substantial triumph OF the principals OF 'ne
County Democracy.
The best informed politicians in the city believe
thai the State COMMITTEES will not take any action
toward supervising New-York primaries and will
thus leave Tammany Hall master OF tho situation
II is we'll known that Tammany han Will mol cen
cent to any such supervision.
President Reilly, of the Board of Aldermen, who
came down from Saratoga on Monday to act as
Mayor in the temporary absence OF Mayor Edison.
and vino will return to Saratoga to-day, said yes
terday: "The country members OF the State Com
mittes with whom talked, aud the representative
taialy do not think that union primaries will be
held here. Tam;nany Hal Will not be willing 70
30 into primaries where all the machinery IS IN the
bands Of the County Democracy What is very
likely to be done 10 that Tammany Hall, the
County Democracy and Irving Hall will each hold
primaries and elect full delegations to the state
Convention. The convention will then decide what
proportion of each delegation shall be
given seats in that body. Tammany Hall
VIII be satisfied T5h tins sT6 ss,a
Tammany Hall has proved its ability 10 take care OF
itself in local contests"
The last Democratic State Convention. after
long contest over the admission of the rival dele
CATION from this city. adopted the following reso-
luton:

Democratic organization OF the CITY and county OF
wocSs n tss s0i CITY siS os NswYOs Who are not
connected with the County Democracy 10 unite IN the

follows the County Democracy, thrtyeight seats
TO Tammsny Hail. twenty-four Seats to irVins Hail. ten
seats
This was done for the purpose OF
secnrine harmony in the party and to
Insure the election Of Grover Cleveland Governor
The leaders of the County Democracy say there Was
no necessity for giving Tsmmany Hall representa-.
ton in the convention and toat had Iammany Iiall
beer excluded 1t would have either been forced TO
airport the State ticket suffer political destruc-
ton by opposing it, The Tannany leaders declare,
on the other hand, that Tammany Hall has Demon
etrated that il is the strongest Democratic organ
Ration in the city by eectIng its candidates. By
admitting representatives OF al the Democratic
organizations the State ticket is sure to receive
hearty support, and the local contests VIII IN no
wise affect 1t.
The majority of the County Democracy leaders
are ouspok en- in their declarations against union
with rammany this fall on the local ticket Others oil
the leaders prefer TO say nothing untli atter the
meeting of the State Committee and ITS action con-
cenlue the primaries lie known. What Is ex.
tremoly probable Is that ualon In whole or In part
will be effected between the County Democracy and
the Citizens organization on local tlcket ne
Citizens organization. although it has kept quiet
since last November, Ia by no means dead; On The
contrary within the past two weeks 1t has been
brought into active being and within the next two
weeks meeting of the Executive Committee VIII oe
hold to formally organize for the local campaign
In most of the Assembly districts the leaders have
been selected. 1t is moro than probable that ths
Citizens organization and the County Democracy
will agree on candidates for Register, Judges anc
Aldermen. No nominations are likely TO DC made
nv the Citizens organization for Senator'S and AS
semblymen, because the object Is to keep the move
ment clear of State politics.
