q knowledge o. the slate ne has settled
upon. have created a state OF dissenson
and rancor In the Wigwam unknown for more
than twenty years. All day long yesterday
Croker was bitterly and continuously denounced
by the leaders. who resent his medd!ing with
the affairs Of the organization. The atmosphere
Of the East Fourteenth-st. temple was blue with
the imprecatlons OF the braves and warriors
who believe that Croker has spoiled what was
bright outlook for Tammany when he got back
in New-York from England only few weeks
ago and has picked out n ticket that mus. meet
with popular execration and deserved defeat.
So wide did the gap between the Croker and
Sheehan camps become yesterday that the air
Of the W!gwam and OF the headquarters or the
quarrelling chiefs at the Murray Hill Hotel and
the Hoffman House filled with reports that

AN OUTBREAK OF ANGER
\ howl Of rage went up when the warriors
learned that Croker determined to nominate
his favorites at all hazards. and that he pro-
poscd 10 lam them down the throat Of the or

position they have called out: but ii was inn

PREDICTIONS or \ BREAK.
