IS ANXIOUS TO GET RELIEF FROM
CROKER's BITTER PILL.

CONTINUED TALK ABOUT THE WITHDRAWAL OF
VAN wycK-PossIRILIrY OF AN APPEAL
TO BRYLN TO CALL OFF GEORGE.
The feeling OF dissatisfaction and alarm that
fell upon Tammany Hall wnen Ricnaro
Croker's ticket was nominated by the Demo-
cratic City Convention on Thursday night at
the Grand Central Pslace seems to have de-
welcomed into a veritaol, panic. NO set or noml-
nations heretofore dictated by the Wig"am
hosses within the memory Of NETWORKS old

md codness which have followed the forced
Election ~ Van WICK Coler and Rupert. Up

r,aniza.ioo might give place TO less aggra-
ya,e1 condition OF things That hope was
abandoned Yesterday by the far-seeing. and
.here was a concentrated effort to find. II pos
.,,,. sone way Of escape from the present dis
bearter,ng situation.
At Tammany Hall yesterday the question
unnermost in the minds of the managers and
their intimates was how TO escape from the
doom which they privately admitted was
awaiting their ticket Mr. Croker and MI
shcehan believe that the main trouble to be

wings Of the Bryan Silver party. and who Is

to be held in Cooper Union next Tuesday even

Croker has sought to open communication with
William j. Bryan the recognized idol OF the
George people 10 secure MIR. Bryans kindly
offices in getting Mr.. George out OF the race
This makeshft was not seriously denied yes
terday by those who are in Cookers confidence
but its success was not expected. Bryan wants
the silver agitation to go oh. ana ne woulu
be the last man to put straw in its way
Nevertheless, every man about the Wigwam
possessed Of scntilla of political sense knew
that the experiment of getting George to With

The friends Of Judge Dugro said yesterday
that his acceptance OF the nomination hinged
on the expediency Of making rom Crazy the

Judge Dugro refused to head ticket wnich

an un,ovn district Yesterday and he frankly
told Croker that if Grady went on the ticket he
(Dugro) could not accept the nomination for
Mayor. Croker was anxious that Dugro should
accept, but. for reasons of his own, ne Is ; III.

DENIED BY JUDGE VAN WICK
Mr. Van wyck Joined with Mr.. Sheehan yes
terday IN denying that thee was anything IN
the rumor OF his intended withdrawal, but II Is
known that the Judge is ready to send IN MS
letter OF declination the moment he Is Informed
that the exigencies of the campaign demand IL.
Tammanys troubles do not come sngly. Inc
announcement Of William c. Whitneys de-
narture for Europe with his wife yesterday Gre
ated a decidedly unpleasant impression among
she Tammany warriors. That he should now
leave the country on long trip ABROAD was a
natnfuI surprise 10 the men who nave peeh
sxnect,nc great things from Mr.. whitney IN
the existing campaign. They not only looked
for advice and counsel from this skilled ponti-
cal manipulator but they expected heavy con-
tributions to meet "the legitimate expenses or
the canvass" They had been kind TO him when
he asked for railway franchises ana numerous
privileges which the city authorities couid grant
when they were in the ascendancy, and tney
thought that a reasonable return would be IN
order now. II was said that Mr.. Whitney couid
not possibly get back TO vote FOR van WycK.
He had postponed mis- trip last spring. the ram
many men thought. for the purpose or heiping
them in this campaign. Now they found IL was
only TO look after his railroad and other cor
norate interests The ingratitude Of some men.
they concluded, was past belief. Mr.. and Mrs
whitney sailed on the Lucania yesterday.
