AROUND THE CITY HALL.

a0eeaed for good rest after the exerti0ns OF the
p6st few days was evidently seized upon by The
politicians OF all classes. Theyr appeared at anu
aFound the departments yesterday In good condi-
uOn md fresh to enC6unter the cases Of ofce hold
ine and once :eo6kfng. They congregated In the
haiiways and corridors as usual, and talked and
sneksd and chatted about the work ana workers
lnthe late campaign. The OLD CITY Hall was more
seaghs yesterday than 1t had been m some time past
saowtng thus the turn In pubic favor. Where Q
week or two ago the crowds focEed 10 the new
C0ufs House or 10 the Department OF Parks Works
they Hooked yesterday to the old City Hall and to
the rooms occupied by ex-SheniY O'Brlen, looking
upon him now as The rising democratic leader IN the
Affairs OF the city and county. Numbers or the new.
" elected Aldermen and Assistant Aldermen, as well
as those whose adherence to tho anttTam many
ticket in the late contest had won them places or
promises Of places were OH hand IN good number,
discussing the merits OF the SITUATION. One genrle
man who Is known as "rammany' republican
spoke very confidently and said he "knew" the
COnklingites had tried to make srs.s M
AN ARRANGEMENT WITH TWEED,
to the eject that II he would give what he controls
IN tho Legislature to the support OF Conkllng for
United States Senator there would be no attelnps
made to contest his seat or throw hun out. He
thought, also. that there would he serious division
In the republican ranks, und that Hank Smith would
have little to say about how things went IN Albany
tnlS WINTER. Another thought thai the republicans
would net care to do anything with the democrats
this year. ns they had votes enough in both branches
Of the Legislature to carry through any measure anI
that tney would make a sweeping reform,
