Republican Disaffection Rapidly
Spreading.
Among the members of the Repub-
lican party there are q number Of people
who labor for their living, and these
swell the ranks of the disaffected to
large proportions. They say that the
action of the City Central Committee in
calling the primaries was such IS to
show that the party is being run by the
'sswells," and for their interests. The
idea of calling the primaries between the
hours of IL NJ. and P. NJ, when working
people cannot get off, is to them proof
positive that they do not count for much
in the Republican party, and they pro-
pose to resent this as far as possible, and
if good men are nominated by the other
parties to vote for them.
The fact that the Republican City
Central Committee has issued
no official call as yet for the
primaries and convention is also
looked upon as suspicious. Those out
side of the Union League think that there
is % of some kind behind it all, and
that the delay bodies no good to the party
in general, but is in the interest of slate
which is being prepared behind the locked
doors on First street. They don't like
the appearance of things, and propose to
resent it at the proper time.
1t was said on the streets yesterday
that each of the three Republican papers
had favorite in the race for the Mayor
atty nomination. The candidates for
nomination were apportioned thus: Hon.
Henry Hazard to the Express, General
Mansfield to the Times, aud Judge Fitz-
gerald to the Tribune, and it was also
limited that in order to save trouble q
dark horse might be brought forward.
The names of ex-Mayor E. F. Spence,
Major Bonebrake, and Captain E. P.
Johnson were mentioned as the dark
horses. It was stated, however, that
Captain johnson would not accept the
nomination, and that the consent of the
others was doubtful.
The Tammanv Club met yesterday
afternoon, President M. G. Marsh in the
chair and John Scheick, Secretary, with
Phil Gaffey acting. A committee was
appointed to confer with the committees
of the Iroquois and Reliance CLUBS, and
the meeting adj ,urned.
AT O'Clock IN the afternoon con-
ference was held between the committees
from the three clubs above named, at
which the differences which have existed
were satisfactorily arranged and plans
formulated for the harmonious conduct
of the campaign.
Several new names we're heard yester-
day in connection with the offices
to be filed by the election.

had concluded to allow his name to come

in the field to stay, that they have
nominated good ticket, and that they
will endeavor to have it elected.
