mo time for parley between those whom
the people look to Tor deliverancs from the
evil days that have, through the malfeas-
ance OF some public officials, fallen upon the
hitherto great Tammany party OF the city. 1t is the
1pcertude as to what the action Of the faithful few
also holding high places In the city government Will
be that creates most uneasness. The HERALD's
plan of reconstructlng Tammany is admitted as the
only one that can be successfully attempted. It is
not looked upon as an expediency TO bridge over
present difficulties, but as positive necessity
demanded by the avalanche OF late events, and
which, II not accepted at ouce, may, alter
all, fail to save even remnant OF the
party from total overthrow. Expectation is on tip

and the Great Mogul OF the ultra administration
party of the city is endeavorlng to ambush him or
draw bead line upon him. The Postmaster is a
good administration man; but his ONCE is not
one where the drones OF political lie can hive,
move or have their being None but the working
bees can find nest there, ana consequently
changes of officials are few and far between.
Honest Tom thinks he could run the
Post Office in the interest of himself first
