doubtless, must remain an open one until election day,

among politicians need be surprised TO hear OF the
demagogues both sides making it their football and

spite Of the promises and pledges made by of the

considerable portion Of the anti -Tammanyites been
recognized by the Convention it is certain that things

here, and every effort will be made by Tammany to
elect the five Senators the Governor desires she
should The prospects OF in this particular are
good it may be said despite the that some OF the
anti Tammany democrats are reckless TO DO
willing TO aid the republican candidates rather than
have Tammany win. The Fourth district is certain to
send democrat no matter how the battle will close
for republican in running in the district would have
chance of getting elected with four democratic
competitors in the field But the contest in the district
must inevitably be bitter one, and since the appoint
ment of the new State Committee things have been
shaped in the district that there is great likelihood of
a big time all round for the 'boys" In the first place
there a host of small fry candidates who, like flies
round a moasses cask have already begun TO do
q great deal Of buZzng all for their good,
and TO whom no one outside of the range Of their
limited fight pays the slightest attention In reality
there only three candidates in the district of any
strength and each OF whom has considerable of that
desirable sine qua non, which the politicians call bacL

Nicholas Muller and Assemblyman T. j, Campbell
The drawback to Fox in the opinion Of those who
were made strong by the reorganization Of the First
district last fall that he has been out of Tammany

point to his for the Senaorshp in 1879, when he
had the police and the Street Cleaning Department
machinery against him, and when Jones, his opponent
supported by all the anti rammany elements, whom
he beat in his tJonesD Assembly district by $40
votes In the Third district, whore James Hayes was
supposed TO be all powerful and who against him
in the fight he got majority of over l. 400 votes by
dint Of his knowledge active politician how TO
turn everything good and bad to good account Ii is
conceded that he and Hogan working together in the
Senatorial fight, would be ugly team to
beat and report has had 1t during
the week, that Morrissey's friends are
exertng themselves to prevent his nomination, while
all the time giving it out that if Fox dares' to
Morrissey will oppose him, feeling that If he does not

when Muller placed on the committee his friends

that Muler's appointment made to bridge the
difficulties IN the Senatorial district so that in case the
