whom they openly opposed, as Register, and
Richard B. Connolly, whom they secretly tried
10 defeat, a. Comptroller, and in the oonfirma-
ton Of George ". Mclean, an anti-Tammany
democrat, as Street Commissioner, have taken
everybody by surprise and created quite .
panic in the old wigwam. The Mayor became
80 alarmed at finding the city departments
dropping one by one into the hands of men
taken from the ranks Of the Miles O'Reilly
democracy, that he proposed to sell the
tumble-down hall and all the old tomahawks
and scalps, and to go, into new qQertegrss,
where the rottenness Of the organization
might be concealed by new paint and feathers.
But the sachems overruled him, and he is now
making an effort to inveigle the new city
officers and the leaders Of the Miles O'Reilly
democracy back into the Tammany ranks.
They very wisely refuse to return and
announce their determination to repudiate
hereafter the candidates Of any State conven-
ton that may recognize 1.-The regularity Of
Tammany, thus compelling the democracy, II
they desire success hereafter, to reorganize
their party, from the foundation up.

will never succeed in regaining power in the
nation. The first thing necessary, however, in
order to accomplish this result is to commence
with the local organization in this city by
taking up and electing Mike Connolly for
Mayor in 1867. Judge Mike Is rollicking,
jovial fellow, and will make an excellent
Mayor. He will have nothing to do but show
his Rne manly person to all visitors and shake
them By the hand. These are the functions Of
the Office, and the Judge can perform them in
much more easy and courteous manner than
they are performed by Hoffman. The cleo
ton of Mike Connolly for Mayor will establish
the already victorious Miles O'Reilly demo-
crscy on an unassailable basis. Il will be
necessary, Of course, to look beyond the local
election and to make preparations for the
Presidential campaign, and they should there.
