COUNTIES A PUZZLE.
Politicians Kept Guessing as to
Which Ticket They Will Help.
Their Attitude as Regards Grace to
Be Made Public Ts-Morrow.
Some Believe They Will Nominate
Their Own Ticket.

The attitude of the Independent Coun-
ty ORGANIZATION towards the Committee
of LINKS union ticket will be definitely
made known tomorrow night at the
meeting of the County Committee at 66
Seventh street.
The Independents have exhibited dis
position to bolt the LXX.'s ticket be-
cause their Conference Committee was
not consulted as to the makeup of the
ticket. At the request of the LNN. the
Independents, who were first in the
field against Tammany, postponed their
County Convention and refrained from
putting up a ticket on the representa-
ton of the Xxx. that that body pro-
posed to put one in the field that would
represent all the organizations opposed
to Tammany Hall.
As the LXX.'s ticket is made up al
most exclusively of Grace Democracy
men, the exceptions being Strong "a Re-
publican) for Mayor and. Tamsen Ia
German-American Reformer for Sheriff,
the Independents feel that they have
been buncoed.
Overtures have been made to the
leaders of the Independents by Tam
many men to get them to indorse Straus
and the Tammany ticket, but these
overtures have failed of their purpose.
The Independents replied that they
were still opposed to Tammany, and
that peace with that organization could
not be purchased at any price; that
while they were displeased with the
action of the LINN, they proposed to
show that dispeasure in a way thor
oughly consistent with their past declar'
atoms.
This is taken to mean that the In.
dependents will either put up ticket
of their own or else nominate strong

decline 70 take any action as REGARDS

ticket.
