ues prominent subject OF discussion, and the longer
1t remains In the field the more widely it is can
vassed and the closer people come to an apprecia-
tion OF It's merits. 1t is essentially q ticket OF
slawn and for the politician proper, OF the genus
peculiar to New York; has less OF interest than the
Assembly or Senatorial ticket All the offices to be
filed, except that Of Alderman, are more or less
identified with the law and It's operations. For
this reason citizens outside OF active participation
In politics take concern in the results Of the forth
coming election. They hope to see the various
olices for which candidates are nominated and
mentioned filled by the right men. Those who
hunger for place and emolument would have
a keener edge set on their appettes II Mayor or
Comptroller had to be elected. The combined
Offices OF Sheriff and County CLERK cannot afford
tithe OF the vacancies for the great unemployed
army Of patriots, and the places are, perhaps,
already pledged in advance; SO that those who
rely on promises and come to claim the guerdon OF
victory alter the smoke OF the battle has cleared
away will ind themselves forestalled. No canvass
for years has offered such fine


OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMBINATIONS


Here are two candidates for the Supreme Court,
two for the Superior, two for the Marine two on
the county ticket OF equally lucrative patronage
and three for Coroner. 1t Is expected as o conse-
quence Of the chances given for variety OF choice

the Tammany, the alliance Of Apollo and the re-
publ1cans the reformers and the liberal republi-
cans; and when the nominations Of these four are
made complete the caldron will begin to boil and
bubble and all the wards OF the city will hum with
the busy notes of the political panjandrum. There
Is but little time leit-less than two weeks-before
the eventful day Of election. 1t Is expected the
registration will count in the neighborhood OF
100000 The vote will probably reach no higher
than 10000. The registration Is not reliable
counterpart OF the vote. Many register twice, by
reason OF change Of residence during


THE SEASON OF REGISTRATION;


many are compelled to leave the city after their
names are recorded, and many more on account OF
the weather or Of illness of Indifference fail to 60
to the polls, SO that, as rule the vote falls below
the registration. Taking 90, 600 as standard and
giving Apollo Hall and the republicans something
like their strength OF last year. it will be that
the election will be close one II Apollo Hall and
the republicans united can poll over 10000
votes the Tammany ticket will be placed
IN imminent peril. But there is no appre-
hension OF danger among the Tammany can
didares. They cherish confident hope Of
being carried safely into port for there Is an
common trust still in the good luck Of the old
Tammany craft.

THE PEOPLES VIEWS


Said O gentleman, wno from his knowledge of
politics, might be justified In the assertion that
he could name the men who would be elected
s'The ticket, as whole, Is not as strong as IL
might be. The candidates for judges are all right.
Lawrence Is the choice or the Bar and Is bound TO
be elected. The judiciary nominations will pass.
conner ior Sheriff Is good nomination. You see,
he has been mechanic, and VIII have strong
pull among mechanics and people who work at
trades. lie Is typefounder and has large
acquaintance among the printers and the news
