The Three County Tickets.
The political organizations in New York have
made their several nominations for the valu-
able county Offices TO be filed on the 5th OF
| November, and three tickets are in the field,
representing the republicans, the regular
democracy and tie irregular democracy. In
| this triangular contest the republicans have
shown more patriotic spirit than either OF
their antagonists, and have made choice OF
very fair candidates throughout. Their ju-
dietary ticket, headed by Francis J. Fithisn for
Judge Of the Supreme Court, is well selected,
aud they have put forward for the principal
county ofices-SherifY. Clerk and District Attor-
ney-three soldiers who fought and bled in the
field ; while on both the opposing tickets the
men OF the Union army have been totally ig-
nored. That the claims Of those who risked
ther lives in such crisis as the late war should
| be repudiated or neglected in this metropolis
is disgrace to . city that had larger stake
than any other in the preservation OF the
government; and yet II is well known that the
republican candidates stand no chance Of sue
cess, their strength being only about one-iourth
Of The full vote Of the city, and the unfortunate
position Of their party, as the advocates OF
negro supremacy and the supporters OF the
present arbitrary Excise and Sunday laws, rem
dering 1t impossible for them to secure any
support outside Of their own immediate po-
litical circle.
The contest lies, therefore, between the regu-
lar democracy, headed by James O'Bren, and
tho irregular. or boiling democracy, headed
by Michael Connolly. One or other Of these
tickets will probably be elected throughout,
with the exception of County Clerk, the Tam
many nominee for this Office Loew, being as
great an obstruction on the list as his hideous
iron bridge nuisance is on Broadway, and
sanding very little chance Of success any
way. mixed dish Of nominees, it is true,
has been cooked up by the deserving inde-
pendent organization known as the Union
democracy; but ~ the members of that body
seem unable to harmonic among themselves
even in relation to tho claims Of Michael Con-
molly, who has been in former battles one Of
their most valuable allies, It is not likely that
they will attempt to show any distinctive
strength in the November struggle.
The fight, being thus narrowed down between
two tickets, will present some curious and
interesting features, prominent among which
tons regarding the building up of large
moneyed interest centralizing in three or four
radical national banks, and designed to control
the political affairs Of the city OF New York. The
late correspondence between Peter Cooper, on
behalf Of the Citizens Assoc iation, and Cham
berlain Peter B. Sweeny, has disclosed the
fact that a sum amounting to nearly two hum
dred thousand dollars is annually placed by
the Tammany ring in the hands of two or three
banks, the principal one being the New York
Broadway Bank, whose president is one OF the
largest subscribers to the new radical organ
about to make is appearance in this city. This
sum is supposed to form q sort Of sinking
fund for the use Of the inside Tammany
ring, and to be set apart by them as
means Of perpetuating their own political
power. The people are determined TO
rcbuke this outrageous attempt to control the
politics of the city through an improper use Of
the public money and with the aid Of ring Of
radical banking institutions. The boiling
democrats, with Mike Connolly as their big
chief, are known to be the mortal enemies Of
Hoffman, who is the head and front OF the
political sinking fund clique and this fact
gives them nearly all the strength they have.
II the Tammany nominees, led by the energetic,
young, regular democrat, James O'Brien, desire
TO win. they also must disown oil connection
with this Hoffman and Sweeny radical bank
sinking fund conspiracy, and let it be known
that they are prepared to oppose Its concoctors
in the charter election next month. If they do
this their success Is certain. With the excep-
ton of the clumsy and unavailable County
Clerk their ticket il very good one, from
it and to see 1t elected, provided that the nomi-
nees will avow themselves In favor of . re
spectacle and straightforward citizen for the
next Mayor Of New York, such - John Kelly,
or John Anderson, or any other John except
John HOFFMAN, not even excepting John Nor
rissey, who has this advantage over Hoffman
that you know whore TO ind him, can rely
upon his word, and are certain that his bank h
not used IS political sinking fund depository
for the benefit Of radical organs and wornout
Tammany rings.
Mrs. Liscoia and the Partisan Press.
The partisan press ID exhibiting such con-
temptible meanness and baseness in the case OF
Mrs. Lincoln that every right thinking person
must feel disguised. She Is abused for doing
