executive committee viii be called to-
gether at the wigwam Thursday after
noon. 10 make the final arrangements
for the Buffalo convention.
1t is proposed to send great array
of the braves to the state convention
so that they can hurrah for the Bryan
ticket. Special trains viii be dispatch
ed over four of the railroads leading
,sn.o Buffalo.
Tammany may even return to its old
plan OF having brass band to escort
the warriors on their arrival in the con-
Vention city. What is more to the point,
Tam lany win spring the unit rule on
its elected delegates in case it is found
that there are any troublesome Sound
money" men in the delegation.
will the Tammany delegates vote to
indorse the Chicago platform as well as
tie Chicago candidates." Mr.. John C.
Sheehan was asked yesterday
81 cannot say as to that" was the re-
sponse.''
SWEPT CLEAN.
Friends of the regular Republican
state organization practically swept the
city clean at the conventions held last
night In but FIVE assembly districts
out Of the thirty-five were there pnchal-
1ef-ged delegations sent to Saratoga to
oppose them.
From every indication the regulars
will have III out of the 1876 delegates.
In some districts always heretofore con-
trolled by the ants, the vote was ex-
ceedlngly close.
In addition to the contest for the local
supremacy, the gubernatorial nomina-
ton entered into the election. friends
of Fish and Aldridge both claiming the
honors after the fray. National Com
mitteeman Gibbs offers to wager hats
by the case that Fish would not only
have two-thirds of the delegation, but
would be the nominee.
Tickets for the meeting on Thursday
night in Carnegie Music Hall, when the
Hon. Benjamin Harrison viii speak,
will be ready tomorrow. They will be
given out at the headquarters of the
Republican state committee. There is
an unlimited demand for admission, and
the prospect is that the hall will not
hold one-half the voters who want to
pear the ex-president.
THE PUGS.
James j. Corbett and Dan Lynch, the
latter representing Tom Sharkey, will
meet on Monday to settle the prelimi-
nary details for their fight, select the
battle ground, deposit the second forfeit
of 81, 500. and choose final stake holder
There is no use in prolonging the
agony, [ suppose said Corbett yester-
day. I'VE are matched, and the sooner
everything is settled the better. Shar-
key, l think. is as anxious to begin
training as l am, and a fighter cannot
enter into the spirit Of his work until
he is assured that everything is arrang-
ed satisfactorily.
s'Ndr. Lynch is in New York ready to
arrange the final details and 1 will meet
him at the Police Gazette Office on Mon
day. and 1 shall begin taking light
work Immediately after.
when do l think the fight viii take
Blace? We'll, the articles signed in June
call for it to take place within six
months from that time, but I shall be
satisfied to have it come off within six
weeks or two months from now.
THAT viii give me ample time TO get
in condition. and / appreciate the fact
that / win have to be at my best to
beat Sharkey He is a big, strong fell
low and clever enough to bother any
body.
rEC,JTT JARTY HIS OWN
His style of fighting is peculiarly his
own. but ] think 1 sized up his knowl-
edge of the game in the Frisco bout,
and know pretty well how 10 beat him.
where viii we fight? Now, that is
q question that only the club managers
can answer. The National club of San
Francisco has offered a 500, 600 purse,
and l have not heard any talk of rails
ing it Any old place will suit me. how
ever. I want the best purse to be got.
