If Not They Will Make a Com
bination That Will Not
Include Mr.. Grace.
HAVE A PLAN OF THEIR OWN.
Want Strong for Mayor, Gon for
Recorder and independents
for Other Places.

the Chamber of Commerce this afternoon.
This announcement was made by Chair
man Smith, but he refused to say who
had been placed upon the ticket.
All the other members of the Commit
tee declined to give reporters the names
on the ticket chosen.
1t was said that Charles c. Beaman
would announce them at the Conference
Of the Anti-Tammny organizations to
be held at 4oclock this afternoon at the
United Charities Building and not before.
As a result Of the failure of the Com
mittee Of Xxx. and delegations from the
various Anti-Tammany organizations
last night to agree upon John w. Gofs
as union candidate for Mayor. It Is
almost certain that the Republican
County Convention tonight will invite
the Independent County organization,
the Anti-Tammany organization and the
Good Government Clubs delegates to
join with 1t in placing a mixed ticket
in the field. and make a bold bid for
the support OF the reform element of
the local Democracy.
Only one thing. II is said to-day. can
prevent such action, and that one thing
will be the decision OF the Xxx. to
name a Republican for Mayor. This
stand has been taken for the purpose,
1t Is declared, of defeating the Harmony
deal by which Mr.. Grace expects to
name the county ticket and secure for
1t the Endorsement of Tammany Hall.
The Probable Ticket.
II the Xxx. refuse to do this the Re
publican Convention, unless present
plans are changed, will put in the field
a ticket like this:
For Mayor-wILLIAM L. STRONG.
For President of the Board OF Aider-nsa-
ALFRED r. CoNKLING
For Shern-The choice OF an anu-TAmmAny
org nization.
For Recorder-JoHN W. GoFF,
For Judge OF the Superior court-rhs choios Il
another anti -Tammany organisation.
For Coroners-Two Independent Democrats
1t is expected that this combination
will be sufficiently strong to snow under
any sort OF local ticket the Grace-Hill-
Tammany Dealers can get in the nsld
The Republicans claim to have 10000
votes, the Independent County Organiza-
ton. $1,000 and the O'Brienites. 5000. a
total Of 10000. 1t is expected that the
ticket outlined would catch at least
Is, 900 of the floating" votes-that Is. tho
votes of 1900 persons not associated
with either OF the big parties-making u
grand total of l7b,0oO votes. In 1888. when
Hugh ]. Grant was the Tamany nominee
for Mayor, his election showed that the
full strength OF the organization was
about l1S,0oh But II Is argued that in
that election at least 10000 fraudulent
votes were cast in this city. 1t Is not
believed that Tammany. in this election.
will be able to find so many men willing
to take the chance of going to prison for
81 as II did In 1888, and so the Republic
can managers feel confident that they
can win with the sort of hybrid ticket
suggested.
All this, however, In the event OF the
Xxx. refusing TO agree on Republican
for Mayor
It is almost certain that John w. Com
will refuse outright to accept the nom,-
nation for Mayor. The action OF he
Xxx. last night indicates that that
body is not prepared to attempt to force
Mr. Con upon the conference, even
though Mr.. Grace would like TO have 1t
do so
Grace Won "a Votes out of 10.
It leaked out to-day that Mr.. Grace's
agents worked hard to get the Xxx.
to accept Mr.. Con, and the vote by
which that acceptance was agreed upon
shows that only a minority Of the
Xxx. voted in favor of presenting Mr..
Cons name to the conference.
Only sixty members OF the Xxx.
took part in the meeting. at which II
was decided to present Mr.. Goff's name.
OF these sixty there were twenty who
refused to vote, twenty-four who voted
for Mr.. Con and sixteen who voted
against him.
Rev. DR.. Parkhurst called upon Mr..
