The OFFICES AND THE CANDIDATES.
The political party fight which has so generally
exercised the leaders OF the two recognized demo-
cratic organizations of the city, their adherents and
allies, has been very considerable restricted dur
Ing the past week. That party, from all appear
ances, is likely to form united front in the CAM
paign and, with their allies OF the liberal republi-
can party and the Foleyite soreheads to present
solid phalanx, not only against further encroach-
ments upon the stroagholds OF democratic patron
age in this city, but to enable it to wrest rom the
administration republicans some Of the vantage
ground which they gained when Tammany was for

and arrangements which divided the democracy

nation which a week ago was more devoutly
wished than hoped for. The outsiders-the Bashi-

may fall into their hands, will for once have to
mingle in the rank and file to save themselves
from perpetual political ostracism. The Tammany
sages are willing to bury the hatchet and
to smoke the calumet OF peace with
the young Kickapoo warriors Of Apollo Hall, and
these juvenile braves, discovering in good time
that this mutinous abandonment Of the wigwams
Of their tribe was only calculated to aid IN the ex
tirpation OF the ancient race, have In late pow

to draw up the bill Of fare, which is to satisfy the
political maws of the prodigals. When
