The party politicians are holding their "prmaries'
for the election Of delegates to the various conyen
ions charged with the nomination for certain Of the
judicial Offices members Of the State Senate and As
S"mbly Supervisors Of the County. &C. tho election
for which will como of in November: whereas the
choice Of Mayor Aldermen, Councmen, &r., rs city
officials. will not be made till December.

the perncious weed myself and therefore do not pre-

positive sickness which the narcotic fumes lcacd in
my stomach during the few minutes fmy stay in the
disgusting hole am forced to conclude that the sup
Fly on this occasion did cost the runners of the
machine in the Fourth District much!
Now do you understand me to be intimating that
the Republicans are in this respect than the
Democrats? Not so. They would seem to be all alike
guilty If tried by the standard up cn the occasion
referred to- But must be frank enough to say that
never before witnessed the like in n Republican
primary even iii this corrupt city and hope never
to do again. What most surprised me was the lpc
that there was but ticket rum and consequently
no contest and temptation to resort such corrupt
ing and degrading appliance as the beer keg.
The Irtt@:e is urging the nomination in this city
and throughout the State, Of AssembIymcu disposed
