GERMANS NOT DELIVERABLE.
They Baik Mt Being Sold Out 10 T%ammany-
May Mako NomiuAtIons.


The German-American voters of tho city are be-
ginning TO resent the assumption OF a few men
who have set themselves up as leaders among
them that they control the casting of the entire
German vote OF the city. and on that assump-
tion attempt to barter their influence for n few
places on the Tammany Hall ticket. Their resent.
mcnt is directed against the men who have
been running tho CARGO organization for the
past three years and have used the movement
to hold up political organizations andI secure
place Tor themselves or friends.
That influential German newspaper, the Her.
old, voiced the sentiment of the q resontful
German voters yesterday in an editorial in
which 1t said:
""lt Is with a feeling"of confidence In the in
tegrlty which Is ever an unmistakable charac-
teristic OF the German race that we assert that
the German voter of the Greater New York will
speak for himself. and not through self-ap-
pointed bosscO. and will further rcpudiato any
unauthorized contract with bosses or any one
else. ~

bosses nominate candidates whO are not cOnsid.

NOrIFICATION TO TlMMAyv.
The lfrookIyn Democracy Wants Either tho
FIrst or second Place on the rIcLct.

1t has been supposed all along that in the dis.
posa! of the high political honors by the Demo
cratic City Convention OF the Greater New
York. Brooklyn would have to be satisfied with
the privilege of naming the candidate for Prcsi-
dent of the Municipal Council. This, in fact.
seemed to be the understanding arr. we'd at at an
early stage OF the campaign at the frequent
conferences between tho Tammany and Brook
Ign leaders. Within a week or so the situation
has changed, and the Brooklyn Democracy will
now demand either the Mayoralty or Comptrol-
lership. EN-Register Hugh Mclaughlin had n
conference yesterday With the majority OF the
Assembly district leaders. and II was agreed
unanimously that, they would not be sat
isiied with anything except the first or
second place Oh the ticket. Chairman Der.
nard j. York of the Executive was
also sent over to New York to see Mr.. Shechan
and inform him OF the action taken. On his re-
turn Mr: York refused 10 talk about tho result
OF his mission to Mr.. Shcehan. but no intimntcd
that the wishes of the Kings county leaders
would be respected, and that there was no dan
ger OF n serious clash between Tammany Hall
I'VE shall insist" he said. upon naming
either the Mayor or Comptroller. We do not
specify which, but one OF the two PRINCIPAL city
offices must come TO Brooklyn. II is our right
That 1t should be SO. and we arc standing upon
and ] believe we will get it,"
IL is said that n few days ago Mr.. Shechan
sent word to Mr.. Mclaughlin that he could
name the President of the Council and also the
polls, and intimated that there might be trouble
in case New York did not get the first two
places on the ticket.
1t is said that II Brooklyn gets the Comptroller
I. Hendrix or ex'Congressman William H..
Coombs.

REPUBLICAN KICK IN SYRACUSE.
DisEruntied Mckinley I.enEuers Hold y Con-
vention ana Fuse with the Democrats.

FONbttt " - UNI
yention and Fuse with the Democrats.
SYRACUSE, Sept. 22.-Angered on account Of
their desertion by Congressman Belden and the
prospect OF harmony in the Republican party in
Onondaga, the radicals and hot heads of the Nc
Kinley League held a county convention this
afternoon and put in nomination a complete
county ticket, fusing with the Democrats.
When the Citizens Union, about three weeks
ago, nominated Donald Dey. an org ,nization
Republican for Mayor, the nomination was in
dorsed by Congressman Bclden's paper, the
Post, by the regular Republicans. and by the
City Committee Of the Mckinley League. In
the interest Of harmony, the Republican organ
~ization. in ats City Convention. nominated a
ticket which bore the names of prominent mem.
bers Of the Mckinley League. and this ticket
was Endorsed by the league. A small number of
the rank and file, who are always outside the
brcastworks, then made q lot OF noise and a
vicious kick which eliminated in to.day's con.
~vention.
The Republican Executive Committee,
through its Chairman. John S. Kenyon. made
overtures Of harmony to the Mckinley League
Convention to-day in a letter to the President
Of the league, proposing an adjustment of the
Objectionable rules" governing the Republi.
can party by n joint consisting of
three or five members appointed by the conven.
ton and AS many named by the Republican
General Committee. This offer. however, was
spurned by the leaguers. although its acceptance
was advocated on the floor OF the convention by
the most representative members OF the party.
who. were Kissed down by the heelers. The
Chairman denied the floor to accredited dele.
gates. and everything WAS rushed through a la
Tammany II.
A fusion ticket was then placed in nomina.
ton. comprising. stephen Thornton. Mckinley
League. for Sheriff; Albertus Rowley. Democrat,
for County Clerk; Edgar p; Glass; Republican
nominee, for Surrogate, and l.. {. Weaver. Dem.
ocrat, for Coroner. The platform denounces the
present policy and rules Of the Republican party
in Onondaga county as un-Anerican and unfair,
and demands Il complete abrogation of the rules
governing the party.
The whole move is the work OF a striking
aspirant Tor an Aldermanic nomination. who
has considerable influence with the floating
vote OF several wards, and who is said o have
made q proposition TO swing the Mckinley
League into line in city and county il the Re.
puhlicans would give him the Aldermanic
nomination In his ward. This they refused per-
cmptorily to do on account OF his previous I'M
savory record in the Common Council. Hence
the fusion ticket. The Fusionists are without
a newspaper organ. aside from the regular
Democratic newspapers OF the city. and, in
view OF the fact that the league has indorsed
the Republican city ticket. it is not likely that
its county ticket will receive very cordial sup
port from these papers.

Intimate Intention or AIDING TnmmnnJ.
Alton b. Parker's nomination as the Demo-
cratic candidate for Chief Judge OF the Court OF
Appeals was Endorsed yesterday by the state
Committee of the National Democratic party Mt
n meeting held Mt 81 William street, and Mr..
Parkcr's name will appear on the official ballot
under tho ship emblem of that party. Judge
Parkcr's nomination by the gold Democrats
was not n unanimous one. for there were
speeches made and several votes cast
in opposition. Most of tho opposition cainc
from up.country members who didn't like Judge
Parkcr's letter to Chairman Elliot Daniorth Of
the regular Democratic State Committee. an.
nouncing that he had voted for Bryan last year.
Their objections were ovcrriddcn by the mem
bers of the from tho Greater New
York, who were In n big majority, having SOW
cral proxies for country members.
The city members. under the leadership Of
Corporation Counsel Francis NJ. Scott. mani
tested a desire to do all they could to help the
regular Democracy and Tammany Hall. They
not ONLY apologized for Judge Parkcr's vote for
Bryan. but intimntcd their intention TO unite
with Tammany Hall and give IL two full tickets
under different cmblems on the official ballot.
Further than that, they expelled Mayor Patrick
j. Gleason of Long Island City from the State
Committee and appointed n committee to reor-
ganizc his party in Queens county. SO that the
Mayor cannot run his county, borough, and dis
trict candidates under the ship emblem to the
hurt of the regular Hill Democratic organiza.
ton in that county.
One thing which these gold Democrats would
not admit. however. Is that there are no State
and national issues in the coming contest, In
fact. they adopted a sort Of address which ex.
cuses their alliance with the free silver Chi.
cago platform forces o. reputation on the
ground that tho Federal Government under
Republican administration did not reform the
