ARE LIKELY TO DO.


The Committee Of Seventys conferrees Will
meet at II a. m. to-day at the rooms OF the
Chamber Of Commerce and take up the situation
as II has been changed by the withdrawal oi the
candidates upon the ticket taken from the ranks

associates having withdrawn from the combina-
,,on the Committee Of Seventy will be obliged
70 suggest other names The contemplated

ton of Johr W. Gon for Recorder. as he has
been accepted by the Republicans Of all organiza-
tions by the O'Bren and the Steckler Democ-

HOW CAN THEY UNITE WITH TAMMANN?
II is difficult for most people to understand
how an organization like that of the New-lor
State Democracy. which Mr.. Grace repea'euy
declared during the first four of hVe months -"
tho current wear would never make another
deal with Tammany, even To save 'he p'"'
cratic State ticket" should now enter INTO an
alliance with Tammany Hall, which Grace ana
his fellow-crators hay" been denouncihE eNci
since the last general election as tne most cor

marauders :hat ever cursed the city. Yet lndl-
cations have been multiplying that MT. "ra'r -

which Tammany can indorS'. The lower giadrS

Prudent men in both the Tammany and
