The Tammany Hall Democracy, now
that there is no longer any hope of max
ing deal with the Grace Democracy,
has decided to hold its County Conven-
ton tonight.
1t will hold its County Convention to-
night and put a ticket In the field with
out further loss of time
A meeting of Mayor Gilroy's Advisory
Committee of Eight was held at Tam
many Hall this morning.
Mayor Gilroy and his eight looked any,
thing but happy. They recognized the
fact that the action of the State De-
mocracy last night left them no alter
native but to go 1t alone, and the most
sanguine of them would not say that
Tammany had prospect of winning
against combination of all the anti
Tammany forces. such as now seems
certain. When the Mayor was asked his
opinion of the outlook, he said.
Il cannot say a word yet. The Ad-
visory Committee will look into matters,
and after the meeting is over l may
have something to say
The other members of the Committee
would not say word for publication.
that the deal which was planned be-
tween Tammany and the State Democ-
racy had been declared off because Tam
many refused to let Grace name the
candidate for Mayor on a deal ticket
The heelers who dropped into Tam
many Hall during the morning were
even more sad looking than the leaders.
They denounced the State Democrats
bitterly, and declared that Grace would
be responsible for Republican Cover
nor and Legislature.
Mayor Gilroy came out OF the meeting
for moment, and remarked to the re-
porters that Tammany's County Con-
vention would surely be held tonight and
straight ticket put in the field at once.
From this 1t was inferred that a slate
was being made up at the meeting OF the
Eight for submission to the Executive
Committee, which meets at p. NJ, and
later for presentation to the Convention
After noon news came out of the
Committee room that the discussion
over Mayoralty candidate was still in
progress, and that these names were
under considerations: Charles II. Knox,
Robert McClave Andrew H. Green,
Nathan Straus, Theodore w. Myers
Postmaster Charles w. Dayton.
Mayor Gilroy was In communicat ton
with several of these gentlemen by tel
ephone, but he would give no intimation
as to which one was likely to be chosen.
The district leaders who gathered at
the hall to get the latest news were gen.
| orally agreed about the rest of the
| ticket, excepting the Coroners. They
thought it would be made up as fol
| lows:
For Observation-Disclosures Smyth.
For Sherin-John +. Ahearn.
For President Of the Board of Aldermen-Rollr
VI. Morgan or A. W. Peters.
For Judge OF the Superior Court-Charies H.
TruaX.
1t was said that Postmaster Dayton
had been urged to accept the nomina-
| ton. but was reluctant to do so
Messrs Green. Knox and McClay had
not been considered until this morning
At 1880 o'clock, Mayor Gilroy left the
| committee-room. He said he was going
to lunch, and that 1t was likely that the
| Committee would remain in session until
