CITY POLITiC s.


Candidates.
yhe host OF candidates that are In the cello for the
numerous olces to be nlled In the coming elections
are gathering all their strength for the nal struggle
In few days more the great Tammsny chief win be
at his post ana is necessary that the various can
didates be able to show strong cards Tor the favor
and consideration OF the TammanY slatemaker. lie
has a tremendous Job hand, many conflicting
elements TO harmon onize and clashing interests 70
settle. The German element in particular is In
state Of disturbance that threatens to give the
managers considerable trouble, and 1t will require
all their to restore that great voting power to
perfsct working order. The Germans demand more
ofces than have hitherto in the distribution OF the
spoils fallen TO their share, and to support their
demand they are organizing in the various wards
and districts and preparing in the most approved
JS;i.IcaI fashion for the coming contest.
This little political event, however, does not rune
the equapimity OF the ring. The Germans only
want offices, and these Will be provided for them.
Tammany leaders were never more anxious than
they are at this moment for the unanimous and
hearty support OF the democracy of this city. All
their efforts viii be directed 10 securing the election
OF their own special nominees to the Senate and
Assembly, with view OF preparing the way, ac-
cordng TO their policy, for the great Presidential
campaign OF 1872. The Senatorial slate Is already
but they must only grin and bear 1t. But mater
bow disappointed unsuccessful candidates may be
with the Senatorial and Assembly slates they must,
after ALL continue their allegiance, and give their
support 10 the ruling powers for outside OF the pale
OF Tammany there Is no salvation Tor inditldua or
party OF a democratic stripe.
