PHILADELPHIA politics are in a
strange medley. AT present Mayor
Stok,ey seems to be fading out oi
sight, ana the Democrats, with a fair
chance Tor success, are i'll danger oi
losing that by want of coherence.-
Mr. Steel, for Mayor, as a non partl-
san concession, or Mr.. Hunter for Re
ceiver of Taxes, may lead to the defeat
of Stokley; while, on the other hand,
q straight Democratic ticket may car
ry the day in the confusion Of factions;
but the general perspective is nebu-
ious enough. The fact is there issuch
a rapid unloosening of party ties since
the Presidential election, that men
hardly know where to fasten them
selves. The political status in Phil
adelphia is that of quiyering quick
sand. The pervauing sentiment Ii
that of unsettDement. The Gas Trusl
deties investigation, as 1t confesses
guilt. The Committee of One hun
dred signs out its sense of failure u
reform evils within the lines of thu
Republican party. The Legislature i
