and Tammany's Action. .s#
Now tnat the regular, as well as The go
called irregular, par-les in the, city have all
placed their county candidates in the field, the
local poiticians are gong TO work with re-
doubled energy in the various districts The
ticket OF the republicans 10 conceded to be
strong one by the republicans; but the Tammany
people assert that while the nomination
OI Wales VIII command the full repup-
ican vote 1t will not derive any strength
from democratic quarters. They do NOT seem,
however, to relish the Endorsement OF the nomi-
nation OF General Jones for Register by the Re-
publican Convention. and some OF them already
80 so far. even while predicting that Wickham
will oe elected by 10000 majority at the very low
est estimate, as to concede the Generals election
over James Hayes. II was believed by many on

provided George Van Mort was not considered to
be that man BY Mr.. Murphy ana his fellow men,

the slightest notion OF Withdrawing at all the

nation or MT. Wales he doubtless saw
man quite as Objectionable to the Comp
ir0ller as any man the republicans could
possibly have selected. Mr.. Ottendorler is, at
any rate, IN dead earnest now, and his German
trends are working like beavers in his behalf and
his supporters, German and Others contend tnat
he will get a handsome majority over both Wales
ana Wicxham They say that the refusal OF the
Republicans 10 indorse him has created wide

IN the CITY. and whO while voting for Otrendorfer
instead OF Wa es, VIII resent what they consider
gross insult on the part OF the Republican Conven-
tIon by supporting the democratic State ticket
On the other hand the republicans seem TO have
the utmost confidence In the final triumph OF their
ticket They believe that Wales' well known
contempt for Green, which he gave such good
last June In bis letter resgnIng the position Park
commissioners, will be OF immense service to MN,
IN that 1t will rally to his support hundreds OF
democrats who Will vote for MIN simply TO express
the high estimation IN which they hold the Comp.
troller. However, there are republicans who do
not put much latth in this, and believe that,
as rule. the democrats viii vote for either
wickham or Ottendorfer simply because they
otSer issues may be involved na'esse ia the
campaign. The Dreamer democrats indy.
mean to work for Ottenaorier. and that they viii
cOnfine their efforts exclusively to supporting
General Jones for Register. The leaders say that
every district IS now thoroughly organized and
that every thing is working TO charm among

and that the liberal republicans are heart and
soul In the movement with them. Tammany's
troubles IN some Of tue Assembly districts they
believe viii do much toward increasing their vote.

the very TACT OF there being row between ward

WAS plain sailing. In this connection IL may be
stated that the proclamation OF the Tammany
