TIE OTHER FELLOWS.

The condition Of local political affairs, outsid.
Of the Republican ranks, is simply chaotic l.
il it were not enough to have four or five differ
cnt tickets in the field, the air is full Of tall
about dcfections, designations, bouncing Of cau
aidates and all that sort OF thing. The Demo
cratic-W Workngmcn feud has not yet been set
tied, aud al that has trauspred about it SO fa1
is ralk. The Democrats would not object tt
having the Workingmen's support, but to oh
tain 1t 1T the cost Of sacrificing some Of their
candidates is proposition which finds bt,t
little favor among the members o1
a party who are hungry for the
spoils. The Workingmen, on the other
hani, are not SO anxious now to be represented
OH that ticket They are disguised we'll as
madtened at the way the Democrats
scooped up their convention and then went back
on them in their own, aud among the better
classes Of the new party the dominant feeling Is
that they will have none Of it,
THE TALK NOW
is of an alliance with the Greenbackers, and the
adoption Of fusion ticket composed Of the
best men they Tan ret out OF the two parties,
with Judge Wallace, who is neither q tircen-
barker nor 4 Workingnlat, at its head for Coun-
ty Treasurer. Such titk-t, thcy foudl9 be-
l.cve, will be supported by the ,iisutIected
classes anu the independent voters, and will, If
1t does, nothing else, spoil tue Dcmoc-
racy's calculations. The Committee appointed
to purge the Workingmen's ticket viii report
io-suorroW evening, and it is the talk among tile
lnore prinlcplcu tlcmbers Of the party that the
whole ticket will be gone over, improper per
sons bounced and new ticket, composed OF
nothing hut good men, adopted. Tom kaya-
naugh and several others of the lnlustsials
have expressed i willingness to resign il the
Central COMMITTEE deem it advisable in order
to larltate the adoption Of this new ticket.
There Is one man, however, who is about AS

abandoned the field in favor Of Tom Barrett,
the Democratic candidate for the same Office.

pressed his qualification that one rival was out
Uf the way. 1t afterwards turned out however,
that thu runlor was false, whereupon TOMS joy
WAS turned into mourning. 4 TRIBUNE re-

abundant confirmation Of tic fact tnat he intends
to stick. Like as Mrs. Micawber remained
