JOHN MogRIssEY AND THE TAxNASY NORMA
noN.-The Tammany Rump Convention Of the
Fifth Congressional District has nominated Mr..
John Morrisscy for Congress by a vote Of nearly
four to one. We are glad to see that Mr.. Nor
rissey acted upon the suggestion Of the HraALD
and insisted upon an open, above board en-
dorsemcnt He was the main instrument In
the nomination Of John Hoffman. He has paid
his money like man, az he always does, for
the election Of John Hoffman and the other
candidates OF tho ring" There was no reason
why John Hoffman and his friends should hcsi-
tate about openly endorsing John Morrissey. II
was foolish Of the corporation ring to resort
to any Of the usual practices OF the prize ring
in q set-to with such man ~ Morrissey. They
might have known that at "feinting" and
"dodging,r and getting away and slipping
down. they are no match for an old bruiser
who has worn The belt a. long a. John Nor
rissey, and that they would have to throw up
the cspr in the end. However, John Morrsscy
should not stop here. he should insist upon
few speeches from John Hoffman In support
Of his claim TO congressional bonors He
stumpsd Albany and Saratoga for John Hof-
nan, and John Hoffman, In return, csnno, do
less than stump the Firth Congressional District
for him. Although the Tammany Runp have
riven John horrissey handsome endorsement,

Major General Thomas J. Wood, the Assist.
ant Commissioner Of the Freejmen's Bureau

Of tho crops in that State which must naturally

OF the people, both black and white, in the
approaching winter. General Woods dcclara-
ton ia that the grain crop Of Mississippi "has
