WHAT HE SAID AFTER THE BATTLE.

| NOTHING IN THE TALK OF ANOTHER COMMITTEE
DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The result of the election of John j. OBrien "a
chairman OF the Republican County Committee, was a
subject OF general discussion politicians yeser
day The leaders OF the opposition TO Mr. O'Bren did
not appear feel distressed their defeat. They
were evidently surprised that Mr.. OBrien secured
large vote; but as all the Federal influence tho
side Of Mr. Cooper there was ground for asserting that
influence had been exered 10 secure votes for Mr.
O'BrieD. On Tuesday some of Mr.. OBriens chief sup
porers asserted that no defeated they would
duce aidavits show that men holding Federal Office,
had been threatened with removal by friends Of
the President In this city unless they voted
for Mr.. Cooper. But as Mr.. OBrion was
elected disposition was shown say more about the
matter.
The talk OF starting another committee was referred to
again by the supporters Of Mr. Cooper There appears 10
be no probability, however that any such step Will be
taken. II intended TO do than organize
a campaign committee" said OF Mr. Cooper's fol-
lowers, and II the necessity for such course should
arise II will take long do that Even IN that event
think we would be willing TO act in conjunction With tho
regular organization and not act entirely independently
of it, Our only object to furnish the necessary assur
funds subscribed for campaign purposes viii be
expended the satisfaction Of the contributors.
But OF course there Is very little money that
into the hands of the County Committee. iScx-
