THE MAN TO LOOK FOR.

Some unnamed Republicans are quoted in
"The Evening Post as declaring that they will
mot vote for any Democrat. matter how
capable or independent. for Mayor" Perhaps
the Republicans who unnamed are also un-
known. We hope that is the case, for such talk
is foolish. and does harm. if ii does anything.
Ii has a tendency TO produce irritation, and is
consequently forbidden by the moral law, al
least when the sun blazes and the air is
dripping wet. We think detect its natural
consequences in the columns Of our valued con-
temporary THE Brooklyn Eagle" which re-
sponds with the assertion that independent
Democrats are not pleased with "the arrogant,
hoity-toity or assumptive attitude" of these un-
named Republicans and goes on TO say that
IF any Republican can be elected Mayor OF
sGreater New-York over any Democrat he will
..have to be elected by independent Democrats.
That may he true but it is certainly not truer
than that If any independent Democrat can be
elected over any Tammany Democrat he will
have TO be elected by Republicans. So there
we are. and nothing gained by lining up behind
two undisputed propositions
Too much is likely to be thought and said dur
ing the coming weeks. especially by those whose

affiliations Of possible anti-Tammany candidates

really desire 10 get rid of Tammany will not
think much about that point unless they are
compelled TO by the course of public discussion.
They hope that the question Of party member

entation of such a man everybody opposed

who hates Tammany and all its works and

not cease to make wry faces for several months.

H. Cab Maddox Dies Suddenly.

Mr.. H. Cab Maddox, one of the most
familiar figures in commercial circles
in Virginia and we'll known in this city
as ijovial, whole souled man, died
suddenly Monday morning about 2
o'clock in Richmond. Mr.. Maddox
had been complaining for several days
and had received medical attention.
He was a guest at Murphy's Hotel,
where he stopped on all his trips to that
city. Being unable to sleep early that
morning, he went into a club room on
Broad street, near the hotel, hoping
that social chat would cause him to
feel better. Suddenly, while in CONVEX
sation with several friends, he arose
and started for the door, his evident
intention being to get into the open
air. At the entrance to the room he
fell, utterIng slight moan. His
friends rushed to his assistance and the
nearest physician was called. DIR. A.
l.. Gray responded, but found Mr..
Maddox beyond relief. Death was
due to heart trouble. The body was
taken to Benefits undertaking par
lors, where it was EN- blemed and made
ready for burial. Deceased was a son
of the late Martin Maddox, of Fau-
quier county, who some years ago re-
sided in this city. He was one of the
most popular commercial men on the
road and always received warm wei
