RECoRDERsHIP
Since the adoption d the name Of Mr. John X. Hack
ett for Recorder by thu Peoples Combination bets
freely offered at argeodds the OF this gen
tleman. The bitter attack made upon Mr.. Hackett by
John Kelly at the Tantmany Convention has materially
strengthened his candidacy instead Of weakening It,
The bad taste exhibited by the "Boss' in attacking
man before convention where there no chance OF
reply has been freeycommented upon and condemned
during the week amoIg all classes of the community
These iimsy charges we're ably answered by Mr.. Ira
Schafer at the Anti -Tanmany Convention Wednes-
day evening BY theway the gathering one OF tho
most respectable and best attended political conven
tons held in this city lor number OF years There
were nearly l. 200 delegates present An attempt has
been made by member of Tammany Hall TO decry its
influence but the busypodes count without their host
deep-seated and bitter feeling rankles in the breasts
of the independent voters against the lone man"
power which will max, itself felt with telling force

counsels OF the Anti Tanmany Convention. 1t the
main consideration which induced the delegates to voto
sodly Tor the nomination Of John X. Hackett as
Recorder.

The united nomination Of Mr.. Benjamin X. Phelps

Tammany parties, has also given general satisfaction
All the attempts made to inure tho official character of
Mr. Phelps by legislative investigating committees and
otherwise have proved entirely futile. They have by
their evident political bias defeated their own object
and proved that the Of Mr. Phelps in his conduct
Of the Office Of District Attorney has been unsullied
He is universally known throughout the city and 10 as
popular as he Is efficient
