In the third Congressional district, (6ve lower
wards) the prospects are that Gen. Wabrdge will re
ceive the old bunker nomination II So It is thought
his chance Of an election win be better than MI
Ncol the present member. The nomination by the
free soil men, of Mr. Renel Smith, respectable
chant, formerly Of the firm of Smith and Mills Front
sreet) will, 1t is believed, take about many whig
votes dissatisfied with Mr.. Phonx those Of demo.
Gratis leaving good chance for the democratic Cass
and Butler candidate, If he is popular man
In the fourth district comprising the eth 7th, 10th
and 18th wards which give 600 majority for the
democracy when united, the nomination of Mr.. Ma
clay is generally scqussoed in by rival candidates
always lucky in running in that district bids fair to be
reelected In 1874, the opposition to him among o
portion Of the democrats and the native Americ
was so strong, that his majority was only 1885, while
for Governor, Silas Wright had 1921, and in 1886,
there was On actual majority against Macay but the
opposition was divided among three candidates, and
Some persons think that Mr. Robinson, of the Tri-
By of GOO sS yoss from
while he would only have lost fe whig votes OF those
prejudiced against lrishmen. But MIR Walter Under
Mr.. 10. Hoxie, and Others, was nominated, and
Mr. Robinson's friends are indit uant. An attempt
district, to strike Of Underhis name, and insert
Robinsons and as MIR. U. and many of his friends
Of the peaceful sect Of Quakers and not fighting
tnsy be expected that the shillelah party will sue
coed.
In the fifth district, 18th, 9th and l4th wardsO the
frie nds Of Mr. Latson still hold out and declare that
other whig shall be nomi mated On the recent
ballots he received thirteen votes and William A. F.
Pentz, Front street merchant and popular with the
Fire Department twelve The chances are in favor of
Pentz's nomination. The democrats are likely to
have three candidates, viz: Daniel F.. Sickles and
Mike Walsh, old hunkers and Mark Spencer, free
soil
In the sixth district he six upper wards of the city,
the democrats have made strong nominations, viz:
George Law for the long term and John NJ Bradhurst
for the short term bot hard to beat TIE former it will
be recolectsd, is opposed by James Brooks, of the
Express and the latter by Horace Greeley, of the
Iyibune-the chance for the latter being much the
best 1t Is supposed Brooks will from 5000 to
5000 behind Gen Taylor, from the detection Of the
Irish wings and the native Americans The free soil
candidates David Dudley Field, and John Town
send but that party will not probably poll over 1000
votes in the district
