This ticket, a 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-House
hall last night. But Patterson's little
theatrical by-play fell fiat.
The candidates he named are n very
respectable lot, but they are very little
known outside of limited legal ana buSi-
ness circles.
Charles ii. Murray gained notoriet,
through his connection with the Porter
census, and when he war s~ubse1uentG
Peter II. Mcdonald. one of the candi
dates for Coroner. is known to the pub
lie rs the Republican leader of the
Twenty-siXth District.
Messrs. Addoms, Olcott, O'Connell ant
Townley. the four candidates for judi
cial officers. are cminently respcctabl,
lawyers. Henry G. Robinson is "A whole
sale dry-goods meschant of excellen'
standing. But responsibility alone nevel
elected u Republican candidate in thi!
city.
The Independent Democrats and other
anti-Tammany organizations have n plar
by which the Republican candidates vii
get more votes. 1t is that the Republi.
cans withdraw their candidate for Comp.
the name Of Theodore w. Myers, who
he will take it.
The Myers movement Is backed b,
the stock Exchange. ana the Business
Mems Democratic Organization.
h Republicans have polled yer,
nearly 100000 votes in this city. but ir
apathy that exists among voters, they
viii probably not poll a large Vote.
If the COMPREHENSIVE was made. ar
issue, however, with a strong candidat,
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 hi.
ticket was nominated, and the candi
dates accepted the nominations, to stay
in the field. There will be no with,
drawal, he said. in favor of any Demo
GRAFT.
The Republicans have strengthened tbs
Tammany ticket everywhere in the cit,
by refusing to make combinations with
the anti-Tammany factions. 1t is .tc
practical politicians even a mystery why
the Republicans have refused to max,
alliances. when by such II curse the de
feat of Tammany Hall was almost GER
tain. One of their, primary objects was
understood to be the accomplishment o.
the downfall of Tammany Hall.
The course OF the Republicans is al
the more a mystery because by theiI
action they gain neither offices nor any
thing else. Tammany Is so strongly
i~ntrenched in most of the districts OF
the city that It does not have to buy OF
the Republicans
Mr. Plat will have some say in tn,
matter Of Robinsen's proposed with
drawal. If 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 ht
gave to Chicago. He is expected bach
before Friday. when the independents
hold their ~mass-meeting.
