Fulton Cutting Consenting to Accept Renomination by Fusionists. NO PLACE IN CAMPAIGN FOR POLITICAL BIAS. Would Have Preferred Retiring to Private Life, but Recog- aizes in Nomination an Im- perative Call of Duty. .T™ a tetter to R. Fulton Cutting, Chairman of the Fusion Conference Committee, Comptroller Grout an- nounced to-day that he would accept @ renomination on the Fusion ticket. "The action of Mr. Grout had a cheer- ing effect upon the Fusion forces, which have been somewhat demoralized by unexpected developments and atacks within and without their organization. The reason Mr. Grout gives for ac- cepting the renomination Is loyalty to the administration of which he has ‘been an officer. In his letter he takes occasion to commend the administration of Mayor Low and, indirectly, to make reply to some of the reflections on the Mayor, contained in the letter of the District Attorney. ‘Mr. Grout’s Letter. Mr. Grout's letter to Mr. Cutting {s ‘as follows: . My Dear Sir—I am in due receipt of your letter of the 15th instant advising me of the action of the Fusion confer- rees recommending the renomination of Mr. Low, Mr. Fornes and myself.

This I have done. In the main the approaching contest must be upon the record of that ad- ministration, and in such a contest it is obviously impossible that I should fail to defend that record, certainly as to every part of it which I helped to make. I can do this obvious and plain duty effectively, it seems to me, only by ac- ¢epting renomination. The Question of Politics. ‘While the main contest mist logically be made upon the achievements or lack of achievement of the present officials, there seems to be an effort coming to inject into the campaign two other is- Sues as to which, equally with the main one, I find upon me a direct personal duty. By those who do not know Mr. Low as I do, who have not worked side by side with him for two years, and who have not geen his breadth of view and strong grasp upon municipal ques- dons and his marked ability to get results, attack is made upon him per- ®onally, and tis patience and care and Conservatism are distorted into weak- ness. I can effectively do my part in refuting this mistaken view only by fecepting renomination. ‘The other effort is to raise the Issue of national and State politics. Iam a teguiar aad consistent Democrat,/ as Mr. Low is a Republican, and upon this issue circumstances in ‘the past have Placed me in a peculiar position.
