PASSED THE DAY

Lakewood, y. J.. Dec. 19.-The counting Of the
ballots cast at the primaries of Tammany Hall
will probably be in progress when the ofhclai
slate for New-York offices will be made public
The slate is now practically finished. and 1t IL
not likely there will he many changes In II as
II now stands. 1t will probably be made pubic
officially or semi-officially in New-fork on the
night Of December %. BY that time the pri-
maries will be over and the heartburnings Will
not be felt at the primaries
That Brooklyn will not get all that has been
credited to her now appears 10 he certain From
the start almost. Bernard j. York as been set
down as one Of the two Democratic members of
the Police Board 1t was whispered about the
hotel to-day generally that Mr. York was not
to get that place, and would have to content
himself with a position the Sewer Commits
sion Men we'll up in the councils of Tammany
seem to think this is a fact.
There are some good reasons why Mr.. York
would not make Police Commissioner accep-
table to the Tammany men. He is a BROOKLYN
ite for one thing. and while friendly TO Tam
many and standing we'll in the Democratic coun-
ellis, he is not a member of the Hall and not
closely bound to it by ties that are indissoluble
An Independent movement in the Democratic
party might obtain big following in Brooklyn.
and become so powerful that the Brooklyn poll
,icians might find it best to bow before IT, In
that case Mr. York might not be found always
where Tammany would want him.
The stalwart members Of Tammany have from
the first advocated putting none but straight
Tammany men in the best and most important
places. Therefore, on a dual political board. Mr.
York would not be just such man as Tam
many wants Tammany wants two members
who at all times and under all circumstances
could be depended upon. Therefore, II now
seems likely that two Tammany men will be
the two Democratic Commissioners. one OF the
two Republicans will be from New-York City,
and the other Republican will come from Brook
lyn. This will be another advantage While
the two Democrats will be closely allied in every
way the Republicans will not always be In har-
mony. They will be members of different fac
lions, probably, and al times may clash.
The discussions and buttonholing to-day were
not much on the line OF appointments under the
municipal government. but under the county OF
New-York. There were two departments under
discussion. They were the Sherifs office and
the District-Artorney's. Mr.. Dunn has been
down here most of the time quietly awaiting
his turn. Asa Bird Gardiner was here to-day
and the states of these two offices were dis
cussed with Mr.. Croker. and some OF those who
have been left out in the cold In the making of
the city slate placed 1t is thought here
that number Of the Assistant District-Atto
neys who went out Of office after the death OF
Colonel Fellows will be replaced by Mr.. Car
diner.
Mr.. Croker in the morning went TO mass as
usual Then in the afternoon he headed
coaching party They had the Lakewood and
four horses With Mr.. Croker were Mr. and
Mrs. Nathan Strauss. John Whalen and Asa Bird
Gardiner. rhe weather cold and when
the coach drew up TO the doors an hour later all
had rudy faces and looked cold. Andrew
Freedman and John F. Carroll were out in the
afternoon. Herbert Croker and James j. CoOgan
went out together. The younger Croker did the
driving. This young man has attracted much
attention here because OF being his fathers son
partly but more because OF his ability and de-
sire 10 talk horse Politics does not appear 10
interest him little bit. and he leaves all that
TO his father.
