Congressman Timothy j. Campbell, who va,
| turned down by Tammany Hall in the Ninth
district when he desired q denomination, has
been flirting with the Republicans, hoping 10 se.
cure their endorsement of him should he stand
as a candidate of the Grace Democracy. Tim 4,
very resourceful politician.
He has been elected in the district a. County
Democrat. Republican, and Tammany man.
In 1890 his Republican friends, Johnny Simp-
son and John Collins, the leaders in the Fifth
and Fourth Assembly districts helped to elect
him by securing for him the Republican
endorsement Two years later wnen Tim had
an easy race as the Tammany candidate, he
ignored his Republican friends Of 1890 and
their call on him for assistance In the way of
little deals.
He paid the penalty for II last night. The
Republican nomination which he has been
working for sssiduously for weeks and which he
declared on Friday he was going to get went to
another, and that other was the little brick top
Republican leader In the Fifth Assembly
district, who took It for the purpose he said Of
"rubbin' It into Tim" whom he characterized as
an "ungrateful Democrat"
Congressman Tim was the victim of . surprise.
He had captured Police Commissioner Murray's
delegation from the Third Assembly district,
and thought that the Jolly" he was getting
from Simpson and his old partner in tho oil
business, John Collins, would be productive OF
votes enough 10 secure his nomination In the
Republican Congress Convention.
Tim was badly fooled. Johnny Simpson and
John Collins were working him for guy" and
had the turning Joint" ready for him.
