IL u safe now TO say tnat the war OF the factions
Is ut an end. The asperY OF feeling which charac.
terizcd the democratic city members Senators ana
politicians last week has almost entirely vanished
II any remain Is is only with about two Insignificant
members OF the Assembly. Tue difficulties between
the dissatisfied Senators ana members are smoothed
over. This happy result Is due to the action OF
Lieutenant Governor Beach and ctte democratic
senators ana members from the country. They s0w
that the Aghs must end some time, that the party
and IFS successes must go to smast and they think
that this Is just the time to bury tns hacct aud take
up the calumet OF peace The basis OF conciliatiOn
and union ~ stiIi under consideration, but
the precise rertns are not yet settled. That
any statement more positive than this II re-
liable have the bes: authority for denying. Some
concessions In the election OF Supervisors the cleo
ton OF Aldermen and probably q sweeping change
IN the Police Commission are part Of the m0difica-
tons IN the new charter, which are now IN The YET
unsctted plan that IL 10 bring the leaders and fol-
lowers or the democratic party together. But the
storm rs past. and no bitterness remains behind.
we may therefore soon look for good bill for tue
reorganizaton or the city OF New York that Will be
generally acceptable.
One thing seems to be conceded--that Hon. John
FOX - an right for sheriff b0th parties being satis
Iied that as James oBrien cannot be reelected The
Hon. John is about the best man for tue place. his
ambition was in that direction.
