Of some anti. Tammany Democrats with
John Kelly looking to the killing Of Of

In conversation with Democrats OF

other official positions, and like Oliver
Twist is continually crying for more.
Another 4 y that It Ia not because Of
Mr.. Currie's vote alone which helped
defeat the Democratic ticket at the last
eubernatorial election, that causes him
to object to Mr.. Curris's election now,
but because his influence was then

has been asserted that nearly Q dozen

against the head Of the Democratic

It Is reported that bets arc offered that
Mr.. Curris will fall 200 votes short OF
an election. Some persons believe that
he will run 400 votes behind the highest
