ERNOR EXCI1ITG INTEREST


ALpANY March 27.--Thc fight of the Dem
ocratic factions continues & bo the absorbing
topic among tho politicians both inside and out
side Of the Legislature. The thoroughly ag-
crcssive attitude assumed 10y Tammany Hall,
since the Governors decision in the cases OF
Gumblc;on and Iocw md the action Of Mayor
Cooper toward the Police Commissioners, have
ut once put an end 10 all talk Of harmony Tho
air is loaded with the threats and clustering Of
the champions OF the warning factions. II one
is to believe half that he hears the impeach-
ment Of the Governor. u spring election in
the city the removal OF cx-King Kelly. and all
the heads Of departments in New York who do
not train with Mayor Cooper. are nlrcndy as
sured fucts Butthcre is no fear that this Chinese
war OF noise will result in half the terrible
things that are prophcsie1. Among the think
ing Democrats OF the rural districts there is
fast growing an impression that 1t is hardly
worth while to sacrifice all the chances OF the
party to crafty the personal likes Of either
faction in New York A well-known Democrat,
who in no way has been identified with either
Of the factions. said to-day that the commune
