CIRCUIT "IN TAMMANY UNIFORM"
Mr.. Bruce, when told that Mr. Grout had
declared that he would support Mcclellan,
said @Grout and Fornes, having been
drummed out of the fusion camp and into
the enemy's lines have donned the Tam
many uniform. The friends of good gov
eminent are to be congratulated, No one
can be deceived as TO their attitude toward
Mayor Lows candidacy
Senator Patrick H. McCarren was much
pleased with Comptroller CIRCUITS declara-
ton that he will vote for Mcclellan. He
thought it would clear the air in Brooklyn
and make many votes for the ticket.
Comptroller Grout. it is understood,
will take the stump for Tammany and
will probably make his first speech in
Brooklyn.
