NEW YoRx. New. 10, 1871.
The election in New York was
surprise to everybody. John Nor
risey, who could have carried his
own district easily enough, felt
meved to beard Tammany in its
den, and deliberately went over in.
to Boss Kelley's own district, and
gave battle there. 1t was . very
curious fight. The Seventh Dis
trict is the most intensely respect
able in the city. 1t embraces MUIR
ray Hill, and holds within its limits
everything there is that 10 wealthy |
and aristocratic in the city. The |
Democracy nominated one Of their
most respectable men, Augustus
Schell, and spent money like water.
Tammany felt the necessity Of beat
ing this bsld man, for If he could
defy its power any one else could,
and then where would Tammany
be? Morrisssy was sick from the
beginning, and the few speeches
that he made were made ut the risk
of his life. The most Of the time
he was in bed, but he had trusty
adherents, and his orders were
faithfully carried out. Well, the
election is over, and John Morris
sey, the gambler and law-breaker,
goes back to the Senate of the State
of New York from the richest, most
sristocratic and law observing dis
trict in the city. 1t was q curious
sight to see such men rs Hamilton
Fish, Peter Cooper and Thurlow
Weed, walk up to the polls and cast
their ballots for John Morrissey,
and without any attempt at conceal.
ment. There is good reason for it.
Every New Yorker who pays taxes
feels that there is nothing to be
that is so dangerous as Tsmmany,
,, and that whatever strikes blow al
Tammany is the thing to do. In
,, this case John Morrissey was thu
only way to cripple Tammany, ant
