Mayor Gilroy said to-day:
such q thing as deal between
ramuany and the State Democracy has
,ot been considered and will not be
considered, so far as 1 know. That is
ali I propose to say about the matter"
When questioned about the Tammany
Campaign Committee Of Eight appoint
Al by the Tammany Executive Commit

/. h. had been ousted from the leadership
y Of Tammany Hall, the Mayor said:
You can interpret the appointment of

Charles Stewart Smith, of the Commit
tee Of Seventy, in a private room.
The two remained in conference half
IN hour.
When Mr. Gofr was finally seen by the
reporters he simply said:
II have nothing to say" and then
started for the elevator. There was a
cab waiting for him at the corner of
Broadway and Chambers street, and he
was driven hurriedly away. When he
returned, shortly before II o'clock, he
said to an Evening World reporter:

unexpected, and 1 am so immersed in
the business OF the Lexow Committee

serious consideration it demands"

shook his head and replied:
II cannot say anything more"
Gustav Schwao, OF the Committee OF
Seventy, said. on the subject Of the
Deal:
Il do not like to discuss the action of
Mr. Grace in putting forward the name
Of Mr.. Con for Mayor. 1t will doubtless
cause some lively discussion at the meet
Ing Of the Executive Committee of Sew
.nty to-day. 1t is for the Committee to
say what will be done about 1t"
Senator Saxton, Republican candidate
for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, was caught
coming out of Mr.. Thomas Platt's office
where he had doubtless been discussing
with the Republican leader the surpris-
ing new features that the local fight
has developed. He said:
There is no doubt whatever in my
mind that the Grace-Fairchild people
are going back on all their past utter
ances, threats and promises.
Il am satisfied that they are working
might and main with and for the Tam
many crowd, in the hope of securing
something for themselves. Their ac-
tons will not. in my opinion, have any
effect on the Republican State ticket.
Neither do 1 think they will materi-
ally affect the local situation. 1t is diff
cult to understand what Mr.. Grace and
the rest meant by putting forward the
name Of John w. Con for Mayor last
night.
mo one who knows Mr.. Con will be-
heve he will accept such a nomination"

Il don't say that" replied Mr.. Sax
ton. What do say is. that do not
Nee how they can accept anybody for
Mayor but a Republican. No one but a
strong Republican can bring out the
full Republican vote. What is wanted,
and what you will probably have, is
q strong man whose name will inspi e
confidence and get out the votes OF
those who earnestly desire reform.

Senator Hill gave his first interview &c
newspaper men at Democratic headquar
