Just Before the Battle.
The usual hustle and excitement at
| tending the eve of the political battle
was prevalent here to-day. Candidates
! for Office were industriously working for
| personal purpose. Politicians were Civ
| ing instructions to their followers, and
/ pamphlets setting forth the claims of
| the nominees are scattered broadcast
[ throughout the city. James O'Brien has
an enthusiastic troupe in every ward,
and feels confident Of his election to the
| MayorRlty, and hopes for over twenty
I thousand majority. Many OF his adj
| herents claim that he has been promised
a large Republican vote. Large sums Of
money are reported 10 be distributed in
/ his name among the laboring men in
uptown wards. The enthusiasm for
/ O'Brien in the East Side has Occasioned
a report that a preconcerted attack will
be made upon the Hayemeyer boxes to-
morrow. A rumor was in circulation to-
/ day that Havemeyer had withdrawn,
and it was the theme of universal re-
mark, but proved entirely unfounded.
Tammany Hall is crowded with poll

I for Lawrence. Its ehallengers have
been instructed TO keep close watch up
on the ranks Of O'Brien, as it is reported

on a large scale. In betting O'Brien Is
I the fayOrite, with Havemeyer close on
7 his heels, and Lawrence far behind.

cite little interest, but the struggle for

renounced Tammany, are unwilling 10
/ vote for Dix. RumOr says that Herman
I tickets will be run out Of all Apollo ball

/ is nearly two 10 one on Dix. "a asT
