HILL GIVES UP ONE FIGHT.
WONT TRY TO GET CONTROL OF THE
LEGISLATURE - AIDING THE
SHEEHAN MEN.

Fe,-s.nator AIN has aha ndoned the idea of try
ine 20 secure control Of the legislature. He has
sanctioned the nomination by the Greater Sew
York Democracy Of candidates Tor the Assembly
An Al the districts Of New-Nork County. BY so
doing ne has lent helping hand TO the Greater
NsU-ycrk Democracy, which he viii play against
Tammany Hall hereafter. 50 far as John c Shee-
han and hts associates viii let him. and at the same
time ne win secure additional votes Tor the Demo
cratic State ticket
The Greater New York Democrag,. In circulating
through an the counties 81 the State its nominat-
inc petitions had the assistance last week or MT
Hnrs state COMMITTEES. Without that assistance
the sheehan men never would have been able %
canvass all the upstate counties. Yesterday John
e. Sheehan announced that the Greater NeW-Nork
Democracy would nominate candidates In all the
city assembly districts but would probably indorSe
the Tammany candidates for the Senate Here II

Greater New York Democracy men, I'm running their
candidates for Assembly viii get out their fEh
vote for the rooster ticket, and incidentally me
State ticket and put themselves IN shape 10
nominate a mayor and have their separate column
on the mayoralty ticket next year BY running As
sembly candidates of their they will help 10
defeat al least half a dozen Tammany men runh'ns
for the same onice. The vote for tol'r ana ''''
rest OF the state ticket will be siShty increased
as two Democrats running against kepuoh'ah
for the same office viii naturally poll more votes
than Democrat running against R'Pu"'I''''
Coler viii be the gamer and Tammany haa l"S,'
IN this game. I'm order 10 plalatc some oi l'e ',"'
ers IN Tammany, Hil has induced the Snee'la"
men 70 indorse the Tammsuy candidates TOT we
senate. Mr.. lam has urged this on mo spe,''uS
plea that the Senators viii vote Tor Senator ia''
successor. As a matter Of TACT the AssemnH men
elected this fan viii vote for Senator FlaU : sue
cessor just as surely az will the Senators.
When John a. Sheehan was seen yesterday ''
q Tribune reporter he saio in answer TO 9"'s
ton.
we shall doubtless see our way clear - 'to''S'
the Tammanv candidates for tho Senate. The STATE
leaders seem 20 want this. they assert me sen
ators will hold and vote for Senator tla'' =
successor. We shall run Assembly canoloa'es j."
