suaded to furnish the Press advance copies OF II

Legislature. Your correspondent is informed on |

from the opinions oppressed by Mr.. Peter b. swceny
In his recent interview with the reporter OF an OBJ
scute PRINT In your city. He, OF course, rejoccs AZ
the recent triumph OF the Democracy, and urges on
homes, and economical Administration. He makes
few suggestions TO the best course TO be pursued
with respect 70 New York city. lie has something
to say about aboiishing the Commissions, the repeal

River on hrc.
TuE POLITICAL SITUATION.
For tie first time In seventeen years the
Democracy hold full sway over the dostines OF TIE
Empire State. They seem to appreciate their good
fortune, and urc anxious TO leave nothing undone
that might tend TO pepetuate their power. But they
are far from being harmonious or united. BLACK
clouds are already gathering, and storm Oh
and uncxp, cted fury almost inevitable. Ihe app'e
OF dscord is the greedy and unsuitable appetite oi
Tammapy Hall for the most powerful and lucrative
onhccs II Is fight between the country Democracy
and the New York Ring" The feelings which the
former entertain for the latter arc those OF intense
jealousy Il not bitter hatred. OF course, Is not 10
their interest or policy for the rural Democracy TO
express their sentiments openly and with frank can
dor; but conndrntialiy and n secret they make no
atemrt dissmulaon lhe en,es ol n
To accomIlish gu object they will stoop to Tho
vest means. Thi. cannot be better Illustrated 'hah

HIrcHhAN TO SPEAKER
The struggle s nearly ended and the re Is no douh
oi ths election OF VIM. Hitchman Speaker on tn
hrst ballot, unless indeed some Unforeseen even
should prevent mean time. This result has bceI
reached iy the buying and promising process In

Never IN the history OF q speakersbip contest ha
any ponlcal organization resortcd to such infamou
corruption to accomplish their object as hay,
