WHAT IS EXPECTED OF SECRETARIES MANNING
AND WHITNEY.
It is thought that Secretaries Whitney and
Manning during their stay in New York will
endeavor to harmonic the democratic factions
in that city SO as to present solid front of de-
mocracy at the fall elections. New York politi.
clans in this city say that this is a much more
important question now than the selection of a
candidate for the governorship, as the party
must unite before they can expect to do any
thing. They say that all the factions will be
satisfied If man is selected for collector of the
port who has no connection with any of the or
CARNATIONS and will act impartially towards
all. Then If the County democracy is given the
surveyorship of tfe port and Tammany gets
the district attorneyship or the marshalship all
will go we'll and there will be great reunion of
the democratic brotherhood. The two New
York Secretaries are expected to accomplish
