caucus thrown uncertainty upon the calculation
every ono.
The friends Of Raymond first made an effort for re-
publican caucus, to take part in it but those of
republican aneceders. Ca this move they based the
success OF Raymond, but that was found unpopular,
and before they changed their tactics a call was
ISSUED got up by OF The State officers elected the
Cnion ticket and those who supported that ticket in
Guiding Tamadge, for the meet in the Assem-
bly, chamber for all in favor of sustaining the policy
tho President. Under this every member, Regency de-
mocrats and all, who placed themselves that plat
form, could take part The friends OF Raymond i'm
pediatey set at work 20 counteract that movement,
and have 10 day been circulating call for all those who
supported the successful members or the Union State
ticket but up TO lae this evening they have been
able to get only twenty members to sign IT, This
meet in tho Assembly chamber two hours before the
tnsr Caucus This move at first appeared to help Ray
imond, but his opponents have made II tell against
him BY the cry that he wanted to divide
the Legislature and prevent from being unanimous

question but that Raymond has lost by the move.
The Senators have decided to their call upon the
same basis Of the first call issued for tho Assembly eau
GUS which materially strengthens the first for the
ASSEMBLY caucus and tells against Raymond.
The friends Of Avod and Hulburd have decided not To

been in caucus at the Argus and Caggers oce to see
they would go for RAYMOND If the friends Of the latter
would support straight democrat for Clerk. But thus

republicans are nearly all for Raymond.
The barnburner republicans held caucus last week at
she st. Nicholas Hotel and declared for Huburd which
was acquesced In by Dana, OF the Tribune but not by
Greeley.
Mayor Opdyke and Collector Barney also refuse to give
Huburd thoir support and have out for Raymond.
That divides that element'of the republican party.
Raymond claims that he has forty votes to start
Fith but my figure only gives him twenynine to start
with and but forty in any event. provided the com.
binaton with the Regency democracy fail with twenty for
Hubbard, and twenty six for Alyord and nine for
Pierce.
Raymond starts OF the strongest but everything de-
