votes. 1t is that the Republic
cans withdraw their candidate for Comp
t tho nsm nn1 Of S TSsoi"rs W for M iser o WSS
can have an Independent nomination II
he will take it.
The Myers movement Is backed by
the Stock ExchangS ana the Business
Mems Democratic Organization.
The Republicans have polled, very
a an'[ III i%yiG', IKE kS'f this sn Win VIII f ,RsS' general Sns al
apathy that exists among voters, they
win probably not poll a.Iarge VOC.
If the Comptroilcrship was made an
Issue; however, with a strong candidate
like Theodore w. Myers. supported by
the Republicans. Mr.. Myers's friends say
he could be elected without a doubt.
Mr.. Patterson said to-day that his
ticket was nominated, and the candi-
dates accepted the nominations, to stay
in the field. There win be no with
drawal, he said. in favor of any Demo-
Graf.
The Republicans have strengthened the
Tammany ticket everywhere in the city
by refusing to make combinations with
the anti-Tammany factions. 1t is to
practical politicians even a mystery why
the Republicans have refused to make
alliances. when by such a ours the de-
feat of Tammany Hall was almost GER
tain. One of their primary objects was
understood to be the ACCOMPLISHMENT of
the downfall of Tammany Hail.
The course Of the Republicans Is all
the more a mystery because by their
action they gain neither offices nor any
thing else. Tammany Is so strongly
~intrenched in most Of the districts of
the city that it does not have to buy off
the Republicans.
Mr. Plat will. have some say. in the
matter OF Robinson's proposed with
drawal. II Comptroller Myers will &C
cept an independent nomination ex-
Judge Patterson may be overruled.
Mr.. Plat has the final say, after all.
He is the engineer of the machine. He
is now looking at the show which he
gave to Chicago. He is expected back
before Friday, when the independents
hold their mass-meetinS.
