disposition to keep Judge freedman on the Bench
where he has deservedy won an excellent reputation
for uprightness and capacity.
COURT or COMMON PLEAS
Tammany has also mado denomination In the Cour'
OF Common Pleas The candidate r. Loew haa
on the same principle that Recorder Hackett
claim the democracy which Tammany had no righi
10 ignore He has proved his capacity and fidelity and
ho Is in his political principles in accord with the dem
ocratIc party. Judge Loew is very popular, and with
his associates on the ticket he has right feel
moved at the stubbornness and sefwill which loaded
him down and made doubtful a result which would
otherwise have been certain
Mr. Benjamin +. Dunning the nominee OF the united
opposition for the Common Pleas s lawyer OF high
reputation and both in personal character from his
general qualifications Is calculated 70 make excellent
judge
THE ADDITIONAL CITY JUDGR
For the new City Judgeship, created by the law OF
last session. while candidate may have been placed in
the field who had proved his peculiar qualifications
for the position bot sides have made good nomina-
tions On the republican and antiTammany tickets
the popular name of Henry A. Gilderseevo has been
placed and the recollection of the credit done to the
nation by the achievements OF the American team in
Ireland and England will insure its transfer TO large
number OF ballots Mr.. Giderseeve is said 10 be as
competent TO m the position he seeks as he is to head
an American team in an International match and II he
well he shoots he win find himself ahead
the close OF the polls But his Tammany opponent
Judge G. Spencer is an antagonist not TO be despised
AS Judge of the Superior Court Judge Spencer has
played unusual qualifications for the Bench, and his
name will be strong before the people on any ticket
THE sURRoGATE's COURT.
1t seems yet doubtful who will be the nominee of the
republicans and anti -Tammany democrats for Surro
gate very strong feeling expressed yesterday in
pie of renominating approved judges by rendering the
candidacy 10 the present incumbent Mr. Van Schaick,
who was nominated last week, is reported to be re-
solved TO decline the nomination. On the Tammany
side fair nomination has been made in the person Of
ID. q. Calvin so far as qualifications concerned
The independent nominations for the Marine Court
and for Coroner better than those the Tammany
side For the Marine Court Mr.. James B. Sheridan and
MT MT Charles Goepp are the nominees, while Morris
Ellinger takes the field as candidate for Coroner.
THE LEGISLATIVE NOMINATIONS.
The nominations for the Senate and Assembly are yet
too incomplete to be commented on as whole The
main trouble appears to be In the Fourth ana lgnn
districts, so far Tammany Is concerned. In the
Fourth Senator John Fox forced down the throats
of the Convention by Mr. Kelly, and the First ward
almost open rebellion The attempt TO induce John
Morrssey to run as opposition candidate failed and
since then two propositions have been made-one to
put Charles 0Conor in the field, and the other to
nominate Colonel Roberts, the cx-Congressman But
effort is on foot to settle the quarrel
IN the First ward by inducing assembly;
thus smooth matters 1t is urged
that by this course the continuance Of Muller and his
friends the organization be secured and interests
endangered be protected. In the Eighth dis
trict there has been hitch in the Kelly programme
John Kelly demands the nomination of f. r. Wheeler
the son OF the former leader of the Know Nothing
party; but Senator Moore has made so strong fight
in the Convention that 1t has rebelled against Kelly
dictaton. In view OF this impudent attempt of the
district TO make its own nomination the Committee on
Discipline yesterday convened, and instructed to
weed out the refractory members and force obedience
TO Key's mandate II Is not yet known what the re-
suit will be.
JUSTICE COURTS.
The nominations of Tammany for the Civil Justices
courts are nearly all dsgraceful 10 the party These
courts, which very important to the poorer classes
have been used as spois to be distributed among
the worst class of ward political "rounders" in order
TO Ike capital in the districts to heal differences
Most of the nominations simply disgracefu, and
the opposition will be TO blame II they do not take ad-
vantage of the blunder rather the outrage commit
ted by Tammany in its selections.
THE RArIFICATIoNs
The Tammany General Committee as will be seen,
have fixed their ratification meetings and announced
their speakers They will be closely followed up by
the popular movement
