NEW YORK, July 2s.-Those good
folk who have been predicting the
crushing defeat Of Tammany Hall in
the coming municipal campaign may
have been basing their expectations
without az adequate knowledge Of the
wonderful resources OF that great po-
litical organization. 1t is too early in
the summer for any one TO safely pre-
diet what may happen in November
with any great degree OF surety that
the predictions will come true. Never
thsless it is already apparent that Tam
many is not going TO lie down and be
slaughtered without making q strong
effort to save itself, and when Tam
many once gets down TO good solid
work the outcome is not generally
doubtful.
just now the indications are that the
Tammauy fortunes are In the ascendant,
Notwithstanding the tremendous on
slaught that has been made o7 the
Parkhurst movement, the Lexow State
Legislative InVestig ating Committee,
the revelations of police corruption and
the detection Of the administration and
other reform Democrats. Mr.. Richard
Croker. notwitb standing his resigna-
tiop. is still the power behind the throne
in Tammaay and will practically d.
rect the campaign. He has already
succeeded IN making peace with
with the national ad ADMINISTRATION, and
the evidence Of this seen in the recent
apUointmens Of John IL. McCarty 10
be United States Marshal in this dis
trict. for Mr. McCarty is one Of the
most active men ia the Tammany
ranks. The other national admins
tratlou appointments 10 this city, as
for instance. the Collector, the Snr-
yey0r and the Postmaster have not
been inimical 20 Tammany and the in
dicatiopS now are that the influence OF
the administration will be at least ST.
lently felt on the Tammany side this
fall.

Itisan open secret that the personal
relations between President Cleveland
and Senator German have been strained
ever since the famous campaign OF 1854.
The present tariff situation in the Sen
ate has set the political goSsipS 10 talk
ing, and many interesting stories con-
corning The TWO great Democratic lead
erS are flying about. One was told the
other night at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
by a prominent Democrat, who said
that be had il wears ago from ex-Secre-
tary WIN. c. Whitney.
In October, 1883, when it was appar-
ent 10 everybody that the Democratic
campaign In the hands of Senator Brice,
as chairman OF the Democratic National
Committee, was an absolute failure,
President Cleveland sent for Senator
German, and asked him TO go to New
York and assume personal control and
direction during the rest OF the cam
paign. Senator German expressed his
Willingness 10 accede TO the Presidents
request upon certain conditions, aud be
asked that three things should first be
done by the President. Upon the PreSi-
dents assurance that he would co-ope-
rate with Mr.. German, the Senator
added
First, Mr.. Peason must be removed
from the pOstotice in New York, and
Democrat must Re appointed in his
place. Second, Mr.. Graves must be re-
moved from the position of the Chief Of
the Bureau Of Engraving and Printing
the place given 30 true and trusty
Democrat. Third, you must accept the
resignation Of Mr.. Judd as postmaster
OF Chicago, which resignation was ten
dered some time ago, and some unob-
jectiouabIe Democrat must be appointed
10 that Office"
The response Of Mr.. Cleveland was
81 can and will accept Mr.. Judd'S res
ignation Immediately. The other two
things, Senator, / cannot and will not
do"
Senator Germans response was brief
and 20 the point: Then, Mr.. President,
we will be- beaten in Noyemb Der ana you
will beat ". | hove the honor 10 bid
you good day
Aud in November Harrison was
elected.
Elehu Vedder, the artist, who has
made his home In Rome for years, has
been in this city tor some time, engaged
upon commission for Mr.. Coils Z.
Huntington, 20 decorate the dining
room of Mr.. HuutingtOn'S mansion on
Fifth avenue. The custom of having
prominent and accomplished artists do
the freScoing in public buildings and
private residences Is coming more aud
more vogue, and many of our best
painters are finding this work more re-
munerative and even more satisfactory
from high art pOiBt OF view than the
production Of easel pictures.
Those who have been permitted 10
see on the secret, the designs for the
NHr.Hr HaNre# a rH4f H. -
will be by all odds the greatest piece OF
work that Nedder has ever done. Mrs.
NeddeT is diSCOnSOlate TO think that the
frescOeS can never De much known TO
the public, and can add 10 the fame of
her gifted and eccentric husband only
in limited circle. She declares that
"the freSeoes are far ahead Of the Ru-
baiyat drawings. They are the finest
things he's ever done, l tell you, and
the unfortunate part OF 10 is that the
world will never know II. IL was Mr..
Huntington's express stipulation that
they should not be seen or exhibited
while being designed aud painted, and,
once Ia private house, y work Of art
is lost to the public.
The Huntington mansion is rapidly
approaching completion but none save
the worEmen have vet been privileged
to see its interior. There have been
strong efforts by several Of our leading
periodicals 10 secure the privilege Of
writing up and illustrating the house,
which is said 70 be q marvel OF artistic
beauty. Money has beer LITERAL sQuan-
dered upon Its interior decorations and
furnishings, and one secret Of the re-
cent rebuilding Of the Cornelius Wander
bilt house was the well-de6ned fear
that the Huntington mansion when
finished would eclipse that establish
