'rhe neopIe remember the hard fight made by

fine sterling '.hardshell" Integrity Of the latter.
who valued the political freedom OF the city
more than office.
The masses throughout the city are shouting
for Wood and Bronson, and they VIII he sue

Nessrs. lIavemcyer and Tilden, though re.
spectabic and worthy men in private HE,
have been a sort of Sialncse twins in pnlltical
gyrationS.
The first sectional ticket ever run al the
North for President and lice. President was IN
lS4S. when the Buffalo free sOllerS nominated
Martin Van Barren for. President, and Charles
Adams, of Boston. 1or Eice-Prcsident. The
latter was known to be Il free soil ab0litioni>t.
Mr.. lIavcineycr on that OCCASION was a canai'
date for Elector on that ticket.
Again. in lSJii he was charged, | d" not
know positively on what grounds, aS having
supportcd Fremont v 10 Mr.. Tilicn he took
the same course in lS4S, and has since gener-
ally acted with the soft shell Democracy OF this
/ State.
1t is said that Mr.. lIevemeyer made his a:.
c~eptance of the nomination at the hands "l
Tammany Hail, contingent on their nomina.
ton Of Mr.. Tildcn for corporation attorney.
While the Tammany nominees have taken
up men thus open to the charges ri having
deserted Democratic principles, Mes>rS. W ooG
and Bronson have been as true 10 them under
all changes and circumstances rs the steel ut
the compass needle to the pole.
II is easy to see, therefore, III what way the
bone and >inew Of the Democratic mass will
