CITY PoLITIC .

cratic Union Party and the County Omces.
This the third week Of the political campaign in this
city, opens under suspicious horoscope the Tam
many party. 1t hoped that ere this the chiefs Of
hs ring which claim 70 control ;hs party and 10 run the
machine would have been able apply some erectual
political smollsnt or caiapasm TO heal the wounds
under which the party iabors and keeps the heads Of the
various factions from combining for unity OF action
This has not been DONE and the strife contest for the
spos runs As high and bids fair 70 be Dubvssivs OF
shs whole party as at any time and little more So
The principal wire pullsr are being exercised
10 an extent that presages their complete exhaas-
tlon and 70 leave ihem without the ghost OF policy
or party upon which or by which TO form
slate for the campaign. This nomination to county
Offices is, however bu, secondary consideration with
the chiefs Their whole energies and diplomacy are cen.
tired in aud directed towards successful issue of the
December election The factions that contend for the
spols in November would be left severely alone to fight
and exhaust themselves until perhaps, like the Klken-
ny cats nothing would be left but the tails. and
tell the tale but for this other impending and inevitable
conflict This must be met these factions conciliated
and then consolidation the ranks subordinate TO the
chefs effected But BOW TO accomplish this the eng

City Hail Lunch Club The factions are powerful In
ihemseves, and headed by mon who are stronger
out Of Tammany Than the chiefs are in Tammany. And
