BAIT FOR STEWART.
Tammany Hinted at Naming Him
for Borough President.

The interesting rumor was In circulation last
night at Tamrnany Hall that Perez NJ. Stewart.
the deposed Superintendent OF Buildings, was
a candidate for the nomination for President
of the Borough on the Tamamny ticket next
fall. It was further alleged that Thomas J.
Dunn and Timothy P. Sullivan had told Mr..
Stewart that he stood good chance Of being
nominated
Mr. Stewart always has managed to retain
the esteem of d large number of Tammany Hall
Democrats Richard Croker has high regard
for Mr.. Stewart account of his having beaten
Assernblynlan Mazet in the XIXth District after
the Mazet investigation. Mr. Mazet called to
the witness stand Richard Croker and got from
him his famous declaration that he was work
ing for his pocket all the time This was re-
garded as bad break by the Tammany men.
although all knew 1t TO be the blunt truth.
Croker then ordered the defeat of Mazet. Hun
dreds Of Tammany foaters from downtown dis
trcts were sent into the district. Perez Nj.
Stewart was nominated by the Citizens Union
and Endorsed by Tammany for the sole purpose
of beating MaZet and avenging the insult 10
Croker. At the Saratoga convention Mr.. Stewart
was on the strength Of his friendship for GER
tain Tanmany leaders. admitted as delegate
to the convention, although few, II any, OF the
other Greater New-York Democracy delegates
were so admitted. At the dinner for Chief
Judge Alton B. Parker at the Colonial Club last
winter Mr.. Stewart had as his guests Charles
F. Murphy, Timothy 7. Sullivan and Ihomas >.
Dunn.
Later there was ball given by the employees
Of his department, and, again were the Tam
MANY district leaders in evidence. Mr.. Stewart
said when asked about this that there was no
particular significance in it, that he had a lot
of friends in Tammany as well as in the he
publican organization, and that 1t was absurd
to assume that he was trying to curry favor
from Tammany Han Then came his break
with John c. Sheehan and the dismissal OF his
chief inspector, Thomas o. McGfn, who had
reprirnanded a Tammany inspector of plumbing.
If the Tammany leaders have ca1oleQ MT.
Stewart into believing that he will be nominated
for Borough President he is not the only mem
Der of the Greater New-York Democracy that
bae received such assurances. Friends of
Charles F Murphy have assured other fusion
officials Of the same thing, but the assurances
always came at a tine when some TammaIy
leader wanted an old city emOloye kept on the

twelve Pinch shots in succession through
a target 500 yards away while travelling at
the rate of ten knots hour: she had estao-
Ished record for coaling, by taking aboard
az Pensacola 25SS tons Of coal an hour. and
she had beaten all other ships in the run 10
