Grady, 1t viii be observed, is not on this county
ticket nominated by Tammany yesterday, and
thc slate is changed in other way. An
other piece of news is the withdrawal OF jacob
Ruppert. Jr.. from the city ticket on which he
had been nominated for President Of the Coun-

Richard Croker as the political boss of Tam

shortly after IL o'clock. where he had consulta-
tions with John G.. Sheehan and other leaders.
He also had a long talk with Robert A. Van
wyck, candidate for Mayor. He walked about
through tho Executive Committee room and the
reception room. exchanging greetings with the
boys and cracking, an occasional Joke. Senator
