On account Of an unfortunate misunderstood
fns as to the place on the Brooklyn fusion ticket
that should be taken by the Citizens Union,
whose candidate is Alfred J. Bouton the Re
publican and the Citizens Union conventions on
Monday night. or rather yesterday morning.
nominated different men for Register. This has
again placed the fusion movement in Brooklyn
IN peril The Republicans say that they have
made nomination for Register-that Of DR.. w.
John Schildge-srd that they do not propose
70 make any shift now. They left the position
OF County Clerk open. and II the Citizens Union
and Mr. Boulton are not satisfied with that,
nothing can be done.
To strairhten out the ticket, Ir. Boulton
could decline the Citizens Union nomination for
Register. which was made early yesterday
morning after a three hours wrangle among the
Citizens Union delegates as 10 whether or not
they would take no Office the Sheriff nominal
ton having been denied to them. The confer
ence committee would then have the power to
name Nj Boulton for County Clerk 1t VIII
hold a meeting this noon. when the situation
viii be discussed. AS the committee Msls1eo
strenuoUsly that Mr. Boulton get the Sherin
nomination and gave Ia only because II thought
he would get the Register nomination, IL Is
doubtful that ii viii now consent TO puH MIN
from that nomination for a less important pace
Custave X. Thompson. one Of the minority
night that be did not know what would De
done. but personally he was opposed TO knucA-
ling Gown 10 the Republicans any more.
The committee wiz request Dr. Schiioge 10 re-
-sre as z candidate for Register on the Repuoi-
can ticket in favor OF Mr.. Boulton. The doctor
IS 2 genial man. who says he would be willing
70 DO il in the interests Of harmony. but the
Republicans say no.
Ex-Lieutena-t Governor woodruff said TO g
Tribune reporter yesterday:
We did not say 10 the Citizens Union conferrees
that ne would leave the registership open Tor
them. The ract Of the matter Is We leII Ine
conference without settling which place shoulo
60 20 M Bouton Previously We had told then
thew could have the place Of Register or that o.
County Clerk If they would rehngulsn tiei
demand for Sheriff They &c not lholca1e "hat
place they would take.
II is true that I thought we would leave the
place Of Register opeu. but when reached the
convention I found they were not IN any pCSliloh
TO stand for il. So VIC left the Country Clerkship
open We have made our nominations ana
cannot change them nor.
The question among the Republicans now Is.
Who viii be nominated for the supreme Court
bench on Friday? Mr.. Woodruff has stated that
he is in favor Of Assistant Corporation Counesl
lanes NcKeeu. In view OF the fact that the
woodruff slate was broken on the District At
tornevshir, al the country convention, it is pre-
dicted that the delegates at he judiciary con-
vention VIII break away and nominate Joseph
a Rurr II IS not believed that George F.
Elliott viii allow his name 20 be used. in view OF
the scant courtesy which III emenuon OF his
name for District Attorney received ~ the
county contention.
