The desperate attempts OF certain downtown
| Tammany leaders by the use OF money TO rob
the fusionists of the control OF the Board Of AL
dermen was brought officially TO the notice OF
Mayor Low yesterday afternoon by President
Fornes Of the board and by Borough President
Cantor The Tribune the first TO tell. about
two weeks ago of the underhanded work by the
Tammany men to win enough fusion indie
pendent Democrats TO enable the Democrats TO
organize the board and appoint committees.
Mayor Low sent word to the newspaper men at
4 o'clock that he had an announcement to make.
He handed out copies of the following:
Pretty definite rumors have reached me that
the fusion ticket to stay away from the meeting OF
the board for organization on Monday mex. or, II

With his colieag1cs on on The organization OF thC
bribery that few non afford to face.
"I cannot at this time make any supplemental
statement this subject" said Mr.. Low. The
statement covers all have to say
The effect Of Mr.. Lows warning was seen last
night when the Tammany aldermen after a con-
ference at the City Hall lasting an hour and
half. decided that 1t was not the height of wis
dom to try to- organize the board with the
majority against them. They did not relish the
tenor OF Mayor Lows statement They inter
preted it partly for their especial benefit.
Thirty-three aldermen were present Messrs.
Owens. Metzger and Gaffney were the absentees
Alderman Moses Wafer occupied the chair, and
Mr.. Marks secretary. John T. Mccall
elected minority leader. Thomas Coakley will
be presented by the minority as a candidate for
sergeant at arms and John Mcclure for as
sistant.
Mayor Lows statement read to Alderman
Timothy p Sullivan
Did the Mayor say that? Well. thank God.
I'm not fusion alderman! That's all I've got
TO say to that" was Mr. Sullivan's comment.
There's nothing in it," said big Tom" Foley.
I'VE haven't been counting organizing the
board for several weeks. The fusionists have
got the most votes"

Alderman Mccall. Il keep pretty close track OF
everything that is going on. and I haven't heard
anything about an attempt TO corrupt fusion
aldermen"
Borough President Cantor says that no matter
what the Tammany do they cannot rob
the fusionists of the fruits of their victory
Il have known for two or three weeks" said
Mr. Cantor. that certain Tammany men were
trying to buy up enough fusionists and Repub-
licans TO organize the board and appoint the
standing committees. I don't believe that they
will be able to do It. Giving way un6er pressure
of money would disgrace a man forever in the
eyes of the community II wOule be a serious
matter II the Democrats should be able to or
Sanze the Board o: Aldermen. II would cripple
th@ administration of Mayor Low materially.
The majority in the board can. if they choose.
of course. elect their own vice-president and
if the Democrats should do this | suppose they
could insist that he bc the presiding officer. at
least until after the committees are made up.
Il DO not apprehend that any of the fusion
aldermen can be corrupted. They are far
as | know them, men of character The three
absentees Messrs. Mathews, Lundy and Malone,
the caucus last night accounted for them
selves in a manner satisfactory to President
Fornes and the other leaders. I have no doubt
that at the meeting of the board on Monday all
the fusionsts will be hand ready to vote
the right way. The Tammany men would have
to get three Of the fusionists away from us in
order to organize the board. There are seventy
nine members in the board counting the five
borough presidents and the president of the
board. OF these the fusionists have thirty-eight
aldermen, the president of the board and Bor-
ough Presidents Swanstrom and Cromwell and
myself making forty-two. against thirty-five
Tammany aldermen and two borough presi-
dents Messrs. Cassidy and Haffen, making
thirty-seven all told. There is no doubt what
that certain Tammany leaders are trying
to buy some of our aldermen
The fusion members will hold a conference
this afternoon at the City Hall to talk over the
organization of the board.

THE LEADING CANDIDATES.

JOHN W. GRIGGS AND JOHN F. DRYDEN
THE LEADING CANDIDATES.
General Sewelrs death has created compli-
Gated situation in New-Jersey politics. Because
OF the fact that Senator Sewell lived in that
section of the State. South Jersey is claiming
the Senatorship as matter of right. The advo-
Gates of thar proposition also point out that
North Jersey. in the person of John Kean, has
the other SenatOrship. Some of Senator Kean's
friends are inclined to take the South Jersey
view, because of a fear that the election OF a
North Jersey man to succeed Senator Sewell
might interfere with Mr. Kean's prospects of
reelection three years hence. 1t seems TO be
generally agreed, however. that Senator Kean
will be reelected, no matter what the result OF
the present contest.
So far as can be learned. the great mass of
the people of New-Jersey are not greatly moved
by the sectional plea. What concerns them
most is that the man chosen should be one In
every way fitted to maintain New-Jersey's repu-
tation in Washington-an able. clean and un-
yielding advocate of the best interests of the
State. Many possible candidates have been
mentioned, but the eligible list is certain to
narrow down pretty sOOn For instance David
Baird OF Camden, has been doomed assiduously
by number of devoted friends but expert
political observers figure that Mr. Baird doesn't
care about doing anything beyond making
demonstration of his undoubted power in the
lower end of the State. "Davy," as his fol-
lowers affectOnately call him, is in the lumber
business. He is a hustler
Barker Gummere has been spoken of among
the possibilities. but it is not known whether
he has seriously contemplated making a real
fight for the vacant place in the Senate. If he
concludes TO get into the arena he may be able
to enlist the aid of Baird.
Congressman John j. Gardner comes pretty
near to the Senatorial standard from the public
point OF view. He is one of the abIest members
OF New-Jersey's delegation in Congress, but his
health has not been good for some years. and IL
is extremely doubtful if he could be induced TO
assume the duties and obligations which the
SenatOrship carries with it.
Edward c. Stokes formerly State Senator.
and now Chancery Clerk. stands well in the
public regard, and If South Jersey is able TO
establish its claim on the Senatorship there
would be general satisfaction at seeing the
honor fall to him.
To-day the men who stand out conspicuouslv
as the leaders among those ambitious to ill the
vacant seat in the Senate are John W. Griees
and John F. Dryden. Each measures I'D to the
highest standards
