The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1894-10-22

wrestled with the problem OF successo,
ship. and wrestled with Hugh Grant, 70
the members of the committee were of on
mind i'm their desire TO have the ex-sherii
and ex-mayor become the organization
| candidate.
Why STRAINS reclined.
, New York, October 19-Tammany leaders
, began to gather at Nathan STRAUSS head
! quarters, Union Square hotel at $50 o'ciocl
; this morning with the expectation tina
! they would receive the news that Mr.
Strauss would formally declare himself ou
OF the race.
Hugh Grant the srnn.
Grant wasn't bit anxious ID have OF
honor which, under the circumstances. is &
dubious honor at best, but after much per.
suasi0n ne submitted the terms and condi-
tiOns under which ne would accept thS
nomination. and these Were promptly ac-
coded TO by the authorized representatives
OF the great organization.
| So. the man who refused to allow the
Tammany convention to be s,ampedel in
his favor finds himself again the leader and
stronger than ever the idol OF the Tam
many heart.
1t is one OF the most peculiar moves ever
made on the political chessboard.
| Naturally there are at this time many
opinions as TO its possible and probable
effects. and anything on that lire must
be surmise. pure and simple.
4 Look Into t,,e Causes.
| The causes which led up 10 Mr.. Strauss's
| decision have been explained IN the tele-
| graphic columns of The Constitution.
Senator Hills decision in favor of allow
| ing Mr.. Grace and his followers, who are
| supporting Mr.. Strong for mayor as the
| state democracy, to use the state demo-
| cratic ticket ut the head of their city
| ticket was the immediate cause, but there
are strong evidences that il was more the
| elimination Of series of causes.
The correspondence between the tyyo lead
ers is not yet complete. but Immediately
upon the return of The messenger Mr..
Strauss sent in his letter Of Geclination,
which was given 70 rhe press tonight. 1t
is probable thGs he was dishcartenCd on &C
count OF the conditions OF the campaign.
ami was glad 10 get cut of Il; 1T least that
is the opinion of the politicians.
The Rank and File Delighted.
The rank ami file Of Tammany didn't
warm up to Strauss. and the anti-Tam-
many campaign is being wagei with a de-
gree of vigor calculated to strike terror t.
the heart of a political novice like the great
merchant
So much FOR the cause Now word as
TO the effect of the declination.
There is Joy in Tammany hall tonight.
The boys have candidate after their own
heart and he is uEqucstionahly the strong
est man who could have been taken from
inside the organization. In two campaigns
has he swept this great city. At Tammany-i
hall found everybody apparently confident !
that he could DO il again.
