OF any ea sy ss S S m anG h
leaders were all willing to admit that tn would
not or itself be sufficient 10 secure them exclusive
admission from this city into the next State Con
Nehtion' various causes were ascribed for the fail
ure One was that the bad weather had caused
some 10000 of the "parlor Democrats" 10 re-
mann at home, and that If 1t had been
good day these men would have come out and
voted Tor the County Democracy candidates, hich
slne andrews Oliver Walker and Others who were
defeated Another excuse was that Tammanys
domination OF Mr.. MckeOn had injured the County
Democracy, and that the delay in printing tickets
caused by the nomination of NJ OGOrman for an
once not vacant had also hurt them. One of the
leaders SAID that it was impossible TO make the pub

date Tor Surrogate Another said that there had been
SO much trading among the local candidates, who
were determined to look out for themselves that it
had injured the State ticket. Several of those

The Mayor and some of his friends in the County
Democracy hoped by the use of these nominations
to capture Tammany Hall from John Kelly but the
fact that the County Democracy will have only
small minority of the next Board of Aldermen has
upset all these carefully land plans to lay John
Kelly on the shelf. The Mayor sees his
hopes OF becoming the next Democratic
nominee for Governor rapidly fading away, aud
some other County Democrats who also had

incidents of the election to these leaders the
