politicians who hold Office under the city State and
United States governments and who have not resigned
their places are debarred by the constitution from
becoming candidates for either branch Of the Legsla
ture has had the effect Of bringing to the surface
A most OBSCURE MEN
in many Of the Districts several of whom, doubtless
for want OF better material will have TO be
taken up and sent TO Albany TO make laws
The impression somehow at this early date seems
prevail among democrats generally that If the SYRIA
cuse Convention makes no serious bunder in the canal
question and takes a decided stand against the rag
money platform OF the Ohio democracy, the demo
Gratis will without much trouble succeed In electing
majority Of the members of tho Assembly but IL is
known that the republicans will strain every nerve
from end Of the State 70 the other TO retain control
the Senate; as, If they lose it, the Governor being
democrat, the confirming power of that body would, by
throwing out large number of republicans holding good
election working places, be very damaging TO repub-
hcan prospects IN the State in 70 IL is with full
knowledge Of this determination of the republicans that
the Talnmany democrats IN this city will make
every effort TO secure the live Senators for tins county
In the Fourth district il John Fox should be The cand
date-and the general opinion Ia that he will get the
Tammany nominaon-John Morrissey will be sure TO
against him. and there will be lively campaign of
IT, with sure defeat for Morrssey. AS the district has
always been Tammany Assemblyman I. j. Campbell,
who has served seven terms IN the Legislature ana IS
considered the best paramentaran in the House next
to Governor Avord, is also candidate and Is certain
10 get the support Of his own district twenty ivc
votes, in the Senatorial Convention. Nicholas Muller,
who was placed at the head Of the General Committee
OF the First district when was reorganizcd year
ago, and when the Fox party were laid
the shelf, and who member OF
the Legislature last winter also aspircs for the place,
and is making lively canvass 10 secure the prize.
Somehow there seems to have grown up in some parts
of the district great deal Of bad feeling against Fox,
which some OF the well posted politicians believe would
injure him seriously a candidate and many contend
that his friends only talk about him candidate, so
that the last moment exJudge Hogan may step
compromise between all hands IL the matter Of the
nomination should be let 10 the senatorial district
without any hints from headquarters and Muller and
Campbell and Fox an, and Hogan should o,, one
BILE that other party not yet mentioned in
the canvass will finally be placed in the field with the
full appreciation of Mr. John Kelly. Some of the Tam
many contend that MOrrissey will not run in the
district If Fox is not nominated, but that whoever is
nominated may possibly be opposed by James Hayes,
backed by Morrissey The, chances however, are ten
to one that Fox will run. In the Fifth Senatorial
district the only Senatorial district of the city repre-
scented by republican Senator II is settled that senator
Booth will be again the candidate Of the republicans
The district is very close one, Booth is very popular,
and, in return Tor the way he worked for Comptroller
Green in the Senate, will get all the support from nm
and his anti Tammany' friends that he can control
This added to the heavy Ninth republican y ans
sixteenth wards which lie in the district,
will give the democrats hard days work TO elect their
man. IL is conceded in the district by all the leading
democrats that first class man must be nominated
against Booth; and the general opinion now seems to
be that Sidney P. Nichols gentleman well known
the district will be the nominee. In the Sixth Sena-
torial district Asscinbyman James Daily seems to have
INSIDE TRACK.
Assemblyman Waehner Is also candidate; but his
course at Albany last winter certain bills does not
have PLEASED everybody in the district and it is
not likely tnHt ne VIII get the LUIS
probable that there will be fierce faction struggle
in the seventh district 1t will be remem-
bered that Ledwth carried it two years ago,
but very beng squeched by the
peculiar system Of arithmetic adopted by exSherif
OBrens friends ut some OF the polls 1t is understood
that the anti-Tammany party will put Ledwith's old
opponent in the field James Everard the contractor
Tammany proposes to let him try his mette against
James ;. Thayer who, IN the opinion OF most demo-
Gratis will carry everything by storm. IL Senator
Moore should the Eighth district and he in
siss that he is not candidate he will have the naming
OF his successor and he is Assembyman NJ Sullivan,
who defeated Harry Genet and Crazy for the Assembly
from the Twent first district in the triangular fight in
1873 The republicans IN thcisric are all at sea as 10
their candidate and as they have considerable trouble on
their hands in lighting the Ilw faction IL may be that,
there will be in the end Two republican candidates in
the field In this connection il may be well TO state
republicans in this city talk very confidently of
their party's securing good working majority OF the
country Senators Tney claim that they will capture
the democratic districts now represented by Jarvis
Lord johnson and Ianing, on account of the Canal
Ring rumpus, and that'they will hold all the districts
they have now. They.appear, however, to have some
msgvings TO the Saratoga district, where Senator
Wagner who is the candidate of the Central Railroad Is
being pushed by the company; assembly man George
splendid for his district in the Legislature is also
candidate for tho nomination and has secured the dele
CATION IRON his county, and has, it is said strong
chance of securing majority of the Convention. The
leeling democrats, the other hand believe that by
good work they will carry the Senate by handsome
majority. Indeed, member of the State Central Com
the interior yesterday said that he fully
believed that the Senate andtf Use would be carried
Aldermanic contest Will as o. matter, be very
lively one, and there will be 81, Ii

Kelly certainly will be- In the upper Senatorial dis
trct Mr. Mccarthy and Mr.. Blessing ON the democratic
side will be returned and Mr. Purroy will be put the

all favorable to him, but he has done well by his
that leaders considered should be done the Board
has fortified him in Mr. Kely's eyes who will insist
upon his nomination IL may be that the republican IN
this district Slmonson will have hard road 10 travel
II he gets renomlnated, as ms course on the
Croton Main ordinance viii, II Is believed,
will be to all the other republican members of the
Board. One OF them, Mr. Morris, has heretofore been
named by the Fifteenth ward although he resides the
sixteenth. Ex-firc Commissioner Van Cott who live
in the Fifteenth wants to be nominated in the district
and he pledged the vote vi his delegation Mr..
Morris Will have to try and get place on the lat large
ticket il he wants to run at all
FIRE INSURANCE COMPANIES,
who have been camorng for the passage OF the Croon
Man ordinance blame hin more than any other repuD
can repeated defeats of the ordinance and will,
said throw all their influence against HIM. II this
be so, the likelihood of Mr. Morris becoming of the
republicans who must gel the largest vote on the
republican ticket to get elected is very small one Mr..
Billings republican, will probably place the
lat large ticket Mr Vance will not so II is sad allow
his name to be used as candidate Mr. Lewis Will
be rcnominated by Tammany the sat largen ticket,

he cannot very well be refused denomination, in view
OF the exciting contest that certain the

and-out Tammany man; but his relations with County
Clerk Walsh, whO despite his dcnias, is looked upon
rs enemy in disguise by some of the Tammanyitcs,
may 60 great way, few sorcheads think toward his
losing denomination. Still, his services wilt be of
need IN the Senatorial fight and as he voted all right,
finally in the Committee on Organization on the qucs-
ton OF reorganizing Morrssey's district he will tide

DIFFICULTIES OF THE SITUATION,
as Mr. Kelly has full confidence in him.
