The regular machines and the outside skrnshers manage
somehow 70 keep matters well stirred up and 70 great

One OF the moet interesting features Of the local POLITICAL

10 three or four Cisy judges. We are unable 10 say
whether s he considers that II win iake that
number be equal 70 Judge hcCunn or for other
reason
Several OF the city papers announced last week thai
Governor Seymour had ondered the appointment John
H. Anthon Eco This report understand, comes d.
rect from Mr. Anhon himself and Is based upon remark
said 10 have been made by him. that during the late
for the State election Governor Seymour stated TO
him (Anthon) that II Judge McCunn elected to the
Superior Court he woud appoint him 10 the vacant
City Judgeshp In corroboraton Of this fact s the singular
circumstance that Of the friends Of Anthon and
especially official appointed by Governor Seymour
who been very active in trying 70 break the machine,
opposed all scratching Judge McCuun day and
al the time worked against Garvn all they could,
who 10 known be favorite OF the Governor. These

Tammany and Mozart Hall will unitedy present the
Of Samuel Jones for that position Should that be the
case, which, from present appearances, admits Of
no doubt, II may make little difference both
with Mr.. Anthem and al others who imagine
they have the Inside track. There numerous 70.
ports from Albany that the Governor has decided TO
aid In smashing the regular machines here. II this is
the case, the presentation OF Samuel jones' nAme BY
Tammany and Mozart together will bring direct issue

that was successful unite In urging the appointment or
Mr. Jones win place the Governor in awkward posi-

the surface considerable or dirty linen before

asprants better bear mind that Judge NcCunn has
not resigned yet, nor is there anything In tho
law requiring him to do so. 1t 10 true that

there is interesting time ahead for the democracy
One OF the most important and believe the most
