ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 3. 1875.
Mnch trouble IA imminent here on the political
cnessboard. The calm OF to-day has been avaiied
of by the politicians in their rooms at the hotels
TO caucus aud compare notes. The clouds hover
over the fight between Tammany Hail and the
country members, and the latter assume very
threatening attitude tonight l have oeen IN
conversation with several OF them and ascertained
some important facts as to their probable future
action. singular move has turned up to-day on
the political chessboard as regards the alleged
course OF rammany Hall in holding caucus
There is no doubt the movement has caused con-
| siderable
pIsAPFRCTION THROUGHOUT rHE STATE.
An advance guard OF two or three In the Tam
many interest has arrived. These gentlemen
have emphatically denied that there has been
caucus at all, and proclaim that no binding action
whatever was taken py the Tammany members
regarding the Speaker, Clerk and United
States senator. So thorough and wholesome
denial has taken the country members by
surprise. They do not believe 1t. Many OF them
told me tonight in speaking Of the proposition
sent, calling for withdrawal Of the caucus action
of Tammany Hall, that a response was given posi-
lively refusing to accede the demand. The posi-
ton Of Tammany, taxing this view OF the case is
therefore peculiar.
THE STORY OF THE SECRET VACCINATION.
II no action had been taken then there was no
necessity for o refusal TO recede but here is the
story as narrated to me tonight by several gen.
tlemen from the interior of the State:-Two meet
ings OF the Tammany members OF the Assembly
were held not one caucus, but two. The first
was rather informal At this gathering the choice
for Speaker and United States Senator was an.
nounced a. Mcguire and Herman. The Clerkship
was laid over LOT a week. At the next meeting
regular chairman was appointed, Mr.. James
SHIP. 1t Is claimed on the part OF Tammany
Hall that no pleoge was given or resolution
az a caucus. But then the country interest as
serts that an informal vote taken. each member
his as ss
forth by Tammany men as sheer humbug. '-Why,"
said prominent member OF the interior to me at
the Deavan tonight, III we are to be snacked in
this manner by Tammany Hall IL viii ruin
us with our constituents Many Of us have
been elected from republican districts, and we
must be exceedingly careful OF our regulations.
The people OF the interior feel this dictation
keenly."
| A threat Is made by many that unless the action
Of Tammsny aan y rsscnded they WIN refuse to
