CROKER MAKESUpA SLATE.
TRIES 1T ON THE GERMANS AND
THEY SAY II HON,F no,

The Tammnny leaders have begun the work
o. slate making for the city and county con.
~v'ntionS. Perhaps 1t would be more accurate
go say that Richard Croker has begun it, for the
'ra'o.iye slate which was made yesterday bears
evcgv evidence of having been his production.
This slate contained the following names:
For MSyor-Robert A. Van wyck.
For Comptroller-A Brooklyn Democrat TO be
named by %Tammany. Bird s. Coler OF e4t Hancock
street, Brooklyn, of the banking nrm OF W. N. Coler
y Co, Mutual Life Insurance Company building;
Julian \. Fairchild. President OF the Kings County
Trust Company. and Joseph c. Hendrix. President OF
the National Urtou Bank. Mutual Life Insurance

Fer President OF The Council-George r. Mcclellan, |
For sherin-AuguStus w. Peters.
For District Attcrney-rhomas F. Grady.
for County C~ierk-Patrick Keeusn.

supreme Court Justice Van Brunt's name was |
on the slate, those who saw it say, and they also !
assert that the name Of Justice Andrews was
not.
This slate was submitted to a prominent men,
Der of the GermRn-America Reform Union by
Il Tammary Hall leader and he was asked il the |
Germans would support 1t. He said emphati-
ca!ly that the Germans would not support it,
and then be was informed that it was only a
tentative slate and that Congressman Nc
Clellan's name might be substituted for that
OF Chief Justice Van Wyck for Mayor.
The German politician replied tartly that
that would make no difference; that the
county ticket proposed was entirely unaccepta-
BILE and that it would have to be materially
changed IL Tammany expected any considerable
support for the ticket from German-Americ
voters. He minated that not only do the Ger.
mans want a German on the city ticket but
they expect a good place on the county ticket,
and the politicians among them are unwilling

ative on the ticket. This reception of the
first slate by the Germans was reported to Mr..
Croker and Mr.. Shcchan. aud they were greatly
surprised that their advances had met with
such a repulse. Mr.. Croker is satisfied in his
own mind. it is said, that Tammany Hall can
win with almost anybody on the ticket. and no

leaders who have been faithful to the Wigwam
in adversely rs in the hours OF its triumph,
and whom Herr Tamsen a1ectionately de-
scrlbes as mick Mulligans." That he will
insist on the old hacks receiving good
places is positively asserted notwithstanding
the objections of Hugh Mclaughlin of Brook
lyn. who thinks that the line should be strength
ened by putting new men to the front.
1t was said yesterday that Mr.. Croker did
concede one point to Leader Mclaughlin, and
that is that the candidate for Comptroller shall
come from Brooklyn, provided Tammany may
name him. 1t was said that some Of Mr.. Cookers
friends among the gold Democrats found this
