The best obtainable information yesterday
was TO the effect that the chief Republican ma
cbinist of the State was in an extremely wrath
ful condition Of mind on account of the support
given by delegates from Brooklyn to the Me
Kinley movement in the convention Oh Tuesday
evening, and that as punishment for their
oudacity In defying his will he would use all the
means in his power to force the Greater New
York bill through the Assembly without ftlr-
Their delay 1t is easy to believe this. 1t Is not
difficult to credit any intention ascribed to their
chief by men like Speaker Fish and Senator
Lexow, both Of whom predicted that the bill
in question would so through with ease. II
looks like a cheap revenge now, but without
doubt it will prove dear In the end.
