field, aud the opposition will follow next week. The
tcaly agreed upon. The successful candidates wero
forcshadowcd In the HERALD for weeks before
tho Tammany Convention assembled, thai the poll
tcians and tho public were not surprised whom the
cut and dried slate out from the OF the
Committee on Organization on Thursday last. The
naming OF Frederick w. Loew for Register simply
means q recognition OF Charles K. Loew. II was
the old story OF Tanmany's tactics repeated
with dramatic accompaniment Eleven hundred and
twenty-eght delegates congrcgated at the Wigwam
for the purpose OF nominating candidates tor Register
judges and aldcrmen-at-large. But when over one
thousand OF these delegates arrived at the doors OF the
Fourteenth street building they found that tho work
had been done in advance. The mandate had gone
forth they bound TO swallow the ticket or walk
out of the Tammany organization. A whis-
per of dissent must have consigned any
one OF them to ignominous political DEATH
The master hand touched of the battery,
compelling all to dance around the Wigwam council
fro. II any capered through such dance one
single step out OF time with tho OF the s'Big
Chief" their scalps might soon dange at his bolt as
punishment for rebellion. II was generally under-
stood q few hours before the assembling OF the
Convention that Charles +. l.ocw would bc
nominated for Register The gentleman worked day
to this result But presto! at tho
last moment tho name OF his brother
Is substituted The wand of the enchantcr stretched
mys,eriously over the lbs delegates, nominating
Frederick W. Locw, who had never been mentioned
previously during the whole canvass. 1t is all In the
family, however, and grumblers must console them
selves with the dea that II Charles Z. has been do
featcd Frederick W. Carries Off the palm OF
victory. 1t is not far-fetched prophecy
that in OF tho election OF the latter
the former will have something TO say about the
ming OF the Registers Office Thero Is douot that
Mr.. Frederick W. Loew will make good official II
elected. He defeated for recollection by Judge Van
Hoesen, of the Common Pleas, two years ago. Then
combination WINS made against him and other Tam
many candidates precisely 1t is proposed make
combination OF outside forces this fall Mr.. Shepherd
F. Knapp would have made tho strongest and most
available candidate by far but the dctum went forth
and the 'boys" were compelled to obey.
ASrI-rAMMANY FIGURES
Since the nomination OF the Tammany county
Ticket the outside parties proposing TO combine
against the common cnomy claim 10 SEQ assured VIC

registration compared with 1873 gives unmistakable
proof Of tho interest fclt by the tho ap-
proaching election. The entire vote cast Tor District

Phops' majority was 26,953 Recorder HacEotrs

than that received by Mr.. Phelps. This a good cr

election in this city next MONTH Unaer the aspect
OF the present registry as TAR as 1t has gonc fair

These ngures nrc based more particularly the
Idea that tue COMBINATION about to be mad0 Will

about TO be decided at the ballot box.

Two years ago this contract was made and carried
out TO tho letter. waver not perccptble along

TAMMAyY DEFEATED.
IL Is now contended by the anti ammmny leaders
that good reasons exist why Tammany Hail should
be again defeated next month. The fact that a
macnIno stands at all created for tho rxvross
purpose oil grinding out1ni cecting Candidates, re-
warning friends and punishing ocs Is put forward
strong argument against the Endorsement OF candI-
dates oil such iacton rhen too, the corpora

tipathy among the masses to the Wigwum policy.

nothing Tor cxtravagant remuneration. Officials who
could scarcely earn $1,000 year at any reputable
loy receive tcus Of thousands from tho city
treasury. Coroncrs, aldermen, missoners OF de-
puri ments and others draw salaries
IRON the city. These some OF the arguments put tor
ward by opponents OF the wigwam. They are onun-
clatcd from platform and rostrun. The ward and raif
cation meetings resound with figures aud dcnuncaton
graphically explaining such state OF AFFAIRS The
poor man Is called upon 10 come TO the polls and cast
MS ballot against this infamous system OF a
horde OF hungry politicians combining together
for the purpose Of dividing up The spoils among
favored lew wno have fed at tho puDiIc
crib Tor nearly a quarter oil century. They INSIST
that tho day OF professional politicians should DO

local issues concerned, has not been fully appre.
