OCT. .. 1901.
MY DEAR SIR: By virtue Of the authority
vested In me az permanent chairman Of the
Republican city convention Of the city Of
New York, held at Grand Central Palace on
the 23d day of September. 1909, hereby call
the said convention to meet at Carnegie
Hall. corner OF Seventh avenue and Fifty
seventh street. borough Of Manhattan, city
Of New York. on Wednesday, the 7th day Of
October. 1908 at P. NJ. Very truly yours.
TIMOTHY L. WOODRUFF.
Permanent Chairman.
Another letter from r. Fulton Cutting,
chairman Of the Citizens Union, to Comp
troller Grout will be despatched this morn
ing. II will tell Mr.. Grout that his answer
to Mr. Cuttings letter asking II Mr.. Grout
would make an aggressive anti-Tammany
campaign was unsatisfactory and will
convey to Mr.. Grout that the Citizens
Union does not intend to put him on its
ticket. A similar letter will go to President
Fornes Of the Board OF Aldermen.
The letter was submitted last night to
meeting of the city committee Of the union.
1t was 200 words long and in Mr.. Gut
ting's best epistolary style. After the city
committee had adjourned. the executive
| committee conned the letter, and some
of the members suggested changes in
phrasing which would give 1t more bite.
So at II o'clock Mr.. Cutting said that
the letter was to be polished again and
would not be given out until to-day.
1T tells Mr.. circuit and Mr.. Fornes that
we are dissatisfied with their attitude. !,
said Mr.. Cutting. ,11fe city rSSa5inhihstts
has decided to Reasonable the city conyen-
ton on Wedn esday night at Cooper Union
and rescind the previous action m nomi-
mating Circuit and Fornes. New men will
be named on the ticket, and with the help
and cooperation Of our Republican assoc
| ciates In fusion we are confident OF con-
structing ticket which will be recognized
by every good citizen as standing for the
best government New York can have
Mayor Low will get home from Chicago
to-day, and the fusion conferees will take
counsel with him Oh the names that have
been suggested for the two Offices. The
Citizens Union members held long discus
sion last night. The majority seemed to
favor for Comptroller John O. Kelly, presi-
dent Of the Eighth Ward Bank of Brooklyn.
The Republicans were considering Julian
D. Fairchild, who was the Mclaughlin
candidate for Comptroller In the Tammany
convention, and James Mcmahon, presi-
dent of heTndustrial Savings Bank. There
WAS some doubt whether Mr. Fairohild
would accept the nomination.
Fol- President of the Board of Aldermen
the name of Frederic r. Coudert, Jr., was
suggested yesterday by the Republicans.
He - the son Of distinguished Democrat
Col Edward Duffy and Thomas Mulry,
the latter we'll known for his connection
with Roman Catholic charities, were names
canvassed by the Republicans. Herman
Metz, the Mclaughlin candidate for Pres-
dent Of the Board Of Aldermen against
ForEes on Thursday night, is also to be
ooCsi iered.
Grout and Fornes were advised yesterday
to forss.aii the kick from fusion by esigning
thry' nominations by the Republicans
Gil. the Citizens Union with great show
Of indignation.
Cn,, couGne, some OF Mr.. CIRCUITS friends
cold him, WAS the only one that left him On
opportunity to 60 on the stump. He might
then pose as Q Democrat. wronged by He
loh!loan4 domination IN the fusion move
rna1. they said, and point oyt the .partt-
sss4hiY Of fusion in rejecting him a.
Eligh.ed by the regular Democratic indorse-
meft. By trying 70 hold his place on the
Republican ticket he would stand ridiculous
and would gain nothing and legal fight
wonid a,ienats a certain following which
the other course might attract.
Mr. FcEieEs deposition, It was said
yesterday. YVES to resign the f!,aioq noni-
nations. EuS he has agreed TO DO whatever
Mr.. 1rous does. Mr.. Fornes would sey
not hieg yesterday. but intlnat ed that he
wculi Jake some action to-day. ~
