SIXTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT.
this district two years ago, during the reform
with Tammanyism out OF existence. In reality,
however, the district Is at heart democratic, and
and good man IS run on the democratic ticket he
is sure to win. The German vote controls the dis

to be more lively than usual. Old Mr.. Weismann,

all times.
EIGHTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT
This district the very largest in the city. has as
yet not developed its real purposethat is neither
party mas yet openly exposed its plans. Harry
Genet is still, under cover power in the district,
and they do say tnat he has had more say in the
Tor the district than all the Tammany and Apollo
Hall men combined. even though Tanmany refused
preferring rather to class him among the old Tam.
many men than among the new. william Haw, Jr.,
Is again on the surface for the senatorship
on the republican side, and on the demo-
cratic side the names OF Hiram Calkins and
Crary, one OF the members OF Assembly last year
from the district We mentioned Calkins, 50 far,
seems to have the inside track. 1t is said that
John Kelly has endeavored to GET Charles UConOr

everything is SO unsettled as yet as to the AS

The republicans so far have not yet appar-
emily, awakened to the lact that there is to be
city and county election next November as well
as an election for state Officers, nothing definite
can be said as to who their candidates Tor the va
rious local Offices will be. or course between now
and the meeting OF the different city and county con-
ventons the opinions oil the democratic politicians
may change considerably, and the above prob
able slate be very different from what 1t
now appears Indeed tls Is very prob
able contingency, for, after the Convention
adjourned at Utica last week, Governor seymour
and Francis Herman, In a talk with John Kelly,
advised tina only the strongest and best men In
every way s1ould be put in the field by Tammany
for local ofi1ces This advice, coming from the
source IL did, VIII undoubtedly have full weight
with the Tammany leaders, and so even the know
ing ones may be prepared at any moment to
witness total change OF names for every oflce
between now and the meeting OF the Convention.
