Strong for Mayor, Golf for Re-
corder and Independent DEM
ocrats for Other Places.
IF THE Xxx. HOLDS FOR G0FF.
What there Is for Tammany In o
Deal with the Grace
Democracy.

As result OF the failure OF the COM
mlttee of Xxx. and delegations from the
various Anti-Tammnny organizations
last night to agree upon John w. Goff
as "a union candidate for Mayor, 1t is
almost certain that the Republican
County Convention tonight will invite
the Independent County organization,
the AntiTammany organization and the
Good Government Clubs delegates to
join with 1t in placing a mixed ticket
in the field, and make a bold bid for
the support of the reform element Of
the local Democracy.
Only one thing, 1t Is said to-day. can
prevent such action, and that one thing
will be the decision of the Xxx. to
| name a Republican for Mayor. This
stand has been taken for the purpose,
II il declared, OF defeating the Harmony
deal by which Mr.. Grace expects to
name the county ticket and secure for
1t the Endorsement of Tammany Hall.
II the LXX. refuse to do this the Re
publican Convention, unless present
plans are changed, will put in the field
a ticket like this:
For President OF the Board of Aldermen-An
Independent Democrat.
For shern-The choice OF an anti-Tammany
organization.
For Recorder-JoHN W. GoFF.
For Judge Of the Superior Court-The choice 81
another anti-TammAny organization.
For Coroners-Two Independent Democrats
1t is expected that this combination
will be sufficiently strong to snow under
any sort OF local ticket the Grace-Hill- ,
Tammany Dealers can get in the field.
The Republicans claim to have 100000
votes, the Independent County Organiza-
tlon, 5000. and the OBrienites. 25,0OO q
total of 10000. 1t is expected that the
ticket outlined would catch at least
1900 OF the floating votes-that is. the
votes of 1900 persons not associated
with either OF the big parties-maklng a i
grand total OF la, 900 votes In 1888. when
Hugh j. Grant was the Tamany nominee
for Mayor, his election showed that the
full strength of the organization was
about $4,000. But 1t Is argued that In
that election at least 10000 fraudulent
votes were cast in this city. IT Is not
believed that Tammany, in this election. J.
will he able to find so many men willing
to take the chance of going to prison for
50 as 1t did in lass. and so the Republic
can managers feel confident that they
can win with the sort OF hybrid ticket
suggested.
All this, however, In the event of the
LXX. refusing 10 agree on Republican
for Mayor.
1t is almost certain that John w. Con
will refuse outright to accept the nomi-
nation for Mayor. The action OF he
LXN. last night indicates that that
body is not prepared TO attempt TO force
Mr. Con upon the conference, even
though Mr.. Grace would like to have 1t i.
do so
1t leaked out to-day that Mr., Grace's
agents worked hard TO get the Ink
to accept Mr. Goff and the vote By
which that ace ptance was agreed upon
shows that only a minority Of the
Inn voted in favor Of presenting Mr..
COTS name to the conference.
Only sixty m smbers of the Ink.
took part in the meeting, at which It
was decided to present Mr., Cons name.
OF these sixty there were twenty who
refused TO vote, twenty-fJur who voted
for Mr.. Goff ana sixteen who voted
against him.
Rev. DR.. Par&hurst chilled upon Mr..
Goff in his oiIl"e to-day and urged him
20 come out with q positive refusal to
run for Mayor II was pointed out to
him that the opposition 10 Tammany
could and would make him Recorder IL
he refused to run for Mayor Rev. DR..
Parkhurst refused 10 say what effect
his talk had had upon Mr.. Con- but he
ntimated that Mr.. Goft would accept
only the nomination for Recorder.
Mr.. Con himself declines to say any.
thing for publication.
There are to be some lively sessions
his afternoon on the subject of a union
ticket. The LINK. will meet for con-
ference the Republicans will hold q
,aucus, and the Grace delegates viii
meet at Cooper Union for instructions
Afterwards, at p. NJ. the adjourned
conference OF the Xxx. with the others
will be reconvened In the United Charl-
