THE COUNTY CLERKsHIp TICKET.
Here also the Tammany candidate appears to be
the iavorite. II the Apollo Hall detection did any
good whatever IL seems TO have done 1t nth malice
and for the good Of the very party It sought TO
ignore Mr.. William Walsh and Mr. Patterson are

Captolsn Enough that they do not give his oppo-
nents an opportunity to use them against him, and
that be considered proof OF faithful services in
the past and an assurance OF honest services in
the future Mr.. Patterson the republican candi-
date a very worthy man, Is new, however, before
the people, ne never having held any prominent
position in city politics.
The very best argument that could perhaps, be
advanced by Tammany in support OF it's democratic

may be seen in Its ticket OF candidates for the
Lawrence and Charles Donohue-constitute ticket
that would go great way to sustain any party,
while they themselves could win upon whatever
ticket they are placed should they choose to run
outside OF party lines. Mr.. Lawrence's splendid
canvass Tor the Mayoralty last year and the popu-
larity he then show ed he possessed brings him
into tho front rank OF the public men OF the day,
though still young one. His election is assured,

In the Fifth and Seventh the fight goes bravely on
between the candidates.
In the Eighth district change is noticeable.
Alderman McCanerty Is steadily going to the 'front.'
The Mooreites are waverng IN their allegiance,
fearing that in trpartite nght-such as RACES IN
the district-the republican candidate, Plnckney,
may slip in. McCafferty has endeared himself to
his constituency up there by his efforts to reduce
the assessments and his 1ght thereon with the
powers that control the city nnances at the pres
ent day.
THK ASSEMBLY TIcKET.
In noticing the candidacy in the First Assembly
district in previous article. IT was errOneously,
and by inadvertence, stated that Mr.. Daniel P.
Kennedy had withdrawn In favor OF Colonel Burns.
Mr.. Kennedy, on the contrary, contemplates vic
tory on the 4th OF November next.
In the Fourteenth district Mr.. James DAILY has
got the rammany and Apollo Hall nomination and
bids fair to give his republican and German oppo-
nent hard tussle for 1t.
FOR CoRoNERs
The Tammany ticket Is conceded TO be the
strongest that could be made. Mr.. Richard Croker
heads 1t, and that is almost in itself guarantee
OF its success, independent of the popularity and
qualifications for the Oflce OF Mr. Henry Woltman
aud Mr.. Eickhof.
AS before stated, the prospects now are that the
whole Tammany ticket VIII be elected on Tuesday
next. The Democratic Shibboleth now Is, "Tam-
many in the fight, right or wrong" The speeches
at the ratification meeting the other night and the
letters of Ii e-long democrats ike Seymour, Rlair
Herman and others, pledgng their devotion to
Tammany and the withdrawal from the Apollo
Hall organization of Creamer, Courtney and Wood
has had the effect OF dispelling the clouds OF preju
dice and personal antipathy which tor time
rested upon the ticket and upon the cause. 1t Is
felt tnat the alliance OF Apollo Hall with the Gus
tom House republicans involves not only defeat
but political dshonor which conscientious dem
ocrats cannot and will not submit to for the sake
OF few disappointed leaders IL is at all events,
certain that the Tammany stock is up, and the
betting UPON the candidates upon its ticket has
Jumped far ahead oil anything that Is offered on
their opponents.
