The movements Of politicians just attract FAR

unusually active 1her plames are seen lodging
around in every direction, as preparing for

strong friendship in favor Of Mccarthy, who has served

have warm supporters Mccarthy be yet has also
bitter enemies while Richardson passes through without
any assaans. There is another question which also
bears upon this well all other In city like

Spectabe vote without regularly organized system at
the polls It is necessary that they should have boxes,
and to take charge OF them and give the tickets
who have had experience in that line; Otherwise it
amounts 10 little. A organization may have all
The meetings that II chooses, have large and enhu-
siasto gatherings every night before election; but
whom election day comes II they have not all the
paraphernaia necessary, they will bc swamped. Sore
heads and disappointed men may talk; others, with
the very best Of intentions, may iudustriously work
for some person who has beeu thrown overheard,

but when election day comes they very seldom TO be

expect TO defeat the regular machine ticket not
70 be too jubilant their prospects, but
work and wait until after election before they

certain, but with many o; the contingencies asanst

Bot let this 90 on like TO IT, II forms plcasant

Whilst all OF this wrapglpg s gong on among the m
terrified Of the city, hesrepubcans not IN
very harmonious condition. AT no period sin'e the
formation OF the republican party has II been disor
ganizcd 10 this city as Il is at present. They have
managed to unite upon two persons the county
soket and The Judiciary and about for Senator
On everything else they quarrclipg like cats and
dogs. They have dropped their old name. The
party is split in twain, Some faction calling Itself
Union and the other tho peoples Tho former rs the
coward conservative wing, and the other the Chase
faction Each faction have nominated their senators
and Assemblymen. and are now quarreing over them.
oud the election be postponed for about three weeks,
doubt' II there would bo thing left OF either fac
ton, 20 bitter Is their animosiiy. Essr side would
much sooner sec democrat succeed than one OF The
opposite republican faction. They In reality in po
sit,on 70 have but little effect upon ho coming elections
Preparations being made by OF them 10 scratch
tho State ticket quite extensively There are several
candidates whom that ticket who viii be
badly scratched The day OF election Whom men open
y such and such candidates don't belong 70 our
stripe, won't have anything TO do with him, and that
soo with oarnestncss the public may mako up their
minds hat there Is something In il.
Thoso who look for formidable front OF tn, republi
sans on election day in this city will, We imagine nnd
themselves disappointed. In fact OF tho candidates
whom both sides have united upon urged 10 with
draw By some Of their friends In few Instances they
will show . vote Of some mportrSce; but as
general thing u will be roor anair and frit-
tered away BY thcsquarres Of factions. Had Tammauy
Hall nominated straight ticket, repudiatcd all out
sido organizations, and laid down decided and positive
war platform, she would have absorbed half Of tho
sntre republican VOTE and thus have completely ds
organized tho republican party that.i, could have
made decent rally In this city In the Presidential
lest next year. Poor Tammany In taking tho ohcr course,
