s.deal'' made between the Tamn,any
aDd Republican nembess Of the lower
hcuse Of the New York legislature. A
batch Of appointments have been made

The Republican clerk in making his

T.mmany men. He appointed eight
deputy clerks 1t $500 each aud gave
Tamn,any one half Of these. The other
four are Republicans. The appointees
for librarian and assistant librarian are
Tamlaany men. The clerk also aP-
pointed twenty pages and gave eight OF

the half.breeds are no, recognized.
Since the session began. the clerk
has made altogether thirty-tive
appointments. Twenty-one Of them are
Cornell Stalwart> and fourteen OF them

deal between the Ta,lmanyites and
Cornell Stalwarts is 10 Lear still richar
fruit il the future: no less than the re-
election Of Cornell to the Icvcsnor>i,ip.
In the event OF this being accomplished
