PARTNERSHIP WITH TAMMANY TIGHTENS
THE LINES OF THE INDEPENDENTS.
The most noticea bic effect Of the new political

when talking for publication. His friends know
however, that he Keenly resentS being supplant

that he will work with the Tammany men under
Lewis Nixon. He did not attend the dinner in
honor of John G. Sheehan, but he did go the
gathering intended to emphasize the leadership
of Lewis Nixon in the Democratic organization
in this county.
The feeling of bitterness by the anti-Tam-
many men all along the line was intensified last
night at the spectacle of Shepard and Hill back
in the Tammany camp.
