The past has been of excitement anxiety and
connection anon the politicians big and little, Of this
city The rallyng buge has been sounded in every d.
recton and din ant confusion have existed almost equal
to that of the marching Of mighty armies to the deadly
conflict the field OF battle The cry for the Union Is
the only one now raised b., the politicians Those who
bu, few months ago were loud In their demands for
peace are now among the loudest In their demands
FOR . vigorous prosecution Of the war. Others
who still entertain the semisecesson and
called peace sentiments remain sienttheir voices
senced by the popular enthusiasm in favor Of put
ting down the rebellion.
The republicans have held their primary elections, and
elected delegates to tho County, Judicial Senatorial and
Assembly Nominating Convontions These conventions are
all 10 meet during the coming week. and will have nice
little squabble over the question OF Custom House and
antCustom House. There has been but little attention
paid 10 their movements during the past week. but the
episode in the Twenty-thir street meeting Friday
evening has turned public attention the regular
organization under the impression that Is fast taking
hold Of the public mind that the Union business would
soon blow over and matter Of the republicans
in for their share Of attention Their County
Convention meets Monday night, and the
republican leaders now arguing that 1t
Is their duty 10 make straight out nomina-
tions and keep up their party organization.
They argue that in city from which many democrats
have gone TO the war in which they have the Custom
House. Police and Comptrolers patronage, with the de-
mocracy divided, they should keep up their organ-
Zaons-otherwise Mozart with its fire and energy, and
antiRegency, antiTammany and anti-abotion ralying
cry, will sweep the field and actually the
genuine war party. Under this programme they
work, and the first convention meets ON to might
with the antiCustom House party claiming ma
tority in the Convention. The candidates tina,
will be brought before tho Convention are:-For
Sheriff, VIM. R. Stewart, Owen W. Brennan D. D. Conover
John V. Gridey and Josiah W Brown-the last two are
on the Custem House list and the others on tho anti
Custom House slate for County Clerk there is j. s Kirby
Geo, Dikes, Jo Hoxie Edgar Ketchum D. D. Conover
for District Attorney, Charles Spencer and A. Oakley
Hail. for Supervisor, Orison Blunt and Guy r. Pclton
Tor Coroners Dr. Ramsay and of tho republican
doctors OF the city 1t looks as though the anti
Custom House slate would turn up just before the
Convention organizes with the following ticket -
Sheriff, W r. Stewart; County Clerk, Edgar Ketchum or
Kirby; District ATTORNEY Oakley Hall; Supervisor, O.
Blunt
On Tuesday evening the Judicial Convention will meet
and the anti-Custom House party have marked upon
their states the Of those Judges whose terms Of
Office expire this fal-repubicans and democrats all to-
gether while the Custom House party intend to urge
new men for these Offices and talk of Tamadge for
the Marine Court TO get him of tho way of Bruce
the Assembly and Senatorial Conventions also this
week. and the candidates quite busy In many Of the
districts Nominations will not be made present. but
postponement will be secured many districts until fur
Their Developments, to take advantage the weakness
q their opponents. Among the persons likely to be
placed in nomination have the of Raymond Of
the Timer, and Greeley. There is also a rumor that
after the republicans have made their nominations they
will hold themselves open for bargain with either Tam
many or Mozart and will form union with that party
that wi.give them the best But OF this we shall
have occasion TO speak hereafter.
fammany Hall il apparently stand still--struck
dumb at the movements going in every direction by
Tho managers Of the Union machine But this apparent
silence only the surface they caucusng and hold
ing private confabs, side door meetings without number
determined if possible to have their candidates turn up
on most Of the Union ticket and then they magnan
-mousy endorse them. 1t is interesting TO watch the
movements of the Tammany cques their efforts to
outwit each other. No decided action has yet
been taken by the General Committee of Tam
has been referred to sub committee report plan Of
tcton 1t is, however, understood that the committee
v adopt strong war platform, to be called the Tam
lany Hall PLATFORM and will then send series Of ques
Ions to the several candidates nominated and will sup
lrt none but those who place themselves fairly and
tuay on their PLATFORM answer in accordance to the
ced of Tammanythe replies Of all the candidates be
Ibshed The anti-Ring portion CT Tammany have held
ders and numerous secret caucuses over slate and
hdane Rumor has fixed for them nice little arrange
INIT, although the leaders Of that faction deny that
thy have made up slate and that their programme is
otofton to the slate of the Ring. Tho slate that it IS
igdrally supposed the antRng party has made out is
.asbllows:-
SfnG.. Judge Michael Connolly.
Couty Clerk. Elijah +. Purdy.
Dislct Attorney Nelson j. Waterbury
Sulrme Court. 1hos w. Clerke
sup'ior Court. J. p p E bassoar
COMMON Pleas. .......... John X. Brady
Marie Court. e. Y. Hearne.
Vile it is apparently their object fight the slate
the ing, and slate Of their own, yet it is I'M
doubdly their intention push the above list Two
or thee names may BIO changed, but most Of them will
stand The Ring faction have only made up slate for
threeofces. These are:-Willnm Tweed for Sheriff,
Henryiene, County Clerk, and roye for District At
to rne though it is said the latter has been scratched
but affair learn man has been as yot
substnted-probably waiting Tor bargain. The con-
test bween these factions has been spirited during
the pal week-not however, any regular warfare but
by theostng Of sentnes and watch the move
ments each other, and the devices adopted
10 prcpnt the spies obtaining any reliable information.
The Rim believe that they have frightened Clancy from
the fe and forced him show the white feather while
he tn other hand declares weak invention of the
enemy. The recent appointment of Street Commissioner
Is unqueonably working change Tarninany in favor
OF the Rig party. But in the meantime ia Clancy or
Purdy t. slate candidate Of the old guard Tammany9
Mozarhppears 10 be keeping quiet possible. Its
manager say nothing, but keep up devil of thinking
and fobably waiting what will be the long and
short ofh numerous Union movements that are Just
in Ill blast. Another week, however, will find
Mozart inhe field, going through her monthly trials in
preparath for the great event to come.
The institutional Union party, alias Bell Everetters
alias Amdcan, Is entirely absorbed In the Union move
ment, ant is 10 be found mixed up with the Twenty.
