candidates quarreling over the prize
which to my mind must thereby fall
into the hands Of the Democrats.
The contentious existing in the
legislative districts about equalize

Joint ballot, will probably stand IS
Republicans and 5 Democrats, A
gain Of one Democratic Congress
man seems certain, while SO far as
the candidates for city Offices are
concerned, the war that Isl being
waged between the Cassidy-Ludlow
factions will result in a severe loss
| to the Democrats and consequently o
corresponding gain to the Republi-
cans. The Municipal Reformers, as u
i distinct organization exists only in
the imagination Of a dozen antiquat-
cd gentleman who now and then go
! through the farce Of issuing an adj
dress. This year, contrary to all
former precedents, they have made
no nominations. All they have done
has been to enumerite Man(n's)
vices, and ask their fellow reformers
if they will elect him to sixth term
