against 1ammany caucus d1ctaJon has grown
somewhat IN strength during the past twenty
four hours. One or two Tammany representatives
however. declare whole
movement a farce, that there is nothing IN 1t and
Is merely SIDE show TO cause diversion from the

dacy for the cerkshlp. He Is spoken OF very
highly by AL parties; but II the slate Is fixed AS
announced, Mr.. Calklns must be the Winning man.

straw, showing which way the wind blows. Kings

THE UNITED STATES SENAToRsHIP,
matters tonight bear o similar aspect to that
teIegraphed by me yesterday, with the exception
OF Mr.. Seymour's candidacy.
Senator Parmenter said at the Deevan to-day
that he would In the caucus positively nominate
Horatio Seymour. His philosophy Is that the office
must seek The man. not the man the office. Mr..
Seymour Is the most desirable candidate and best
fitted for the duties, and II the party require his
services, Notwithstanding his defamation, he must
come to the 'front.'. These views are significant,

ton of Judge Miller to the Court OF Appeals, Mr..
jeremiah Mcguire, the prospective Speaker Of the

this evening IN view VI the appointment OF CON-
mittees.
Mr. Mcguire asserts that he will not make a
pledge on any consideration. he looks upon the
caucus meeting tomorrow night as an lll-advised
and needless measure. IL is not the time, just on
the eve OF renewed entrance into power OF the
democratic party TO negotiate a split IN It's legis-
lallve ranks.
