UNION OF FACTIONS PR0BABLE-TAMMANf HAL
WILL. DEMAND TIL. sBERiFF's OFFICE.

UNION OF FACTIONS PROBABLE-tAMNANi nall
WILL DEMAND THE sBERIFF's OFFICE.
The fact that Tammany Hall will be allowed
thirry-one votes in the Democratic State COnven-
ton has set the politicians WONDERING wlat IN, uSo
will be made of their power Dy the I&Hnsny lou
ers 1ammany Hall has no candidate OF ils own
for Governor and is, therefore, Ia aposltioh 10
decker with the County Democracy for the county
offices to he filed at The November electloh mole
over, ii he Iammany Hall organization holds an ad,
yanfaaeous position. 1t has nothing 10 lose ana
everything to gain IL has been passed over oy the
Administrator somet hing not worthy Oh nOtlee.
None of The Federal offices in this city are hiled oy
a Tammany man. United States DlStrict-AttosIheeS
Dcrshener was not the enoice OF h
irat,on since 1879, when he supported MI hely
for Governor. Tammany Hall does not
to-day control q single department OF the Olty
GovsTTnment and in nearly every one has no direct
faking these things into consideration, it i only
natural that rammany Hail should subordinate
everytalng else to the proec of again having pat
r0naua to dispense BY obtaining controI OF some
par. Of the City Government g ads an the the
County Democracy that II shall concede the SneI-
ia TO Tammany Hall. Irving Hall, III tne person
of Exc.se Commissioners Nicholas haughton, Is AZ
ready making fierce demands for the place, on the
ground that 1t has held the Office for the past FIX
years Ine answer Sd baS great deal moro than
NJ was entitled 20. 1t is one of the ANOMALIES oI
local politics that this shadow OF an organization
has been allowed the candidate IeI . ans
the candidate for Sheriff was Conceoem Dy We
Comfy Democracy to TaInmany Hail. ne canuS
date was agreed on iu the person OF Undft Sherln
Joel o. Stevens. irving Hall demanded re place
for Alexander Davidson. and at the meeting OF tne
Joint Committees of Tammany Hall the County
Democracy and Irving Hall, John Kelly In the
interest Of harmony. aud, as be then stated IN or,
der that the State ticket should not be lmperlIea
conceded the demand. Irving Hall had threatened
10 run Citizens ticket with ali the oppoItunl-
fles Tor trading that this would allow. MI Cleve-
land when he became Governor, declinedto allow
that this gave Tammany Hall any claim ON INN,
and this was the beginning OF Tammanys sIohR
opposition 10 him. o.,on
There are several candidates for the nomination
for Snerlif Inside Iammany Hal. Joel U: Stevens
thinks that he is entitled TO 1T, having been SET
aside three years ago. 1t is asserted
that if Mr.. Kelly takes an active ,c,trTe
parU in pslItlcs this fall no IN nkeiy
fo get IL. Thomas +. GJroy Is backed by BY ndi-
cate composed of Fire Commissioner Croker, SEN
ator PIunkitt aud Hugh J. Grant. Senator Cullen
wishes IT understood that he will not be second 10
any man when the nominee is decided on.
There are a County Clerk, three Coroners ana
several Justices to be chosen In November, but the
pivot of them all Is the Sheriff. Whichever poilt-
oa organization gets that must be prepared 10 con-
ceo most of the other nominations 10 its partners
in the political deal. That there will be union
between Iammany Hall and the County Denoc-
taey en- the comfy ticket no one conVelsant WIN
the inner workings~ef politics doubts. There Will
probably be the usual contests on Senators and AS
scmbynen.
