The Tammany Hall Democracy, now
that there is no longer any hope Of maxi
ing a deal with the Grace Democracy
has decided to hold its County Conven-
ton tonight.
1t will hold its County Convention to-
night and put a ticket in the field with
out further loss of time
A meeting of Mayor Gilroy's Advisory
Committee Of Eight was held at Tam
many Hall this morning
Mayor Gilroy and his eight looked any
thing but happy. They recognized the
fact that the action OF the State De-
mocracy last night left them no alter
native but to go 1t alone. and the most
sanguine of them would not say that
Tammany had a prospect of winning
against a combination of all the anti
Tammany forces, such as now seems
certain. When the Mayor was asked his
opinion of the outlook he said:
Il cannot say a word yet. The Ad-
vlsory Committee will look into matters.
and after the meeting is over l may
have something to say"
The other members OF the Committee
would not say word for publication.
One Of them gave out an intimation
that the deal which was planned be-
tween Tammany and the State Democ-
racy had been declared off because Tam
many refused to let Grace name the
candidate for Mayor on a deal ticket.
The heelers who dropped into Tam
many Hall during the morning were
even more sad looking than the leaders.
They denounced the State Democrats
bitterly, and declared that Grace would
be responsible for a Republican Cover
nor and Legislature.
Mayor G.lroy came out OF the meeting
for a moment. and remarked to the re-
porters that Tammany's County Con.
vention would surely be held tonight and
straight ticket put In the field at once
From this II was inferred that a slate
was being made up at the meeting OF the
Eight for submission to the Executive
Committee. which meets at 4 p NJ, and
later for presentation to the Convention
After noon news came out of the
Committee room that the discussion
| over a Mayoralty candidate was still in
progress, and that these names were
| under consideration: Charles II. Knox
Robert McClave. Andrew II. Green,
| Nathan Straus, Theodore w. Myers
| Postmaster Charles w. Dayton.
Mayor Gilroy was in communication
with several Of these gentlemen by tel
ephone, but he would give no intimatio
as to which one was likely to be chosen.
The district leaders who gathered at
the hall to get the latest news were gen.
orally agreed about the rest OF the
| ticket, excepting the Coroners. They
thought 1t would be made up as fol-
| lows:
For Observation-Disclosures Smyth.
For Sherir-John F. Ahearn
For President OF the Board OF Aldermen-RolliI
| VI. Morgan or A. W, Peters
For Judge OF the Superior Court-Charies H.
Truax.
1t was said that Postmaster Dayton
had been urged to accept the nomina-
| t.or. but was reluctant to do so.
Messrs Green. Knox and McClay had
| not been considered until this morning.
At 1890 O'Clock. Mayor Gilroy left the
| committee-room. He said he was going
to lunch, and that 1t was likely that the
Committee would remain in session until
| the Executive Committee meeting.
James ]. Martin, Chairman of the Elk.
| ecutive Committee, was asked II Judge
| OLIVER had resigned the leadership OF
the Second District.
II have not received his resignation -
said Mr.. Martin.
DO you expect it7" asked the re-
porter.
III can only say that have not re-
| ceived It," was Mr.. Martins reply.
