UsUEpING SENATOR.
David b. Hill and his partisans in this city
have been consoling themselves since the outbreak
of the revolt against his midwinter scheme. I'D
tn, belief that there is no organized body behind
the anti-Ilill movement. and. comparing it with
certain evanescent and fantastic Mugwump agita-
lions of the last few years. they say that
it will soon expcnd itself and come to naught.

the Asor Building by disciples OF the Elmira vote
buyer and his Tammany Hall subjects.
Notwithstanding this convenient way OF DIS
posing of the Democratic combine against Hill.

which more than one set of fellows can play be-
licve that not less than 10000 New-lork Demo-
Gratis stan ready to cooperate in the anti-filli

figures at from 10, 900 to 10000 higher Such body
of men il actua;ed by a common. patriotic purpose

John J. Quinlan, and leading members of the New
York. or voorhi-, Democracy, as we'll
a. other weknown anti-TaxyHany DEM
ocrats. have held numerous conferences
with view of moulding the opposition
to Tammany Hall into compact and
organized mass. They have been far sue
cessful that the remaining unpurchasabe part
of the New-York County Democracy. the
IIeintz Democrats Of the Twenty third and Twen-

Wigwam have decided to act in political concert
in the future.
The first opportunity for united action has pre-
sented itself in Tie battle opened in this city
by the revolt against the autocratic methods or
Hill. This action will not be the less effective
if it is thought best to maintain the respective
organizations and elect delegates from each body
to City and State Conventions which will he called
TO oppose the INSCRIPTIONS and impudent methods
of Senator Hill and Tanmany Hall. Each or
ganization. il is understood, will hold its own
primaries and choose its own delegates. but these
delegates will act in harmony. That the plan or
union will ultimately 90 further and the combined
organization become a great and "ell-manaeed
body able 10 cope with Tammany Hall and the
adherents Of IIillism in the county and State IS
already confidently predicted by those who are at
it's head and in accord with its projects.
Ii is estimated by those who are in the couuses OF
Mr. Grace Mr.. Stcclllcr, Mr. Heintz and other
leaders that much mDrc than nalf the NoOrhis or
ganizatiom will enter the opposition to Tammany.

The leaders in this movement have need OF wisdom
