THE DEMOCRATIC SLATE INTACT
A. predicted, by the operations OF the confer
ence OF country members this morning the slate
remained intact at the democratic caucus TO-
night thus the agony on this point is over. and
the threatened split IN the party, in consequence
OF Tammany's alleged dlctation Is settled ior the
present. Whether 1t Will break out again IN
later stage OF the session remains TO De deter
mined The following resolution, submitted IN the
moi ming caucus, was passed without dissenting
v0te:-
THE RIGHT OF DEMOCRATS TO NETT AND CONFER
Resolved That while we recognize the rlsnt OF deno
Gratis from localities TO meet and confer As 20 .neL ac
Assembly 10 hold any caucus previous % that which
shall be regularly and formally called tor sse pa5pSse e.
acers the Assembly and other officers to be eeesa Sy
and unusual action calculated to advance the interest OF
any candidate
have 1t from the best authorityithat this resou-
sion was drawn up by Tammany Hail man, and
thus the sugar-coated pill was swallowed readily
by our country friends. The conference lasted
about half an hour, and was decidedly tame in
every respect
TAMMANY's VICTORY.
Tammany has outgeneralled, outnanked and put
to flight the country maneuvres. The truth u.s.
the rural delegations had no one to lead them
no brain power behind their operations Inc
strategy from the start was weak.
THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
There IS nothing particular TO notice relative to
the republican caucus. OF course 1t was merely
matter Of form. Husteds complimentary nomi-
nation for the Speakersnip and Johnson's for the
Cerkship sent those gentlemen home satisfied
with what they had received in view OF their
minority position.
When the contest actually comes for United
States senator there will, no doubt. be chance
for the republican members to exercise their in
genuity
NEW CANDIDATES FOR SENATOR.
Tonight we have Two new candidates whispered
a. In the race for Senator-ex-GOvernor John T.
Holman and General Elijah ward. 1t Is under
stood that the latter gentleman will not run coun-
ter to the chances Of Francis Herman or henry q.
Murphy. II they are out OF the race, and COM
promise candidate Is desirable then 1t is UNDER
stood the General will accept the Senatorial man
tie.
LIQUOR MEN ON HAND.
Marx LAnngan, Aaron Hersberg and Harry

OF committee from the Liquor Dealers State
Organization. A bill is about to be introduced
into the Legislature SO as to equalize the excise
changes and the state Committee will arrive in

COMPTROLLER GREEN'S HENcHMRN
There are two men here now understood to De

Green They are watching every opportunity
that may arise to SOW dissensOn In the democratic
ranks IN the hope OF controlling legislation tor the
benefit OF their employer. They are smart, shrewd
operators and know the routine Of legislative

have sinecures under Green. They win bear due
