THE CAMPAIGN IN THE STATE.

The ways OF metropolitan politicians are past
nnding out even by a Committee OF Seventy; but IL
we're diilcult matter to prevent corps OF HERALD
reporters, on business bent from discovering the
way In which party political machinery works
ana runs. Impressed with due sense OF the I'M
portance OF the impending election. and desirous Of
enllghtenng its readers as to the anodus 0perdndt
Of ward, assembly and senatorial rulers,
Just before election, bevy OF nquisiiive
busy bees swarmed out Of the marble building
~ the corner OF Broadway and Ann street yesrer-
day, and, wnging their way through the didcrent
districts Of the city, buzzed about and gathered the
honey Of knowledge fr0m every gaping politician.
They were quite successful. The articles that
follow may be considered . proper guide
FOR the voters OF the city; and the state

biguous language, for very obvious reasons, VIII

note the preparations being made for the great poll
acal contest in each senatorial district; the ways
she wnerefores and the what nots, and to describe
the scenes i'll the various club rooms In tho city.
How faithfully they discharged their ariuons duties

past It has not been justly or nty represented In
any Of the councils Of the State. There have been
representatives from this district smart enough In
their own way, but wholly incompetent to c0mpre-
lend or appreciate the really immense interests
which they were called upon to repre- sent, or de-
lend, or forward as the case be. This district
embraces the First. second, Third Fourth and
Sixth Assembly districts, and having, therefore,
