TLOATER.

Last evening body was found floating
in the river just below the Island. The
discovery was made by men on the little
steamer Edith. The body was conveyed
to shore, where an inquest was held. The
deceased proved to be James Mcfarland
an enlisted soldier who has been stationed
on the Island for the past three years
Last Wednesday night he was suffering
from a fever, and in his delirum he man
aged to escape from the hospital. He
probably went straight to the river, as
search was made for him that night, but
without effect
He was Canadian and has mother
and brother still living in Canada.

LOC1L DENOCRiTIC DIVTSTONc

AS usual, Tammany Hall is to derive mpcb
OF ITS strength from the division of its oppo-
ncnts within its own party. There have been
many occasions when IL union of the Anti
1ammany Democrats would have resulted in
rs complete rout of the "rcformedv Tam
many as that which, just ten years apo befelI
the old Ring Tammany; but they have never
been fully taken advantage Of The factions
OF Anti-Tammany have had their own interests
more at heart than the general good of thcir
party or OF the people, and have fought for some
special gain to themselves of minor general
Importance. They trade and dicker away tbc
eventual control of the whole city for the pres
eht patronage of single department or even
bureau OF the local government.
The names of the new organizers of the
New-York County Democracy and the "Ir-
wing Hall Democracy" will not inspire much
confluence IN the sincerity of the move
ments. Those of the iirst-namod faction
snow clearly that it is what is left OF the
local part of Mr.. Tildcns old following
dovetalicd with the fraction of the old
Tweed party which did not get into iail or
go INTO exile. The names of Mayor Cooner.
Corporation Counsel Whitney, Assemblvmon
Andrews and E. Z. Anderson give to tbe
committee tone of responsibility, but Indicate
Il. Green, Charles f. MacLean, T.. +. por,.;s
and Thomas Harland fully betray it. But
what of respectability is lent by these mem
bers is wholly thrown away by the nomination
to the working positions of such pronounced
and not eminently pure politicians as Senator's

concern, neither strength nor respectabilitv
ls given to its reorganization by the assign

named organization Is the one which Tam
many will have most to fear, for it has sub
stantial backing in several of the most i'm
portant city departments us well ns in the
Mayors Office and in tho State Committee
The other wing has only the Sheriff,s office
behind it, and seems TO have been organized
solely for the purpose of a general trading
business for the benefit of few persors

New-York tribune., 1881-08-25

New-York County Democracy by the State
Convention indicates determination on the
part of that organization to force its way into
that body, Or which is much more likely, to
compel the carrying out Of the harmonious
joint-stock arrangement we have before indi-
Gated to be the real scheme of Democratic re-
union.
Of course the united Republicans have
nothing to fear from divided Democracy,
provided they do not bargain with any of it's
factions. The strength of a straight ticket
was shown last year in the face of patched
up Democratic union and in the event of
continued divisions among the Democrats n
straight and honest Republican ticket this year
will win. There is little to dread from such a
union of the local Democrats as the State Com
mittee may compel in order to carry its State
ticket. 1t would be dishonest, insincere, and
consequently an ineffective union-one likely
to "mal1e Republicans" With united front
and a straight ticket squarely supported we
have an advantage which the adverse factions
cannot secure.
