BRYANT Park and tho Bowery, confirmed
y, night thu ncws that In Ia running for
thu Republican leadership Of tho new Third
Assembly district against tho Hon. Jimmie
Ma rch. the present leader. This is tho old
sixth district and IL bounded with an I'm.
broken rim Of %Sullivana, with thu storm
ccntrr near Mike Lyons Bowcry resta irant,
Young MIR. !. u. q. Rinehart asserted
Last evening that he has been aware for
some time that he has been running for
the leadership. Almost every evening
now. he avs. he strolls down the Bowery
because Inc is Of the opinion that the only
way n man can he elected leader IL to let
the party workers meet him and acquire
the information that I've IL running. Unless
the news Of n mans candidacy becomes
general among tho delegates he stands
next TO no chance OF winning.
March, the present leader, although an
Italian himself, " said MIR. Rinehart to THE
SIN reporter, has a lot of enemies among
his own people. Needless to say this Will
count against himSwhen the fall primaries
come along. At any rate III put UP a good
fight against him and expect to win
MIR. }. Brice Gordon Rinehart is very anx-
ious to dissipate the notion hat seems TO
be abroad that he is not a resident Of the
Bowery. He says that when he came to
New York three years ago to try his hand
at law and politics he gave much thought
to the best place for q residence and natur-
ally selected the Bowery. The Capitol
Hotel, at the corner Of Houston street,
seemed a likely location. The atmosphere
of the neighborhood seethes with sociology;
there is q saloon right under his room and
political questions are often discussed In
the region. Wherefore young Mr.. Rine-
hart established his residence at the Capitol
and sleeps there twice a week or oftener.
Mr.. Rinehart's advancement in the game
has not been so rapid as he could wish
wherefore his decision to take the bull
by the horns and go right to the top at
once. He has steadily kept in touch with
the boys, he says, and old the reporter
that he now knows a Mr.. Brown and a
gentleman named Smith and many more
voters of the district,
j. B. G. Rinehart's candidacy leaked
out with the advent Of James Bronson
Reynolds in town.. Mr.. Reynolds came
here after diagnosing the meat troubles,
as told in THE U yesterday, and had
scarcely arrived in New York when it was
announced that he intended to make }. Brice
Gordon Rim chart leader of the van strong
hold just as soon as his other obligations
would permit him to get to it. reynolds was
a settlement worker before he became secre-
tary to ex-Mayor Low, and consequently
should carry the district in the hollow of
his hand. He has been out of touch with
New 70 rk politics for some time. but is
still remembered by those that came in
contact with him d uring the last Low ad-
ministration. Besides, the Bowery really
never forgets a settlement worker.
"Rnehart2 Rinehart?" said the Hon.
Jimmie March yesterday, when asked if
he had heard that Reynolds is going to
make his young friend leader just as soon
as he can get at it. "Oh, yes-sure, I know
we'll. He was a watcher at the last
election. No, l didn't know he is out for
the leadership-hive a cigar-but If he
gets it he'll be sorry. Gee, what an ex-
myself, but the boys say | must. If Rine-
hart runs also, why, thatll make it more
interesting, that's an. Have a cigar? Well,
take another-stick it in your pocket"
Messrs. Smith and Brown, whom j. Brice
Gordon Rinehart says he knows on the
Ripehart had not been definite as to their
first names. The Hon. Jimmie March
was the only Republican around his club,
and there seemed to be a scarcity of the
party workers on the Bowery and side
to ask one man he met in Mike Lyons
restaurant il he were a Republican, but
after consideration decided that the best
way to put the question would be to ask
if he were a Democrat. The answer was
was thought best by the investigator not
to push the inquiry further.
The barkeep in the Capitol and Jim the
waiter said they knew a person named
Rinehart. In fact. they said, he had been
in the hotel the night before last Whether
who is prominent in Republican circles in
the Third, knew of j. Brioe Gordon Rine-
harris candidacy, or whether he even knew
of j. B. G. Rinehart, could not be deter
mined definitely because Patrick was born
in Italy and his English is ague.
Rinehart spends much of his time at the
Republican Club in Bryant Park South,
where he rooms with a friend named Sulli-
van. He said that he didn't think that
James Bronson Reynolds of Yale had come
was merely here on business and would
tear himself away in a week. Mr.. .Rine-
hart is a clean shaven young man of thirty,
five feet tall and built in proportion, and is
of tho opinion hat the party should reward
ite workers. His ambition is to Tammanyize
the Republican party on the East Side and,
if no one else will make the effort to bring
this glad result about, he hopes to try it
himself.
The Hon. Jimmie March didn't nave much
time to discuss the situation last night, He
had lust received several thousand cigars
with his picture on the band that needed
arranging around his Office 80 that they
could be got at as soon as a constituent
opened the door. Besides, the good old
summer time OF excursions of voter to
Greenwood Lake is approaching, which
leaves little time for sociological discussions
or Bowery strolls.
