7.-rI;sn, Hepburn Russell. Commissioner Of
counts tonight again declared for an indie
-snsent Democrat for Mayor on the fusion
ticket He added:
In saving this I do not intend in any way to
100, fron the splendid record made by Mayor
Low. He has given the city most excellent
demonstration of its affairs. But there seems
n he a feeling that the situation calsl for the
domination Of some Democrat like Grout this
wear. such nomination would eliminate ma
tio1aI and State politics from the campaign.
and would give the voters of the city another
opportunity TO pass squarely upon the question
of = p1lrelv business, non partisan administra-
ton OF the ciry's affairs.
Nj Russell is a member Of the Conference
Committee He has discussed the situation in
2 general way with various Democratic
leaders and says he finds growing demand for
the nomination Of an independent Democrat.
Asked if the Greater New-York Democracy
would 60 into Tammany if Mayor Low should be
renOruinated. he said:
i have no idea that such a case could happen.
There is only one man VINO could take the or
ganization 10 Tammany and that is John c.
Sheehan"
How about the report that Mr.. Sheehan IS ne
gotiating with Tammany Hall?" was asked.
Mr.. Sheehan has denied these reports" re-
turned Mr. Russell.
There is some talk here tonight about Su-
prene Court Justice Leonard A Glegerich as
Tammany's candidate. It is said Justice Gieger-
ich is being sriously considered by Charles F.
Murphy and the Tammsny leaders. He is presi-
dent Of the Catholic Club and warm friend of
Herman Rider. His nomination, some Demo-
Gratis here believe. would assure Tammany the
support Of the Gernan-American Reform Union.
There is a great deal of general talk here
about candidates and states. but McClellan's
name seems 10 have disappeared. Nothing def
mite viii be decided until Murphy gets here this
week.
