The Democratic Union party OF the Eighteenth

The New York herald., 1873-10-26

In the 1nlTu Assembly ulsbrICb Jules adye5 Is
the Tammauy candidate, and he is the best known
and perhaps the most popular politician in his dts
trict.
There is considerable feeling in the Fourth Sena-
torial district against the Tammany nominee, John
Fox. This arises from the fact that his influence
was thrown, 1t is said against General
Thomas Francis Bourke, the Fenian exile who was
imprisoned Tor five years In England owing to hts
efforts liberate his native land from despotIsm.
General Bourke was q candidate Tor Coroner, and
his prospects were good until they were smashed
by Kelly and Fox In order to give place
to other candidates. On Friday night Nor
gan Jones aud Thomas Conan made a
desperate light to have General Bourke nominated
for one of the Coronersnips but it seems that Kelly
and Fox had some adherents even In Apollo Hall,
and Bourke was slaughtered. Now, 1t is said, the
straight-out Irish vote In the Fourth senatorial
district will be cast for Morgan JONES' who had en-.
deavored to get Bourke nominated. In this dis
trlct the Celtic vote Is excessively in the majority
and Morgan Jones stands well with the old resi-
dents. The influence ol James Hayes and Timothy
Campbell will also be thrown against Fox for SEN
ator, and altogether the conflict promises to be
lively one, with the balance leaning towards Jones,
who il backed by bowling, the police and the peo-
pie who believe that Brennan should have no rep
rcsentation In district in which he has not lived
Tor years.
