He was first nominated by the Anti-Tammany nference Committee, whose action was subsequently indorsed by the Re- "publican, County Democracy and People’s Municipal League conventions. The Tammany Convention nominated him after he had been named by the * ‘Pastonists, The German-American Reform Union and other independent | organizations indorsed Mr. Myers after he had accepted the Tammany momination. Mr. Jerome, who had served as Assistant District-Attorney under Col. Fellows, was one of the most active of the Fusion campaign ora- Myers because he had received the nomination of all parties.

Even Mr. Platt, of Owego, Tioga County, is quoted in the New York ticket?” pre “Perfectly so. I think the candidates named have been selected with "tare judgment and will meet the views of the people. Not a word can be against the character of a single man put in nomination, and I think | 4g remarkable when you consider the rapidity with which the ticket! we placed in the field.” | | eearr WAS WITH IT. © On Nov. 2, 1890, in a signed statement in the Herald, he sald: ee “#] was absent from the city during the weeks that the ticket was made | “gna wes surprised on my return to find how s0od a ticket was constructed | “‘Wreatisty so many conflicting elements. | “It seems to have been growing in strength every day and hour since St has come under my observation, and I never in my life felt’ more confident ‘9 victory for good government than the present situation seems to offer.” ‘At a County Democracy mass meeting held in Cooper Union on 23, 1890, ex-Mayor William R. Grace is quoted in his speech as saying: “Ot your candidate for Comptroller, Theodore W. Myers, no more be said than that his administration of the affairs of that great ‘iy: offfloe has well merited his renomination. He is running on his record.” an At a mass meeting of the People’s Municipal League held at Cooper “"pnon on Oct. 14, Joseph H. Choate, chairman, in referring to the ‘presence of Mr. Myers, who occupied a seat on the platform, said: “That same faithful Comptrolier is here to-night whom Tammany) fominated that she might not confess herself beaten.” * THE PAPERS WITH HIM. ~ The New York Tribune, which rebuked me the other day for stating {o-tbat I would accept the indorsement of any organization if it came without § golicitation and absolutely without any conditions, on the ground that I “fgould not serve two masters, when I thought it was well understood that 1 have nover and never will serve any master, printed the following editorial “hen Oct. 17, 1890: “Comptroller Myers has accepted Tammany Hall's nomination, but ‘@e has not a word to say in support of the rest of the Demoocratic ticket. | ‘Orne contrast in this respect between his letter to the People’s Municipal | League and the one he has written to Tammany ie striking.

Mr. Grout was asked if he had any knowledge several days ago that y would indorse his candidacy, and if he had discussed the possi- bility with Mayor Low. “J think it is no Violation of Confidence to say that I knew of it and that! »/I talked the matter over with the Mayor,” Mr. Grout said. “At that time, ‘(while such indorsement was possible, it did not seem probable, and the ‘Mayor made no objection to the proposition.

From the office of J. P.

It was regarded as significent that Mr. Morgan should put out such a statement, some brokers taking it to mean that Mr, Mor, gan takes a gloomy view of the outlook when he tells the employees of the cor- poration to hold thelr gtook. Others said that it was only the right thing for the corporation to do, after having got its employees to subscribe for the stock, to reassure them that, in spite of pres- ent or future weakness of Steel pre- ferred, they should hold on to it.
