HERALD representative was informed by sew
eral OF the members alter the session that there
would be no address put forth at present to the
party. The issues are all sharp and well defined
and the TamInany quarrels were believed TO be
fatal to the success OF the rival party. The repu-
datiOn schemes of the democrats in the West, 1t
was said can by no possibility be accepted by the
sound money democrats OF the East, and the split
on this question alOns Is regarded as serious and
damaging to their cause IL is cOntended that the
strength OF the administration will be increased
by the nominations to be maze by the republicans
at Utica next September, and that the new ap-
porionment up the Hudson River will insure
three new members OF Congress, without
losing either the districts of Orange and

some of the lost districts. Westchester
Is now separate district, as well as Albany, and
there will be fight to elect republican Congress-
men there. AS United States Senator Is to be
elected next January, the nominations for Assem-.
bly, Will be looked to with especial regard for the
fitness OF the men and their fidelity to republican
interests. The city or New York Will be battle
ground, and the fight for the MayOralty with its
immense city patronage and power, in view OF
the Presidential election in 1875 will probably be
OF unprecedented heat and vigor.
The quarreS OF Tammany, it is believed, Will
fatally defeat their desires to regain their lost
power in this city,
The ''third termn question was not touched
upon, It's discussion being considered at least
premature.
