GAYNOR AND SHEPARD OUT.
The TURNER'S Friends Way Organize
for Revenge.

In Brooklyn the opinion prevails that
Justice Gaynor's declinaiUn has caused
by the attitude of the Shepard faction
War has been declared by Justice Gay
nor's friends They say that they will
organize as the Gaynor faction and work
to destroy the Shepard wing Of the De-
mocracy in Kings County.
Justice Gaynor. 1t is said, regards
Shepard and his faction as political
enemies.
some politicians who ought to know
what they are talking about, said this
morning that within the next few days
new developments will arise that will
create u sensation in the ranks of the
Shepard people.
The followers of Mr.. Bell had been led
to believe all along that Justice Gaynor
would accept the nomination, and Major
liinckley's statement yesterday made
them sure of II.
Justice Gaynor was criticised on all
sides for waiting so long before declin-
ing.
Secretary Edwards. OF the Shepard De-
moCracy, and the other members of the
faction this morning claimed that they
forced Justice Gaynor out Of the race.

Candidate for Senator
Continuous Sessions, He Says, Have
Broken Down His Health.

TRENTON. N. j.. Oct. e.-Senator
John X. Mcpherson has announced his
intention to retire from public life. In
letter to Moses Bigelow he states that
after full elaboration he has decided
that he cannot return to the United
States Senate even II his party sees fit
to elect him again.
Senator Mcpherson says that the last
four years in the Senate were almost
continuous sessions. and that the great
strain put upon him broke down his
health, and that this is the main reason
that he does not desire to return to the
Senate. Senator Mcpherson told a re-
porter to-day that he had nothing to say
on the matter and that his letter to Mr..
Bigelow spoke for itself.
The letter Is as follows:

be able to say that Of the votes there given

the Tammany leader in the Twenty
