TO NOMINATE STECKLER.
JUSTICE LIKELY TO HAVE UNITED
ANTI-TAMMANY SUPPORT
NEXT FALL.

Justice Alfred steckler, of the Supreme Court.
appointed by Governor OdeU to succeed Justice
McAGam, will. unless present plans fail. be
nominated for the full term of fourteen years
sy the Republicans next fall. The Greater New
York Democracy leaders are considering the ad-
visibility of running him a separate county
ticket and the probability is that Justice Steck-
ler's name will appear under the rooster. The
candidacy Of Justice Steckler next fall involves
a number Of strategic moves in politics which
becoming more and more interesting to all
the leaders. There are three main points which
the leaders are keeping constantly in view.
First Lewis Nixon the nominal leader of
Tsmmany, is counting electing Tammany
Supreme Court justice by round plurality
Second, the Democrats under the leadership
Of John c. Sheehan are fearful that Nixon will
succeed in the recuperation of Tammany, TO
large extent. by electing a Supreme Court JUS
tice. They will prevent-it, if possible as it is
vitality important to keep Tammany down for
the next three years.
Third, the Republicans desire the election Of
Justice Steckler as a vindcation of Governor
Odells appointment of him.
John G. Sheehan out of town yesterday
On his return the law bearing on the right OF
the Greater New-York Democracy to have
column On the State ticket will be looked into
At present ii appears that they have no such
right. But Justice Steckler. If nominated by the
Greater New-York Democracy, would actually
run on the county ticket. The Tammany people
will probably put the ticket Charles h Knox
Charles w. Dayton or eX-Mayor Van WICK, all
Of whom were defeated last fall If the Carroll
Sullivan combination dominates the county CON
vention Van Wyck will probably be selected as
''vindication' of the eX-Mayor, who ran Zo'ooo
votes behind the Tammany ticket
The Greater New-York Democracy is growing
rapidly. and il it can help to draw the hnes
against Tammany more as they We're
drawn last fall it could Justly lay claim TO a
share of the credit for defeating Tammany
again, at the time voting for the Demo
cratic candidates on the State ticket.
Justice Steckler is nominally a Democrat. ana
his prospective candidacy next fall suddenly mas
revealed itself d particularly fortunate oc-
"a sion TO many of the Greater New-York De
nocracy leaders who declare that with the
support Of the Republicans Tammany can be
whipped again.
