Tie complexion Of t,s Tamuany General Commit
tee of 1850 will no, differ essentially from that of 1885,
and the members viii Je substantially pablisbed BY
us on MoEday lat. In many of the Wards seats are
eontested; but the Inspectors who believed "
be All sound Tammany men, supposed TO have far
nshed credentials only to ibose who were knowo 10
be of the right stamp. The Commis.ee preseuis sew
era changes in its personnel from the pres

years ago, after bis appointment as Attorney 10 the

with Mr.. IT, @. Fields. who alsp holds under
Busted The Hon. John Cochrane, M. c.,
sIso retires- why or wherefore, no man seems
TO know; perhaps for reason connected with the
famous incarnaie devil speech. Another M. G.

Gus before the time appointed for the meeting Of the
Committee. OF one thing we are assured. all those
who suspected Of avorog the return Of Pernande
Wood TO the ranks Of the Regulars" will be rgidly
excluded. The contested seats are as follows: The
John Y. Savage ticket in the Finh Ward Ia con-
tested by Francis Il. TIlOu & Co. The former
have the inspectors and the inside track The Rynders
Tweed ticket in the Seventh Ward is opposed by Capt
james Mcmahon, Cornelius Hardnge & Co., with
slight prospects OF success. 10 the Sixteenth Ward
tie seats Of Surveyor Hart and Charles K Graham
reDd Of Daniel f. Sickesl are contested by Melntyrs
and 0sgOod Of the Public Stores. Barney Reilly,
Bainbridge Smith & Co.. contest the seats Of Anthony
Dugro and Chss. g. Cornell n the Seventeenth wsrd,
with good prospect Of ousting Duero at least Tho
Eighteenth Ward is split up, Edward Cooper aud
friends, who have he Inspectors cerliGcste, being
challenged by Jim Irving John n. Briggs, @. God
frey Gunther, John f. Devlim, and Deputy -sheiR
yultee. In spite Of Mr. Coopers claims upon tue party
for services in times past the Irving ticket will Be
tuccestful
In the XIXth Ward, Ex-Aldeman Hcriek Super

an E1-Alderman with newspaper at his back being
esteemed more valuable ally than an Alderman with
out an organ.
Mr.. District Attorney Waterbury, Peter B. Sweeney
s. Co.. in the xXtb Ward, tre opposed by Col Menek,
Recorder Smith, and Noah A. Childs. The District
Attorney has the Inspectors certifcate but in any
event, be is of course too valuable an auxiliary TO the
Post-Ofiee party, to be sacrificed.
In the XXIst Ward, John McKeop, Bill Sinclair, and
John f. BrOderiek oppose the Post~0fioe ticket, No.
tuned BY the inspectors; the result is doubtful
