The two vessels retained their relative posi tions approximately to the end of the battle, the Brooklyn steaming nearly straight ahead, I should Judge, and engaging any and all the Spanish ships, the Oregon endeavoring to come to close action with the sternmost one, and when she was driven out of action wo kept on after the next one.” Later, in response to a question. Captain Clark said the Brooklyn must have been en gaged with four Spanish ships when he first saw Schley’s ship.

Gaynoi- Says Shepard \Will “Pluck Up by the Roots” the “Gross Abuses” of Tammany. The ar.tiiiiae ot Ju s tice W illiam J. Gay- nor In regard to th e m a y o ralty lias been in doubt until to-day so fa r as the public is concerned. It is now known, on the a u tho r ity of Ju s tice G aynoh that ho him s e lf suggested the nom ination o t Mr. Shepard. It is known fu r t h e r t h a t in a l e t t e r to Mr. B roker In w h ich ha suggested Mr. S h e p a r d ’s nom lnatioq he refused to be a eandidiite blm self. H is w o rds to B roker in th a t le t te r . iu which he sc a l h i n g li criUcl.ses tho ad m inistration of the p a s t .‘‘our y e a rs, a r e printed to-day for the first time. In answ e r to the m a n y different s t a t e m e n ts and su r m ises put forw ard of how Mr. Shepard cam e to be nom inated for M ayor, Mr. B roker a t the D e m o c ratic Blub and the Tam m a n y H a il headqu a r ters in M a n h a ttan has repeatedly said that th e nomin.ation w a s due to Ju s tice W illiam J. Gaynor and m a d e upon his req u e s t in a lette r to Mr. B roker. The sam e th ing h a s been repeated over and over again by o th e r Tam m a n y p o liticians and also iu B rooklyn by Jam e s Shovlln and by C o u n sellor C h a rles H . Hyde, who w as form e rly Judge G aynor’s secretary and still hears a close relatio n to him. A r e p resen tativ e of the Eagle to-day called on Judge G aynor at h is house and asked w h ether he w rote such a le t t e r . Judge Gay nor refused to he interview e d , b u t w rote the following and handed it to the repo rter: Justice Gaynor’s Statement. “I cannot say anything of a private m a tter, but I favored the nom ination ot Mr. Shepard. I have long adm ired his great ability and his work to r honesty and high purpose in gov ernm e n t. I am w ith him now, because I be lieve th a t if elected he 'will • n o t give us a m erely negatively respectable adm inistration of th e governm ent, but t h a t he will pluck up by the very roots, and w ithout regard to any 1 man or organization, the gross abuses which the last four years have developed.” The rep o r ter afterw a rd saw several prom i n e n t politicians, one of whom said: Gaynor’s Letter to Croker. “Yes, Judge G a y n o r brought th e uam e of Mr. Shepard forw a rd to r nom ination. The E a g le suggested th e Judge him self for n o m i nation. M r. S h e p a r d ’s nam e had n o t been m c u tloned a t all. Judgo Gaynor a t once w rote to Mr. B roker stro n g ly u r g in g tho nom ination of .Mr. S h e p a rd, and the n e x t day w h en the B rooklyn po litician s w e n t over to see Mr. C r o k e r he pulled out Judge G a y n o r ’s le t t e r and said th a t the judge did n o t w a n t the nom ination, hut urged the selectio n ot Shepard. “ Mr. C roker a t once said he would accepf Shepard, and th a t Is how Shepard cam e to ho nom inated. The most laughable th in g to those on th e Inside, and who knew the facts, waa Coler’s sta te m e n t given out the n e x t day of how he (Coler) procured the nom ination of Shepard.” The re p o r t e r afterw a r d obtained th e con ten ts of Judge G a y n o r’s lette r to B roker. P e rm ission could be obtained to p r i n t only the last sentence, w h ich Is as follow s: “ If Mr. S h e p a rd Is nom inated p o litics in this city w ill be im m e d iately lifted up and m ade respectab le, and if he be elected m a y o r th e governm e n t of tho city w ill be lifted up and m a d e decent, and th e r e will during his term be no such succession of de grading scandals as have hum iliated us all during the p a s t four y e a r s .” FOR A UNIVERSAL STRIKE.
