the Tammany Society stand in the ratio OF three to
to their adversaries. they win next month 1t
will be remarkable one. Patronage is one-haif the
battle in fight of this character. shrewd observer
Of political events last night at Stanwn Hall called
my attention to the status of Tainmany as regards
control of patronage in New York city at present.
The gentleman alluded to the departments aud bu-
reaus as follows:-
Mayors Ofice-Anti-Tammany
Board of ldermen--Anti- Tammany.
Department of Finance-Talninany.
Law Department -Tammany
Police Observation-Disclosures
Department of Public -Tammany.
Department of Charities and Correction-Anti-
Tammany.
Fire Department--Tammany.
Health epartment-Anti- -Tammany.
Park Department-Anti- -Tammany (or win bel.
Dock Department Taminany.
Department of Taxes aud Recommendations
many.
Department of Buildings -Tammany.
Board OF Excise-Tamlnany.
Police Justccs-Republic and anti-Tammany.
District Courts-Republican and autTammany.
Coert OF General Sessions-Anti-T -Tammany.
Out OF all the important departments under the
city government, will be seen. only three are con-
trolled by Tanmany. This condition of affairs must
naturally operate in weakening Tammany's prestige
when the final test comes.
REPUBLICAN, PLANS.
Leaders of the republican party in Albany, in the
Legislature and out of it, now anxiously watch
ing all the movements of democratic factions. A
strong element of the republican party here is owl
IDENTIFY bent upon the nomination of Congressman
Hiscock, OF Syracuse for Governor. Tho gentleman
vigorously backed up BY certain members Of the
WlOm cOulScl
attacks OF Governor Tilden upon them. It is
argued that the democratic wing OF this power
ful political phalanx will strike hands with their for
mer republican allies in order to defeat Governor
Robinson should he be renominatcd. Such combine
tion might develop some strength; but it is claimed
that the powerful blows struck ut the Canal Ring by
Tilden have nearly destroyed the influence OF that
political contingent. The following pithy paragraph
from recent issue OF the State democratc journal
in Albany will give soc idea of what is thought Of

In connection with Mr. Hiscock's canvass it is
further alleged that the gentleman is the candidate

placed Thomas q. Alvord in the Speakers chair
to be behind Mr.. Hiscock in his gubernatorial am
bitions.
THE LATEST DEMOCRATIC IDEA.
The idea has been suggested here. during the past
week, in democratic circles, coming from the anti
ticket. 1t Is contended that it would be far bet

the democratic outlook. or course the thousands Of
"outs' who have not been recognized by the present
State regime either side would be glad of any
change which might give chance to share in tho
spoils of Office. II was upon this plan of new
ticket that the Tildenites defeated ut the Al
bany Convention of 1877. Fairchild and Bigeow
were slaughtered. Schoonmaker and Beach being
named for their places. The new ticket doctrine
worked we'll then fur the victory OF antTiden
ties over .Tildenites was concerned, but hur-
mony did not follow by any means. BY
the printing of mongrel ticket throughout
the State tho Tilden element almost succeeded
in defeating Schoonmaker and Beach, such tactics
did not look much like harmony. Similar move
ments might be resorted to next November in case
OF a second victony by the new ticket advocates.
The name of Allen G. Beach is suggested for Gov.
departure in the nomination of State candidates.
The idea of "new ticket does not mean that all
present State officers should be thrown overheard in
the Democratic Convention. but that such men as
Beach aud Schoonmckcr should be recognized by the
democratic party as worthy of elevation to higher
Offices than they ut present occupy.
