THE COUNTY CONTEST.

Intense excitement has been created in Demo.
cratic circles by the publication of the order,
signed by James Lynch, while Governor OF the
Aims House, directing that the bodies Of all the
poor who died in Bellevue Hos tal should be given
up to the doctors and medical students for dissec-
ton. This charge is sustained by the sworn test-
mony of Mr.. Timothy Daily, late Warden OF the
Hospital in question, and is further backedup by Mr.
Days appeal to the evidence Of Ex-Governor Pat
rick Henry, who was present while Mr. DAILY re-
monstrated with Mr.. Lynch against the barbarity
and irrelgiOn Of such an order.
This Development greatly increases the chances
of Matthew T. Brennan, he being the regular De-
mocratic nominee, while Mr.. Lynch only appears
as the standard bearer Of the future "Duke OF
Bloomir gdale." 1t is to be sincerely hoped by all
men who are not bndly attached to Fernando
Woods fortunes that Mr.. Lynch will not succeed
in this contest-such an event rendering it impossi-
BILE for TIE few honest men who are now IN partial
control of Tammany Hall 10 continue any longer
their opposition to the successful insurgent against
party discipline. Let Mr.. Lynch be elected on
next Tuesday, and Fernando Wood will go back
into power at the head of united Democracy
polling forty or fifty thousand votes at each NUM-
cipal Election.
For the Office of Register, the Republicans have
an admirable candidate in the person Of JOHN ii.
KEYsER, who deserves and will receive the full
extent of party suffrage. But it is not TO be con-
ceaed that this Office, which with the Republicans
is one of mere pecunisry gain to an individual has
L. e fto1 tO pctab IiRhInD
the regularity of the Democratic County organic
atops; and the vote between Messrs. Brennan and
Lynch will be cited TO determine whether Messrs.
Cagger Richmond, and Church, were justified, at
their last State Convention, in attempting to es-
tablish equality between the Tammany and Mozart
factions This is a very serious question, and al
most Of as much interest to the Republicans as to
the 4" UnterIifed.'
Personally, both Keyser and Brennan are very
strong men, having records free from any stain.
TIE duties of the Registry would be safe in the
hands of either and between their respective
friends no bitterness of rivalry need exist 1t is
probable that the Mozart Hall men will offer to
trade off their Congressional candidates in certain
districts for votes in favor of james Lynch, as
Register; but we hope that no such arrangement
will be entered into.
Important as Congressman are, and will be, it
is also important to us, as citizens of New York,
that Mr.. Wood should not be allowed to reenter
upon power at the head of an overwhelming Dem
ocratic majority; and we therefore urge all Re-
publcans, while they do justice to their own excel
lent candidate, to take care that Lynch-thgt is,
Fernando Wood-derive no advantage from such
fidelity. 1t was our interest as RepublicansIsst
Fall that Tammany Hall should not crush out Fer
nando Wood; it is now our interest that Fernando
Wood shall not crush out Tammany Hall. Let US
elect Keyser if possible; at all events, let US de-
feat Wood by defeating Lynch
