THE STRUGGLE IN THE DISTRICTS.
The contest IN the Fifth Senate district is again
one-sided. Senator Edward Hogan is candidate
for reelection, his competitor being exCoroner Cor
nelius Flynn. Senator Hogan's friends contend
that his majority over his opponent will probably
be as large it was two years ago. when he by
over ten thousand majority. Mr. Flynns can
vass is being promoted by ex-senator John Fox.
An interesting struggle Is going on in the Seventh
district. where ex-senator Thomas j. Creamer Is
running with o united democratic nomination
against Ferdinand Eideman The district is strongly
German, and although Mr.. Creamer is making
active canvass within limits which he has twice be-
fore represented in the Senate he has hard battle
before him to win.
bitter fight is also making in the Eighth Senate
district between Robert H. Strahan. republican, and
John w. Browning, who has the Tammany nomina-
ton and Irving Hall Endorsement. The district is
republican. but both are confident Of victory.
In the territory bounded by Fourteenth street.
of Third avenue, to Eightysixth street. is the
Ninth Senate district and here the competitors
ex-senator Francis NJ. Bixby. Tammany; Colonel
John r. Fellows, Irving Hail. and c. Z. Lansing,
publican. Colonel Fellows entered the late,
having been nominated on Friday. The district Is
overwhelmingly democratics Present appearances
point to the election Mr. Bxby. Zest is added to
the canvass there by the candidature of 'the man
with the wonderful shirt collar who is running for
the Assembly in the Sixteenth district against
Edward P. HogeL. a popular young man who
represented the district in the last Legislature
Tammany man. The betting is in favor OF Mr..
Hogen.
A close race is being run in the Fourth Senate
district between Mr.. w. W. Astor. republican. and
Charles A. Jackson who has both the Tammany
and Irving Hall nominations. 1t is doubtful il the
majority Of the successful candidate will be above
500. In the Sixth Senate district Jacob Seebacher

In the Fifth Assembly district there four
didutes for assembly, Edwin M. Fox being the Tam
many and Warren q. Bennett the ant-Tammany
Nike Norton was in the race at the
start, but has retired in favor OF Bennett; but the
friends Of MIR. Fox working Like beavers for him.
and he has made very active personal canvass.
His supporters contend that he will '.sweep the
deck" and while his opponents believe he will be
beaten they are not over sanguine OF success.
THE OTHER CANDIDATES..
The Irving Hall men speak confidently OF the
a.
siderable money has been wagered in the region Of
Union square that Major Peter Bowe, the candidate
The mass Of ~ammany men do not speak with
confidence in regard to their county ticket while
many OF the district leaders talk significantly OF being
able to pull Mr.. Gumbeton. judges McAdam and
Aiker ana Coroners Flanagan and Woltmap through,
which would seem to lend the color OF probability
TO the flying rumors about bargain between the
republicans and Tammany.
Tho amount of trading and dickering between the
candidates for Aldermen and the Legislature is pro-
digous and already extends to every district the
island. and to the candidates OF all parties. From
the list printed above the good citizen his
own choice OF candidates whom he wishes to sup
port, and vote for them regardless of the pulling
and hauling OF professional political hacks and
wirepullers.
