One effect Of the maneuverng which has been gong Oh
Is that both parties have nominated most excellent men
far the principa Offices Smith Ely jr, the Iaminaly
Han candidate is probably the best man in Its ranks
whom Tammany Hall could possibly have named Tor the
nostion His record shows him 10 have been stanch
oppOnen OF the Tweed Ring and in his hands the people
may safely trust the proper conduct OF It's muhcipa
affairs He is in no sense representative OF John Kelly
or of Tammany Hail. His nomination was really forced
unon that leader and that organization by the evident
necessity which existed for putting forward only inc
very best man the position. Gen DIX can prooaDy
po larger Republican vote for Mayor than any person
whom the convention could have nominated In TINS
county in So he poed the total Republican vote OF
56OOO and with the full support OF the re
Dublicans this time, Mr.. Ely's majority over
him can hardly be more than 10000 BON
the candidates for Surrogate are able men,
aud both popular Mr. Calvin may run behind the vote
for Mr. Ely to extent, but his election Is probaDy
assured Between William H. Gedney the Republican,
and Bernard Reilly, the Tammany candidate Tor sheliI
voters who desire an able Sheriff will unquestionaby
east their votes for william H. Gedney. Thomas Murphy
the Republican candidate for County Clerk, is man
very popular in his organization, and Will undoubtedly
poll very large Republican vote. Henry A. Gumbleton
the Tammany candidate, Will probably be cut by Inc
working class as they have lately attributed to nm the
credit for the reduction of the pay of the woknSncn
on the public works to the paid by private con
tractors Mr. GumbeOn is by far the best candidate MS
marty has put forward FOR years for similar POSITION
and in view Of what might have been his nomination
one on which honest citizens may congratulate 'heih
selves and thank the better elements of Tanmany
Tammany's nominees for CorOners are the worst part
of its county ticket Richard Croker has qualification
whatever for the place he is ignorant, brutal polti-
cal Thug and his reputation in every way Is such as 10
repel honest men from supporting him. Henry NolC-
man is popular among the Germans, and VIII pol ueh
larger vote than he deserves. Richard Flanagan is IN
the same sense popular with the Irish element, and his
strength in the Tammany organization was shown by
the fact that he was nominated in spite OF every effort
on the part Of Mr.. Kelly 10 prevent It, The three
Republican candidates for COroncrs are uneXcep0nabe
men as far known.
The Republicans nominated Lewis 6. Goebel for Judge
OF the Marine Court against James snnott the Tam
many candidate but Mr. Goebel has declined the nomi-

THE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS.
New-York County elects seven Congressman
this wear The following are the nominations thus far
put forward:
District. Repi'6lran. De'nq2erott,e;
VIA. J. II. Duganne. 5. :: Cox.,,,..,r
VII. W dilacc p Gro m. ANNOY fltSAOh

In the With District it is not probable that the Rcpub
cans Will nominate a candidate. The Ant-Iamnauy or
ganization bias nominated Michael C. Murphy, Who is
strongly back by John MOrrisscy and others as can
didate against Muller The contest be made very
close QUE and perhaps the sharpest ght in any Of the
seven Congressional districts viii be had in On, WITH
Eugene NJ Earle has been spoken of prominently as q
Republican candidate but it is unlikely That he will give
his assent effort has been made 10 induce Edward
Hogan 10 run as a stump" candidate Hogan very
nearly defeated the regular Tamnauy candidate two
years ago. the lattcrs majority being only l75 in dis
trict polling 900 votes.
Mrfox in the With District. viii have TO difficulty In
Increasing MS majority Of 10000 by which he was
elected two years ago The district carved out If
hopeessy Democratic. y. j. H. Duganue is the hcpuD
Hcan candidate against him.
The very worst possible nominations have been made
by both the Republicans and Democrats in the With
Congressional District, formerly smith Elys With a
good Republican nominee the district which j. dcba
able ground, might have besu carried against Echhoh
who is entirely incompetent for the position Of Con
gresham. But the nomination Of Wallace T. Groom by
the Republicans virtually comedies the district to the
Democrats.
In the Win District, Gen. Arson G. McCook will
make sharp night against Elijah Ward, the Tamnany
candidate and there ought to he little doubt Of his sue
cess Mr.. Wand carried Tie district two years ago by
only sSl majority IN total vote OF over 10000. The
district is naturally Republican. Gen McCOok IS
young Of great energy and possesses many Of the
qualifications requisite in representative III Congress
He did gallant during the as colonel OF the
% Ohio Volunteers. and breyeted brgadicT-sen-
eral al the end for merOrous services He IS
very popular not only III his organization, but IN
the entire district he is known. Mr. Ward is one
of the best nominations the Democrats have put for
ward and with Mr.. Hewitt the nominee III the KIN Dis
trct redeems in some measure the very bad character
of the Democratic Congressional nominations.
In the IXh District Fernando Wood, the present Tam
many incumbent, is opposed by George W. Da Cunha.
MI Wood has had a lease the district for years
past carrying in 1874 by 2,3Oo majority over an indie
pendent candidate.
In the Xth District Mr. Hewitt Democrat, is opposed
BY Hamiin BabcOck. The district went Democratic two
years ago for Mr. Hewitt by l420.
In the XIth District B. AWilis the present incumbent
is opposed by Levi p Morton The district originally
carved out be Republican. willis carried 1t by acct
dent years against Isaac H. Bailey, very I'M
popular candidate. Mr. Morton, the banker, VIII I'M
quesOnaby this majority and carry the district
by a handsome majority.
STATE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.
The With Senatorial District this year elects
are Frederic W. Seward. Republican, and Alfred wag-
staff IT, Democrat The district is strongly Republican,
and with candidates Of the character OF those named
ought 10 be safe Sc ward Mr. Wagstaf is active
and popular bur Mr. Seward will probably be elected by
the usual Republican majority Of over 1000
