PL4TT T4LKS OF CRIMjIINS.
COMMENT AROUSED AMONG POLITICIANS
BY THE SENATOR'S STATEMENT.

There was comment yesterday in political
circles interview with Senator Platt. print
ed in THE Herald yesterday morning, in which
Senator Platt spoke of John d. Crimmins as an
available candidate for Mayor fusion anti
Tammany ticket. Senator Platts references TO Mr..
Crimmns of kindly nature that many
persons thought he would his influence to have
Mr.. Crmmins nominated by the Republican or
ganization and indorsed by all antTammany inde-
pendent organizations. Mr. Crimmins was formerly
an ally of Tammany Hail. but when Justice Daily
was turned down by Richard Croker Mr. Grim
Minis broke with the Tammany boss. and has ever
since been a stalwart opponent of Tammany. He
has many friends in the Manhattan Club which is
the centre OF anti-Tammany Democratic sentiment
and it is believed that he will be pushed for the
nomination by many old line Democrats who are
opposed TO Croker and Tammany misrule.
Mr. Crimmins last night by a Tribune
reporter regarding the announcement made by
Senator Platt. He laughed when he asked
what comment he had TO make on the announce
ment, and said
II do not think such choice should be made by
any one man. 1t should come from a convention"
IF YOU chosen the fusion candidate for
Mayor would YOU accept the nomination." was
asked.
That ! cannot say. II seems highly improbable
that such a nomination would be rendered to me,
am not candidate for the office.
