THE ALLIANCE DEMONSTRATION. Crowded Audiences at Steinway Hall and the Academy of Music. WEW YORK TAKES THE LEAD. Addresses by English, Irish and French ‘ Divines—The Bombay Delegate and His Appeal to Euro- pean Christians. —+ ‘What an English Member of Par- liament Said. THE PROGRAMME FOR TO-DAY. \e f : , Last night the Evangelical Alliance received a demonstration of interest and good-will on the part ‘of the people of this city, that delegates familiar with nearly all past conferences were constrained to gay publicly, had never been equalied in any city ‘where the Conference nad yet been held. At the Academy of Music and Steinway Hall it was ‘Mterally true that thousands were unable to obtain admission, and it was remarked by the managers that if Cooper Insti- tute had been opened also, that, too, would have been filled to overflowing. The speeches at ‘both meetings received their inspiration from this cheering and exciting spectacle, and were directed not only to a stringing of sentences of jubilation at such a result, but to direct personal appeals to the Yast audiences to consecrate themselves anew to the work of Christ, and solemn invitations to those who were not yet Christians to yield their hearts to God on so august an occasion, The Academy of Music, The services in the Academy were commenced by singing two verses of the hymn commencing Come Thou, Almighty King, to the tune of “Invocation,” after which the Dean of Canterbury read the 143d Psalm. ADDRESS OF THE CHAIRMAN. The Hon. FELIx R. BRUNoT, who presided over the meeting, in the opening address said that the grandeur of the meeting suggested the idea of its object—that of Christian union—and that though it was made up of people irom all churches and all lands, yet it must not be forgotten that they all had one common Father and one common home. When these services were over and they had gone home let the effect of tnis session of the Evangeli- cal Alliance be to stimulate them to more activity in the work.of Christ’s kingdom. ADDRESS OF DR, KNOX. Dr. Knox, of Belfast, said that he desired to strike the key note of this meeting. He could not do better in doing that than give the words of the Master, “‘Abide in Me.”’ It was just as necessary to stay in Jesus as to accept Him. In fidelity to those in the vast audience who might be un- Bheltered and not abiding in the true hope, he asked, ‘“‘Why are you outside? The Lord is willing and waiting to receive you. He is imploring you {v come to Him, Without Him all union is infor- mal. May God grant to each one of you to enjoy this union, so that in the day of the great assem- bly not one sheltered in this building may be out- side of Christ.” THE DELEGATE FROM BOMBAY, Rev. NERYAN SHESHADRI, of Bombay, said that the objects of the Aliiance had been greatly realized in the country from whence he came. An Evangelical Alliance was held in India, and there was nothing but brotherly love among the 118 missionaries, representing 22 different societies, who met on that occasion. Mr. Sheshadri traced somewhat in detail the operations of the Christian Church in India, Let those who had been present at the aege gatherings of the Evangelical Alliance realize the spirit of Christianity as manifested in the twelfth chapter of the First Epistle to the Corinthians, and then there would be realized the sentiment of the true evangelical song of “Glory to God in the Highest.” A FRENCH ADDRESS, The Rev. Dr. FRANK COULIN, of Geneva, addressed the audience in French. In the course of his address he depicted the great struggle of modern life in France, a8 manifested in its political and religious movements, and in glowing language set forth the rest, the joy, the peace and the comfort that was found in Christ by believers. A DELEGATE FROM THE SOUTHERN STATES, Rev. Dr. Hoge of Richmond, Virginia, said that although he might in some respects be regarded as & foreigner, still he considered that he was a mem- ber of the Christian family, When he heard that morning the brother with his dark skin—a brother who had come 14,000 miles to attend the Evangeli- cal Alliance sessions—he was reminded of a state- ment of Dr. Alexander that if four men were seated together and could .not communicate their thoughts to one another, because they spoke different languages, still there would be that in their hearts which would so far manifest itself as to make them one, “My opinion is,” said the Doctor, ‘that the doctrines of the Bible are the pillars of the Church, and I do think, also, that the non-essential doctrines of the Bible are necessary for the symmetrical develop- Ment of the Christian character. (Cheers) This gathering is but the prelude of that glorious as- sembly when men (rom all climes, all colors and all Nationalities shali sing the song of ‘Peace on earth, and glory to God in the highest.’ But there ‘was a nobler gathering than this; these assemblies Yemind us of the time of which our Lord speaks, ‘when they shall come from the east, the west, the north and the south, and when they shall sit down one family with Him.” AN ENGLISH DELEGATE. Rey. W. H. FREMANTLE, of the Episcopal Church, London, said that he desired to show the ee final victory of Christianity that this Alliance ‘would point to, Though we must not belittle the ‘difficulties by the way, still we mustremember that we hold in our hands that which shall reconcile all enmities. St. Paul speaks of the whole creation being reconciled. Surely, we ought to keep above this hope of being reconciled to Goa himseli. That was the Le tneed of Christi- anity; for we see this reconcilliation reconcilin; us unto the likeness of Christ. When the natura! and selfish man denies himseif then is he crucified in Christ, If individuals are thus reconciled to God then are they reconciled to one another. That ‘was the mission of the Evangelical Alliance. We are not to try to get rid altogether of denom- inational differences. Can any moral system stand to-day without the self-renewing love of the Cross? ‘That system which includes this stands forever. ‘Then all human life must be reconciled to God. We believe that ay is made for every heart, and therefore there will be a subjugation for the world. Christ is the King not only of our inner life, but of all our commercial life, and our social lite. Injustice is done to Christ when this was separated, In this great city we are now seein; the germ of what Christ prophesied when He sai all the world would believe. He (the Cog aH) could not help but rejoice on seeing America hold- ing fast to ristianity, despite the large incur- sions of Europeans, and immigrants, indeed, from all parts of the world, PRAYER BY DR. BUDDINGTON. Dr, BUDDINGTON, Of Brooklyn, led the audience in prayer. A DELEGATE FROM IRELAND, Rey. W. F. STEVENSON (of Dublin) said that unless this immense meeting is an optical delusion then the Evangelical Alliance is not a failure, There. is no doubt that Christians love one another, and it only needed that some one should touch the spring to show this in so palpable a orm and to menilest that principle of love tor which Christianity was 80 distinguished. We have need to go to those higher springs of sentiment, lite, faith and prayer, for if the spirit of the Alliance is not to evap- orate, then those who meet must be sustained by the prayers of those who love Christ. pere anger of too much speaking, but there is no danger of too much prayer. Let us, in these latter days, meet often together in prayer. Let it netrate our lives so effectually as that it shall ch every heathen land. He represented one of the least of lands, and yet it was called to play a part that affects very considerably larger and much mere important lands ¢ its own, If Treland is to be destined to pour out streams for the healing of the nations instead of their strifes— if that is to be done, those who in Ireland are seeking this must be sustained by the prayers of the Christians In every part of the world. The Rev, T. Brie ot Paris ne Rev, T. RRIAUX, Of Paris, said it waa pa cause of thankfulness to the Christia in ce that after the last dreadful war there er ‘were better Cg cob ola to preach the Gospel in that country. The Gospet wasgnever preached to the people without manifestations of gratitude and thankfulness, He (the speaker) was shut up during the siege, and it was necessary for him to Jeave the city, it applied for & passport to the Commuue, but it was refused, but one member of the Commune rose and said:—“You must let him 69; = evangelist, and if the Gospel was Breached shore we should not have a civ ” nd the passport was given. There was a remark- able proof of the value of the Bible shown before the ith of the Archbishop ‘of Paris, who sent for an Be poten Cala Ga Professor Forbes, and soked him to bring with hima Bivie; and it may NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET. De said that Professor Forbes prepared the Arch- bishop for death. A METHODIST ENGLISH DELEGATE. The Rev. Dr. Rica (of London) said that he stood there as an Englishman and a Methodist, and he deemed it a great honor that he was asso- ciated on the same platform with the Dean of Can- terbury and his friend, Mr. Freemantle. He could not but feel that since the Berlin Conterence of 1867 the cause of Christian union and some of the real principles of the Evangelical Alliance have been very greatly advuuced. It red to him that the A- ance had hi history like some creeds, which having passed through gradations of difMiculty, have come out as gloriously successiul as that which has been seen in the meeting of the Evangelical Alliance in this city. This is the most wonderful gathering the Alliance has ever known. (Cheers.) Yet what was this great gathering compared to the mighty multitude whose sympathies throughout the world, whose theughts and Raves wert directed toward this city at this moment no wonder that America this it was Alliance should be received with so much favor and power, becawse on this Continent, and aie Conenee enaene ig ll such a well- ring of freedom and rengious was foe Mel peed of true liberty. He Pert he mis- lied principles of Catholicism, but he could not look other than with feelings ot love ana sympathy upon thosé who held them; because he believed that under the swaddling bands of iron and steel of this Catholic ecclesiasticism there was ever and anon @ true feeling of evangelicism. He believed that there was an uprising in the Western Catholic lands and in the Greek Catholic lands that would Cast off the bonds of Papacy, and there would be a renewal o! national life that would be truly evan- gelical. (Cheers.) He concluded by expressing a lear that perhaps not in would there be #0 e & gathering of the friends of the rangelical Iliance as in New York, but he hoped that the turn of New York would s00n come round again. (Cheers,) GENERAL PISK’S ADDRESS. Brigadier General Fisk, after expressing his gratitude and wonder at the magnificence of the Meeting, said that after Dr. Rigg’s speech he felt that he could compromise all sectarianism on Methodism, and ask that the audience be recetved as probationers mm that hour. Let Protestant- ism be aggressive and then victory will perch u| its banners, God grant (said the General) that each one present may be a seed-sower, and let us all say that in each of our households God shall have a tation. (Cheers). During the delivery of this address General Fisk shook bands with Dr. Hoge, and was loudly cheered, AN ENGLISH MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT. The Rev. CHARLES REED (of London), who was the last speaker, and was called upon unexpectedly by Mr. W. E. Dodge, delivered an impressive address, in which he gave some very interesting personal reminiscences, The “Doxology” was then sung, and the bene- diction pronounced by the Rev. Dr. McCosh. Steinway Hall- Steinway Hall was crowded last evening as it was never crowded belore on any previous 0c- casion. Long before the hour fixed for the begin- ning of the services the auditorium, the galleries, and even the stage was taken possession of by the eager throngs. At seven o'clock even the passage ways were literally packed, even ladies content- ing themselves with a perch on the window sills, where they remained during the entire proceed- ings. Even after this state of affairs had become generally known at the doorways, hundreds still kept pushing their way along up the stairs, hoping to be able wo secure a place where they could hear the speakers, Mr. Nathan Bishop presided. THE REV. PROFESSOR SMYTHE’S ADDRESS, The first speaker was the Rey. Professor SMYTHE, from Londonderry. He began by saying that he was gratified to know that the people of this city had been so enthusiastic in their reception of the foreigners who had just come among them. He then spoke as to the responsibilities of the Ameri. cans in propagating the truths of the Bible. Inthe Old World, he said, it was rare in any one country to meet with more than one people; but in America there were found men of all nationalities and tongues, and the barriers one met witn in Europe were, he had already learned, broken down in this country, He had heard of the non-fence law in California, where one man’s field ran one into the other, He hoped that a Hke state of affairs would follow this vangelical Alliance in the matter of evangelical truth, that all Christians would be brought to- gether, and when it would be hard to tell where one man’s particular church following began and the other ended. There was in the institutions of this country a marvellous assimilation power. A man is only here a short time when he becomes a thorough American. Even he had, after a short stay of four months, been somewhat reconstructed himself, This assimilation was dificult with a Scotch American, and more dificult with the Jew, He had heard Jews in the West had come to believe Ameriea to be the promised land. If, then, it were possible here to make all kinds of men Americans surely they one and all could be made Christians, Thousands from Europe were pouring in upon America, and what was to become of them? This was the great Problem to be solved in the future. He hoped they would be drawn towards God, and it was the duty of all Christians here to take them in hand, The Church of Christ must force this people into the one great paternity of the Church. He corffessed that the young and the strong and tne able-bodied and the able-souled were being taken from Europe by America. He hoped they were being taken ior good to be made Christians. He believed that the population of this country would one day equal ‘that of China, and that Christianity was in the fu- ture to have its basis in America, There was, then, a great responsibility on every individual to gather good fruit trom those who came among us. it was every man’s duty to do his best—to go to work and gather in the harvest. If every man present—every man in the country—would only be a Christian and acknowledge Christ there need be no misgiving as to the future of the country. Nee ATTGECL PEs dress, delivered a short Ba. er, after which the hymn, “Give Joy to the World,” was sung by the congregation. ADDRESS BY REV. STANLEY BARON, The next speaker was the Rev. STANLEY BARON, of King’s College, London. He said that but twice before in his life had he ever addressed so large an assemblage—once in the Victoria Theatre and once in St. Paul's. The same cause had brought those two audiences together as had Pere the assemblage he was now addressing. And what was this cause that had brought them all together? It was the work af the Evangelical Alliance. And was every one present actuated by the motive which had given birth to this proposed alliance? If so, then, indeed, there was a great future before the Christian Church. If one and all were gathered together for that one purpose the cause would indeed be a glorious one. He wished every- one to understand that he was a sinner, and a dying sinner. He was there that evening, but where would he or his hearers be to-morrow? Who could tell? The question, then, was—Was everybody prepared to meet his God? Thai was the uestion. Was everyone at peace with his God? ‘as every one seeking God and anxious to re- ent of his sins? It was because of the vitality of she Gospel that it could be brought near to every heart. Everyone by it could learn how to return to God, how to save his soul. Unless every one had 80 followed the Gospel’s teachings as to avoid sin there was no need of any one’s coming to the meeting, Every one must, to be heard by God in this Alliance, seek Jesus in His sight. No one should come to scoff or merely for curiosity’s sake. If the lives of his hearers were such as to be pleasing in God's sight, then their prayers would be heard, but not otherwise. All within tue hearing of Bis voice who needed God’s aid should, however, not despair. If they had in their hearts the desire to serve God He would give ear to their prayers, were they all a8 one man determined not to live unto them- selves, but for Him who had died forall of us. Salvation could not be sates by being pros- rous in this life and indulging in its luxuries, ut is serving the Lord Jesus Christ faithtully. Only by 80 doing could we feel on our dying bed that God reserved for us a life of everlasting hap- eo. The reverend gentleman then exhorted is hearers to lead good lives, so that eternity for them would have no terrors, AN iRiSH DELEGATE, The Rey. L. E. BERKLEY, of Ireland, was the next speaker, He said that he had arrived in this coun- try on the 3d of last month. He called the atten- tion of young men to the tenth chapter of Genesis. Itis a story of a young man who had leit his mother. He had often read this chapter to young men and young women who were leaving for America. The young man inthe Scriptures had made three resvlutions, and if all the Christians nowadays would take the same resolutions keep them as Jacob did the world would be the better for it. He had heard some talk about tak- ing the emigrants in hand and bringing them to the knowledge of Christ. They coul Saget he said, be taken up in & lump; but they had to be taken up one by one. They would have to be dealt with as individuals, and each individual should be filled with the determination to do God's work, and extend to the emigrant a helping hand as a Christian, and infuse into his heart the love of the Lord. ADDRESS BY THE DEAN OF CANTERBURY, The Very Reverend the Dean of Canterbury was next introduced. H id from the meeting the sight of the cro still age crowds he now saw on all sides, the thought came into his mind:—What will be the rsonal effect of all this? Was it to last, the good that was manifested b; the presence of so many thousands? It should be @ lasting good, not a fooling only born of a moment's excitement, Nee" to die out after the exciting eause was over. He exhorted every one to be tthe ns with the greatness of the respon- sibility that reated unon every one who attended the meetings, If the impressions made during them were not hereafter put into practice, a good Opportunity would be lest. Life was short, and it Was not often that such an opportunity came round as this great Alliance gathering. We spent much of our time in trivial dealings, but in @ time like this, when the minds of all were centred on one great object, the Occasion all were witness to should not be con- sidered an ordinary one. Each one here should henceforth make a good resolution to influence our future lives, God was now knocking at the door of our hearts, but if we barred the door against Him how dia we know He would ever return again? Now was the acceptable time—the day of our sal- vation. Every time we closed our hearts to God’s Knocking the more dangerous would our future be- come. Every one should wrestle in paper with God, struggle earnestly to be brought nigh unto Him, take the Serour close to his heart and henceforth be God’s true servant, and be drawn into closer union with im, and thus be assured of a happy eternity unto Him, where we would Him tace to face. He closed by exhorting his hearers to so actas that the impressions made by the meetings now being hela might be Jasting and forever hereafter make every Christian in reality @ true brother of every other Ohristian. The Rev, HugH MILLER, of Scotland, next spoke. He had been in India for many years and was here to testify that the Rev. Mr. Sheshadri, who was to address them, was worthy of bein gatsentively listened to by Christians, The reverend gentleman who. was to follow him had been baptized in his resence, and he had known him before he was a hristian. Thirty years ago he had been converted, and had since, a8 a minister of God, done noble work in India ag & missionaty, THE DELEGATE FROM BOMBAY, The Rev. Mr. SHESHADRI, Who wore a white tur- ban and a white robe beneath a long gray coat, then faddressed the meeting, He spoke excellen English, ane proceeded togive an account of his conversion. God's grace had alone converted him. He had been a Brahmin, and had been worshipped by gray-haired men and women, and had had divine honors paid to him. He AEA felt him- self very important, but God drove Hindooism out of his heart. He had learned when young that one of the gods he had been taught to worship had drunk up two oceans one fine day when he got thirsty. On learning afterward, by means Oo! a geography, that two-thirds of the world was water his bellef in that kind of God became Tather shaken. He then recounted several in- cidents of the nonsensical beliefs of the Hindoo Jaitn which got him to thinking. There was nothing in any of the prayers or services he was brought up to consider sacred in _ his idolatrous Worship to satisfy the longings of his heart. His mind was finally directed 1o Christianity, and he studied certain chapters of the Bible he had heard @ missionary recommend to be read. His eyes were opened at last, and when he had been confronted with the announcement of ‘sal- vation through a crucified Saviour,” a new light broke in upon mim. The life of the Saviour made an impression upon him that was ineffaceable and he was saved. The reverend entleman then went on to declare how dear the ible was to him and how he hoped to die as he had lived for the last twenty years—a Christain, with a full and constantly iporserine love for the Saviour. He oped that great results would flow from the Alliance, and that its good effects would spread all over the world. He rejerred to two Christian alliances held in India of late years. They had all met together as brethren. They were of all denominations, yet they all acted as brothers, and if they differed they agreed to differ, and the best of results had followed it. The other alliance had been made up of converts alone who were striving vo convert their brethren in darkness, without the aid ofany of the American or European societies. He closed by exhorting all present to join the mystical body of Christ. GEORGE H. STEWART, OF PHILADELPHIA. GEORGE H, STEWART, of Philadelphia, was tne next speaker. He said since the meeting had begun he did not Know to what body he belonged—whether Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopalian or Moravian. At any rate he felt satisfied that he loved every- body who bore the image of Christ much more than he ever had. Much talk there had been in years past of converting the heathen; but tor the first time we had a native, converted from idolatry, ordained in his native country to the ministry, addressing a New York audience— a livin example of the power of the Cross of Christ, He then entreatea his hearers to meet mind during the meeting the confer- ences being held, and pray to God tor a crowning success, and, referring to the panic, he said that it might in the end, as in 1857, be tullof good to many weary hearts, who would by it be turned jrom tue worship of money to the worship of God, who in prosperity they had forgotten. The services were then closed by prayer, in French, by the Rey. Dr. Estelle, and the benedic- tion was pronounced by the Rev. H. Schoonacher, of Germany. Programme for To-Day.

The accompanying oficial ek of the Attor- ney Generali of the State is published for the con- sideration and guidance of the executive civil authorities of the several counties :— ‘The Chief Executive is firmly convinced, after the most full consultation with the Attorney Gen- eraland leading members of the Bar in various portions of the State, and after the most anxious reflection upon the grave subject here discussed by the Attorney General, that his opinion 1s correct, and that according to the constitution no election should be held in the State until November, 1874, When members of Congress and all the State and county officers will be elected together, and the doubt and unnecessary expense of annual elec- tions avoided for all future time. It 1s the purpose of the Executive to assemble the two Houses of the Legislature at an early day, in extraordinary session, that they may provide, by yin Gries ateatttias for the general election to be held on the first Tuesday aiter the first Mon- day in November, 1873, le theretore appeals to the people of all parties and enjoins it upon all the oficers of the State and ol the several counties to aid him in carrying tnto practical effect the provisions of the constitution bearing on this important subject. R. ©. POWERS, Governor, POLITICAL NOTES AND COMMENTS, —_————— The Utica Herald (republican) avers that the repeal of the Salary bill of the last Congress is called for. It says its repeal will affect only Sena- tors and Representatives, still public sentiment calls for its repeal, which will put the pay of the members back to $5,000, This looks a little like “locking the stable door after the horse is stolen,” but better late than never. Webster Wagner has been nominated for the State Senate by the republicans of the Fifteenth Senatorial district. Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, writes from Cop- lentz, Germany, to the Burlington Free Press to state that he opposed the salary ‘“aifair’ with all his power and in earnest, adding :— Before the bill was signed I freely expressed the hope in the quarter where I thought it might be considered that the President would veto it. Three or four days after the accounting officer of the Senate settled my pay account, excluding, by my direction, all increase, and paying me on the ola law solely; for it did not appear to me that I could property take more than the prior law tees aa 1 understood, left the money in the The Washington Star (administration) states that the name of John A, Kasson, of lowa, is men- tioned as likely to be brought forward for the Speakersbip of the House of Representatives by those disaffected with Speaker Blaine, or who, to quench his supposed aspirations for the Presiden- tial chair, Would be glad to see him reduced to the ranks in the House.

This is @ slight falling Of irom Grant’s 137,000 majerity less than a year ago, The Albany Journal announces that the republi- cans of the State have inaugurated the campaign. “They have not,’ it says, ‘waited to seo what their adversary was going to do, but have started in as though they mean to wim and had all conf- dence of doing it.” CITY POLITICS. The Coming Struggle Among the Politicians for City and County Offices. THE EFFECT OF THE UTICA CONVENTION. Prospects of a Union of Tammany and Apollo on Legislative Candidates, WHAT IS A “LOCAL” —-__. The Prospects in the Senatorial Disiricts and the Probable Candidates, CANDIDATE ? The action taken last Wednesday by the Demo- cratic Convention at Utica, so far as the New York city delegations were concerned, was by no means @ surprise to anyborly in this city who had taken the trouble to canvass the probabilities of the Convention beforehand. Indeed, were they willing to confess the truth about the matter, there ig not a prominent man among the Apolloites who could deny to-day that he did not know what the result was to be weeks before the Convention met, At all events, the decided stand taken by the Con- vention in favor of reform Tammany has cut out the work jor the election in this city next November, and there now remains but little doubt as to what the puilings and haulings on both sides for place, position, corhfort and spoils will amount to, The blow Apollo as an organization has re- ceived effectually settles the dispute between her and Tammany—if not to the satisfaction of poth parties at least so effectually as to render the policy of each so plain that he who runs may read without spectacles, Apollo, the Tammany men say, went to Utica knowing that, as s demo- cratic organization, her claims were rather weak, and that the fact that she had—covertly though it may have been and only in isolated cases here and there in the city—worked hand in glove last election with the very men who were working openly against the regular nominees of the demo- cratic party, was a dead weight round her neck from the start. But concerning this part of the Utica struggle enough has already been said, and the more important question now arises, What effect will the Convention's partiality for Tam- many have upon the democratic party in this city and county next November? There are those who even yet hope that some kind of a compromise can be arrived at between the two factions, so that, in all matters where the necessities of the party demand a united front on the part of the demo- eracy, the two will be jound working together. But this hope, judging from all the circumstances of the case, seems to be a very irail one indeed, WILL THERE BE A COMPROMISE? The tone of Apollo’s protest against the Conven- tion’s action apparently precludes every chance of a union upon any one candidate, either city or coun- ty—though it is possible that the masses will “go” the straight State ticket, no matter what the so- called leaders may do to the contrary; and it is barely possible that, for the sake of obtaining a foothold in the Legisiature, the two warring cliques may wisely go solidly for the larger portion of the candidates for the Senate and Assembly. indeed, as to this latter probability, there are but Jew diMiculties in the way to prevent either Tam- Many or Apollo from going hand in hand into the fight; for upon the result of the senatorial elec- tions a great deal depends this year, and each could lay claim to ‘the victory with equal justice 1 all the Candidates from this city were elected by com- bined action on their part. ‘Tho closing portion of Apollo’s protest is very ingeniously constructed. The organization, through the chairman of the delegation, in asserting that it wil “appeal to the ballot in November to establish its fidelity to democratic principles,” shows—at least promises—that the State ticket will receive its support; but what fol- lows this promise is nothing more nor less than @ threat to do all that can be done to defeat every local candidate Tammany may put into the field. ‘This threat is by no means covert. To appeal to the ballot “to establish its strength in its local candidates, and eilectually rebuke the arrogance 1 Tammany Hall,” in the slang of the day “means business,” The whole contest in November, thereiore, it is plain to be seen, turo upon the interpretation or the word “iocal,” as qualifying the standpoint of candidates in this city. What Apollo intends to do is to show, ifit cau, by the vote it can control, that the Convention biundered in treating it so un- graciously; In other words, poll @ larger vote than ‘tammanuy Hall. Now to do this and make the issue @ distinct one, as between the two factions, without any outside aid, will be no easy matter, but it is @ matter of much moment as to what Apollo means by local candidates, the solid sup- port of whom by its followers will “rebuke the arrogance” of its rival. If the promise to “establish its fidelity to democratic principles” is will | not a mere empty sound hew can Apollo put | up a candidate for Senator or instance against a democratic (lammany) candidate, supposing him to be im every way unex- Coheed te as a man, and at the same time act up to its pledged word? it is true that the same ques- tion might be put to Tammany i! Apolio should first place in the fleldan unexceptionable candi- date for Senator or Assemblyman tu any district; but the democrats who care neither for Tammany nor Apollo and who will vote just whatever way they think wili most conduce to the triumph of the paris and especially ior those candidates jor the gisiature whose chances seem the best, will undoubtedly meet the poser with the assertion that Tammany has been recognized by the Convention, whereas Apollo was not. Applying the ordinary tests of political logic to this view of the matter there may be iound little common sense in it; but for all that the fact remains the same, that this “local” question is a puzzier. The next senate will have & say im the selection of one United States Senator, and probably an additional one belore 1875, and it does not seem reasonabie, therefore, under the circumstances, that Tammany and Apuvilio should fight their factional fights over candidates for either branch of the Legislature, or that either should consider a Senator or an Assembiy- man a “local” candidate upon whose election must depend the success of a “rebuke of the arrogance” of the other, But democrats who are neither Tammany nor Apollo men appear to fear that the reasonabicness of the thing will have very littie to do with the matter, and the indications are, even Gt this early day, as thick as leaves in Vallambrosa, that in some of the ai: peloye ho attempt ata uoion poh candidates for the Legisiature will be made by either Tammany or her antagonist, WHERE THE LOCAL STRUGGLE WILL COME. One thing 18 certain, however, that no matter how the two may differ as to Legislative candidates, both will make their great fight jor supremacy over the city and county nomi- nations proper. And just here it may not be without a certain degree of interest to parties on both sides of the house, who are not as well posted as they py be, to know that there ts by no means that harmony among the Tammany sachems which once upon a time made them so Jormidable @ power in the city. Nota few ot! them are at heart opposed to John Kelly, not because they nave any good ground to base their secret opposition upon, but because, in their opinion, he has loomed up too Ratan @ one-man power since the downfall of Tweed, and especially because he will not listen to any bargains or any compro- mises with outside factions, It is a well known fact that Mr. Kelly and many of the sachems were at variance some weeks ago as to what consider- ation should be given to the resolution passed by Apollo Hall in watch a democratic union of hearts anda union of hands was advocated. Mr. Keily was willing that every Apollo Hall man should come over to Tammany and work as alaborer in tne vineyard. To him and all like him a warm wel- come would be given; but Apollo Hall asa body did not see things in the same light. The fact is O’Brien & Co. Wanted Apollo to be recognized 4s a regular organization which would be accorded a voice in ali Tammany nominations and giv 0 equal chance for the spoils. The sachems and other prominent men in the Tammany camp who are how secretly opposed to Mr, Kelly were in favor of conceding all this to Apollo and even more; but in justice to Mr. Kelly it must be said tha their willingness to compromise and treat with their old enemy on equal terms was prompted more by individual hopes for the future than bya desire to unite the rank and file of the party jor the general good. There is not one of tnem but aSpires to some office next November or has some friend who wants to serve the people by swearing allegiance to the constitution and adding his signature to @ heavy pay roil at least once a month, TAMMANY SACHEMS WHO ARB NOT A UNIT. These patriots fear to give offence to Apollo leat their chances next month may turn out badly, and yet they do not want to be known as other than Tammany men. There are others again on the tammany side of the house who are jealous of Mr, Kelis’a bold on the party, and who, not being able to make use of their position in the party to secure their own personal ends so long as John guises the ship, are determined to lend a Lay | and in a covert way to the enemies of the ol Wigwamites, and so humiliate him aa a leader. it may be that the turn affairs took at Utica on Wednesday will mend matters in this conspiracy business, A iew days more will suffice to show whether it will or not. Thas much for the general situation and the prospects; and now as to the city and county offices, which will test the relative strength of the two factions, The most important of them Sb Decne athe in the first place and as a mine of patronage in the second place—is THE SHRIXVALTY, The candidates are numerous, and every one is Willing, 1t is said, togo down on his bended knees and swear that all he wants the office jor is to benefit the dear people, without any regard to No. 1. it ts the habit with nondescripts in the political line and low groggery hangers-on generally just about election times to announce themselves ‘as candi- dates for this, that and the other office. They know they have no chance of a nomination from any regular organization, yet are shrewd enough to know that notoriety, even among groggeries, as proepective candidates, especially if their names get nto the newspapers, gives them a@ sort of impor- tance among a certain class that is fruitful of free drinks and lodgings and eredit at the bar. Thereis @ host of this class of good-for-nothings already in the fleld a3 aspirants for the Shrievalty, the office of Coroner and even for Judges ot the Courts where vacancies occurring next December are to be filled next month, As the generat public care nothing for them it will be gratifying to the voters at large, doubtless, not to parade their names in print. Besides, the candidates who have really some claims to & nomination are quite numerous enough without going into the back alleys for the others. For the Shrievalty the two most formi- dable candidates on the democratic side are John Fox and Joel O. Stevens, the present Under Sheriff. William C. Conner, formerly County Clerk; Wil- tam H. Wickham, who ere Apollo Hall the cold shoulder last election; Jonn Foley, the reformer, and Bernard Reilly, once a deputy in the Sheritrs office, are also candidates, It is said that the whole power of M. ‘I, Brennan is at Stevens’ back, and that the contest will in the end be narrowed down between him and Fox, with the odds strongly in favor of the latter, whoisregarded as the choice of John Kelly. Conner made a good County Clerk, but his connection, short lived though it was, with that quarry company the Ring got up just before ‘its death, and in which Harry Genet was a roll- ing stone of no mean proportions, will kill hin off with relorm Tammany. He will take the County Clerkship, his friends say, if he can’t get the Shrievalty; but the same cause which reform Tammany people say will prevent him getting the one office will certainly prevent him irom getting the other—that is, if consistenvy is a jewel with the leaders, who declare that no one in the re- motest way connected with the oid Ring will re- ceive the countenance of the new organization in the matter of nomination for office, THE CORONERS. The candidates for the position of Coroner are legion. Three are to be elected, and each one of the present incumbents is hard at work for a re- nomination. General Bourke, the Fenian, has already had himself nominated by the Democratic Union; but at the present outlook he stands a very wed chance of getting a nomination trom either ‘ammany or Apoilo, unless the latter should take him up as a forlorn hope. Richard Croker, it is generally conceded, will get one of the vacancies from Tammany. It will be remembered that he came very near getting the nomination last year, when Woltman was his com- petitor, but that the hue and cry about the German element killed him of for expediency’s sake, Croker lives and has his being in O'Brien's district, and has of late years had rather a tough time of it in working for Tammany. John Kelly will back him up strongly by every means in his power. Herr- man may possibiy be renominated, but it is not likely that Pat. Keenan will again be put on the ticket, the policy of Reman bein, jot to nomi- nate anybody who was an intime of the od Tam- many times. Besides Keenan is now an Apolloite in his sympathies, so Apollo may give him a chance. Woltman, Warden Brennan and Nelson W. Young are also anxious to get on the ticket, SUPREME COURT. The names of many prominent lawyers are men- tioned jor the two judgeships of this Court, but, strange to say, tae men whom the nominating powers would be the most ready to capture are the least willing to take the positions. Among others Mr. John McKeon has been mentioned and it is said a large number of the members of the Bar will urge his fitness upon the leaders, although his friends say, while fully appreciating the honor in- tended, he is in no way anxious to enter the lists. Ex-Judge Bosworth is also strongly urged by his friends and if he consents to the use of hts name he will doubtless make @ strong candidate in the judicial Convention. His age, however, is against him, Gideon Tucker is also in the fleld and his chances are not bad. Charles Donohue, who ran as the Tammany candidate for District Attorney last year, and ran well, and Abram R. Lawrence, who was the Tammany candidate for M» vr, are mentioned as probabie candidates, Judy .conard also being in the field. Lawrence cau set nomi- nated for the mere asking. Charles S. spencer and Ruius Choate are spoken of as probable candidates on the republican side of the house, SUPERIOR COURT. Two judges are to be elected for this Court, and asyetthere is nothing definite about the candi- dates, Judge Spaulding and Algernon 8. Sullivan nently mentioned, Sullivan refused the nomina- tion last year, and it is believed he will retuse again this year. Buck is a strong candidate in every respect. The strength he developed in the Convention iast year as a cancidate for City Judge will be sure to give hima large claim upon the Convention this year. A better choice than he Tammany could not make irom among all the aspirants for one of the vacancies. ExJudge Spencer is likely to loom up formidably also, The republicans have not as yet shown their hand or given auy indication as to who will be their candidates, MARINE Court. A good deal of interest centres in the contest for the two vacancies to be filled in this Court; not 60 much, indeed, on account of the importance of the positions as because there are two very strong parties among the democrats who will not pull! to- gether in the matter of the nominations, It is un- derstood that Judge Curtis is working hard for a renomination. It is true that the Senate last year did not sustain the articles of impeachment against him, be ey On reform democrats there is a fixed opinion that the iact of his having been even open to suspicion of bad conduct as a Judge is a sufficient reason why he should not be again put in the fleld. Of course suspicion of wrong doing 18 @ very flimsy charge on which to base @ political aspirant’s defeat, particularly when the suspicion has been routed in a proper trial beiore a competent tri- bunal; but there are many prominent men, even among the democrats, who have got it into their heads that the result of Judge Curtis’ trial was brought about ‘simply to counterbalance tue ac- quittalof Jadge Prindle, who was arepublican. It is this idea that will, in the opinion of many, spoil his chances for a renomination, and the present outiook gives bat littie hope that Tammany will give him a place on the judicial ticket. Among the | strongest candidates are Mr. James M. Sheehan, of the Twelfth ward, a lawyer of several years’ stand- ing, strong with the proiession and very popular with Doth sections O/ the democratic party. His claims for the nomination are of the most solid kind, and if nominated, as is now admitted, he is certain to strengthen Tammany’s ticket and to re- ceive endorsement from Apollo Hall. Foley's re- formers have already pot Mr. Sheehan on tueir slate. Civil Justice Quinn is also spoken of, but he tried hard for it last year and was not even mentioned in the Convention. The general impression among democrats is that Mr. Quinn is Well enough where he is, and that all his aspira- tions for the Marine Court will again come to naught. Judge Howland, who was appointed to filla vacancy on the bench of this Court by the Governor, is mentioned as a willing candidate, and, his iriends say, will have little trouble in se- curing @ nomination if he wants it. Ex-Judge Alker apd Civil a Kane are also, it 1s said, aiter one of thé prizes, COUNTY CLERK. Things are rather in a muddle as to this office, and but few names, that are well known to the city po- liticians have as yet come to the surface. Charies E, Loew, the present incumbent, wants another term, but will not persist if he can secure another oftice, of which a word will be said hereafter in its roper place. Antlony Eickhoff is anxious to take ew's place, and Wm. Walsh and Henry Gumbleton are also mentioned in connectton with the berth, The republicans are lying low in the matter, and claim that their candidate will be a man who will sweep the fleld, provided Apollo and Tammany have each a different candidate. FOURTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT. This district, the first Senatorial district in the city, formerly represented in the State Senate by “Boss’’ Tweed, has three candidates in the field. They are all democrats of course; tor a republican does not stand the ghost of a chance in the district for any office, They are James Hayes, Timothy Campbell and Denis Burns, members of Assembly last year. The comtest between the three is a bitter one, yet a friendly ome. Each is moving heaven and earth to win, and the wise men down town say that if the fight should continue to the day the convention meets an outside man will come in with his money bags and carry off the prize, and that ‘that man is Benjamin Wood. The three pie: however, understand Benjamin’s little plans, and it 1s said that each one has made a compact with the other not to ruin the best man’s chances by any ugly diversion against him, provided the other two find out that they are really in the minority. In other words, if Burns secures enough votes to nominate him Hayes will get out of the way, and vice versa if Hayes te gh that he has a majority of the delegates the day before the convention meets. Burne’ iriends claim that he has Brennan at his back and all the Snerif’s ofice patronage. Camp- bell is very confident that he will be the man, ana so ts Hayes. As matters now stand, therefore, it is very hard to foretell which is which in the district. FIFTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT. This district is a very close one at times, and, a8 & general rule, each party has to be careful in the selection of its men; for a bad man is almost cer- tain to get defeated, no matter what his politics may be. ‘True, Mike Norton used to represent it in the Ring times, but the district in those days really never got credited for all its vates cast one Way, While the repeaters made theirs certain ten to one in the Eighth ward the other way in case of hecessity. But now one man’s vote is as good as another's, The democratic candidate will prop- ably be Charles G. Shaw, @ young lawyer, well known in the city and especially in political circles. At least he seems to have the and Jerome Buck are thus far the most promi- | On the other side of tne house, James Ww: Booth, well known on account of the interest he takes in our public schools, and who last ye ar was elected @ Regent of the University, is the most formidable name yet mentioned. Charles Blackie, member of Assembly last year from the Thirteenth district, is also in the fleld on the republican side of the house and counts pongie upen Police Com- missioner Hugh Gardiner’s influence in the district to make his nomination a certainty. It is gen- erally conceded by the democrats that the nom- ination of Booth by the republicans would give them (the Se lag terrible up bill work to secure @& ictory or their own can- didate, The republicans, on _ the other are nal as confident _ that han y pants personal popularity alone could sweep the district, and freely confess that if Blackie gets the nomination the democrats will elect their man. Blackie’s connection with the new City Prison bill last year, it seems, has told inst him; besides, his affiliation with the Custom House party on cer- tain bills which his rather independent district did not relish has apparently increased his diificulties. To add to the complications in the district, Charles 8. Spencer also wants the nomination, and, if re~ port speaks truly, he swears pe will getit or do something desperat robably resign his commis- sion as colonel of the Fifth regimeni. SIXTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT. The republicans, it will be remembered, carried this district two years ago, during the reform whirlwind which © swept Svery nine tainted with Tammanyism out of existence. In reality, however, the district ig at heart democratic, and at all times when there isno undue excitement and a good man is run on the democratic ticket he ig sure to win, The German vote controls the dis- trict, and as it goes so goes the district every elec- tion. This oe the contest for Senator promises to be more lively than usual. Old Mr. Weismann, who was elected by a miracle in 1872, is laid on the shelf, and in bis place the republicans talk of putting in nomination Jacob Patterson, who represented one of the Assembly districts on the east side in the last Legislature. He is backed by* the Custom House strongly and is personally a for- midable candidate. On the democratic side of the House two names are mentioned, that of Charles E. Loew and John W, Chanler. It is conceded by the democrats that if the republicans put a Ger- man in the fleld they must follow suit; so if Patterson gets the republican nomination Chanler will have to take a back seat, Creamer is a power in the Seventeenth ward, which lies in this district, and his recent course at Utica would seem to promise on nis part no very cordial support of a Tammany can- diaate, unless Apollo should choese the same man. If the democrats split in the district they will be defeated to a certainty; but if Loew or some other well known Man, even more Ger- Man than he is, should be put in the field and sus- tained by Apollo and Tammany combined they can carry the day; but not otherwise, SEVENTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT. O’Brien is out of the fleid in this district, not to ay completely on the shelf. He is shrewd eneugh to know that he could not again carry it if his very lite depended by yr it, and 80 very wisely lets it be known that be Is no longer looking (or office. Still, on the east side, in the Eighteenth and Twenty- first wards, his influence is yet strong, even though diminished irom its ‘strength of two years ago By circumstances which it would be very hard to tully explain; aud with this influence he can make a good deal of trouble for a Tamman: man if Apollo should see fit not to join hands wit! her “regular” antagonist on legislative candi- dates, at least on candidates%or the Senate. There has been already a great deal of scandal in politi- cal circles abeut the way the nomination in this district has been bandied about pros- peckisiy by the Apollo men, and out of t all grew the decision of the Police Board, rather the dectsion of Oliver Charlick, last week, by which Tammany was put on par with, Inspectors. Char- Apollo in the matter of lick was anxious to get the nomination ft both Tammany and Apollo, and ade overtures accordingly. Tammany would have none of him, and her decision was made known to him in terms that must have made him wince. Then did Oliver swear eternal vengeance, though he calls himself a Tammany man, and, think ing to punish her severely, he gave Apollo an in- spector as well as Tammany. Part of his bar- gain was, they say, that Tammany would get two imspectors if she would ple er word for his nomination, What bargain he could nave made With Apollo to secure her support had Tammany acceded to his desires is one of those guestions which can only be fathomed on the east side. It would doubtless have been satisfactory. It is now betieved that Charlick will run on the Apollo ticket or have the say as to who must run, and some have it thata bargain has already been struck in this district by the Custom House to throw its: weight in favor of the Apollo man to defeat Tammany, ali the time having a dummy of its own in the field. This is, however, not credited in well informed circles—tirst, on the ground that the Custom House would have nothing to gain in Apolio’s stronghold in helping her; and second, that if Charlick should be Apollo’s candidate tie Custom House would be afraid to trust him, Three very strong names are spoken of by the Tammany people—Judge Ledwith, John McKeon, and Judson Jarvis. Mr. McKeon. it is said, does not want to get mixed up ac- tively in politics, and would not accept the nomi- nation if offered to him. Ledwith, it is conceded, would make any other candidate have a warm lume of it, His election to tne Police Justiceship against Sweeney’s influence a few years ago is the: best argument possible to show that he is not to be. despised ii he gets in the race. Judging trom etea: indications, however, Mr. Jarvis seems to ave the inside track. He is personally very popular in the district, ana has probably a wider acquaintance with the active and influential men in it than any other man who could be put in the field. Besides he has the Sheriff behind him, and Brennan is conceded to be a power in Tammany at all times, EIGHTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT. This district, the very largest in the city, has as yet not developed its real purpose—tuat is, neither party has yet openly exposed its plans. Harry Genet is still, under cover, a power in the district, and they do say that he has had more to say in the appointment of the demucratic election inspectors. for the district than all the Tammany and Apollo Hall men combined, even though Tammany retused & year ago to recognize him as a good Tammanyite, preferring rather to class him among the old Tam- mhany men than among the new. William Haw, Jr., is again on the surface for the Senatorship on the republican side, and on the demo- cratic side the names of Hiram Calkins and Crary, one of the members of Assembly last year from the district We mentioned. Calkins, so far, seems to have the inside track. It is said that Jolin Kelly has endeavored to get Charies U’Conor to run in the district, but that he has refused. THE ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS. Everything is so unsettled as yet asto the As- sembly districts that there is really nothing detl- nite about any one of them. THE CANDIDATES. To summarize, the general drift of opinion among the politicians seems to have fixed upon the tol- lowing as the probable candidates for the various omices on the democratic side of the house :— For Sherif—Jonn Fox, County Clerk—Charies E, Loew. Coroners—Richard Croker, Henry Woltman, War- den Brennan. Superior Court—Abram R. Donohue, Judge sy a Marine Court—James M. land, Congress, Eighth District—s, 8. Cox. Fourth Senatorial District—James Hayes. Fifth Senatorial Disirict—Charies P. Shaw. Sicth Senatorial Distrie-—Jonn W. Chandler. nth Senatorial District—Judge Jarvis. ighth Senatorial District—Hiram Caikins. The republicans so far have not as yet, appar- ently, awakened to the inct that there is tobe a city and county election next November as well 4s an election for State oMicers, so nothing definite can be said as to who their candidates tor the va- rious local, offices willbe. Of course between now and the meeting of the diferent city and county con- ventions the opinions o/ the democratic politicians May change considerably, and the above prob- abie slate be very different from what it now appears. Indeed tais is a very prob- able contingency, for, after the Convention adjourned at Utica last week, Governor Seymour and Francis Kernan, in @ talk with John ae advised tha. only the strongest and beat men in every way sould be pat in the fleld by Tammany for Jocal offices. This advice, coming from the source it did, will undoubtedly have full weight with the Tammany leaders, and so even the know- ing ones may be prepared at any moment to Witness @ total change of names for every office between now and the meeting of the Convention. THE EIGHTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. But a word need be said of the Eighth Congres- sional district. 8. S$. Cox seems to have the inside track and is working hard. Richard Schell’s friends are working like beavers for him, but Richard himself is not doing anything person- ally. He says if the nomination is tendered to him he will take it, but he will not go about begging people to give it to him. NEW YORK STATE ELECTION—NOV. 4, 1873.
