The Political Fie.d-Fight for the spoils-Tam-
many in the Ascendant-The Assembly Ticket
the Rock Ahead Candidates for Vacancies
in the Judiciary, Senate and s.embly.
The political campaign inaugurated this fall must
be cassed one OF those contests that 60 'by de-
fault, IN legal parance. There Ii no putting In OF
appearance except on one side; all the Others are
backwards in coming forwards. The old worship
pers OF Tammany, Notwithstanding the oesecraiion
OF the temple, are worshlppen still, and the high
priests and sachems wlsklnsks and sagam0res are
just as potential to-day as . Tldenle brave had
never crossed their warpath and threatened utter
destruction to the Wigwam. The Tidenite Ia, after
all, but poor warrior and he is just a. weak ana
foolish council as he IS In the field OF political
strife. Under him the

skedaddling back to New York. Il,o -arorm move
ment was great failure at the state Cons.ntion
and is not likely to prove success on tho potiea
boards during the present election. The great cry OF
corruption and fraud that was raised against Tam
many, resuscitaied from the unknown recesses
wnere they had been SO long shaking on their NOR
tai coils few choice spirits OF the oldcn time to
help on the assault against Tammany. However
honest and sincere these ancient leaders might have
been themselves, they soon discovered that
the great bulk OF the would-be reform
ers were expectant offce.h0lders. and only
anxious 10 walk into the shoes OF the men they
were cIamorng against as office holders These
leaders detected the fraud that was attempted
10 be practised upon them, and, declining to be
made the catspaw to secure the chestnuts for
these hungry reiormcrs they have quietly retired to
the obscurity nom which they so lately emerged So
the ref0rmers just now in the same predicament
they were in last year and the year beforewithout
recognized leaders Of any ability, their motives too
well known 10 enlist sympathy or support
from the people aud represented SO far as
they asked for representation, by the sefconsttuted
leaders-Ledwlth, O'br,eD, Ben Wood, &C. There
is sort OF scattering fight maintained fog the
spells in those districts where combination Of the
Custom House republicans with the Ben Wood and
Ledwith Ieformers offers the slightest chance OF de-
feat1ng TamInany man. But this IN fact is all
the reformers can achieve There is not the slight
est chance OF success even here. TIE
