A REVIEW or TIE TAMMANY CANDIDATES.
AN OUTBREAK AMONG THE sAoHEMs.

The Tammany County Convention having
met and given its official Endorsement 10 the political
slate made up by Sweeny Tweed and Connolly, their
indefatigube henchnen are at work preparing the
machinery Of the various Election Districts for action on
Tuesday next That there is trouble in the camp Is
apparent from the action OF tile Convention in
issuing pronuncamento ordering the decapitation
of any candidate accepting any Endorsement from
other Democratic organizations Political wiseacres

and Tweed trying to pour oil on the troubled waters
but the elements OF the Democracy seem yet disturbed
aud angry. The avOwed determination OF the Ring
to have the Police Commission increased and the term OF
office Of City Controller extended three years, so as to
deprive Brennan OF the appointment Of Canvassers,
and to place beyond his reach the lucrative position
which Connolly now holds and Brennan cOvets has

be bitter and relentless Sweeny, to make treaties OF
