rs the candidate Of the anli-Tammany and amt
Straus Democrats in this city. ana 10 get all
the votes in the marke.. He blunty declares,
in effect. that TammHny must be Wiling I"
sacrifice its city for the State ticket. and 10 ac-
ccp, a tremendous overthrow and smash for the
satisfying delight of placing him in the Gov
errors chair Nj Straus does not feel that he
is called upon to be Il packhorsc for all the Dem
ocrotic rottcnness in the city and State. and as
his chances Of election are not rosy, ne SlEhlh-
cantlv remarks that he has not yet acc'pl'u
thn nomination and has an ultlinatulh ol HIS
own The answer To that ultimatum Is expect
cd this morning. and Mr.. Straus VIII prooaDiy
decline the nomination. Indeed he uidouo''n-
" knows already what the answer is ana MS
retirement is only deferred until the Tammany
leaders can scour the bywayS and hedges ana

the men who supported the Wilson bill are
equally enemies Of true Democracy. ms
troubles Mr.. Straus still more. The anti-lAm-
many Democrats are going 10 get great many
votes from Free Traders and straighout TarlH
Reformcrs for their Congressional candidates.
and aS things run these votes may be cast
against Mr. Straus. the candidate for Mayor

What the Democrats want is harmony. as Sen
ator Hill urges. They ought TO vote for anybody
labelled Democrat. no matter whether he is
thief and the willing tool Of thieves or IN hon
est man and the candidate of honest men; no
matter whether he is a Free Trader with Mr..
Fairchild or a Protcciionist with Senator Hill

too much for his stomach. even when he has
men like Mr.. Coudcrt and Mr. Anderson 10

are going 10 sell him out, and trade him off for

If he stands According 10 the latest indica-
TONS Mr. Straus will make a virtue Of rcSigna
