leader John C. 8heohan of Tammany llaU,
ttiru rnouiib, Lai gone away to Canada (or a
utt. Hi' bm told his friends that ha haa been
ltlicrod out of hit senses by tho attitude of hla
friends In Tammany aa to the platform on which
Tamminy's candidate for a Mayor of Greater
w York should stand.
It was mads known yesterday that there
were a few othor pooplo at the dinner ot Wll
Htm C. Whitney In tho Metropolitan Club, a
little o or iv wook ago, than was at first an
nounced. Among thorn were John A. MoCall,
President of tho Now York Life Insurance,
Company, and Kdward M. Bhopardot Brooklyn.
It Is reoorlod that Mr. McCoJJ and Mr. Bhep
nrrt did some very lively talking at tho dinner.
Iloih Mr. McCnll and Mr. Shepard wero out of
town, and ev-Gov. Flower was asked If no waa
at htcrtj to any anything about tho remarks of
11,; McCall and Mr. Shepard.
"So, fir, no. sir." replied Mr. Slower. "I am
not going to tell anything that occurred at tho
dinner."
Kx-Gov. Flowor has said all along that only
Tim Bun'4 cables from London concerning
the new sayings ot Christ were dlsoussod
at tho dinner. When Mr. Slower says this
he winks the other eye. As a matter
of fact, tho gold Democrats who surround
tJ Mr. Whitney at hla dinner practically
declared that If Tammany Indorsed tho Chicago
platform of 1BU0 thor would conttnuo tho bolt
agalnsl John C. Sheonan and Bryanltm. It was
in vlo known lust night that this ultimatum has
been delivered to Mr. Sheehan and that he will
think ov er It during his racatlon days.
Before Loader Sheehan loft New York ha told
his friends that he did not wish to Indorse the
Chicago platform, nnd that ho would try In every
wjy to avoid doing so, but that the demands
from Tammany's leaden and tho rank and fllo
of Tanimnny might ov erpower him.
Every now and then the namo of Elbrtdge T.
Otrrj Is montloned as Tammany'a possible can
didate for Mayor ot Creator New York. It was
ascertained last ulght on tho best authority that
this time Mr. Gerry's name la being seriously
considered.
Supremo Court Justice. Morgan J. O'Brien de
clares that be Is not a candidato and that nono
of his friends has any right to mention his
namy and furthermore belleves.lt was said, that
only Tnnimany men unfriondly to him will keep
Mm to tho front us a possible candidate ot the
Popocrats for Mayor of Orcator New York.
The Hon. Gideon J. Tucker, formerly Secre
tary of State, and sonior member of Tammany
Hall, has sent the following letter to the United
Democracy:
" Robert Sttwart, Ztq Chairman Executive Cbeimil
ttt.de " Dc jlr 8m: I take especial pleasure in sign
ing the within paper, for I wrote the first edi
torial published In this city In support of Mr.
Bryan s nomination last year, ana I voted for
him last year, as I had for twelve earlier
Democratic Presidential candidates. I am tho
senior member of tho Tammany Society, and an
ex-sachem of forty years ago, and am at present
member nf tbe Tammany Hall General Com
mittee from ttieTnenty-rlfth Assembly district.
I consider tho Democratic platform adopted at
Chicatto in 1800 to bo the beat platform ever
adopted for a candidate to stand upon.
"t favor tho Democratla platform adopted at
Chicago in 1800 and Its reafUrmatlon br the
party in New York, and In next fall's municipal
election 1 will nupport only candidates pledged
to support said platform.
"I favor the municipal ownership, control,
and opcr.it ion of street railways, gas, and elec
tric lighting plants, and 1 desire those to be an
l3uo in tho approaching municipal election.
Very respectfully and truly.

The Young Democracy of the Eighteenth
Assembly district of Brooklyn held a large
meeting at Kingston nail last evening. The
first speaker was former Senator Francis M.
lilvby. Ho said In part:
"The disloyal men who met at Indianapolis are
represented by a national committee, and this
august body assembled In New York three or
four dnya ago for the transaction of important
business. The entire domain of the United
, States furnished eight representatives, and the
, business proceeded Joyfully. They announced
that the gold bugs would make a contest in
three States in tbo coming tall, and that they
hold the balance of power everywhere. It was
to proclaim this, else we might never have
knonn anything about their existence.
"Concerning Jlr. Whitney's banquet at the
Metropolitan Club, the papers reported soven
persons present, which hardly covers the gold
bug party. IJuttbosuwhoriid attend indulged
inalot or moonshine talk, the bunion of which
appeared to relate to what was tho proper thing
to do against the interests of the people, and
what they would do to Tammany llall should
the leaders of that organisation fall to
bow down and worship them. Just now
Tammany occupies a very delicate posi
tion. If aho stands by the gold bugs
and abandons ber identity with the Democratio
party she will get contributions which she great
ly needs, and the friendship of the Palmer and
Bnckner outfit, which is not a much coveted
prize, and she will get kicked out ot the Demo-
I emtio party. If Tnmmany reaftlrms the princi
ples of the party, and unites in the nominations
of good. loyal Democrats tor all the elective
offices, then the gold bugs will bo compelled, un
less they are dirt eaters, to get out of tbo organ
isation and keep their contributions In the store
house. "What would suit Tammany In this emer
gency would be to play the straddle act, but this
year especially tbo people don't want any doublo
shuffle business they want straight goods for
once. If Tammany Is a Democratic organiza
tion, let her como out squarely for the party : If
the is owned by the disloyalists, let her deal
fairly with them and gel out of the Democratio
party."
Addresses were also delivered by James A.
Gray of the Home liule Democracy and Henry
Mchols, A district organisation was effected.

Tbo Cemmlulouer Says Ills Paction Will Con

City Works Commissioner Theodore B. Willis
ot Brooklyn will make another effort to
pull the props from under County Clerk Jacob
Worth, his factional opponent In Republican
organisation. He thus outlined the situation
yesterday:
"Well, for one thing. I think Buttling is not
particularly woll liked. And Worth is not on
band to be consulted by those who are looking
for favors for themselves or others. There Is
naturally a good doul of dissatisfaction. Be
sices, it has been obvious to me for some time
thai there it a growing aontiment in the party in
favor ot the gentlemen with whom I associate.
"We will control the County Convention.
There Is no doubt of this."

"They are highly Interesting, not aa adding

popular traditional materials out of which the
Gospels were brought to their presont form.
"Tho date assigned by the editors Is too late to
have any testimonial value. The text attests
only the current conception of tho Churoh In tbe
latter halt of tbe socond century. The gain is
simply ecclesiastical, not religious. I wonder at

window in Wetzal'a store. For a moment tho
window was covered with a sheet of flame.
The glass was cracked in the centra and a

Only rear Bfeeadt Between the Two Beats at
tbe Kal of a Tnentr-two Mile Bare The
Syce Downs the Venredor by Orer Four
Mlnntes Shark Beau the Wave Handily.
The featuro of the yacht racing oft Larchmont
yesterday afternoon was the "grand-stand " fin
ish of the thirty-footers, in which Newbury D.
Lawton's Raoooon beat J. M. MacDonough's
Mutmebyfour tveonds. The result exhibited
more fully than vo ever boon demonstrated be
fore the wonder! Uy quick working type of rac
ing machine this popular dust has proved.
It was on tho homestretch that tho oxcltoment
was at Its height. The Raccoon had a slight
lead, with the Musmo hanging grimly on hor loo
quarter, lots than twenty yards nway, and both
tearing through tbe green water with broad
bands of foam sliding past their mahogany
hulls. The Mutme kept edging up toward the
flying Raccoon, her owner, J. M. MacDonottgb,
using overy art of which ho Is matter to blanket
bis opponent, Newbury Lawton, on the leading
boat, was determined that he needed all the air
that was stirring In order to win, and kept the
Raccoon oft more end more, still followod by the
Muimo llko a Nemesis, until thoy woro far oft to
the southward of tholr coune.
Then, fatter than could bo done on any other
class of racing yachts, splnnakors woro dousod
almost simultaneously, booms wero gybed over
to port together, and, with relative positions un
changed, they again shot with accoleratod
speed for the finish line. Had the Raccoon been
thirty seconds slower In this manoeuvre tho
Musmo would have crossed tbo finish line n
winner, or bad the latter craft lagged even tho
smallest fraction ot a minute, the Raccoon
would have won by a wide margin. Both sailors,
howaver, wero on their mettle, nnd tho yachts
behaved perfectly, Tho nmnoeuvro was re
peated again and again, each time ns close to
gether as though controlled by a single mind,
until the Raccoon flow across tho lino a winner
by the narrow margin of fourseconds.
Another featuro of the day's sport was tho
race between Frod Hoyt's Byco nnd ex-Commodore
Harry Gllllg's Voncodor. which has hereto
fore met with accidents in ono form or another
and been compelled to withdraw. This tlmo sbo
sailed an excellent race, but, notwithstanding
tho fact that Bbo was steered by Hazcn Morse,
ono ot tho cleverest amatour sailors on Iong Isl
and Bound, was beaten by Gardner & Cox's pro
duction. The preparatory signal was at 11:30 o'clock.
Tho wind was blowing light from tho south
southwest, but the weather sharps predicted
that it would grow stronger during tho nf tor
noon. The schooner class did not MIL At 11:10
o'clock class IC ot sloops was sent awar with a
blast of tbe whistle. This Included tho Vence
dor, satlod by Hazen Morse, and Frod M. Hoyt's
Hjco with ber owner nt tbo wheel and his usuul
Corinthian crow of export satloruion. Tho
course was the samo as wassailed on tho other
days of tbe week, the first leg being a reach,
with wind on the starboard beam, to an nnchorod
dory oft Mantlnlcock Point; thenco to a mark In
Hempstead Harbor oft Prospect Point, which
was ubeat with tho long leg on the port tack
and a brood reach on the port tack to tho homo
mark; tho course sailed over twice, making
twenty-two nautical miles.
After eomo preliminary Jockeying theVence
dor dashed over tbe Imaginary lino a length
ubcad of tho Syce, carrying an Immense balloon
jib. The Hyce broke out a balloon foresail as
she reached tbo mark, and in addition spread a
Jib and reaching Jib topsail. The Vencedor
drew away from her rival almost from tbe start,
and turned tbe eastern mark twenty seconds In
tho lead. They woro timed by the Roiratta
Committee as follows: Vencodor, l'J:ll:55;
Syce. lS:lti:lB, The Vencedor flattened her
sails for the thresh to the Hempstead Harbor
mark as soon as she weathered the dory, and
made a long leg on the port tack for the buoy oil
Prospect Point, while the Syce held on with hor I
boom to port fully two minutes later. Tho wind
at this time had hauled a little to the southward,
nnd for a time the boats could almost lay their
course for the socond mark, that loomed up
dimly through tho bluo haze that settled over
the Long Island shore.
The breere became fluky at this stage, and the
Syce, standing more to tbo southward, appar
ently had tho better of It. Tho Vencedor, which
had split tacks, did not seem to bo footing as
fast ns ber rival. Tbey camo together when
nearing the Hempstead buoy, and For a tlmo It
looked as though tho Syce would cross the bows
of the Vencodor. but the latter, on the starboard
tack, forced the Syce about under her Ico. She
wna, however, still In tbo lead until beaded by
the batlllng breezes, when sbo was compellod to
relinquish her advantage, and tho Hjce w-aa tho
first to case sheets around the buoy for the reach
homo. 'J hey wero timed us follows: Sice.
1'.':&1:S5; Vencedor. l'.!:fl!!:57.
In the mean tlmo the tblrt)-fnotera had heon
sent away at 11:00 o'clock, with tho Raccoon,
ns usunl, in tho load. Tbo Musmo was three sec
onds later In crossing the Imairlu iry lino, on tho
Raccoon's weather quarter. The Carolina slip
ped over the lino olf to leeward, ten sec-onus
later than Musmc.

Tho Haccoon reached tho first marl; In ad
rnnco of tbe Musmo, while the Carolina kept
dropping uteadily astern. In the beat to tbo
pecond mark tho Musmo drew upconsiot rably
on the Haccoon. nnd, receiving the benefit of a
favoring fluke of wind, led hor rival uround tbo
Hempstead mark. As u matter of fact bhe
lessened the distance between lioraolf nnd
Nurotaqultoa little. They wero timed as thoy
eased shcots around the buu) as follows: No

1:10:20: Carolina. 1:15:47. With the excep

1:30:38. Thu Shark and Wnvo, which had
sailed the small trlnnglc, were timed at tbe end
of tbe first round in this way : shark, 1:01:D1;
Wave, 1:31:58.
Tbe Syce continued to Incroaeo her lead after
tho yachts hod swung their booms oier to port
for the roach to tho eastern mark on the second
round, but the Musme ami ltaucouu woru hav

were timed at tho first mark of tho second round
In tbo follotvlng order: S)co, l:it:10; Vence

lead of fifteen seconds at this point, hut every
foot was coutnstod by I ho Musmo. Tho Caro
lina wns hopelessly astern and withdrew after
completing tho lint round.
Tho Vcmcdor split tacks again with tbo Syce
in tho hope of gcttlnga better breeze In along
the Lon Island shore, while tho Sue stood oil
to tho wostwurd with hor boom tostitrboard, tho
result proving that tbo latter course was the
wiser. Tho loadors wero timed arouudthel'ros

hauled still more in thoaoulliwurd during tho
second round and increased to n good silling
breeze. Tho yachts dropped spinnaker poles to
fiort after easing shcots uround tho Hempstead
isrbor mark, and with the exception of tholuf
flngiuatch hot ween tho Itaccoonund Musmo, the
raco ended without furthor incident. Tho times

Ware and Sholdnn played a neat counter

Atlanta, Oa,, July 23. In a statement Issued ii I
by Oov. Atkinson to-day, In reference to the "Ml jt
numorous lynching recently in Georgia, he : ,' V,
says: MM'
" That you may fully appreciate tho enormity !f! ,"0 !
of tho wrong dono by so called lynoh law to the 1$L m 1
rcputatlou of the Stato, to civilization, and to :$lfft
the rights of mnn, I Invite you to Inquire Into 3j V
each of tho recent cases which have moved me Mf f 1
lu pon this communication, irwi
"Tho conduct of thonuiblnoachcnse Is un wlJi
justifiable, disgraceful, and shocking, but In V MRri '
one of them tho wrong done was especially hor- SB.
rtfylng. Whllo engaged In writing this message 9fH
thoro camo Into my ofllco, asking that ho bo ao- ftM'V
corded a trial In our courts, a man who had 114 Jm f j
from an angry mob which endeavored to capture) im 1 1
and lynch him. ;LW jj ,
"Mob violonco doos not aid in suppressing "JBP'
lawlessness, but lncroasos It. Ono such mob Hm
begets another mob. If you will note the re- 1ffi ft
ported sequanco of the lynching In Montgomery Kef f
county, where, It Is raid, murdor has been added 'M& t
to murder by thu killing ot tho father ot the girl lf$j 5'
nlltgcd to have boon assaulted by tho man who tffi ?
was lj nchod, you will soo to what mob violence wm f
will imiurodly load. jtV
"Wo all know of many wrongs It has dono s'k
and of mistakes It has mado In so ectlng its via- .m 1
tlins. How many innocent men have been sao- vfevR I
rlflced by this lawless court can nsvor be known, -H?
for It donlet its victims the right to be heard la 5 I
their own defence, and then closes their moutha -Mi!-
fororcr, Tho peoplo can safely Intrust the pan 'jl i
lshmeut of crime to our courts. It the men il'S
charged with crlinos nro guilty, they should be lXlf
punished as provided by law, and tho courta vtS.
should and will Inflict this penalty. 'lj
" Men soem to forget that each man who en- A-iivi
gages in a lynching violates the law against VaKii
murder, and that tho penalty Is death upon the f He
gallows. The arresting officer is now clothed ''laoleS-
with power to take tbe lite of his assailant fiaH
when resisting their efforts to tnko a prisoner 'm
from him, and It Is his duty to take tho life ot 'xaH
the assailants if nocossary to protect his prisoner lH
nnd retain him In custody. l-sH
"That it may be ascertained whether or not tioKi
ho does his full duty In this rospoct In every in v'lk5
Blanco, I recommend the passage ot a law re- tfl&
quiring n thorough investigation In evory ease, 'iff;
on ; providing adequate punlshmont when he fUS
falls short of the full measure ot his duty. Ex- fiBI
Istlnglaws are Inadequate to meet theemer tfUt
gency. Other laws should therefore be enacted -ioBSf
to enforce our Constitution and to giro to cltl- 'H?j
tens the rights guaranteed In our fundamental :W
law." rR.v
