PHILADELPHIA, August "a, 1874.
The politicians are working extremely hard in
the formation of their respective tickets Last
evening, the Natives completed their Legislative
| and City Council ticket, while the Democrats in
great measure finished theirs. The latter party
| nominated Horn X. Kneas as their candidate for
Congress from the First District; Samuel Badger.
| Tor Mayor George Emlen, for State Senate; VIM
Duane, Andrew Miller VIM. Barger, DR.. ID. C.
Skenett, and George X. Childs, for Assembly,
The ticket is pretty fair one, with the exception
OF Badger for Mayor, who is by no means admired
by many of his own party However good or bad,
il stands no possible chance of succeeding In the
First Congressional District, the very devil is to
play. Col FIorence-and who don't know the
good looking, black hsk ered smiling Colonel p
is extremely desrous OF being sent to Congress,
while DR.. Lehman and one John Thompson, are
also seeking the nomination. The contest lies be-
tween Col. F. and Judge Petit, but have no doubt
the latter will be the man. He is honest, strong
and respectable
The Natives, 1t would seem, are determined to
cut their ihroats by nominating Levin, Of the Daily
Sun, as their candidate. That he is a shrewd and
| intelligent man, no one doubts, but his violent
| disposition, coupled with many other matters, will
utterly destroy the party in the estimation Of hun
dreds who otherwise would have given their warm
est support to the cause Is it true, that at poi-
cal meeting in the city OF New York, in 1888, Mr.
lrlshmen and the sons OF lrlshmen The charge
has been made, and perhaps some OF your readers
can satisfy the curious.
In the Third District several persons have been
nominated by the democrats for Congress, among
whom are Charles Brown, Recorder Vaux and
John I Smith, the present representative.
The Wings in the city will have some difficulty
in selecting candidate for Mayor The friends
Of Gel. John Swift using their influence in his
behalf, but then who wants pipe-ayer again at
the head Of the city government! should not be
apd N gpa he partv unit
more honest and Intelligent man could not be elect
ed to office.
A great mass meeting of the Tyler adherents
was held last night at the Chinese Museum An
Omnibus, with band Of music, and labeled with
pacards, drove through the streets the whole Of
yesterday, from eight o'clock in the morning until
sent, beside those led there through curiosity,
amounted in all to about 300 The Collector Of
the Port, Mr.: Calvin Blythe, disinterested indi-
vldga, presided, assisted by number Of Repealers
as Vice Presidents and Secretaries. The Collector
made speech in his usual dry and plosy style,
which well nigh put to sleep the Repealers them
selves, and drove from the building every man
who was led there with the expectation Of hearing
something rich. When he finished, there was
partial effort at applause but the speech itself being
so drowsy and dull in its effects, the effort to raise
| noise died away like the Rrumbing of a party Of
old Nanoos laborng under the effects OF lengthy,
| dry, and pthless story
| That man, whose "prnciples are in proportion
mocratic style; but he appeared so out of his ele-
ment in making that kind Of Speech that il
with much difficulty he got along at all There
was no kind OF enthusiasm pervaded the meeting
except when he mentioned the name OF "Pok and
Dallas" &c. did not wait long enough TO hear
all that was said, but have been assured by those
who were present that II was miserable failure
throughout, and in all human probability the last
"Tyler and Texas gathering that will ever be
heard OF iii Philadelphia. John Tyler is "gone
