F. B. HARRISON FOR FoRNESs PLACE.
Tammany Has Pleasant Memory of Big
Contributions from Him.

Francis Burton Harrison, Democratic candidate
for Lieutenant Governor last year, may be the
Tammany candidate for President Of the Board OF
Aldermen instead Of Thomas Mulry. The Demo
cratic politicians have e pleasant memory Of the
size of the contribution from Mr.. Harrison and his
friends last fall and they think there might be a
repetition Of the good times II he is put on the
Tar1many ticket for President Of the Board Of
Aldermen.
Mr. Harrison stands well with the Tammany
men, although his relations with Mayor Mcclellan
are not as cordial as mutual friends could wish.
Tan1nany will be more than usually careful this
time In selecting candidate for President Of the
Board Of Aldermen, because Mayor Mcclellan may
be nominated for Governor this fall or two years
from this fall provided he is reelected Mayor.
