Hail. the Anti-MonOpolistsl These are questions
/ that have been asked with some acerbty of tone
by the various Democratic factions during the past
week as they have contemplated the ,poils OF the
Legislature. The Country Democrats through
Daniel Manning, the chairman of the Democratic
State Committee. and the Tammany Hall Demo
Gratis, through a committee have tried 10 come to
some agreement about the patronage. For thc past
three days they hayo been consulting Without re-
sult at the Office of The A'5ly ArguS. To-day the
Tammary committee, which consists Of Police
Commissioner Nichols, General T. b. Spmola and
Edward Kcarncy, again visited Mr. Manning It
appears to be understood by all the candidates for
office in the Lcgislaturc even Of the highest that it
would be waste of labor TO seek votes while tho
consultation was going on This or that candidate
would be traded of for others by the Bosses at
The frG4s Office; why then put forth the super
lluous labor Of asking the members Of the Lcgsla-

Among tho lesser candidates there was n still

There was another remarkable symptom Of sur
render to IN, 1rgas council. Not the slightest
argument was uttered respecting the abilities or
claims " the candiCatcs. The Country Democracy
wauld have so much patronage no matter what the
character of their candidates. Tammany would
have so mnch with The disregard of character.

bargain and sale should be drawn up by the high

When the Taumany committee returned they
reported Il Mr.. Manning still refused to grant
their requests and that in fact they
an agreement with him than before their visit.
Still they were confident that an agreement would
be reached before Monday night. General Spinola
said: Wcu we don't norry we can wait develop

we be anxious we doD't belong to any party we
are gree ances IN The Legislature, and can afford TO
90 our own way till can be made to see that II
will he advantageous TO 90 in another direction
Still there was evidence that something had been
said at the conference that changed the situation.

by the days events. While placatiug the Brooklyn
Democrats on the one hand, lamnany tried on the
other to make peace with the Country Democrats
by speaking fayorably Of their candidate for
Speaker, Mr.. Patterson.
The Tammany programme for the day would
seem to have been to grant the SpoIkcrship and
cnr.shp of the Assembly to its opponents and to
demand the ccrlshlp of the Senate aud an import
ant committceship for ITSELF also to insist upon the
