imous decision of the Committee. Mr..
Beaman answered that 1t was.
lie then took occasion to throw down
the gage OF battle to the various dee
cations Said he:
THE whole Committee intends to fight
for Its ticket, regardless what any organ
izaton may do"
He said It had better be shown at
once how many citizens there are In
New York who want good government.
Col. Strong. he said, would not ac-
cept unless the rest OF the ticket was
nominated.
The thing we have done Is the thing
fit to be done" he said, and II you re-
ject this man. you must assume the re-
sponsibility yourselves"

Francis NJ. Scott, OF the Grace De
mocracy, started the ball OF discomfort
rolling the moment Mr.. Beaman sat
down.
He claimed that the Committee of
LINK. had surrendered It's principles at
the dictation OF the Republican party.
Then he pointed out that yesterday the
Committee would have nobody at the
head of the ticket save a Democrat
John w. Goff.
'"To-day." lie said. you will have
nobody but Republican"
He declared that In all the conferences
held no mention had been made OF an
Intention to name full ticket.
Even IL you have drawn on our Or
ganization for some OF your candidates
| It does not follow that we must renomi-
nate the ticket at our Convention. nor
do l think that we will do So"
Continuing, he said that he did think
Republican could win In this city,
even IL Endorsed by all the anti-Tam-
many organizations.
