greatest interest by the whole democratic body OF
the city, OF whatever organization or stripe, as the
starting point In the present campaign. Concilia-

escape of the party. WHOLE from further defeat
and the surrender Of the city government into the
hands Of the Custom House Ring. The rule or ruin

which prevailed. Tammany's concession and base

informal nomination of candidates only being sub
