THINK OF IT---WISSIG!
He Is One of the Men Named by
Tammany for Assembly.
Denunciations Heard on Every Side
Against the Wigwam.
OBJECTIONS Reported from Every
Quarter Of the City.

The nomination OF Philip WissIg for
the Assembly, was the chief topic Of
discussion among the politicians who
gathered al the City Han to-day Leader
Timothy DRY Dollar" Sullivan, who
forced Wlssig's nomination, was de-
nounced on all sides for adding to the
load that Tammany has to bear this year
An Alderman who does not pretend to
be a reformer. but who is shrewd
politician, said:
"Wissig disgraced himself and our
organization by his indecent speech in
the Assembly Chamber two years ago
and he ought to have been kept out Of
ponents OF Tammany will hold up Wis
sig az an object lesson In their
speeches all over the city, and he will
hurt every Tammany candidate for
I'VE don't mind swallowing silver
Dollar Smith. but Wissis is too much
Some of the Aldermen talked about
appealing to the Tammany Executive
Committee this afternoon TO secure Wis
sig's withdrawal, but this proposition
was met with the objection that Wissig
Is Sullivan's man. and Sullivan Is one OF
the chief lieutenants OF Henry u. Pur-
roy. who now dominates the Executive
Committee.

are pouring in TO the Reformers head
quarters of OBJECTIONS from the ranks
of Tammany Hall. II even one-half the

All sorts Oh causes are assigned for
the defections, hief among them . eing

distributing their patronage only among
their particular friends and relatives and

Zation.
One report which set the Democratic
managers running around at lively

port proved true. II was conceded that
trict. on one occasion, at least, Ahearn

by over 800 votes Since then he has
been admitted into the inner circles of
Tammany Hall, and has been regarded
as one OF the pillars Of that organize

Ex-Alderman Shields, as organizer and
President of the Jefferson AssOcia ton

such men as Police Justice Ryan, when
hhe ran for Alderman; Tim Campbell,
