New York Politics.
CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-Political interest
now centers on New York ; on the per-
sonal quarrel between Thurlow Weed and
Raymond and the Albany Democratic
Regency. Raymond charges that the
Democratic leaders have shown bad faith
toward the Philadelphia platform. and that
they have repudiated it. The World and
Ne,o, tell Raymond that they don't want
him or his platform. Raymond ~rejoins
that it was a fxed-up matter among the
Democratic leaders three months ago, and
virtually confesses that he has been swim
died. The mantle Of Dean Richmond, he
says, has fallen on John Morrissy. The
Time, says Hoffman was nominated BY

as they promised to do upon the platform
marked out, have now made q bold push
for power on their own account, and that
they will not and ought not to succeed.
