The great event In municipal politics Is the with

Aldermen. Apart from the superficial contest Tor

renders all hope OF a popular foothoid IN the city
and that the reform dodge Will no longer serve
upon Albany and the chances OF divided demo-

On this point the veteran hadn't much to say.
Mr.. Kelly's task with Tammany Is no slnecure you

up to him IN one shape or another, "Can you hold
your men together ~ the strain in this regard

been concentrated all the city patronage by the
recent act OF the Legislature. There Is swarm
OF candidates Tor the ONCE and there is no telling
at this stage what Brennan, Loew, hayes, McCooi,
