The sentiment among Republicans who stand
for municipal reform and support the present city
administration Is largely In favor OF union ticket
against Tammany this fall There Is no doubt
that Mayor Strong believes that the coming cam
paign In the city ought to be conducted on practi-
cally the lines made last years politlcal
battle sweeping victory for reform. Commits
sioner Brookheld Cornelius ~ Bliss. General An
G. McCook. Colonel S. V. r. Cruger General
Samuel Thomas and all the leaders OF what is gem
orally known as the Brookfeld faction undoubtedly
agree with the Mayor In this regard. Inc various
city departments have been wrested from Tam
many since the last election. Nearly all or them
| under the control OF the Republicans. Not one
is menaced by Tammany Hall. on a square reform
issue the friends of the city administration feel
confident that they can win by a handsome ma
jority. whatever the huckstering politicians OF the
factions may do.
Considerable interest was taken yesterday In
report that Thomas c. Plat. whose retainers nave
been talking 10 the beauties OF straight ticket
for some time had made offer to assent to
union city and county ticket OF Republicans. Anti

Nobody on the anti-P Plat side could be found yes
terday who would admit having received such an
"ultimatum' from MIR. Plat. and several of them
said that II was matte- OF supreme lnoinefehce 10

terday 'If Platt wants to 20 In with croker again
this fall all right The people Of New-fork are
satisfied with this administration and mean TO sus-
tain IT, straight Platt ticket wouldn't get 1890
votes and those would probably be cast direct Tor
Tammany If Plat had district ticket in the
field"
Mr. P,att himself denied that there was any truth
in the report. IL have made no proposition OF any
description relating to combination ticket ne
said 'and I have neither authorized nor assente1
n ANYTHING % the kind ! have not spoken on the
suhtect Of compromise 10 any one. nor nave
held communication with anybody either directly
or indirectly concerning the kind Of ticket to be
