PROBABLE CANDIDATES ON THE TAMMANY TICKET
TIE OPPOSITION HOPING TO FORM CoMBINA-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF voTERs-rHE FIRST
DAY OF REGISTRATION.
The contest for nominations on the Tam
many County and Judiciary tickets and in the various
sonate Assembly Adermanc and Civil Justice Districts
continues with undated vigor Several Of the minor
ssprants have been weeded out however For District
Attorney the only candidates remaining are Frederick A
smythe and Peter b. Oney The friends OF each claim
70 confident that their will he nominated; but
the chances probably in favor OF Mr. Oney who has
been an earnest Rcformer. He is q law partner Of
Attorney General Barlow. 1t has been understood that
the one who fails 10 receive the nomination for
Distret-Attorney will be given that for Recorder.
This would make Mr. Smythe the Recorder. Many
leading Tammany men, however hold that Re
corder Backctt is entitled to renonina ion, and
that would be bad policy to drop man who has won
reputation for the rigid enforcement of law against the
worst classes in the city.
For Surrogate, the person most strongly supported
is ID. c. Calvin. His friends assert that it is sets
tied that he is to receive the nomination. although
Gen. NJ. T. Mcmahon and Civil Justice Alfred T.
Ackert are still named for It, So is Judge Spencer
who probably has strength than either. Mr.
Redned is also still in the field, though with
diminished hopes among his friends For City Judge
exJudge James c. Spencer is less talked of, his
efforts being transferred 10 the surrogate's office
