against the Dossism OF John j. O'Brien
over the New York Republicans. The re-
bellion is among those who have hereto

Whether it succeeds or not, the fschIsm
will cause a breach in the Republican
ranks which renders the chance of the
Democrats carrying New York State next
fall, in spite of the already antagonistic
attitude of Tammany, somewhat more
possible than it seemed last week. Should
It succeed, O'Brien will not be able to
make his usual bargain with John Kelly,
and trade city voets for Presidential:
should it fail, the ''kickers" in large num-
bers will probably either not vote at all.
or will vote Democratic. Still, don't RELY
on New York State as factor in the cleo
tion Of Democratic President. Let a
man be nominated who can be elected
without New York.

nifty here at periodic intervals was enacted

route. The tug Samuel Gedney started
down this morning for the purpose OF bring

H. 6. Higginson, which has been lying here
for several weeks loaded with cooperage,
coal and lumber, cleared for Havana. A
number of oyster boats belonging to this
port are expected to leave in day or two,
and should the present mild weather con
tinue the river will soon he clear of ice. The
