WHY lie RESIGNS
Colonel Brown yesterday. with the bluffness ~
the soldier that he is, gave some ~ the reasons
which had induced hs resignation. Crok"r's
suid"n seiZure Of the pov crs of leadership in
volynF Shechan's displacement plainly had
much To- do with the Coloncis action I'm sever
ing his relations with the Tammany Han Fly
cruiiVe Committee
Il lid no; ask g. bc taken int Tammany
Hall" Colonel Brown said. "Tammany Hall
came To- me. | vas asked by Mr. Sheehan when
he was preparing for his Greater New-York
campaign e. ente- tre field | greatly admire
Ir Sheehau and promptly consented to aid
him In the work h. had undertaken. \ COM
mittce was Greater foI ne and have done all
in my power 90 make Mr. Shcchans work
success
John g. Shoehan wanted good men for office
this year. He did no; care who they wott -
long a. they were good. clean honest. capable
men IL wanted success ia Create New York.
But for reasons which VIII soon be fully under
stood. II they ar" not already the conditions he
came changed. II is not necessary now t. 20
into details bui we all know that tn conditions
changed. IT was pot so long ago. either. Ny
frieri Shcehan It seems has surrendered Under
th, So circumstances | can be Of no further use
to him. so I have forwarded my resignation
Now as to the county ticket | want to s'e
men nominated that honest men can go out on
the corners and defend. l am opposed to Mr.
G,adl for D.strict-Attornc, and viii not sup
port him-nor will my paper | have no candi-
date for rDistrict-Attorney--no person that am
seeking to put there. Tammany Hall can win II
It's ticket is not loaded down with names which
the public dscrcdits II Grady is on the ticket
he will be showed under by an avalanche Of
votes on Election Day. Tho very suggestion of
his name for the -Attorneyship has
thrown the voters ~ this city into furor. The
better class of voters even In Tammany Hal
Will not support him"
"Whom will you support for Mayor" Colonel
Brown was asked
Van Wyck. OF course" he answ cred promptly
and almost savagcy though he detected
doubt as 20 his party loyalty IN the question.
you search Tammany Hall with Ane
tooth comb and not find better man for Mayor
than Judge Van Wyck'
GRADY TO RE NOMINATED
IN solfe Of Colonel Browns eloquent arraign-
rlent Of TON" Grady and the fact that an
extremely largo majority os mon in Tammany
Hall do not want To see him on tho ticket the
best Informed OF the inner circle OF the Wgwam
believed Yesterday that ne would be nominated
FOR District-Attorney this afternoon. They also
believe that when his name IL presented not
voice viii be raised against him. so powerful Is
the word of Croker among the politicians who
compose the Tammany Executive Committee
That body Viii meet this afternoon at
o'clock one hour before tho time for calling the
Tammany County Convention to order. There
was n conspicuous absence ~ speculation as to.
who the candidates VIII hc at Tammany Hall
and ;hc Hoffman House yesterday The fact
was that every man knew that Mr. Croker had
taken the matter into his own hands completely.
and that he would have ticket nj Tammany
Hall when the Executive Committee meets to-
dav. 10 suit himself Sheehan plainly was
ignorant ~ the Ross's purposes and 1t said
had not been taken into the lattcrs confidence
even FOR purposes of consultation
Tho impression in Tammany circles last night
WAS hat Grady's nomination was sure. Grady
himself said that he never was more certain
Of getting something Of what was coming to
him" Others said '1at Croker meant to show
Pill -,rown and some other people who had
tried to frightcn him from putting Grady on the
ticke. that he Crokerp didn't scare easily"
For Sheriff II was said that William Sohmer
might still have a chance. but the preponderance
or belief was that I'a;rck Keenan, was sure Of
the Shrievalty.
"u IS fine office with fees galore" explained
Wigwamitc last night. Pat keenan, under
stands addition. division and silence. and Croker
knows H. He sr'' sure about Sohmer or any
other Du,chman. That's the reason I'm betting
on keenan,.
SOHMERS CHANCES
II the place of Sheriff goes to keenan, Sohmer
II was .aid. riirht possibly have the County
Clerkship. and that he ought 10 consider him

made over the Mayoraty Ex-Register Ferdl-

his friends said that he stood a chance ~ going
