MER'S CRUSADE.
The determined action taken by the antl-Tam
many democrats at their caucus at Delmonico's
on Tuesday night was the chief topic of discussion
In political circles yesterday. The Tammany
leaders affect to believe that the movement will
amount to nothing; that even IL 1t was backed up
py tne leading democrats in every Assembly dis
trict IL 10 now too late in the day for any ndepend
ens party TO organize effectively before election
day. However, despite the seeming indifference
OF the chiefs, the ward ire-puers did not to
feel very comfortable yesterday over the new turn
anairs have taken; and few who are not any too
faithful to the present re0ime, 1t was evident by
the way they tried to avoid committing them
selves when spoken to on the subject, Will quietly
bide their time and declare in favor OF the opposl
ton, once they have become convinced that there

many, however, among the rank and file who
express themselves ready to vote for any demo-
Graf OF responsibility who will consent to run on
an Independent ticket for Mayor, and who makes
no bones about letting everybody know JUST what
their sentiments are. There does not seem to be
any feeling at all against Mr.. Wickham among the
non-professional politicians who call themselves
democrats. but they say that what they are
against Is

They contend that they will not submit to dfcta-
ton from man like Mr.. Morrissey and that II Mr..
Kelly had boldly resisted Morrissey's presump.
tuous demands at the outset the respectable por-
ton OF the party would be united to-day, without
any danger of a disastrous defeat. The republi-
cans are delighted over the course the antt-Tam.

their power to encourage the bolters-short, pos

as to what is best to be done at the County Con-
