isprobabo that the opposition elements to Tam
many will agree tho Astor House to-day upon
ticket Leading anti -rammanyiies and members OF
the German and Independent Citizens organizations
engaged in caucus yesterday at the Filth Avenue
Hotel in discussing the political situation The
chances OF union with the republicans have been
entirely dispellcd. and II is now proposed by those
parties place class ticket in the deld and let
the Custom House and Post ONCE wings take of
themselves Shrewd politicians differ materially AS
the probabilities Of for this ticket 1t is
ceded upon all sides that Smith Ely Jr, is exceed
ingy strong candidate for Mayor, but the balance OF
the Tammany ticket does not by any means with
universal approval The outside factions are there
fore very anxious TO combine upon reputable ticket,
that tho people may have chance OF deciding their
preferences as 10 tho best when they 60 to the
ballot box on election day.
The large increase the registry also given hope
to the outsiders For some timc past they argued
upon probable vote in Tits city Of l4j 0oo Cacua
tions were made upon this basis alone. Now, when
the total registry ioos up TO 1s3000 politicians
suddenly awake TO the fact that will probably nave
about 100 900 votes tho TIN OF November in
ton is generally fifteen per cent higher than
the number OF votes poicd Tammany op-
positionisis now claim that tho increase means
much in their interests that these l5,c0O or
q, 600 additional ballots will bc cast in nvor OF
their candidates II unexceptionabic names are placed
upon the ticket Ii seems To be settled that Mr. Green
10 be nominated for Mayor by this coalition, and
Alderman Jacob Hess prominent republican. Tor
County Clerk Sanguinc advocates OF the proposed
ticket calculated follows last night, in view the
registry figures announced in yesterdays papers,
VOTES FOR THE INDEPENDENT COMBINATION TICKET.
Germans. ........ ..................... 2OOO0
Independent democrats. $4,000
'o'VVV
Tammany ticket. 90, 900
Straight republican ticket. 25,U00
This estimate, OF course, may be considered
coming from very enthusiastic class OF our local
statesmen, but they formed their arguments upon the
supposition that this year for independent voting
and tnat tho masses will cnccually separate LOCAL ro
State and national issues. Tammany men scout this
estimate as prepos.erous lhey contend that Their
n whiriwnd, running smoothly along with the Presi-
Dental nominee. Their estimate stands about as
follows, as against an opposition combnation:-
dammany oouv0
oPposuon. ao,0o0
Stralgnt republican,. 3o,OOO
Total vote cast. ast.................... l60 900
It will thus DO how,widely apart these gentle
men seem 10 be In their ngures, and the returns ON
election night can alone settle this important issue.
In Presidential year It is considered safe 10 prcdc.
absolute success for Tammany Hall. This time how
cver some Can be found who are not entirely confident
Of such result
To-DAY's MOVEMENTS.
Tho Conference Committees OF the Germans anti
Tammnny and Independent Ctizcns' parties assemble
Al the Astor House at eleven O'Clock this morning.
Their session il likely TO last through the day
discussions will probably arise In the selection Of
didates. II satisfactory arrangement is made all
around, then the anti-Tammany and German County
Conventions will probably be called together tomor-
evening in order to ratiy the action Of their Con-
ference Committees
DIVISION IN ANTI-TAMMANY.
This afternoon tho County Convention Is to be
vened TO make nomn nations and complete it's ticket
decided opposition exists in many OF tho Assembly
districts tC Andrew II. Green, and somc OF the other
nominations are equally Objectionable. Tho action OF
the Conference Committee has been dilatory and their
final report IS not nkcy 10 meet with general favor.
The rank and file have have lost confidence IN success
and suspect some conspiracy TO ure the national and
State tickets II Is reported reliable authority
many of the delegates from Assembly districts viii
cast their votes for Smith Ely for Mayor. II this u
formation Is correct II will seriously impair the pros
poets of the anti Tam many party.
