NEW YORK POLITICS.
Dem ocracy in a Middle Between Rival
Mayoralty Aspirants.

The following from the New York Trib-
une shows the condition of municipal poll
tics in that city:
Lewis Nixon has issued a statement an
nouncing that he is candidate for the
democratic nomination for mayor. 1t is
thought likely that Hugh Mclaughlin, the
Brooklyn leader, will support his candi-
dacy.
c. F. Murphy told friends that Messrs.
Grout and Fornes would be on the Tam
many ticket.
Senator Platt said that Messrs Grout and
Fornes could not accept Tammany in
dorsement and retain their self-respect;
Murphy's game was to hurt Mclaughlin.
John G. Sheehan said that Mclaughlin
must fight or submit to humiliation.
Hugh Mclaughlin made some picturesque
observations which indicated that he was
considering whether to swallow Mcclellan
or make fight.
Lewis Nixon's statement declaring him
self candidate for the democratic nominal
ton was made last night at the Hotel
Renaissance. 1t is as follows:
Il candidate for the democratic
nomination for mayor Of the city of New
York. This statement is made with full
knowledge of the uncertainties of the
democratic situation. l desire to make 1t
clear that / am willing to stand with those
democrats, however small their number,
who believe that the democratic party OF
this city should lead and not follow in the
1oIWdTu HaFcn OF municipal REFORM.
With their decision to bolt, announced
yesterday by John c. Sheehan. the Greater
New York democracy struck out on little
larger contract than any they have yet I'M
dertaken. Their previous announcements
of "bolting' contemplated swinging from
one camp to the other. standing for
some particular candidate. The latest pro-
ceeding means an entirely independent
ticket. The ticket. as it came out through
devious ways yesterday, was:
Mayor, William H. Ziegler the wealthy
hacker of arctic expeditions: controller, Mr..
Grout: president of the board of aldermen,
Henry George; borough president, John r.
Kelly, and sheriff, the redoubtable Fritz
Lindinger, dear to the hearts of all LIQUOR
dealers and lovers Of the grotesque.
