CITY POLITICS, A Review of the Political Field and of the State of Opposing Parties. THE MAYORAL TRIANGULAR FIGHT. The Cry of Reform a Delusion and a Snare---The Duty of the People in the Premises. The Nominations Made---The Judiciary, Con- gress and Assembly. Notwithstanding the near approach of the day of election, things political remains as badly mixed up asever. It appears almost impossible to break the Ariadne web within which the solution of the general difficnity to the leaders of parties and the head of the various organizations is to be found, ‘The aggrandizement of this leader and 01 that—the division of the spoils to this or that organization, irrespective of reform considerations, which are totally ignored—are the sole and only causes of the distrast, envy and distraction which prevajl in ,the political rimgs and factions of the city. Alex- ander’s generals, after the death of the great leader, were not more utterly torn by feuds and dis- sension over the’ spoils of conquered kingdoms than are the petty political leaders of the day over the spoils left behind by the defunct Tammany Ring. THE STANDARD OF REFORM Maturally attracted the masses of the citizens, ground down by the frauds and wholesale robberies of the old Tammany magnates. Upon the popular tide of indignation aroused by the exposure of these gigantic peculations it was an easy thing for @ few self-constituted leaders to proclaim them- selves the champions of reform and gradually to get control of the municipal machine. Since then the people have looked in vain for the promised re- formation. THE “SEVENTY,” that much self-lauded band of reformers, have failed in all their pledges to the people. Afew heads of the old régime were stricken off, to be sure, the Tammany Ring broken up and the chiefs compelled to fice from the punishment that awaited them; but the idols they worshipped remained, and they have been again set up in all politica: high places and the people are once summoned to fall down and worship them. REFORMED TAMMANY is but a catch-word, and the ultra—the out-and-out and straight-out—reformers of Apollo Hall a delu- sion and asnare. Democratic Tammany hangs on for its respectability and its existence to the broken reed of the Greeleyite Sanhedrim of Seventy; and Apollo Hall—Young Democracy—depends for its existence and its supplies throughout the cam- paign upon the subsidies it draws from the radical republican camp in the Custom House as doled out ey Tom Murphy of that ilk. This is the reformation ‘that the citizens had been assured would culmi- ‘mate in their disenthralment from political ring influence and oppression. It will be well for them if they do not fing themselves fm the sad condition. of the man in the Scriptures who was possessed of devils. These, by supernatural means—something like those which worked the downfall of Tammany—he got rid ‘of, and he swept and garnished up his house in the hopes of enjoying his new found happiness, but afteratime the devils returned and again took possession of him, and the latter end of that man ‘was worse than the first. It is claimed, however, that Tammany and the Seventy have at last har- monized; that the abortive attempt of the Filth avenue faction to galvanize the venerable Mr. Havemeyer as candidate for Mayor, not of a party, but of Folly Hall, was not sanctioned by them, and that they will unite in supporting the candidate of reformed Tammany—Abraham R. Lawrence. The nomination of Mr. Lawrence opens the MAYORAL BALL ‘as between the new candidate and Mr. O’Brien, the Apollo Hall nominee. There is warm work before these two candidates for public favor. One of them is very well known to the whole people of the city of New York. Mr. Lawrence is not so extensively known, nor could he possibly be so, having hereto- fore assiduously devoted himself to his profession asa lawyer, in which he has earned for himself a most enviable reputation. The favorite direction of his legal studies has eminently qualified him for the discharge of the duties of the office he aspires to fill. Perhaps no man in the city is more thor- oughly conversant with the charter laws of this city than he. He entered with great zeal and sincerity into the work of municipal reform a year ago, and has since then taken a prominent ~ al in the legal prozecutions which followed the overy of the Tammany frauas. At the present ‘time he is in very lucrative practice, but, with the true ‘ete! a reformer, he accepts the nomina- tion in the hope of perfecting the work and of giv- ittg to the people the substance, not the shadow, of seform. Will the republicans nominate a MAYORAL CANDIDATE IN GOOD FAITH? This is the question. If the republicans ae upa sham and run Senator O’Brien through their boxes atthe polls then of course the republicans elect Senator O’Brien. If they, with two democratic can- didates in the fleld, put up @ worthy man, equally acceptable to the citizens at large (outside of mere personal or partisan feeling) as either of the other candidates, then the probabilities are that Man will be elected. But the danger to Lawrence lies in the compact between O’Brien on the one hand and Tom Murphyon the other. The election of Congressmen and both rat is at the present time more important to Murphy and the adminis- tration than that of Mayor: that is, the Custom House party are willing to make a@ repubtican voter a thing of bargain and sale, by which the government of the city of New York may be ‘wrested from trusted and competent hands and ven over as a quid quo for securing nator another term in the by a Legislative vote. How far this will succeed depends entirely npon the republicans themselves whether they can be bought and sold, to become an appanage at any time 10 the powers that be. This is the rock upon which this political Mails fo most likely to split. it is evident that the nomination of O’Brien di- rectly by the republican party would disgust the imore respectable—say the majority of the repub- Rican ee ie a the idea is to accomplish indirectly what under the circumstances it would e deemed tate to attempt directly. This, it is said, will done in this way:—The Custom House party will nominate some respectable ossil made easy as to the result, and on he day of election run O'Brien’s tickets fhe republican boxes. This dodge ts res under way in the canvass for Congress- maninthe Nineteenth and Twelfth wards, which ili be more specially noted under the head of Congressional ticket. It, however, as was said before, the republicans proper or the administra- mn republicans, throwing overboard and ignor- ing combinations destructive to the principles of he party, no matter by whom made, nominate a and true man for the Mayoral candidacy, here is not the siightest doubt but that man, in he furtherance of the spirit of reform, will be the inning man in the contest. This certainly is the wrence. COMMISSIONER VAN WORT again prominently BS hag ofas a coming nomi- ee. Should he get the nomination then goodby o the schemes and piottings of O'Brien, Murphy 0.

Bezon- be- It he pollo goes: he goes Apollo Tammany then goes reters they should both Tet him him to go for himself. It is a sad predicament, and the gallant Colonel appre- ciates while he serione the necessity of eine such @ political bull by the horn, Mr. Olliver is stil in the fleld, sanguine that he has it all to himself. He 18 well supported by promises, but whether to be broken at the convenient moment or not re- mains to be seen. The gallant General McMahon, who though lately ap} ted to a lucrative office, still keeps his political armor on, eager for a bout for the honor of representing tue district with his two rival aspirants for the same honor, The con- stituency would be happy enough with the per- suasive Colonel were the other two charmers away; but they don’t see it, and therefore will stick, In the Sixth district Brooks, a formidable oppo- nent, has consented to contest the prize with the present incumbent, in the person of Colonel Chris- tian Schurldweitzer. Brooks has got the Tam- many nomination, The Colonel—whose name is not likely ever to become a household word, whether he goes to Congress or not, from its jaw-breakin; pronunciation—will receive the Apollo Hall nomi- nation, Sopported by the O’Brien-Murphy repub- lieans, and the nomination of the German organiza- tion, to which nationality it is needless to say Mr. Schuridweltzer belongs. ‘The Seventh district, Smith Ely, Jr., presents a muddle, ‘Tom Creamer having gone tor tne Mayor- vity and incontinently retired before the O’Brien went for the district; but his heart, like Raleigh's, when he coquetted with the Virgin Queen, tailed him, and he thougnt he would run a German tor it. There was no German ip the district on suMciently light ranning order to enter the course against Ely, Jr., and ultimately Tom put himself im train- ing, and now deems that on the 6th November next, like another Guy Fawkes, he will blow up By. and run into Congress himse}f, ‘he Eighth district, Sunset Cox's old district, now candidate for Congressman at Large, a position he is likely to hold for a very indefinite period, is gop- tested for by Colonel Conkling and Horatio A. Twombly, is is the new aristocratic district, geriymiatidered out of other districts, and no doubt there will be a very quiet day there on the Sth of November Bex and no need of the police. The Ninth district—Here, after a severe contest in the Tammany Nominating Convention, between the friends of big Judge Connolly and Oliver Char- leck, the Big Judge, with his proverbial ‘“go-head- ativeness,” got the better of his gunonens, leaving him, in popular parlance, under the table, while the Judge himself was as fresh at the end of the bout as when he commenced, John Hardy, the quole Hart man, will stand no show as against the 1g Judge, ‘he ‘Tenth district is now represented by Mr. Fernando Wood, it will be contested by Apollo Hall in the person of Mr. Wadsworth, whom, ac- cording to the compact with the Murphy-Custom- House party, the O’Brienites put up asa figure head. ‘This is a scheme to defraud the con- stituency of a democratic representation in the next session of Congress in the person of Mr. Wood, the plan being, that by splitting the demo- cratic vote in the district, or alienating such demo- cratic votes a8 Apollo Hall can control by the ressure of the O’Brien screw, a third party, Mr. William A, Darling, may be elected and Mr. Wood defeated. This is the programme. Mr. Wadsworth will no doubt open his eyes to the true state of affairs and retire in time from the contest, in which case, and in fact in any case, Mr. Wood will be re-elected. Mr. Wood has proved himself a devoted representative of his Peetteereyn 4 and an able advocate of all measures tending to the progress and prosperity of this great commercial city, aS well as a faithtul and eloquent exponent of the popular sentiment on all national questions arising in Congress during his double term there. THE JUDICIARY. The Tammany nominations for the vacancies on the Judiciary are now all made, and the candidates put forward will undoubtedly, as they all jointiy and individually deserve, receive the majority of the votes of the people at the polls in November next. THE SUPREME COURT. Judge Leonard, at present holding by sopolny.. Ment the seat to become vacant, commands the respect and confidence of the bar, and his nomina- tion was hailed with pleasure. His fellow citizens will endorse the action of the nominating conven- tion. For the Superior Court ex-Judge James C, Spencer has got the nomination. CITY JUDGE. The present incumbent, Judge Gunning S. Bed- ford, has been putin nomination for re-election. No nomination made by Tammany has given so much gratification to the citizens of New York, irrespective of party, than this, Itis an earnest that crime and outrages will be checked by a strong, judicious hand, and that wherever crime is payee against high or low due punishment wiil follow. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYSHIP. The Tammany nomination has been conferred upon Mr. Charles Donohue for this office. No bet- ter selection could have been made. The rival can- didates themselves—disappointed though each might naturally be—must: acknowledge that, in the interest of reform, in the most important branch of the Judiciary of the city and county, settin aside all Lola expediency, the Convention acte wisely and well, and put the right man—in this juncture of affairs, in the right place. THE CORONERSHIP. Tammany has nominated Mr. Woltman for this oMice in the face of a most earnest popular pres- sure in favor of Mr. Richard Croker, to whom, but for some political expediency, but which Mr. Croker’s supporters could not see, the deal, in Political parlance, belonged. Mr. Croker has been an unflinching adherent of reformed Tammany, and has brought to it a support it much needed. It was said that the Germans demanded it, and hence the defeat of Mr. Croker, which was tem- pered, however, with the knowledge that the Ra ri and best men of the party were for him, and that they only succumbed to the necessity of submitting to the German influence. Dr. Johu C. Hannin will bear the Apollo Hall nomination. He is very ange an educated and able pian, and with the support oi Apo:lo Hall and their allies the chances of his success at the polls looks most promising. THE ASSEMBLY DISTRICTL. The fight in the Assembly districts is unabated in intensity. There will be a tremendous struggle between the Tammany candidates and those of nee Hall and the Custom House. n the Third district James J. Slevin has the in- side track of his competitor on the Pee ticket. In the Fifteenth district James F. Keegan seems to have carriea the constituency by storm, as he used to storm the enemy's works inthe old war times. Mr. See served throughout the war with marked distinction, joining the ranks imme- diately after graduating, with no less distinction, from Georgetown College, D. C. He would make an excellent representative in the Assembly. He is opposed by Andrew J. Coffey. In the Seventeenth district Mr. John G. H. Meyers is in favor for the Tammany nomination. He is very popular throughout the district, and with the nomination his election is certain. In the Eighteenth district Larry Kiernan, the “Angel of Destruction,” will receive the Apollo Hall nomination. RESUME, The following Is a list of the nominations already made in this city :.

The indefatigable and persistent committee which Mr. John Foley honors with his presidency follows its second nomination of Mr. William F. Havemeyer with the utterance of a dreadful deter- mination that he shall be notified of their action, and this notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Have- meyer has declined all offers of candidature. The following address 1s issued by the committee speci- ally charged with this mission :— The Endorstzned, the committee appointed and dele- gated by the United Reform Convention to tender the nomination of the reformers for Mayor of the city to William F. Havemeyer, will moet and formatly tender such nomination at the Chamber of Commerce next Tuesday, 22d inst., at twelve o'clock noon.

Van Vorst for Judge of the Superior Court and Benjamin K. Phelps tor the Office of District Attorney. Last evening the reguiar Republican County Con- vention met at the Headquarters corner of Broad- way and Twenty-third street to hear the report of the Committee of Twenty-one, which was ap- pointed at the meeting of the Convention held on Thursday evening to hold conference with the Com- mittee of Seventy and other organizations opposed to Tammany Hall in the ensuing local elections, Mr. Thomas Murphy presided and General C. C, Pinckney and Colonel Harry Page acted as Secretaries of the meeting. There was a full attendance of delegates, all the Murphy republicans sitting well in front and the “straight- outs” clustering in the vicinity of the bilious Opdyke, who preserved his usual gloomy silence. The back part of the hall was crowded with the retinue of anxious delegates’ friends who wanted “to know What was going on at the front.” Mr. Hughey Gardiner, as Chairman of the Confer- ence Committee of Twenty-one, read his report of the business transacted with the Committee of Seventy and reported that the following names on the county ticket had been recommended by the | Committee of Seventy, having been first presented by their own committee for a county ticket, which the Committee of Seventy were willing to sup- Port et Sse” For Mayor.—William FP. Havemyer. For Supreme Court Judge.—Noah Davis. For Superior Court Judge.—Hooper ©. Van Vorst. For District Attorney.—Benjamin K. Phelps. Mr. Gardiner, in his report, alluded to the dim. culty of departing from party lines, although the committee were willing to take a good and popu- lar citizen as a candidate for the high office of the Mayoralty. The names of Havemeyer for Mayor, and Judge Noah Davis for Judge of the Su- reme Court, were received with great enthusiasm. The name of George Van Nort having been men- tioned for the nomination for the office of bon hag the following letter was read to the Convention, which was received in a very quiet manner :— No. 237 Buoanway,, New York, Oct. 19, 1872. To the Hon, Tuomas Murry, Chairman of the Republican y Yonvention :— Thave known for several weeks that my friends anticipating a contingency which, in thelr judg- , Would render it proper for them to present my namé axa candidate for Mayor. It now, however, is ap- parent that public opinion ts taking @ different direction and that the friends of practical municipal reform can be united upon the Hon. William F. Haveymeyer, a distin- guished New Yorker, whose large experience ‘and pro- verblal integrity eminently fit him for the office. I theretore requested my friends in the Committee of et yesterday to withdraw my name in 5 Havemeyer, though a life- among the first to dis cover in the ry a determination to ex- tend that great evil over new Territories and States or to divide the Union: and when the shock came, instead of sympathising with disunionists, he stood by the old tlag, heartily sustaining whe government throughout thé struggle. More recently, when the leaders of a demoralized democratic party were preparing to adopt and endorse @ “junk shop” nominee for President, Mr. Havemeyer sounded a bold and loud key note against such a desecra- tion of a once consistent, powerful and P riotic party—a party which would have “frowned indignantly” upon a suggestion to accept as itsown a ready-made candidate and plattorm, Inasmuch, therefore, as Mr. Havemeyer was a loyal demcerat throughout tne rebellion, voted for and sus- tuined Presidents Lincoln and Grant, and has avowed himself in tayor of General Dix for Governor, I shall very cheerfully support him for Mayor. With Grant, Dix and Havemeyer as candidates for President, Governor and Mayor, Canticipate not only an earnest canvass on the part of all the friends of good gov- ernment, but a triumphant result, My own ambition is limited to a desire to discharge the duties of my present ofiice in an acceptable manner. Ke- spectiully, GEORGE M, VAN NORT, Colonel! BLIss, in his usual rapid manner, proposed that each and every man in tne Convention have the privilege conceded to him of naming his candi- dates for the oitices of City Judge, Coroner and the filteen Aldermen, This motion was received with great favor. Bliss proposed the name of a sterling republican (sterling republican is fared good in those conventions) tor the office of City Judge. This was received with cheers. The handsome General Chester Arthur, who wore a nice light Fall overcoat, seconded the motion. (Cheers.) Mr. HUGHEY GARDINER—I think that you will find in Isaac Dayton a candidate for City Judge that none can beat. His character as a republican is above reproach. (Here Mr. Gardiner buttoned up his velvet coat.) Mr. Lyons, a delegate from the Eleventh dis- trict—I propose a time-honored republican yor City Judge. I pronone the name of Colonel George Bliss, commonly known as ‘Decoy Bliss,” as a can- didate for the nomination of the City Judge. (Laughter and cheers.) Colonel Biss (on his feet in an instant)—No, you don’t play that on me, Lyons. I have too much sense. (Laughter.) Mr. GEORGE OrpYKE (in his very awful manner) — Imove that Mr. Isaac Dayton be the nominee of the Convention for City Judge. (Cheers.) A DELEGaTE—I think that this nomination should be sent to the Committee on Conference, as it has to be accepted by them and presented by them to the Committee of Seventy. Mr. HvuGHEY GARDINER (opening his velvet coat)—I think that the Committee of Seventy will accept the name of Isaac Dayton, which is in itself a guarantee of success, If they do not they are foolish. (Cheers) A DELEGATE—The name of Mr. Dayton, whom we all respect, is not before the Convention for nomi- nation, It must of necessity go to the committee of conference and there be disposed of. A DELEGATE with a black moustache and a fearful shirt front—We are all good republicans, but still I think that the Committee of Seventy is a highly respectable body, and should have proper consider- ation before this Convention, as our committee has agreed with them on the other names adopted. The Committee of Seventy controls a large and respectable vote, and we should act with them in a spirit of good understanding and friendliness, General ARTAUR (Who always speaks at the right time and to the point)—I believe that this is not at this juncture a altel Convention. Weare merely discussing names which are to be referred to the Conference Committee. (Applause.) A DELEGATE—I move that Dr. Louis Nauman’s name be sent to the Committee df Conference tor consideration as candidate for the office of Coro- ner. (Appiause.) I believe everyone is allowed to state his preference. A VELEGATE—I nominate Dr. Emil Heiber for the office of Coroner. (Applause.) Colonel GEORGE BLIss—We should be careful in te any German for the office of Coroner who is perfectly satisfactory to the entire German people, and merely to give a little diversion to the proceedin I will offer the name of a well-known and high! respected German gentieman, Dr. Adolph Kessler, for the ofice of Coroner. (Slight ap- plause and cries of “Tammany, Tammany.” from the Convention.) After some further trifling business the Convention adjourned until eight o’clock on Wednesday evening, to give the Committee of | Twenty-one time to confer with the mysterious Committee of Seventy on the ticket for City Judge, Coroner and fifteen Aldermen. THE SEVENTY. ‘The usual Committee on Elections of the Seventy were in session up to eleven o'clock last night at | the Everett House. Mr. Oswald Ottendorfer, the newly elected mem- ber of the committee, was present. A large German delegation came in from the | Tenth Assembly district (Seventeenth ward), rec- | ommending Lewis C. Wachner for member of Assem- | bly from the Tenth district, and George Henchen, | Jr., as Assistant Alderman from the Seventeenth. A delegation arrived later to advocate the nomi- nation of John Vanderpool, of the Seventh Alder- manic district, for Assistant Alderman. The third delegation came to advance the claims of Dr. Hoeber, of the Twentieth ward, for the oilice | of Coroner. The republican nominations of Messrs. Have- | meyer, Davis, Van Vorst and Pheips were sent to | the committee, and a lively discussion ensued, Havemeyer and Davis were warmly endorsed, but there was a split upon Van Vorst and Phelps. fhe four names given will, however, be presented to the General Committee on Monday evening, and, there is little doubt, will receive its endorsement. | LIBERAL REPUBLICAN JUDICIARY COM. MITTEE, A meeting of the Liberal Repubiican Judiciary | Committee was called for last evening at eight | o'clock at 814 Broadway. At that hour there | were about twenty persons assembled in the room and a il knot of adozen or more were closeted in secret council in an inner sanctum. The object of the meeting was to raitify the Tammany Hall nominations for the | Judiciary, but so few persons were present it | was resolved to take no action last night. At hali- past eigit o'clock the meeting was called to order vy the Chairman of the committee, Joseph W. Hone, and on motion of General John A, Foster it immediate}; Sieariee until Monday night at eight o'clock. hat transpired at the se mert- ing was not made public, but it is understood that the Tammany Hall nominations will be ratified. NINTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRIOT, The delegates to the Ninth Congressional District Democratic Reform Convention met at Apollo Headquarters, corner of Forty-fitth street and Figteh avenue, on Friday evening, for the purpose of nominating a candidate. ‘Mr. George W. McGlynn, who was the unanimous choice of the Convention, having positively declined the nom- nation, Mr. John Hardy, upon Mr. McGilynn’s mo- ton, was declared the nominee of the Convention, THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. The Liberal Republican Headquarters. Among the distinguished visitors at the Glenbam Hotel Headquarters yesterday were General Kil- patrick, Chauncey Shaffer, and ex-Governor J. M. Ashley. The latter is on his way to Ohio to resume his canvassing. He thinks Ohio has done very well, and in November will do better. There isa strong working organization in that State, which is wide awake and active in the districts which were neglected in the October canvass, The heart of hope beats strong yet in the liberal headquarters, Lenk bigger battle than ever has been determined upon, The Democratic Headquarters, Business continues lively on the surface at the Spingler House Headquarters, although there is nothing of importance to the public. Strong hopes of success are expressed, and an active final cam- paign is in progress, Among the visitors yesterday were Chauncey Shaffer, John Pope Hodnett and John Q. Thompson. The Regular Republican Headquarters. There was no business of any importance at the Fifth Avenue Headquarters yesterday, Mr. Chandler is still in Washington, and Mr. Glidden had charge, George A. Halsey, of New Jersey, was the only visitor of any note. Senator Wilson is ex- pected on Monday, NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION. Meeting Last Night to Nominate a Ju- Siclary Ticket—Ng Nominations, but Two Committees Appointed... 4 Amecting of the National Democratic Associa- tion was held last evening at 39 Union square, for the stated objgct Of making judiciary nominations, Chief Justice Shea, of the Marine Court, was voted to the chair and Mr. W. J. Gibson was elected Sec- retary, Speeches were made denouncing the course of the leaders of Tammany Hal! and saying that their ticket, with few exceptions, did not de- serve the support of the people, and that it was ap- parent on the face of it the same old frauds controlled Tammany. A committee was then ap- jointed of one irom each ward to nominate candi- dates and to confer with other organizations in op- position to Tammany. This committee met and nominated a sub-committee of conference, which will meet on Monday, The meeting then passed resolutions, first, that the organization binds itself to support all the candidates nominated by the national democracy ; second, that the organization binds itself not to support the nomination of Tammany for District Attorney, believing that it was procured by trick- ery, falsehood and fraud; third, that the course pursued by Tammany in absorbing all the ofices and conceding nothing to other organizations, and centralizing all the powerin the hands of a few leaders, should be opposed by the people. The Convention then adjourned, subject to the call of the Chair. The following gentlemen composed the Commit- tee on nominations :—First ward, Nicholas Muller; second, P. Moynanan; Third, Daniel E. Ferris} Fourth, Felix Murphy; Filth, George A. Barney; Sixth, Constantine Donahue; Seventh, John Pur- cell; Highth, Thomas Kelly; Ninth, Thomas Fitz- J een Tenth, Henry R.

Gi TWENTIETH WARD O'BRIEN CAMPAIGN OLUB, A large and enthusiastic meeting of the above organiwation was held last night at the corner of Twenty-seventh street and Seventh avenue, Cap- tain James ©. Marriott presiding. Mr. Matthew Smith, President of the club, called the meeting to order, and was followed by numerous speakers, who set forth in glowing terms the merits of Mr. James O’Brien and bis claims on the workingmen as @ candidate for the Mayoralty. Mr. WILLIAM A. BARRETT, on behalf of the working- men, addressed the meeting in forcible and telling language, contrasting the course of Mr. O’Brien, in his treatment of the poor of his district, with that of Mr. Lawrence, who had proved himself some- what ihffrerent to their interests and their welfare. Mr. Jon Harpy, candidate for Congress, fol- lowed, and the meeting closed with hearty cheer- ing for O’Brien and Hardy. loyna- Thomas Kelley, ibson. THE NEWARK DEMOCRACY. The County Senatorial Convention Throws Itself Into Abraham’s Bosom. It would be next to impossible to cite a populous section in the country where parties are so utterly lacking in organization as in the city of Newark! N.J. At the recent charter election the republi” cans carried the city by over two thousand ma- jority; but that is chiefly explained by the fact that unpopular nominations were made by the democrats and by internal disruptions in the party. In one ward, the Fourth, the candidate for Alderman was beaten by a few votes, and these will propably be cast out for lawful reasons when the new Council meets. It is a lamentapie thing to say, but it is nevertheless asserted positively, that he owes his defeat to the electioneering efforts of a clergy- man, whose forgetfulness of his Christlike office is the subject of severe public condem- nation. The election was governed purely by local causes and | globes preferences, as is shown by the election of popular democrats in the two republican banner wards of the city. So far in the national canvass there has been no organization in either party. The republicans, though, have had the aavantage by placing at once in the flelda first class Congressional, Senatorial and county ticket. It was not till yesterday that the democrats and liberals accomplished this result. They had chosen their man tor Congress for County Clerk, Sheriff, &c., but there was a hitch about the Senator. To straighten this out it took three separate conventions. The delay is compen- sated for, however, leading democrats consider, in the fact that the party’s Moses and Abraham have been found. By acclamation the nomination was given to ex-Sherif! Abraham M. Reynolds, whose popularity with all parties is pretty fairly shown by his election the other day by a handsome majority, in a ward which is al’ or eight hundrea republican majority. The Sheritf will certainly strengthen the ticket greatly, and next to Dusenbury 18 the surest man to succeed. POLITICAL NOTES. W. B, Stokes (republican) has announced himseif as candidate for Congress from the Nashville (Tenn.) district. The republicans of the Fitteenth Congressional district yesterday nominated Mr. Charles H. Adams, of Cohoes, for Congress. At the Republican Convention of the First Assembly district, held in Oswego, N. Y., yesterday, D. G, Fort was nominated by acclamation. The executive sub-committee of the Missouri State Central Committee, appointed by the Straight-out Democratic Convention lately held in Jefferson City, will publish an address to-day pre- senting the names of O’Conor and Adams for Presi- ee Vice President; also a full electoral ticket “WILLIE, WE HAVE MISSED YOU." Mr. Tweed Still Remains tn Ambush— Expected to Return to Public Life on Monday—Rumors ot Other Indictments Against Prominent Politicians. | Mr, Tweed’s whereabouts still remains among the things not generally known. It is, however, at length finally settled that Mr. Tweed has only temporarily fled from justice. Mr. Depew, his clerk, says that Mr. Tweed is engaged upon some impor- tant business, and that the importance of it i¢ so | great that he cannot spare the time to at- tend to a warrant for his arrest, and for an offence that is bailable. Mr, Judson Jarvis, | the Clerk of Arrests, had the same official answer to all inquiries that he had on Friday, that the warrant is still unserved, There is no ‘doubt, how- ever, that the officials of the Sherif’s Office and Sherif Brennan himself expect that Mr. Tweed wiil surrender on Monday and that the requisite bail will be tendered. The Sheriff has no other warrants for the apprehension of political delin- quents in his possession. Rumors of new or re- newed indictments eee prominent politicians were prevalent around ‘‘the Hall’ yesterday, but they could not be traced to any authoritative source. PAST STEAMBOAT TIME. New York, Oct. 19, 1972. To vHe Epitor OF THE HERALD: I notice in your paper this morning an account of the Sylvan Dell's trip to Albany in 7h. 43m., which you state is the best time on record, 1 beg to differ with you, that time having been beaten in several instances, viz:—in 1864, Daniel Drew, trom Jay street, New York, to Albany, 6h, 51m., making nine landings; 1841, South America, from New York to Albany, 7h, 2sm., making nine land- ings; 1862, Francis Skiddy, from New York to Al- bany, 7h. 24m., making six landings; 185:, Rein- deer, from New York to Albany, 7h. zim., making six landings, It does not ine in your report that the Syivan Dell made any landings. CENTURY, KINGS COUNTY POLITICS. Nominations for County City Offices—Democratic Nominees for Sheriff, Commissioners of Charities, Justice of Sessions, City Judge and Justices of the Peace—What Is Said of the Ticket, “Just before the battle’? was the characteristic expression upon the features of the ever-faithful servitors of the people of Brooklyn yesterday fore- noon. Faces were flushed, faces were pallid, faces were blue, faces were elongated and faces were expanded. The variety of facial expres- sion exhibited about the great centres of political life, the City Halil, Court House and the corner of Court and Remsen streets, would prove a study for the pen of the artist, just before the opening of the Democratic Regular, or Ring, Nominating Conven- tions, About these contests was to be seen the anxious (oh! how anxious!) martyr to,the inter- ests of his fellow citizens, the man who would willingly devote his days to the toils and cares of public office, seeking no other recom- pense for his great sacrifice than the salary and such perquisites as might accrue, be they more or less, from the position sought, This class, be it said to the credit (f) of the dominant party of Kings county, was very numerous, There Was also conspicuous the would-be martyr of the foregoing ilk, whose claims to “suffer at the stake’? were not well received by the powers that be, the latter failing to observe the point of their arguinent wear the crown of ofice. There, too, might C OIDHET YE. wichent _ the. use of Lord Ross’ telescope, thé tried, trtie and aécépted candidate for place, pay and emolument. The latter wore a self-complacent, knowing, inward, glancing expression, and, when addressed, pressed warmly the hand of his fellow citizen with an air of silent enthusiasm and sincerity which spoke louder than words and seemed to say, ‘1 congratu- late you, my heretofore neglected and much- abused fellow citizens, upon the selection which is about to be made in_ your interests—solely in your interests—for I am the coming man who will look after your welfare, I am the happy slated candidate." So much for the surmises and the scenes without doors, The County Convention was called for tweive o'clock. The delegates thereto, seventy- five in number, composed of some of the longest consecutive place-holding politicians in the party, assembled at the headquarters of the Democratic General Committee, on the third floor of old No. 9 Court street. The chair was occupied by Edward Roe, the bulbous-below-the-ribs President of the Teguiar machine, His solid appearance was gratifying to the delegates, who chose him as permanent chairman of the Convention. County Clerk George G. Herman, the chief moni- tor in all such classes, was declared permanent Secretary. It was then remarked by the Chair that we were entering upon a peculiar campaign; that there existed much dissension in the ranks of both parties; that, in fact, the people were begin- ning to act for themselves, and did not regard the lessons of their so-called leaders with that same regard to rote that had in past years characterized them, For this reason it would be absolutely neces- sary to place‘in nomination the names of men of un- disputed character, both as to honesty and integrity. None other could win in the present struggle, and if the delegates to this Convention failed to make out a strong ticket the fault would be theirs, The Shrievalty was the first nomination to be made. The name of Andrew Cunningham was moved for nomination. The ‘Boss,’ Register McLaughlin, championed the claims of that gentleman as a tried and experienced servitor of the people. A delegate was of the opinion that tbis should be an open Convention, that the doors should be thrown open to the public. This was objected to by Alder- man Clancy, of the Fifth ward, and the origina’ mover withdrew his motion, the doors remaining closed to the people. Alderman Wylie, of the Seventh ward, nominated Ex-Comptroller Thomas H, Faron a8 a man whose name would heal the dissensiong existing in the arty; as @ man who had in the past been the ‘lend of the needy, Hi nee of party afmiilia- tion. Mr. Cunningham should, in his opinion, have been nominated last Fall for the “lost” oMce of Comptroller. But, no; that was not done, and to- day @ republican holds that position, Cunningham would make a good financier, but we do not want a financier for Sheriff. A vote being taken, Mr, Cun- ningham received seventy-two votes, and his nom- ination was made unanimous. This gentleman served several terms as Alderman of the Fifteenth ward, is @ merchant by occupation, and bears a high reputation both in public and private life, ‘he name of Stephen H. Powell was next placed in nomination for Commissioner of Charities, Second district, in place of Henry Corr (who sent in a communication resigning all claim to said nomination for which he had so long con- tended). He was unanimously nominated. Powell is a resident of the Fourth ward, a young man, and acierk in the office of the Commissioner Henry Corr. This conciliates Corr, ‘as it were.” John i ot received the nomination for Superin- tendent of the Poor, First district (Commissioner Foran withdrawing bis claim). This gentleman is a resident of the Twelfth ward. and is President of the Erie Basin and Van Brunt Street Railroad. Nicholas Stillwell, ex-Justice of the Peace of New Lots, was nominated tor Justice of Sessions, and thus terminated the labors of the delegates to the County Convention. The leaders claim 5,000 majority, providing citi- zens don’t “scratch’’ the ticket, lor the above slate. THE DEMOCRATIC CITY TICKET. The delegates to the City Convention met in the afternoon, at headquarters, No. 9 Court street, and nominated the following ticket:—City Judge, George G. Reynolds (liberal republican); Police Justice, Andrew Walsh; Justice of the Peace, First district, John Delmar; Justice of the Peace, Second district, N. B. Morse, Jr.; Justice of the Peace, Sixth district, James Cassidy. Mr. Reynolds has served a term in years gone by as Brooklyn City Judge. He is an American by birth, and person- ally very widely and favorably known in both parties. Mr. Walsh has acceptal biy. to the citizens of Brooklyn filled the ofiice of Police Justice, to which he seeks re-election, for the past three ears. N. B, Morse is a young man, who has never eld office. The prospects are that he will be longer so, if the murmurs heard upon all sides against the regular ticket vesterday evening are to be relied upon. Justice Delmar is considerea a strong candidate in his district. James Cassidy was formerly keeper at the Raymond Street Jail and Supervisor of the Ninth ward. He is now Captain of Police of the Ninth precinct. LIBERAL CONVENTIONS. tions were held at Sawyer’s Hall, Fulton avenue, ‘The Liberal Republican City and County Conven- in the afternoon. The regular democratic nomina- tions were unanimously endorsed. Notwithstand- ing this fact, the utmost dissatisfaction was ex- pressed in the streets on all sides upon the result ol the deliberations of the Conventions as a whole. The Jetfersonian Second Congressional Convention met on Friday night and placed in nomination for election to Congress from the Second district the name of William E. Robinson. Democratic Congre ional Convention. The delegates to the Second District Democratic Congressional Convention met last night at the rooms of the Democratic General Committee, and nominated Mr. John G, Schumaker for Congress. fen nomination was ratified by the liberal repub- cans. LIBERAL REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. The Liberal Republican Congressional Conven- tion for the Third district met last night at Saw- yer’s Assembly Rooms, oorner of Fulton and Jay streets, and nominated W. W. Goodrich for Con- gress for the Third district. endorsed by the democrats. His nomination was Republican Assembly Conventions. The Republican Assembly Conventions were held last night in the various Assembly d stricts, when the following nominations were made :— Dist. Dist. 1—Adjourned, 6—Jacob Worth. 2—David ©.

THE HARLEM COURT HOUSE. | A Dall Day's Proceedings=The Commis. sioners to Meet Again To-Morrow. The Commission appointed by the Senate to in- vestigate the alleged frauds connected with the construction of the Ninth District Court House held another session in the Aldermen's chamber yester- day afternoon. Mr. Hatchell conducted the investi- gation on the part of the Commissioners. Mr. J. C. Parsons appeared for the Taxpayers’ Association of Harlem, be Waterbury as counsel for Senator Genet and Mr. W. ©, Trall for Justice McQuade, ‘The session was taken up by the Commission in attempting to show that the lumber purchased by Mr. George H. Sandford of certain parties in Albany, and consigned to John Scailon at Manhat- tanville for the Ninth District Court House, and for which the sum of $9,748 25 was paid by the city, was taken trom the Manhattanville wharf to the vicinity of a house in process of construction by Mr. Genet on Fifth avenue, between 126th and 127t streets, Mr. Thomas J. Combie, proprietor of lumber carts in Grand street, testified that early in April, at the request of Jolin Scallon, he furnished trucks to haul lumber from the Manhattanville wharf to the Ninth District Court House and to the vicinity of Mr. Genet's house; that lumber was drawn from the wharf to both those places. The teamsters who hauled it also testified to the same things. Beyond this nothing of interest was elicited. Mr. John Scalion was called, but did not appear, and the counsel for the Commissioners seemed not to expect that he would. Judge Waterbury stated that he had made no efforts to get witnesses here, and should Not, until he had an op) ne the various exhibits which ha in evi- dence, so that he could cross-examine the witnesses ntelligently, How he expects to cross-examyne witnesses from other cities, who have returned home, does not appear.

There was a pretty good sprinkling of people in the orchestra stalls and dress circle of the Avcad- emy yesterday and a rather slender array in the boxes, The opera was the most popular of Verdi's works, with Miss Clara Louise Kellogg as the heroine. The fair prima donna was in excellent voice and sang the well known numbers of Leonora very commendably, in the tower scene in Particular. Miss Kellogg has had the good fortune tohave escaped, or, at least, yesterday she was free from the deleterious effects of this treacher- ous weather, which has placed so many members of the company hors de combat, Abrugnedo made @ more favorable impression in the rdle of Manrica than on Monday evening, as his voice was im better condition, He even essayed the uf de poitrine in “Di Quella Pira,” and drew forth the inevitable storm of applause for it, p in- vested the beautiful aria, “Ah! si Ben Mio,” witts considerable expression and sympathetic tender- ness, and gave entire satisfaction in the serenade and tower scenes. Traces of indisposition, how- ever, were visibie in his voice in the other parts of the opera. Mme. Sanz made a decided success by her clever impersonation of the revengeful gypsy. Her acting and singing in the second act call for words of no equivocal commendation. iam who appeared as the Count, was still under the influence of a hoarse voice, and did not create ant impression calculated to make him a popular favorite. Chorus and orchestra were in good time: and did their work nicely. On Monday evening Mme. Lucca appears again as Marguerite, iu “Faust.” Se. Aimee’s Opera Bouffe. ‘The début of Mile. Bonelli as the Grande Duchesse’ took place last evening at the Olympic Theatre be- fore a crowded audience. This lady is described on the programme in choice laudatory phrases, which convey, in short, that she is @ soprano who has sung and acted at the Varieties in Paris, We have described previously the merits of the combination which Is now en- gaged in presenting opéra bouge at the Olympic, and have particularly notified our appreciation of the caste which has appeared in Offenbach’s. “Grande Duchesse."’ It therefore only remains to be said that, outside of a hoarseness, which pre- vents M. Lecuyer as General Boum from singing @ note audibly, the disposition of characters can be praised, Mile Bonelli, the députante of last night, it must be supposed, 18 not seriously intended to perpetuate this role, in which she suffers by contrast with the brilliant Aimée to an unfortunate degree. Mlle.. Bonelli is a shapely and good-looking blonde, witir acertain amount of opéra boufe chic, which ex- preeaun conveys vivacity, nonchalance and a undred minette graces, familiar to Parisians and to Parisiennes only except through the medium of opéra vouge. It was this chic which mainly gave Mile. Schneider her fame in this ré/e, and ina minor degree what. has carried Mile. Aimée successiully so far. But voice Ia wanted also, and if Mile, Bonelli’s efforts last evening are a fair indication of her forces in this direction we must confess she has not satistled us. Her voice is not strong, and in the sabre song this want was very apparent. Earlier, in the song ‘J’aime le Militaire,” it was at- tributed to nervousness, but in the piéce de résistance of the opera the true cause became Vis- ible. She sings rectly and her best success was the pleading mo! u“Dites Lui”? Here she ex- exhibited her best vocal points, which are more in passages requiring delicate phrasing and emotional expression, Her performance was deserving on the whole, but would indicate that she will be bet- ter placed when not supporting the weight of an entire opera, Musical and Theatrical Notes. Titiens will sing in oratorio in London this Winter, The Emperor of Brazil has sent Signor Verdi the insignia of an officer of the Order of the Rose. M. Faure has made his rentrée at the Grand Opera, Paris, as Don Juan, in Mozart's ches Waruvre. Asonata for four hands, for the pianoforte, op. 89, by Herr Anton Rubinstein, has been published at Leipsic. It is probable thas Mr. Charles Fisher will take the part of Sir John Falstaff when Mr. Daly pro- duces the “Merry Wives of Windsor” at the Fifth Avenue Theatre. The Berlin papers are generally of opinion that, the solid attraction which has taken so many other distinguished prima donnas to New York has not been without its effect on Mme. Lucca, Mme. Claudina Calroli, rina donna who sung formerly with Tamberlik, ange, Frezzolini and other artists, is now giving instruction in singing and operatic declamation tn Eleventh street. During her short season at the Queen's Theatre previo to her departure for this country to fulfil er engagement at Booth’s, Miss Neilson played) only two characters—Juliet in Shakspeare’s tragedy, and Pauline in “The Lady of Lyons." The latest snecimen of the stage drunkard is Old Grimey, cannes at the Grecian Theatre, Lon- don. This old ruifan, half miser, half sot, varies the performance by haggling for another coin after a friend has given him sixpence. “Why, you old. villian, I've just given you sixpence to bay rum with, have I noty” “Yes, Dick, dear Dick, my: boy,” hiccoughs out Old Grimey} “but you don’t think ’m going to spend my hard-earned capital. in rum, do your I never drinks but when I'm treated.” The Pittsburg Leader pays the following compli+ ment to Mr. Barrett, the actor:—“He is a polished actor, conscientiously devoted to art, and, in some characters, is without a peer. His Hamiet, im many respects, is finer than that of either Mr, Fechter or Mr. Booth, and yet the. majority, or at least many play-goers nowadays, award the per- sonation of the latter flattering commendation and consider it unapproachable. Barrett is com- paratively poung im years and a careful dramatic student. His position in the profession is destined to be one many strive to attain but few reach.” The English papers are filled with musical and dramatic items from and about America. The ar- rival of Mr. and Mrs. Boucicault in this city is duly chronicled. together with a curious letter from the distinguished actor and author, addressed to the ladies and gentlemen of the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden, in which, in taking leave of them, he ex- presses his pleasure at their arduous rehearsals of “Bahil and Bijou.” irs. John Wood's successful engagement at the Granda Opera House is made @ hinge for the announcement that she will shortly reopen the St. James Theatre, with two new come- dies by H. J. Byron and W. S. Gilbert. And last, but. not least, is the agreeable fact that Herr Wachtel, during a brief holiday, has been studying Wagner's “Lohengrin,” with Herr Jahn, and intends taking the leading part on its production during the New York season of 1873-4, SHORT PERFORMANCES AT THE THEATRES, CLARENDON HOTEL, SATURDAY. To THE Epiror OF THE HERALD:— A paragraph in your journal of this day objects to the form of the entertainment offered at Booth’s Theatre next Tue@lay, because it is composed of two pieces—“‘Jessie Brown” and ‘Kerry; or, Night and Morning’’—tnstead of a single drama, a8 now is the custom of the New York stage. As this cus- tom of single pieces and very short performances was firat introduced by me in the Summer of 1856, when I managed Wallack’s Theatre, [may be permitted to point out how it mays be carried to an extreme in- Jurious to the growth of our drama. If a per- formance commenced at eight o'clock and ter- minated at halt-past ten, it follows that the entertainment must endure two hours and a half, and if it must consist of a single drama, then there must henceforth be only one measure fer a dramatic work. All subjects must be either spun out to that length or cut down to it. | Under this condition the choicest repertoire of the Gymnase and the Vaudeville Theatres must be ex- cluded from performance: the most delightful works that De Musset contributed to the Théatre Francais would become unactable. Allow me to plead earnestly against the establishment of this rigid rule, and especially to claim your considera- tion of my present case :—‘‘Jessie Brown’ occu- ies one hour and twenty minutes in performanc This is too short to constitute an evening's e! e tainment. “Kerry; or, Night and Morning,’} one hour. Performed together they occupy two. hours and a half, My wife has identified her name with the repre- sentation of the Scotch heroine. The London and. Dublin audiences have led me to believe Kerry is a better finished portrait of Irish character than either Myles na Coppaleen or Shaun the Post. But. if this rule is allowed to intervene we cannot pl these pieces, as neither of them measures the stand- ard length required by it. I hope you will not deem me bent on introducing capriclous innovations, but. when you witness the entertainment on Tuesday evening it may dispose you to admit it ood rule have some exceptions. ined . bul DION aN ?
