ALBANY, May 6.-The Tammany Hall senator's
were reminded yesterday Of story told about the
Governor by Dean Houghton. The Dean on his
way to the New Capitol one day met the Rev.
Charles Wood, the Governors Presbyterian pastor
here.
Have you any word to send to the Governors
said Mr. Houghton to Mr. Wood.
"0nly this" was the reply, "that wish could
oftener sec him in church."
The Governors response to this was: "Tell Mr..
Wood an ass fell into pit''
Mr.. Wood mused moment when this was told
him, and then said pensvely: II wish that ass
didn't so often fall into pit on Sunday"
The Tammany Senators think in the line Of
this story that the Governor has too often disre-
garded the claims of the Tammany Hall organiza-
tion for Office not to have done so Intentionally.
There has been curiously large number OF acci-
dents of this zature. 1t is asserted by the Gov
ernor's friends that Senator Treanor, one of tho
Tammany Senator's named several OF tho Port
Wardens whose nominations were /" hung up fof
year by the combined votes of the Tammany and
the Republican Senator's The refusal Of the Tam
many Senators to vote with the Regular Democrats
in favor of the confirmation of the Democrats
nominated for Harbor Masters also causes aston
shment. Indeed. it is now apparent that in re-
fusing to act upon the Governors nominations
the Tammany Senators were acting under
orders from John Kelly and the other lead
ers of the Tammany Hall organization. Till
yesterday it was suspected that they might be in
spired by personal motives, but private advices
from New-York say that Mr.. Kelly supports the
Tammany Hall Senators in all they have done
Moreover, the Tammany Hall organization would
not have permitted its Senators to resist for fort
night the confirmation CT William II. Murtha for
Immigration Commissioner unless it approved their
course.

to throw away all this advantage now. However.
there were thousands of Country Democrats who
