Hugh J. Grant Takes the Nomination
Declined by Nathan Straus.

Hugh ]. Grant was named as Tammany's
candidate for Mayor. vice Nathan Straus
withdrawn, at the meeting Of the executive
committee in Tammany Hall yesterday af-
ternoon.
The ex-mayor said in the morning that
he would not accept a nomination, but he
changed his mind after a long conference
with a committee composed of Senator ].
W. Plunkitt, chairman; Pat. Keenan,, John
Reilly, j.. T. Carroll, I. f. Sullivan. ]. W.
Boyle and Michael c. Murphy, who had
tracked him there and urged him to make
the race. He went direct to Tammany Hall,
where the executive committee soon after
ward went into executive session and
named him as the organizations candidate
for mayor
MIR. Grants response in substance was
as follows:
MY determination to accept is based upon
conditions which I will hereafter state SO
ttat there can be no mistake about my DO
sition. had determined never to take pub
lie office again. but as L favored the nomi-
nation OF Mr.. Straus. feel that 1 am some
what responsible for his being named /
feel extremely sorry for the course Mr.
Straus has taken But as MIR. Straus has
declined, and you have been so extremely
kind to me, will show my appreciation of
IT by accepting the nomination. My condi-
tons are that such candidates now on the
ticket whose candidacy 1 regard as iniudi-
cious shall be removed from the ticket"
The committee then escorted Mr. Grant
around to Tammany Hail. 1t was an
nounced that new platform had been pre-
pared expressly for Mr. Grant This new plat
form attacks first the apportionment proyid-
ed for in the constitutional amendment and
says democrats must fight against so unjust
division of district representation The
Sherman silver bill is held responsible for
the recent hard times and the platform also
denounces the A. p. A.

never heard OF again until lSO, when he
was candidate for the republican nomtna-
ton for Congress from the NTH district
but was defeated In the convention. Last
man OF the republican county convention OF
Geary county. He died at his home near
Junction City last July.
Plumb and Perkins.
Harvey's successor was Preston B. Plumb
who was twice reelected. He was SERVING
his third term In the Senate when he died
suddenly in Washington In December. 1881.
Plumb's death was 80 unexpected that II
seemed tragical to the people of Kansas,
among whom he had more warm personal
friends than any other public man who ever
attained prominence in public life in the
state. On New Year day. 1892, Governor
Humphrey presented Bishop w. Perkins
who the year before had been defeated for
reelection to Congress after having served
hve terms, with a commission as United
states Senator. He served fourteen months
when the legislature elected John Martin 10
serve out what remained of Senator Plumb
term. Perkins was a candidate for the re-
publican caucus nomination, but was de-
feated by Joseph w. Ady. He again be-
came candidate for the republican caucus
nomination this year. and was in Topeka to
attend the republican state convention las,
June. He then went to Washington, where
he died almost as suddenly as Plumb. be-
fore the end of the month.
John Martin is the only democrat who
ever represented Kansas In the United
States Senate. and there is a cloud on the
title to his seat. He was elected by the
populists. with the assistance OF a few
democrats. He Is a candidate for re-elec.
ton, but the chances are greatly against
him, as he has lost the confidence of the
populists because OF his support of Presi.
dent Cleveland in the Senate, and they de-
clare that rather than give him their sup
port for second term they will assist a
republican. Martin had been home but a
few days when he was called to the death
bed of his favorite son. Added to this sor.
row, Is the serious Illness of his wife. IL Is
doubtful If he takes any part in the cam
paign, so keenly does he feel his afiiiction.
The Lane senatorial succession will. then.
fall to some one else, and ex-senator In
gals is determined that IL shall not he him
There arc. however, many men. both In the
populist and republican parties. who are
anxious to tempt fate and the contest is as
spirited as IL would be IL all who had oc-
cupied the chair had enjoyed the most
pleasant and successful careers Unlike
ingalls,, their yearning for senatorial honors
overcomes their superstition.

accept, going to those states In about ten
days or two weeks.
To sum up. the contest in Alabama has
practically narrowed down to a fight for
control Of the fourth fifth, seventh and
ninth districts. These may be regarded as
more or less doubtful. In all Of them EXCEPT
the fourth the Kolbites, populists and re-
publicans are practically united. In the
fourth district there is considerable dissat-
isfactfon among Kolbites and populists, who
object to supporting q republican. The
same dissatisfaction to less extent may be
said to prevail in the ninth. Otherwise the
fusion Is complete.
