Brewster Holmes of Loston, and Tarbox, of Law- rnce, are a tdressing the anxious thousands outside, who are chating because they cannot get into the hall.

The Fall Campaign—Return of Politicians te the City—The State of Parties—Contest for the Spoils Within the Tammany Organi- gation—Troubles Ahend—The Republican Party—Anticipations of Success—Local Of fices to be Filled, With the fast approaching close to the summer vacation the politicians, big and litle, great and small, are setting earnestly to work making prepar- ations for the coming campaign. The political muster roll shows the return to their several posts of most of the leaders of either of the great parties of toe city. The Tammany leaders take the fleld in ac- cordance with the plan of operations decided upon after the fullest consideration had with the most in- fluential members of the democracy, called to their councils at Saratoga and other points, where trusted sachems had been instructed to visit and to light council fires at which the great political questions of the day were to be discussed by such as could not attend to the big powwow at Saratoga. Notwithstanding the overpowering influ- ence of Tammany at all these consultations, the po- litical horizon does not at all look so unclouded and serene as the City Hall ring couid desire. They find they have not got such complete control of the ma- chine as is necessary to a clique determined to run it on their own line all the time. The Tammany jug- gernaut is likely to turn and claim victims from among the priests of the temple itself. While there is no great party within the democratic organiza- tion to dispute with it the spoils of office, like that of Mozart under Fernando Wood last year, there are spirits so disaffected toward the ostensible leader of the ring and the aspiring prociivities of that gentleman that they are determined to oppose atevery step his further advance to political power. ‘The disaffected, as they are at present numbered and on the main question in dispute—the nomina- tion for Governor—would be of little account; but then there are other offices the proposed disposition of which stirs up the ire of claimants who are a power inthe democratic ranks, and who are deter- mined to oppose not only the slate as at present made out by all political iatiuences between this and | the 2d of September next, but to bolt from the part should the ring refuse to alter it at their dictation w in their favor, TROUBLES AWEAD. The leaders, however, are thoroughly awake to the troubles before them, and are taking mei not only to persevere and succeed in their p: course of policy, but to crush the mutineers and to render them powerless in the future so far as they can. The first trcuble ahead lies in the gubernato- rial quesiion. The ring has, as it had, indeed, from the first, determined to nominate Hoffman for Gov- ernc Now there are many influential men in the ranks strenuously opposed to this—such as Morris- sey, Sherif? O’Brien and others. These so for H. C. Murphy, of Brooklyn, for the nomination, contend- ing that it is doubly due to the Brooklyn Senator, not only as the accepted representative of Kings county democracy, but in the faith of pledges made to him persona!ly from time to time, when his sup- port was needed to curry threugh the Senate some pet measure of Tamniany, and also from the pevngae part he piayed at the late great National Fonvention, Then comes up the question of Corpo- ration Counsel. Tammany has put on the sinte for this ofiice a talented youne lawyer, who has um flinchingly stood by poiitical aspirants bolted a promotion wit! er hostile ormauntz, disposal of this jucrative office has given mortal olfence to u veteran politician aud erst time | the McKeon democracy, Showd Tammany deterred from its purpose by the dread of another secession on the part of the gentleman in question, we may lock for a warm and smusing time of it when he nominates hiinself and runs an independent ticket against the whole pow the ring, ‘Then we may probably see a. Morrissey-O?Brien-McKeon coalition. But there is still anotier danger to Tam- many more to be guarded against than even a coall- tion composed of a triumvirate powerful as that just named, The late chief of the Mozart party—ile astute and wily Fernando—has protessed to have given in his adhesion to the Tammany party. He proclaims that he has retired from political strife “with honors enongh to gratify his ambition.” He no more, he says, entertains potitica! aspirations, aud he merely attaches himseif: to Tammany for the one sole and worthy purpose of assisting in the defeat of the republicans in the coming Presidential election. But we a late striking example of the sincerity of politicians’ protestations in this regard, and Tammany will soon, if it has not already learned, that their late | a rival and opponent has yet an axe to grind before his finai retirement from the political stage. The quest.on will be for Tam- many whether the i heip Fernando to grind said axe or not. There in the midst is the Knight of the White Mustache, calm and inscrutable, before whom he of the brown mustache, like a gatled jade, winces, and in wiose presence even Peter 0b. Sweeny himself is not ail himself, Mr. Wood aspires to a seat in the United States Senate, and the readiest way he deemed to reach this destination was by en- tering the Tammany ranks. This is the whole secret, Opposed to Tammany he was combaced by the whole power and force of Tammany. Inside Tain- many he can turn the leaders’ own weapons against themselves, and he has become really more danger- ous as a conditional friend than he was as an unconditional foe. In pledging his whole influence to back up any political scheme of the Tammany ring, he insists upon the whole weight and influence of the ring with the next Legislature to have him elected to the United States Senate. Whether the contract has been accepted and ratified has not yet been di- vuiged, but if not so een Messrs. Embryo Con- spirators Morrissey. O’Brien and McKeon may have = powertal ally added to their ranks befere long. All Tammany 8 danger is irom within, and therefore doubly dangerous and diMcuit to guard against. The leaders are up and doing, however. They have trusted emissaries throughout the disaffected quarters, especially in O'Brien's (Twenty-‘irst) ward and in Morrissey’s district, and every effort and persuasion is used and resorted to to select delegates to the forthcoming convention at Albany entirely devoted to the ring. A week ortwo more and the curtam will rise and the democratic State and city pro- gramme will be announced, Then anew spirit will be imparted to the contest, and with whatever re- verses either party may have to contend, or what- ever opening prospects of success may occasionally gleam forth, each must stand or fall upon the issues raised and the standard bearers they have selected to lead them. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY have at least healed all their ditferences,and the whole organization iu this city and throughout the State ts working harmoniously. ‘To their old confidence in the success of their Presidential ticket is added some- thing like a hope that they may carry off the Feed natorial prize. They expect much from the dissen- sions in the Tammany ranks, and every sign of fal- tering and wavering to be observed there but en- courages them to closer and steadier action. Both parties are doing their ttmost in support of the Pre- sidential tickets. Mass meetings and banner rais- ings are the order day and night. OFFICES TO BE FILLED IN THIS CITY. Should Mayor Hoffman be nominated he will at once resign, when an election will be called to come of in December—Alderman Coman, as President of the Board of Aldermen, fliling the office ad interim. Next comes the vacancy to be filled on the bench of the Supreme Court, the City Judgeship vacancy, Register, a United States Senator, Assembiymen and two Supervisors, There is increasing speculation in the democratic ranks as to who will be the nominees of the party for these several offices. The spirit with which the republicans have entered into the contest, and their resolve to make the best fight possible, promises to make the campaign, from this to December next, a very exciting one. Immediately after the democratic nominations in the first week of September the ball will be opened in earnest. Party lines inside and outside of organizations will be de- fined and the whole influence and weight of parties aud cliques wiil be put to the test. Republican Central Commitiee. In pursuance of a resolution that all Grant and Colfax Boys in Blue Clubs be requestedjto elect five of their number as delegates to constitute a central committee, a large gathering assembled last evening at republican headquarters, Broadway and Twenty- second street, to make arrangements for the organi- zation. Beyond question @ more lively scene has seldom been witnessed by sage politicians than that which characterized the inauguration of the club. Shortly after eignt o'clock the hall became densely crowded, while the stairs and entrance, taken care of by a grim and suiky janitor, were entirely impassa- ble. Delegates from nearly every Assembly dis- trict, ten being contested, were in attendance. It happened, however, that matters were not destined to run smoothly, as there were two parties in the field for the same honors. The proceedings opened with shouting and general confusion, in which nearly every one interested took a prominent part. The difference between the con- tending parties appeared to be in the election of president of the new club; and whatever may be said of the frowns, growls and unparliamen- tary expressions, one thing is certain—that the ad- herents of the candidates did well for their choice. Captain Daniel J. Hogan catled the meeting to order. Then came motions for temporary chairman, and the scene that followed was one of the greatest confusion, Angry and excited faces, wild rolling eyes, uplifted arms, threatening and defiant in their evolutions; outing, howling, groaning, cheering, hooting an relling—in fact every attribute of a political melee ent its aid to render the event worthy being dotted down in the records of the police. General Burke was nominated temporai Pieasenion. Major W. Builard was one condidate for the permanerrt Y phan arf of the club, General Lawrence was the other. Both had race partisans, who appeared determined that their nominee should carry the honors. Generai Burke proceeded to take the chair, and then followed terrific shouts. At length, after a scene the like of which it is to be strongly hoped will not characterize ather events, Major Bullard was elecied the permanent chairman of the club, apon wh he took his seat amid a tumultuous commingling of cheers and Libba ‘The aifair now began to ASsUe ® serious wuPAt, Blows chairman, so was Colonel | were beginning to be exchanged, The gas was par tially turned of and a dangerous row the immediate pl The sudden arrival of the police fortu- checked the ardor of the rising combatants, and defeated portion of the delegation retired, cantending, nevertheless, ast they ma originally organized », though the majority was aj against them. sans plied ” The relighting of the gas was imprudently or erroneously attempted to be stopped by the janitor, Subsequently the police went away. Major juilard addressed the audience, and order was re- stored. Having appointed the officers, together with an executive committee, consisting of a delegate from each district, the meeting adjourned. New Campaign Banner in the Fifteenth Ward. A splendid Seymour and Blair banner was raised yesterday (Saturday) morning corner of Broadway and Bleecker street, which bore upon it” excellent likenesses of the democratic candidates in connection with the following inscription:—“No mys- teries in the government inaccessible to the public eyes, and no taxation beyond the people's wants.’ The banner was presented to the democracy of the ward by Mr. J. W. Smith, Eloquent speeches were made upon the occasion by Connei!man Canary, Colonel James E. Kerrigan and Mr, Smith, The Germans of the Sixth Ward. ‘The German democrats of the Sixth ward met in small number at No, 6 Mott street, Mr. Jacob Koehler being chairman. No further business was done except assenting to the plan of union as pub- lished in the HEnALp of yesterday, and the election of delegates was postponed to next Tuesday, after which tie meeting adjour ST.

Brutally Assaulted=Her Injuries Supposed to Be Fatal. Saturday night would not be Saturday night with- out its proper accompaniment of a row or felonious assault, terminating in the death of the victim. Thus it is not a matter of surprise, however much it may be deprecated, that one such incident of this nature occurred last night, nor is it at ail new that the circumstances attending it should be of the most brutal character. Michael Lannon and James Leonard are brothers-in-law, being married to sis- ters, and reside near one another, Lannon being the occupant of apartments on the third floor of the tenement house No. 340 West Thirty-sixth street, and Leonard of apartments on the first floor of the adjoining house, No. Lannon is a hard work- 7, industrious man, exrning his living by moving so Leonard, who, tt appears, is habits, and although also a without the means of following through the loss of his horse and cart, i for debi.
