Boston, Nov. s0.--The transcripts
New York correspondent sends the fol-
lowing; The Citizens Union tonight
viii make the first move in preparation
for the municipal campaign of 1905.
It's executive committee viii meet 10
receive reports on the condition Of the
organization In the various boroughs and
assembly districts and plans will be
considered for another fight against Tam
many. r. Fulton Cutting and the other
leaders Of the Union are not at all
daunted by the stunning blow they re-
eeiyed at the polls a year ago They
believe that it IS possible to bring about
again an effective union Of the anti-T
many forces like that Of 1901, which
resulted in Seth Lows election, especially
as Tammany and its former Brooklyn
allies are still engaged in such bitter
warfare that there IS no prospect of
harmony between them while Mcclellan
T.. is mayor,
The Citizens Union leaders do not ex-
pect however, that they will be permit
ted 10 have such complete control Of a
fusion movement as they Ind in the
last two campaigns The local Republi-
can leaders, elated By their success in
cutting down the normal Democratic
majority in this city at the last election,
are in no humor to figure as the tail Of
the Citizens Union kite. Some Of them
are even talking of nominating a straight
Republican ticket

mined on one thing morethat the little
+ so-called "Demoeraeies" and the dozen
/ or more little German organizations that
promised great things and accomplished
nothing IN the last campaign, shall be
kept in the background These concerns
praetised the political bunco game with
great success Ia 1901 and 1908 and sew.

to resume business, among them the
Greater New York Democracy, whose
executive committee held meeting last
Friday night. The various German eun.

for an opening. and ex-SheriiT 0'Brien

William Halpin, chairman Of the cx-
eeutiye committee Of the Republican
County Committee expressed the Repub-
liean view Of he situation today when
be said "The Republicans might do
lwell to 60 in for straight ticket, but
If it il deemed wise to have another
fusion movement we must have the in
fluence which our voting strength de-
serves. In the past we furnished nearly
laIl the votes, vet we had little to do
with the selection of the candidates and
60 little or nothing when fusion was
successful. That kind Of thing won't do
next year. The Republican party Is
now at the height Of its popularity. as
was shown on Nov s, and 1t ii not 70

CARNATIONS"
1t is practically settled that Mayor
Mcclellan be renominated. If the reg
ulaf Democratic organizations were unit
ed and if Mcclellan should continue to
give the city a good administration for
the next year, ii Is probable that he
would be selected, no matter what the
ianh Tammany forces might do. But
There is no sign Of settlement Of the
Murphy AicCarren feud, and there are
indications that the mayor will find il
more and more difficult to resist the
lTammany forces, which have been trying

Office.
AS to Mayor MeClellan's probable
course in the second year OF his admin
listration. il may be said that he appears
to be firm in his determination TO keep
down the worst element in Tammany

Charles II Murphy returns from his
vacation in Michigan they viii make
formal demand that Police Commissioner

tsulliyanites have intimated that if Muir
ply does not yield there win be fight
ut the primaries next September to re-
organize Tammany; that i, to take
away the control Of the organization
from Murphy, get control of the next
city convention and turn down MeCleI
Ian. 1t is not probable that this pro-
gramme could be carried out, but the
Sullivans are very powerful, and If they
joined their forces with AlcClellan's
in the city convention they could put

and the situation is such that the out
