TINE TO UNLOAD QUIGG.
sUCH Is THE GENERAL VIEW or
REPUBLICAN LEADERS.

Next week-Reasons fer Disqualification.
Since election day tho Republican news.
papers Of the city Of New York and OF the
State have given some little attention to the
Hon. Lemuel T.. Quigg. President OF the
County Committee in New York city. The
remarks OF these newspapers have not
been favorable to Mr. Quigg. In tho news
columns and edltorially many unpleasant
things have been said. Republicans were at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday afternoon
and last night who came from Buffalo, Roehss-
ter. Albany. Troy, Elmira. and other upstate
cities. There was a sprlnkling from other up
country Republican centres. Mingled with these
were many closely associated with New YORK
City afairs. II IL not an exaggstatlon to
say that tho opinion was universal that presi-
dent QuigR should resign his place at the next
meeting OF tho County Committee. which IL to
be held Ia this city on Nov. 10. for the reason
that the last election In New York county and
his sole management OF the campaign have
discredited him as a political leader and he
should not be allowed to conduct the fight In
New York county next year in the Presiden-
tial campaign. In 1895 Mckinley carried New
York county by 20.735 plurality
II should not be understood that the country
Republicans complain any more OF Mr. Quigg's
management than do New York city Republic
cans There are thirty-nve Republican leaders
In New York county. and the opinion was uni
vsrsal last night that II u test was made not
one OF these leaders would vote for the
retention Of Mr.. Quigg as president OF
tho County Committee. More than twenty
OF these Republican leaders OF Assembly
districts hold public place. either as Fed
eral Office holders or in other departments.
but all Of these leaders understand
that Mr., Quigg did not secure the places for
them. and that Mr. Quigg has no standing with
| the Mckinley Administrations Neither has
| Mr. Quigg any standing with the State admin
| istration. These statements are not
| made unadvisedly but upon the authorIt, OF
Rcpublc very close to President Mckinley
and Gov. Roosevelt. Just how this state Of
affairs has come about II would take great
! deal OF space To tell
President Quiggs insistsnce upon the nomi-
nation Of the fusion county ticket, which met
with such disaster on election day. IL

ysniont to ,n res sn on Noy, ~ T p. a very
| grave question last night certain Republicans
said that Mr.. Quigg had m ade one or two threats
within the last forty eight hours that MIR,
Mszet would do al most anything that he, Quigg,
suggested. and from these alleged threats
many things we're argued. and tho verdict was
that possibly Mr., uuikg will be allowed to re-
main as President OF the County Committee
until Mr., Mn2sts term as an Assem- bl yman AK
piros on Jan. !.
Something has been said to the Eject that
Mr.. Ouigg has no standing in Washington or
Albany. and yet Mr., QuiEg, It was stated yes
terday, had asserted that he will make William
II. TenEyck, now m hqucduct Commissioner
under Mayor Van WICK. the head Of the state
ConstasuRry II tho state Constahulary hill
can be passed at albany this winter This il
possibly as ridiculous an assertion as Mr..
QulgK could make. II tho State Constabulary
Pill Passes az Albany Gov, Rooseyst will name
the chief OF the new State police force.
