Tweed.
There were various rUmors current this
evening to the effect that Tweed had re-
signed as Head of the Public Parks Depart
ment, and also that he had left for Europe.
There appears to be no foundation for
either. On The contrary, there is good aIl-
tho-ity for the statement that Tweed has
no intention of resigning.
Measures will be taken by the Reform
Committee to arrest those accused of viola
ting the election laws, engaged in false can
vass of votes, and who refused admittance
to the polling booths of the watchers ap-
pointed by the committee.

There is a general feeling of demoraliza-
ton among the defeated Tammanyites.
Many of them confident of their election,
were surprised at the result of the election.
As general thing, they spent largely of
their means. 1t is said some few of them
are wholly bankrupt.
Last evening Tammany Hall was de-
serted The enthusiasm of the members
who could be found at the club rooms
throughout the city seemed to have de-
parted. The reformers believe that Rosa
would have defeated Tweed had he been
able to be at the polls. Thieves and row.
dies had control of the district, which &C
counts for the result of the election. The
election is to be contested.
The great victory of reform was the prin-
cipal topic to-day IN al circles throughout
the city. At the City Hall where flags were
displayed in honor of the result, the politi-
clans in the pay of Tammany seemed be-
wildered. On the door of the Mayors office
large placard in blazing letters was posted,
bearing the following: "The Downfall of
Tammany Hall"
O'COnOr for President.
Leading Democrats of the State and city
are beginning to talk about nominating
Chas. C'Conora as the Democratic candidate
Tor the next President.
