Tanmany SCORES a Point.

The plan to drive John NJ. Callagh New
Hork's Chief ofpolice out, was consumma-
ted last week when Mayor Van Wyck re
moved the two republican members of the
Police Board, who had refused to aid in the
scheme and appointed Jacob Hess, who
carried out the bargain by voting with the
two Democratic Commissioners TO retire
the Chief on "a pension w S. DeVery
was then made Acting Chief, which
means that he will soon be at the head OF

be run wide open Tammany could not

such might be eternally saved He men

According to the calculations OF
the Philadelphia Press made after
interviewing forty delegates claim
ed for W. A Stone, all Of whom dis
claimed being pledged to that gentle
man, while number declared
themselves as being favorable to
the nomination of some other man
it appears that he has now 139 dele
gates, or forty-four short of the
necessary number to nominate him
The two delegates from Wayne Co
w F. Reiher, and c. L. Simons,
are for Congressman Connell, and
the delegate from Monroe E. p
Hollinshead, who was supported by
the anti-Quay men, is for c. w.
Stone, of Warren.
The situation now seems to have
resolved itself into contest with
TIE two Stones leading, and Messrs.
Wanamaker, Leisenning, Connell
and jackson, following in about the
order named. From all the reports
it would appear that Senator Quay
holds the balance of power and con g.
trolls enough delegates to make the
nomination of w. A. Stone if he so
determines, but so far he has given
no authentic indication of his inten-
tions, if in fact he does intend to
take an active part in making the
nomination.
