THE POLITICAL SITUATION
The bitter wrangling OF the past week. eliminating
In yesterdays base at Irving Hail. among the gentle
men who undertake TO lead the anti-Tammany hosts,

nownsd leaders, The groups which blocked the side

upon these political giantA Their bread and butter
was at stake. Fumes OF smoke and bad whiskey per-

WHAT SxxrY
The question here naturally arises What will be the
next adroit movement OF these political athlelcss
O'Bren evidently holds tho call in anti-Tammany.
Mr. John Kelly and his cohorts nervously their
oars watching the movements OF the enemy. The ad-
journnent OF Tammany until Thursday next argues
that the leaders think II advisable to delay their nomi
nations long as possible in order 10 their
little time for organization But three weeks from
Tuesday the elections take place. hc republicans

warrant DINER conclusion than that the gentleman
has positively made up his mind TO be candidate.
Whether tha: csndidacy will continue until election
