VIRTUALLY ENDORSES THE Xxx.
Drops Otto Kempner for Sheriff and
Substitutes E. ]. H. Tamsea, Of

WILL THE REPUBLICANS soLT7
II They and the Xxx. Agree with
Grace the Problem Will
Have Been Solved.

The unexpected surrender OF the Grace
Democracy in its County Convention
last night and its practical Endorsement
OF most of the Inks Union ticket cam
d!dates has cleared the local political at
mOsphere a great deal. But there are
still two questions to be answered in the
affirmative before the Union local ticket
can be said to have been safely
launched.
One of these is: VIII the Republican
County Convention be permitted by
Thomas c. Plat to indorse the Grace
Democrats placed upon the ticket after
the names OF Strong and Con- by Mr..
Grace's Convention last night? There
IL great deal of doubt on this point,
and Mr.. Plat doesn't seem disposed to-
day to clear 1t up.
The other question Is: viii the Xxx
accept its own ticket, as remodelled by
the Grace Democrats to suit the wishes
OF Mr.. Grace? An affirmative answer to
this will probably be given by the Ink
to-day or tomorrow, but this ID in a
measure contingent upon what stand the
Republicans take.
As for Tammany Hall, there is nothing
left for that organization to do now but
select a straight ticket and prepare it's
candidates for the sacrifice as speedily
as possible. Mayor Gilroy's Advisory
Committee of Eight was called together
in Tammany Hall this morning to study
the new phases OF the situation and to
prepare a slate for the Executive Com
mittee, which will also hold a meeting
this afternoon
Here Is the municipal ticket which
has been placed In the field by the New
York State Democracy. 1t differs from
that recommended by the LNX. in regard
to only two candidates.
For Mayor-William l.. Strong Repub-
lican.
Democracy.
For President Board OF Aldermen
John ]. Jeroloman. State Democracy.
For Sheriff-Edward j. II. Tamsen,
German-American Reform Union.
For Judge Superior Court-Henry Il.
Beekman, State Democracy.
For Coroners-Dr. II. c. Andersen,
State Democracy; DR.. Emil w. Hoeber,
German-American Reform Union.
The name of Otto Kempner State
Democrat has been dropped and Ed
ward j. ". Tansen, of the German
American Reform Union. has taken his
place as candidate for Sheriff; while for
the office OF Coroner DR.. II. c. Ander-
son has been substituted for DR..
O'Meagher the choice of the Xxx
The collapse OF the deal between the
Grace Democrats and Tammany Hall
the aim of which was to secure local
ticket upon which both factions could
unite. Is one of the surprising and un.
expected developments of the State De.
mocracy's County Convention.
Up TO late hour yesterday afternoon
II was believed on all sides that William
r. Grace would get the nomina ton for
Mayor. and that his candidacy would re.
ceive the Endorsement OF Tammany Hall
In accordance with the programme
which. as every one supposed, had been
arranged among the leaders of the State
Democracy.
which the ticket OF the Committee OF
Seventy Is practically endorsed, was, 4
appears. decided upon only at the very
| last moment.
BY the action OF the Convention 1t Il
evident that all prospect OF IA coordination
OF the Grace forces and the Wigwamite
Ia at an end. on local offices at least
and that Tammany will have to fight tn
battle to retain Its supremacy alone.
The Republican County Convention ha
already Endorsed W. l.. Strong for Mayo
and John w. Con for Recorder, but ha
left open the other places on the ticket
and the general understanding has bee
that 1t proposed to lay claim to furthe
recognition in case a union ticket shout
be decided upon. The alternative. o
course, would be a straight Republlca
ticket. and, with the Grace ticket to spill
up the Democracy, the Republican
would have u good chance to win.
The causes which led to the break Il
the ranks OF the State Democracy an
the upsetting of the deal with Tamman
are somewhat obscure as yet. but fror
the statement made In the Convention
last evening by ex-Mayor Grace. 1
would appear that the pressure brough
to bear against any dealing whateve
with Tammany Hall was too strong t
be resisted, that this influence In tn
end prevailed, and 1t was finally de
cided as last resort TO accept tn
ticket OF the LINN, with its Republlca
candidate for Mayor. after certain mod
iications had been made in the rest O
the ticket.
This is remarkable concession, 1
view OF the statement made by Franci
NJ. Scott for Mr.. Grace at the LXX'
conference that the State Democrac
could not and would not indorse any
body but Democrat for Mayor.
