Comforting Organizations Claim
the Right to Select Some Of
the Candidates.
GRACE MAY GO 1T ALONE NOW.
Report that He IS to Head a Ticket
That Will Also Name Golf
for Recorder.

Inc tlchet olereu last nlBnt Dy tne
Committee of Seventy. in its confer
ence with the anti-Tammany organiza-
tons, and part of which was after
wards Endorsed by the Republican Coun-
ty Convention. will in all probability be
remodelled.
The Republicans indorsed w. l.. Strong
for Mayor and John w. Goff for Re-
corder. but refused to accept the Grace
Democrats named for 'he other places.
the Grace delegates having bolted from
the Conference.
For the same reason the Xxx. will
consider names to be substituted
for those presented last night for
Sheriff, Superior Court Judge, President
Of the Board of Aldermen and for Cor
oners. 1t is expected that the O'Brien-
ties. Good Government Clubs. the Ger
man-American Reform Union and the
Independent County Organization Will
be represented on the new ticket
John w. Con- Endorses the selection
of w. L. Strong as the Union candidate
for Mayor, and Col. Strong Endorses the
selection of Mr.. Goff for Recorder.
There is still strong belief among
the parties to the conference, except
the Grace Democrats, that an accepta-
BILE union ticket will yet be presented.
1t has been suggested. and the sug-
gestion may be acted upon favorably,
that as the LXX.'s candidates for
Mayor and Recorder have been ac-
cepted. that body should grant the
other organizations that indorse Strong
and Con- the privilege of naming the
rest Of the ticket themselves.
AS the other parties to the conference
have political organizations and votes
back of them, and as the Xxx. has not,
the claim is made that sucn a conces-
sion Is not too much to ask or to en-
pect.
On the other hand. some few MEM
bers of the Xxx. say that body will
yet be forced to issue an address, stat
ing that. owing to the desire of politi-
clans to force certain candidates upon
the ticket and to deals between organi-
cations, the Committee is unable to agree
upon a ticket and will abandon the at
tempt.
The positive statement was made to an
Evening World reporter by one of the
leaders Of the Grsce-Fairchild organiza-
tion to-day, that at the Convention to
be held in Cooper Union on Tuesday
night, full local ticket would be nomi-
mated
The reporters informant had seen
Mr.. Grace after the conference in the
United Charities Building, last night.
and is a good authority.
The ticket will be almost entirely
Democratic, John w. Goff being slated
for Recorder. At the present time the
Indications are that William r. Grace
himself will take the Mayoralty nomi-
nation.
This latter belief is strengthened by
the statement made by Francis M. Scott
at the conference last night, and which
was told in THE Evening Worlds" Ex-
ira. He told the conference that on
one occasion an Anti-Tammany Demo-
crat had defeated both the Tammany
and Republican candidate for Mayor.
He was speaking of the election OF Grace
In 1854
And" he added, 1.-The same man and
the same conditions are alive to-day"
Conferences will be held to-day by
the leaders of the Grace-Fairchild COM
bination and the German reformers.
Henry r. Beekman one of Mr. Grace's
heutenants, and whose name was pre-
sented by the Committee OF Seventy for
Judge of the Superior Court. was seen
to-day.
1t would not be right" he said, for
me to talk about the proceedings last
night, or to say what the New York
democracy will do. II is reasonable,
however, to believe that there will be "a
.nird local ticket in this city. Confer
ICES, or course, are going on all the
tihe relative to Il. There Is a probablli-
OF some statement on the subject be-
