THE CONTEST IN THE CITY.
QUESTIONS AFFECTING THE CAMPAIGN

WORK.
The Extraordinary General Term of the Supreme
Court yesterday decided that neither the Iammany
nor the Anti Tammany factions could be dsregarded
In choosing Inspectors of Election As the time
allowed by law for appointing inspectors would not
expire until October /, the Court had no power be-
fore that date to compel the appointment Tho
same General Term. Justice Brady writing the de-
cision has granted the writ of prohibition restraining
Commissioner Nichols from going any further with
his certiorar proceedings In the Special Term. This
does not prevent Mr. Nichols from pursuing his eff
forts for reinstatement in the regular and lawful
course. but the Court held that Judge Westbrook
had exceeded his Jurisdiction. There Is much ac-
tivity in the State Committee rooms. Many Re-
publican speakers of note will take part in the CAM
paCn IN this State. The Kelly State Committee
was organized yesterday.
