democratic inside and outside organizations.

next senate as he has done for several years past
Mr. Tweed last year was elected TO the Senate by q
ma Crity OF 10ooa giving very strong illustration
OF the popularity or the Tammany candidate Ia
TINT district and the concentration Of the Tammany
power there through the working OF tho different
ward organizations.
The only named opponent TO Mr. Tweed Is tic
ex-Paraguayan Minister General Mcmahon, who
found go much trouble In getting out of President
Lopez's dominlons. Of the lines Of

lions enough within short time to do man for an
ordinary lifetime. George Francis Train is also
named as a candidate. but. as he cannot possibly
bring tho Sorcss Interest to bear on that beniphted
district, The irrepressble George won't have the
CHEST OF a chance.

In the Fifth dstrict-Sanator Norton's-tnere
Is a most exciting contest going on. The district
eompTises several wards, and each ward has can
