NEW York, Dec. 11.-Every Irving Hall
politician in the city wore look OF perfect
happiness to-day, and every one felt just as
he looked. 1t was the universal opinion
that the Irving Hail Democracy had found
its golden opportunity, and there was gen.
eral determination evinced to take every
advantage of it and to "make hay
while the sun shone." So far
as his political power was concerned, 1t was
felt that when Allan Campbell was con-
frmed as Controller John Kelly received his
deatt-blow. One Of the prominent anti
Tammany politicians said last evening that
the result of the combinations on Friday had
been to give Irving Hall an impetus towan1
permanent success that would continue, and
gain new strength daily. Believing that
TAa1ALANY HALLS BACKBONE WAS 1RoKEE
once for all, irving Hall wouh 20 steadily on
In its plan Of organization, aud would take
its proper place rs the most important DEM
ocratic organization In the city. The 1m-
mense patronage now placed at the disposal
Of Irving Hall would of necessity greatly
strengthen the organization. One Of
the most important factors in the
was this loss of patronage. It was the opin-

Controller would find his greatest danger
within the ranks of Tammany-Hall from dis
satisfied otticeholders, to whom he could not
offer anything. Discomfort would be sure to
make these men restless and bitter toward
their Boss" who had been unable to keep
them in their places. Irving Hall politicians
rely upon dissatisfaction, causirg ill-fee1ing
and faction fights inside Tammany's

grand fight in the organization, and
this would result in successful attempt to
oust John Kelly as the head OF the concern
at the next election which takes place in
April. "There is where Kelly will get his
final blow" and that is what Irving Hal be-
1ieves will happen.
