CROKER OPPOSED TO GRANT.
DID NOT WANT HIM As CANDIDATE FOR
MAYOR-MORE INSIDE HISTORY OF
THE BOSS'S TRICK IN 1897.

John e. Sheehan, leader Of the Greater New
York Democracy, said yesterday that there had
been much talk about the break between him
self and Richard Croker in 1891 that he had
determined to write an account OF it. so that
he could have il for handy reference
In connection with this, one Of Mr. Sheehan's
closest friends said Yesterday: 1t may be of
interest To Mr.. Nixon and his friends who to
quote Mr.. Nixon. seem To think that Mr.. Croker
is the embodiment Of ruthfuiness. TO know just
what he did political thmble rigger when
the selection Of a candidate for Mayor was dis
cussed. EXMayor Grants name came up and
Croker said to Mr.. SheehaB:
Don't mention him for Mayor He's got the
swelled head. Keen him in the background.
We don't want him
Then as soon as Van. Wyck was selected.
and before Grant was chosen as Van Wyck's
campaign manager. Croker went to Grant and
sad: i wanted to nominate you for Mayor. but
Sheehan would not have it. He was against
you, and insisted on Van WyCk.' Mr.. Grant he
lieved this, and for a long time would not speak
10 Mr.. Sheehau. 1t was not until after the cam
paign that Mr.. Grant learned the real facts
There is still another incident that
has said much about, which shows with
great clearness that Richard Croker capable
of unblushing dupIicity Croker went TO Shee-
han and asked what he (Sheehan) thought
about Van Wyck having separate campaign
headquarters. Sheehan said that that certainly
was the right thing TO do Mr.. Croker then
said:
Have you thought about who would be
good manager
No replied AIR Sheehan.
Well. how would Maurice F. Holahan do for
manager" asked Mr.. Croker.
First rate was Mr.. Sheehan'S answer, but
/ think that Hugh J. Grant would do better
We don't want Grant said Croker: we'd
better Keep him Just as far in the background
THAT was the last that Mr.. sheehan heard OF
the matter that afternoon continued Mr.. Shee-
covered that Croker went from his office to Mr.
Grants office and told him that he (Croker)
wanted him to manage Van Wycks campaign,
Croker got in his fine work before Mr. Sheehan
had u chance to speak TO MI. Grant

were attacking Croker. Martin said II the
criticism was meant for him. he had made
