Mr.. Laurence E. o'Bryan has Withdrawn from candi-
dacy for the Assembly in the Sixteenth district and

the District Committee They say:-"wthin the let

ANTI-TAMMANY READY.

The evening before election at the republican and
anti -TammaDy democratic headquarters was not as
brisk might have been expected For various rea-
sons the hustle OF the previous nights of the cam
pagn's close had subsided. The members Of the Gen.
tral Committee absent most Of them having
to their respective districts to superntcnd the final
rangements therein for successful termination of the
contest and TO that the captains having charge
of the partys immediate interest in each locality were
at their posts nstructng their subordnates the du-
ties required of them to-day. The real work of the
several central bodies had been completed far 1t
could have been and the plans for election day having
been developed In committee, nothing remained but to
see that they were thoroughly understood by
tho leaders in every district In whose
hands they had been placed previous TO
yesterday Therefore the special interest hither.
to manifested at the Fifth Avenue Hotel the Everett
Rooms and the Knickerbocker Cottage, whittier tho
Eleventh Assembly district headquarters formerly
located at Republican Hall, have been moved, had
abated.
At the Republican State Committee rooms the utmost
quetude prevailed. Only the Hon. Mr.. Decker
Dwight, Lawrence and few lesser lights in
that sphere present discussing the prob
abilities Of the contest and answering questions
on matters of routine to applicants from election dis
trcts. Mr. Cornell was IN the committee room for
short time during the day but the other members were
conspcuously absent BY those gentlemen present the
chances OF Recorder Hacket and his antagonist were
freely commented on, and II was the unanimous opinion
that those of the former far better than those Of the
latter Mr. Lawrence said that lie felt confident from
close observation that Recorder Hacket would get the
republican vote as sodly Mr. Phelps and that II the
Recorder received many democratic ballots As would
be cast for him by the republicans his election
was certain This view concurred in by the other
gentlemen present At all events bis prospects from
republican standpoint last evening deemed
bright and nothing remained but for every honest ct

VoTEs CANNOT BE STOLEN.

Citizens who have duly registered cannot lose their
votes by their names having been used previous TO
their arrival at the polls by spurious and fraudulent
voters. In such the honest voter should insist
upon deposting his VOTE and the inspectors are
obliged by law to receive it. though if he is unknown
TO them they may require him TO be identified. This
will produce excess of ballots in the boxes and the
law provides that after and before any ballots
are opened number equal the shall be blndy
drawn from the box and destroyed without being
opened Every voter should insist on depositing his
vote, though some scoundrel may have used his name
