Thus viii conclude short and vigorous campaign.
Usually have least three o. prepara
ton before election day after the nominees Of all par
ties placed before the people for their sur
frages but this year the Tammany, anti Tammany and
republican forces did not complete their tickets until
few days ago The result has been extremely sharp
and vigorous campaign both sides There are really
only two parties this contest under the absolute
leadership of Mr. John Kelly in Tammany Hail. and
the other composed Of the peoples combination party
organized BY tho large Of Independent and
the honest working classes, headed by Recorder
John K. Hackett and District Attorney Ben
jamin X. Phelps Such coalition
the latter, backed by the support OF an
Independent press, fostered by enthusiastic public
opinion its ranks sweled by the Indignation Of thou
sands ofworkngmen and by desertons daily from the
camp Of the enemy, must positively win the battle
next Tuesday.
rAMaLASY's TRICKS
Ceaseless efforts have been made during the past
week by Tammany Hall to turn tile tide surely and
suddenly threatening to swamp that organization.
Meetings have been held nightly all the wards Of the
city; speakers tnearly all Of whom Office hoders)
have been engaged by the hundred and the force Of
oratory brought to bear upon the citadel in which
public Indignation is entrenched There is dsguis
ing the fact that those efforts have done some
good the cause OF Tammany. The speakers, in the
main pandered TO the lower instincts OF their
hearers They introduced religious topics, bringing
forward a pamphlet issued by the Republican Con-
gressona Committee in Washington, in which state
ment was made that the Catholics engaged in a
crusade against the free schools Of the country and
tried saddle The burden Of this attack upon the peo
pies party OF this city because republicans
the ticket But they forgot mention the fact that
republicans hold places in the city government
\ by and with the consent Of Tammany Hail. SO this
vulgar appeal religious prejudces by The paid orators
OF Tammany will be very likely to have little effect
The sober second thought OF the democratic voter Will
bring him back to consider to the safest
side on which 70 his ballot An intelligent
examination Of the issues win show him that the fight
4 is between ''Ringn dictatorship under Mr.. John
Kelly and a free city government under the untram-
melled direction or the people themselves. Know
Nothing proscrpve ideas cannot be dragged into the
canvass The history or the Know Nothing party
\ proves that democrats and republicans alike were
equally responsible for its monstrous doctrines. An
attempt to resurrcct this longbured corpse will only
tend further destroy the political ghouls Of Tam
many who nightly during the past week have beloved
over those long forgotten subjects.
