TAMMsN4-s WISH THAT WHOLE JTDl-
clAL FcNET BE ISDoRsED.
Tammany Han has crowded Edward u
Amend. ono ~ its judicial nominees who was IN
,lorsed A., The tireafer Ncw-York Democracy, on
the ticket OF the Shcehan men, ana the advisory
committee ~ the younger Democratic organiza-
tion has substituted the name * Justice Will
lam A. Keener for that Of Mr. Amend. nj
Amend is "a brother-in-law o. Herman Rdder
and the action Of Tammauy IN working things
go that Mr.. Amend could not see his way clear
10 stay on the ticket haas incensed many ~ tht
members OF the erman-American Reform
Union, who want 10 see Mr. Amend get all the
votes possible. There were several dramatic
features in connection with the removal of th'
name of Mr Amend and the substitution of that
of Justice Keener, the regular Republican candi-
date.
Vernon NJ. Davis, r. r.. Mccall. Edward 4.
Amend and Herman Ridder visited the office az
William Hepburn Russell. chairman OF the
executive committee of the Greater New-Nork
Democracy, on Monday evening. John c. Shee-
han present Mr.. Amend soon explained
she reason for the can Addressing Mr Shee-
Ian and MI Russell. AIR. Amend said.
After consultation with my colleagues on
fhc regular Democratic ticket. I desire 10 say
that, while have the keenest appreciation 81
fhe kindness which prompted my nomination
by the Greater New-York Democracy. j cam
rot IN justice 10 my colleagues consent 90 accept
Hour nomination unless they are Included WITH
lnc in your Endorsement"
This was a good deal OF a surprise 40 McSsrs.
Sheehan and Russell
IF that's the case said Mr. Sheehan. I
guess q viii he easy for us 20 make different
arrangements
Mr. Russell contributed a lew remarks ana
then there was a general conversation over the
propriety Of the Greater New-Nork Democracy's
dropping It's support ~ Justice Slerkler and
John De Witt Warner. and accepting all The
Tammany nominees as It's own
Messrs Sheehsn and Russell could not see
anything in the proposition that would re-
dound 40 the credit Of the Greater New York
Democracy, and said that the organization could
uOt indorsc the Tammanv candidates. no mat
Ter how much their personality appealed 10
Hhem.
After the Tammany candidates went away
Snemhers ~ thr advisory committee of the
Greater Ncyv-Nor< Democracy were brought to-
gether. and decided 10 place the name ot justice
Keoner i'm place Of that of Mr. Amend. This
compliment apparently appreciated by the
leaders If the Citizens Union II was not lens
before r. Fulton Cutting, Tor. II. II. i. Gould
and James h REYNOLDS signed the petition plac-
Sng Justice keener .n nomination.
I'd was learned last night that the failure ot
dhe Tammany men 10 induce the Shechan men
10 nominatc the Tanmany candidates for judges
was a great disappointment 20 them ON The
other hand, the Endorsement OF Justice keener
appears 10 have been good stroke OF politics
f0r the Sheehan men. Justices Steckler and
Keener and John DE Mitt Warner have thou
sands Of admirers among the Citizens Union
members, and while the union Is not taking
rromptitude with which Messrs. Cutting, Gould
and Reynolds placed their names on The keener
uefition indicates that the independents are
lined up pretty sohdly against Tammany's local
nominees.
