AIB,NY Feb 2.-Thc election OF speaker ol inc
,.,,Jv TODAY was a surprise to most of the poll
,ioio,s of the CAPITAL Yesterday when the Legs
,otrro odionrled there seemed TO he no way To end
,he deadlock. T. b. ThurGer with his band OF
nolitical adventurers called Anti-MonopollstS' Id
four hours completely changed the face OF auiirS
II was right, that Mr.. Ihurber had been respon-
chic in some measure for the deadlock, that he
should help to end it. 1t is doubtful. however, IL
bo was conscious that he was working powerfully
20 effect an organization. Perhaps it was through
ll;ndness TO the effect of such statement that he
1 bis associates declared in the State Capitol yes
to-day afternoon that the Anti-MOnopoly party haa
nat the slightest objection to the election OF ChareS
+ Patterson. the regular Democratic cand!da'e' as
sneaker This declaration cut the ground from
prder the feet of the Tammany AsNemblyHleh'
They could 10 longer declare, posing as Ann-Moh-
onolists that they feared that Mr.. Patterson would
orcauize the Assembly in the interest OF the lhoH-
,nolists Further resistance could only be made on
tine perilous ground that Mr.. Patterson woulu hot
give them the spoils of office they desired

Messrs. SpnoIa. Nichols and Kearncy immediately
to nnt Tammanv in a more favorable position. Ihe
work of the agents was hastened by the threat Oh

Jeo,,ue to denounce the Tammany AssemDlymen
~ obstructionsts' if they longer resisted 'he
election of an unobjectiOnable man. OF Their own
Marty faith, as Speaker. The members OF th3 ANU
Monopolv League also freely expressed the sus-
plclon that the Tammany members were actually
grabbing for Office in the Legislature Whne pre-
4L. in
tending to be only thinking OF the ln-
,crest of the Anti-MonOpoly party Ill
blocking the organization. The ntterance oi SUCH
spsncions naturally grieved MoSsrs Spinoia' kear-
new and Nichols, and they resolved to show how
unjust such charges were in a private talk with
Mr. Patterson. They sent word to him at his resi-
dence in Troy that they should like 20 see him be-
fore the night expired in this city. Mr. Patterson
resnonded to the simmons and met the Iammany
AGENTS at once in a retired part of the StanwN HAN
Hotel
During their conversation with Mr.. Patterson
the Tammany agents are said to have as
sured him that nothing wOuld please the
Tammany Asscmblymen better than TO be placed
on obscure committees. All rnmors, therefore that
they are to have prominent places on the commit,
tee on Cities. on Railroads or on commerce ana
Navigation, must be untrue. Nevertheless Mr.
Patterson assuredlY said something pleasant Tor

The news caused much delight to all members,

The Assembly met an hour later For two ballots
the TamInauy Assemblymcn vOtCd as usual. In the
interval 1t is said, Messrs. Spnola, Nichols and
Kcarney were endeavoring to secure votes for
Maurice T. lIOahGn, a former lamn1ny Assembly
man. for clerk of the Assembly, Upon the thlri bal
Ot the Tammany act of secession ended. Mr. Began,
who is not gifted with humor, then SAID, with
grave face that for five weeks he had voted for
Tan,many member, Mr. Costello, for Speaker, but
that gentleman not seeming TO be a tavontc he
should now vote for Charles L. PatteI-
ed by all the other members OF he
Assembly The late Tamnany candidate for
Sneaker James j. Costello said 1T gives me great
pleasure TO end these mOnOtOnOus 5edlngs. Ihe
Democracy of the State is once more united; We
have crossed bands over the bloody chasIl. VT.
Costello WAS followed by Mr.. Maler who SAID: We
have been accused of not being Democrats. That
statement is untrue. We are as good Democrats as
blymen voted for Mr. Patterson. Clerk john
so1 announced that the vote stood: For Charles
T. Patterson, 80; for Thomas q. Alvord, 81. lie
then declared Mr.. Patterson duly elected Speaker
