will do his bidding. But much serious TO the Demo
cratic interests than this is the large secession that la,
actually taken place from the party ranks It Is not an
! insignificant body OF Democrats who headed by Gen
slocum, have declared that. while supporting Tlden and
Robinson they Will srenuously oppose any Ring ticket
that may be put into the field by Hugh McLaughlno, O,
his followers On Tuesday evening last at meeting o,
the Republican General Committee OF the county tho
question OF uniting with the socum Organz,-
tioD in preparing local ticket was discussed, and
resolution to form such coalition adopted
by large majority. Gen. socum stated TO a!TRBuSs
reporter that he did doubt that such combination
would be made The ticket presented would be made up
both OF Democrats and Republicans and he conf.
dent it would be elected. There probability, hs
added that any other Republican ticket would be put
forward. prominent Republican said that the combl
nation ticket would be for the most part composed OF
Republicans giving to the incoming element enough OF
representation to prevent its assuming positively par
tsan appearance and yet not large number Of ths
nominations drive away Republican votes. In the
Aldermanc districts where the Democrats had usually
had large maories, It proposed to put both Demo.
Gratis and Republicans in the field against the regular
Mclaughlin nominees, and it hoped that in this way
the Democratic vote would be sufficiently divided to
elect in each case the other of the combination
candidates. As It expected that both would be
good men It really matterei little which OF the
two shoud be successful In any district in
which theIe was an mdOubted Republican ma
jorlty only candidate would be named.
Thus while there is large Democratic majority, it
said the Republicans have every prospect Of electng

Among the citizens generally there not the strongest

is possible that he has his most influential days
Who are to be tie nominees on the Combination and
Democratic tickets stll certain extent matter Of
conjecture. The general opinion Of many Of the best in
formed politicians of both parties regarding some Of the
more important Offices is as follows:
Kings County is divided into three Congressional dis
trcts the Id, IIId and WITH The Id, which is con-
sldered the most important, has usually given large

late ARRAY with dentist named Young, whom lie Sc
riously wounded in encounter in pubc-house, has
forced his retirement from the field. The contest seems
at present be narrowing down 10 two candidates-
Mr Talmage who is pushed forward by the regular
Democracy, and Col Davis, the representative Of the
Reformers. Several conferences have been held be-
tween the Rcormers and the Ring At one OF these, on
Thursday evening It insisted upon by the reform
element that Col Davis Should receive the nomina-
tion. Unless the Reformers are entirely ignored.
Col Davis will obtain it. BY long persistent and con-
sisent efforts in behalf Of reform he has called to bis
support all those who have been in any degree dsats
fed with the past management OF the Democratic party
