POLITICAL GOSSIP.
The county ticket to DO placed in tho field by Tam
many Hall at the meeting yesterday was subject Of
great anxiety not ouIy democrats OF all factions
the republicans, who hoped TO profit by repetition
or last years. blunders and this time for thcm
selves tho bono OF contention. The members OF tho
An,iTammany party who rejected tho proposition or
a union are IN high glee at what they consider
very weak ticket IL Is claimed by them
that tho nomination OF Smith Ely, Jr, was maze for
no other purpose than to gain the approval OF the
press, that they think thcy have driven better
bargain by making him the head OF their ticket than
would have been give what they offered 10
anti rammany. On the other hand the friends OF
John Morrssey who favored tho acceptance OF Tam
manys offer for n union say that II only shows, what
they have all along asserted that nti-Tammany
owed her victory Of last fall not to her own
candidates by the press They say, also. that
the ticket put IN nomination by rammany Hall is
vndication OF tho charges made by OBrien's fac
ton that Morrissey trying to sell out the orgar
zation OBrlen's friends reticcnt about what
nominate straight county ticket, and with which
they hopo TO bring TO their aid the votes OF rcDub
cans. The light Tor congressman Aldermen and As

Already the sub. committees from the several
tons OF Tainmany and anti Tammany are hobnoDbing
with each other for union on district candidates In
the Eighth Congressional they have already united
Elijah Ward, and IN several Assembly districts peace
has been coacluded. The Tammany men seem willing
to unite with OBrcn's faction IN these district deals
they hope by this means 10 weaken any prospect OF
support to the anti iammany county ticket from tho
republicans. They say that II the antiTammnny
men unite with them candidates for Congress
for Aldermen and for Assembly that the republicans
will put in nomination county ticket OF their own
and insure the success Of their candidates District

Ter "A union with Tammany 10 one with tho rcpubi-
cans. The republicans will not be satisfied with this
arrangement as thcy fail the qu,d pro qno for
their support 10 the antTanmnny county ticket. Tho
Tammany men are Jublant over tho ticket they have
made, aud fell confident OF sweeping tho field with II
against any outside combinations
Judge Duly, who headed tho delegation from tho
First Assembly district in Iammany Hall yesterday,
said reporter that he considered tho ticket the
strongest that could possibly have been made The
nomination OF Smith Ely Jr, he said, would settle
among both the Germans and IRISH He considered the
anti rammany organ zation totally demoraized by his
nomination, as many respectable republicans would
prefer him TO Andrew Il. Green. Anti Iainmany, ho
said had lost her golden opportunity when she refused
Tammany's Offer. IL would have given hcr iecog-
milton as an organization and IRON the patronage
offered her she might have built strength enough TO
become balance of power in our local politics and
hold in check any indlscrcions that Tammany might
attempt The anti.lammany men that the Tam
many ticket has good head, but that 1t is not big
enough hide tho tall which Ia OF the same material
they put up last ia They say, too that, while tho
tail can't wag the dog. the dog has no cont rol
over the tail. John Graham Hyatt, ono

ncr. considers the lammany county ticket a
weak one, and that will fail OF its object satisfy
the prcss The papers, he says are stronger organi

strongest backing. The anti ammaEy party he says,
will certainly nominate straight ticket that will

iicul organizations Such ticket he thinks VIII leave
1ammany Hall far in the urch she was last fall
when she encountered the same enemy.
