is the Fusion candidate, and George b
Mcclellan, the democratic nominee
Ex-Police Commissioner Devery, is an
independent candidate. and the pro-
hibitionists and socialists have also
made nominations. The result will be
watched with interest owing to the
split between Tammany and Hugh Nc

Mcclellan, headed by Mclaughlin, but
at first refused to include Grout for
comptroller and Fornes as president OF
the beard CT aldermen in it's resolu-
uons ratifying the ticket because they
mad been fusion nominees. having been
dropped by the fusionists when the
democrats endorsed them. Hugh Nc

not democrats and that he would not
support them.
The fight in their behalf. however
was made by Senator Patrick II. Nc
Carren, and al his request a meeting
CT the Kings county committee was
held TO consider a resolution proposed
by McCarren declaring for the entire
democratic ticket, including Grout and
Fornes.
This resolution was lost by a vote OF

10 committee of fifteen and this com
lnittee after several days consideration
met and adopted a resolution to
support Grout and Fornes. At first il
was believed that Hugh Mclaughlin
the veteran leader of the Kings democ-
racy. had approved the action of the
committee Of fifteen, but the following
day he made a long statement i'm which
he declared his continued opposition
to Tanmany Hall. After the meeting
Of the committee of fifteen Mr.. McCar-
rem took charge of the democratic cam
paign in Kings county The places OF
Grout and Fornes on the fusion ticket
were taken by Hinrichs and Mcclure
respectively.
In the west, the liveliest contest is
in Ohio, where Myron T Herrick and
Tom L. Johnson, both of Cleveland. are
the leaders on the republican and DEM

members of the Legislature which will
