straighten things out and leave the field open to
single handed combat in each one between one
democrat and one republican. II these efforts are

be with one or two prominent democrats In Albany,
who in the opinion OF the rank and 1le are acting
rather suspiclously. So 1t will be seen that Apollo
and Tammany tactics have not been lost upon even
Albany, which learns slowly, but when 1t does
learn learns well.
