CoNTENDING FOR ELECTION OFFICERS.

CONTENDING FOR ELECTION OFFICERS.
I The.question Of the appointment of inspectors Of
election and poll clerks is beginning to receive con-
siderable attention III both Irving Hall and Tam
many Hall. The official blanks have been distrib
uted from the Bureau of Election at Police Head
quarters among the district leaders of the various
political organizations, and by August the lists
must be made out and submitted for approval to the
Police Commissioners. There is likely to be trouble
in the selection of Democratic inspectors. General
William f. Smith and Sidney p. Nichols, the Demo-
cratic Commissioners, are adherents of Tammany
Hall and will be likely to favor that organization
But Irving Hall claims to be the regular Democratic
organization of the City and County of New-York,
and will claim one-haf of the election officers This
claim will be contested by Tammany Hall. The
objection made by each organization is that If il has
no representation at each polling place It's nominees
will be cheated out of mauy of the votes cast for
them. Last year the question was carried into the
courts. aud il was finally decided by dividing the
Democratic election officers between the contending
factions The chances are that there will be the
same struggle this year. Irving Hall Will also
claim the right to the Democratic superv isor
of election to be appointed under the United States
law.

prominent as they should. The same Is true OF
many brgades and divisions. This can be remedied
i'll a great degree even now. and Tor many COM
mands entirely remeded, if the officers who have
retained these records would send them by express
to the Adjutant General OF the army. Inc war
Department pays express charges on such packages.
A large number of records have already been thus

WASHINGTON. July 25.-The Editor Of The Sunday
Herald who served under General Hancock. and is

HANCOCK'S REGARD FOR WALLACE.


WAsHINGroN, July 25.-The most prominent
Hancock paper here. Tie Sunday Herald thus states
the preferences of the nominee in regard to the
chalrmanship of the National Committee, from
which it appears that Wallace was not wanted at
all, and that Barnum only second choice:
The truth Is that neither General Hancock nor his
closest friends at desired Senator Wallace to
take the charmaushp OF the National Committee nor did
they consider 1t advisable that he should do Mr..
Hewitt who o ably conducted the campaign or 1876.
would probably have be- their first choice II the stale
of his health had peremptory forbidden his accept
ance Mr. Barnum their next choice. In this
the activity OF il-nformed aud unretecting friends
have only served to place Senator Wallace III embar
raising position. He take 10 himself the aGnge,
