THE CAMPAIGN. —_-———- The Local Politicians Rolling Up Their Sleeves. THE PARTY BANNERS. What the Rank and File Think of the Tammany Ticket. THE STATE COMMITTEES. Now that Tammany has flung her flag to the breeze and the fat has gone forth that Wickham and Hayes are the “regular” local democratic standard bearers and ¢bat all democrats who manifest the slightest opposition to the desires of the magnates of the wigwam will be treated as revels and ever hereaiter be shut out from the spails of office, the faithful followers of the party are putting themecives in working trim. The Ward leaders are now expected to do their whole duy in “fixing things,” and they know right wel that there must be no dilly dallying over it and that no excuse will be received at head- quarters for any shortcomings in the work of the campaign. Indeed many of the clubs, other than the long established district clubs which are to be the rendezvous of the unterrified, nig and day irom now till the day of elec- tion, were organized a day or so alter Tilden’s momination, and it ie aid that up town a Tilden clud had all its oMcers elected the day before the Syraase Convention met. To the unsophisticated this pecullar foresightedness may seem to be something wonderiul; but in some portions of the city teformed Tammany seems to be as wide awak in taking time by the forclock as were the “Boss? and his henchmen in THE PALMY DAYS OF THE RING MASTERS. Any ole who may have doubted this before the ‘Tammany Convention met on Saturday last, and who hid occasion tobe in the neighborhood of Thirty4irst street and Fourth aveuue on Saturday evening, must have noticed the large banner that ‘Was swung across the street with the following Imscription, in big letters:—“For Mayor, William H. Wictham; jor Register, James Hayes.”” When itis taken into consideration that Mr. Wickham and Mr. Hayes were not nominated until about half-pat seven o’clock on Saturday evening, the expermess of the banner artist must excite the admirdion of every good voter in the city who believe that the independence of a democratic convention nowadays is @ great improvement over the way the Boss of 1870 used to make the boys to} the mark before they were allowed to enter tie Wigwam as delegates. A HERaLD re- porter vho was rather mystified by the appearance of the mnner so quickly after the adjournment ofthe fonvention, accosted @ politician in the ward yesterday as follows:—‘There’s a good deal of workon that banner,” and he pointed to the canvas. “There is that,” was the reply, ‘an’ it’s & good jenny it’ll take to pay for it.”” The reporter suggest that the man who painted it must have had a dq@en assistants to get it ready so soon after theConvention had adjourned, The politician ‘Prinhed broadly and remarked, “Oh, yes: I aare say. Yoisee Wickham is a name you don’t come across very often, and it must have taken at least two men to spell it while six others painted a letter eash at the same time. That’s the only way they coud have got it ready, unless” (and bere the wire-puller gave the reporter a nudge in the Tibs) ‘‘unjess the whole thing was painted to order days before the nominations were made.” This negative “unless” told the whole story, and will, no doubt, convince every one of the members of the Convention who went to the wigwam free (!) to vote for whom he pleased, that any man who could even dream of a Tammany banner, with the names of the candidates emblazoned upon it, be- ing made ‘te order” before the candidates were mominated, Dust be either a republican or—one of “THE INNER CIRCLE” of the democratic party. The reporter, much edified, after gazing fondly on the banuer for a jew minutes, weaded his way to the shop of an “artist” whefor years has made banners to be bung ous on the outer walls of democratic and republican verd clubs. The good ariist was busily engaged printing on a huge piece of canvas @ banner which had on it the foliowing woras:— “Regular Damocratic-Republican Nomination for Congress.” The artist stated that it was ‘io order,” but wauld not let tlhe reporter know what mame was to necede it, “because,” said he, “the candidate ant nominated yet, and if tet the th: out migot lose some ood jobs.” jt was nothing new for him, e said confidatially, to have banners ready with the names of ciadidates on them several days be- fore they werdnominated, “Ihave been in the Dusiness for yars,” said he, “and I never knew the time but one when the names didn’t turn out all right when ;he conventions met. The excep- tion was in th case of a candidate who Was ‘thrown’ the nigt before the Convention met, be cause another mn had more money than he had.” This much ior te sudden appearance of political banners, which # often puzzle the uninitiated, who are always at @lqs to know by what system of “en- terprise” they ay turned out so quickly after the men whose nam@ are placed on them as candi- dates are nominapd, The spiritualists do not com- prehend it. It tould seem that many will need a may banners ‘during the coming three weeks if ‘reular”’ banners are to be a power against rebellion mong, the faithiul, for there is ubquestionably a jeling of great discontent at the action of the Tamiany Convention among THE B CLASS OF DEMOURATS, who do not makita practice to vote at every jection, but who, ince the Committee of Seventy jowed independat voters of both parties just what they could jo once they went to work beartily, do not foow their party biindly in city matters. Expressins of dissatisfaction met one everywhere, and e¥n several of the proiessional litcians in the Vajous districts, whose sole hope advancement inine futare lies in Tammany’s triumph at the enging election, in speaking in favor of the ticket \nd declaring that it wasa strong ticket, spoken a way that showed plainly Pin to that everyting was not to their liking. Still, the leadersin thdistricts say that tnere musi always be a certain mount of grumbling during @ campaign amon; faithiul, but that the rank and file, good, bad af indifferent, on the oer or election will go to the polis and vote the straignt ticket without a gimace. The Tammany wire- pullers in the variou wards laugh at the idea of an opposition ticketbeing successful. Tney pro- tess to know, the nijority of them, that the re- publicans will run an out-and-out republican ticket, and say that te election of Wickham is as certain as that he is he reguiar nominee of the ‘People may Alk as they picase about the Gel democrats a! oe the party if a Ger- man democrat 1s put i the flei inst the regular candidate,” minent Tammanyite to « AERALD reporter yolerday; “it’s all bosh.

The gentlemen who °, the active work of the State Committee in thi city were busily engaged sterday wi @ers from the country dis- cts and § attendin; to applica from ‘would-be orators, whore ‘anxious fo atetinguish themselves on the stum in telling the innocent voters what good and feat men cand! are, and how proud the ought to teel to a] ‘that it 18 their brief clog a gh all. ce. alle among the visitors at newlquarters, He reported for the democ- on fuely in bis di ports were received from the y district that, despite the split on local can- @idates, tne two democratic factions would vie with one another to see which could poll the heav- jest vote jor the State ticket. Mr, Swan said thar all the news ne had from the imterior was good news, and the rather aston!sbing statement was made by a gentiewan from Chemung county that Charley Walker would carry the district for Con- gress (Chemung, Steuben &nd Allegany counties) and that the district would give @ majority for Tilden. This statement seems to be rather @ wild one, in view of the fact that the district gave the republican candidate two years ago over 3,000 ma- the democratic erything going jorny. Stull the gentleman who made it does not usually induige in wild cat stories about the election, and the Tilden men may, therefore. take what comfort they can out of the news. The visitors from the country laugh at the notion that the democratic voters of the mterior considered the Tammany county ticket such @ Weak one that they would feel jusul- fled in voting against Tilden ag A REBUKE to the men who put Hayes in the field. “The tucket,’? said one of them, “was foreshadowed tn advance, and it was fully discounted in the conun- try before the Convention assembled,” One of the most gratifying pieces of intelligence received by te democratic committee was that conveyed in & letter from @ tarmer in St. Lawrence county, who said thet he had always voted tie republican ticket, but that he, and many of his Tepublican acquaintances had come to the con- clusion that there ought to be a change. ‘‘We are not democrats,” said the writer of the letter, “bu i! we vote the republican ticket this fall, and it gets elected, the hington administration will take it as an indorsement of all they have been doing, good and bad, for the last twelve months, This indorsement | don’t want 10 give, so Jar as I am concerned, Some of my neighbors teel just as ldo. Id like to vote again for Dix, but he has not said @ word about THE GOINGS ON AT WASHINGTON, and so I guess he’s not so independent after all.” The Tepublican commties people were as busy bees during the day and evening. Major Gener: Glidden, who has charge of the business of the com- mittee, has not been able, they say, to take more than one meal—three one-half pieces of toast and a cup of tea—a day since his work began, and he has to steal out to get that, and yet he expects to be alive on election day. He is in daily receipt of communtcations from the country districts—re- publican workers, who all —_ cheering accounts of the situanon, It was stated by a gentleman who resides in the adjoining county to Allegany, that the republican candidate for Congress woud be elected beyond a doubt, and that outside of Chemung county, Walker, the democratic candi- date, has not the ghost of a show. So it will be seen that both the democrats and republicans, ac- cording to their respective statements, have a dead sure thing in the Twenty-eignth district, General Glidden and Mr. Fdward Johnson, all the way irom Steuben county, said yesterday that they feit certam that the temperance movement would not take enough voters irom the repubil- can party to JEOPARDIZE DIX’S SUCCESS, Johnson, wno knows all the temperance men in the State, and probably all their samiliey, has cer- tainly @ poorer opinion of their strength than the democrals {rom the interior, who say that the coldwater men are determinea this time to poll such @ vote that hereafter the republican and dem- ocratic party alike will listen to reason when they demand stringent laws to regulate the trafic in benzine and Other choice drinks, which so many roiessiona! politicians have a great weakness for. ie members of tne Republican Committee ao not put faith in the democrats’ assertion that Lanning will beat Alberger in the Erie district. As for the liberaig thelr committee represented them yesterday at the St. Denis. Their work was not very onerous, andthe indications do not promise very lively times in their quarters. It would seem that the liberal party is rather down in the heel altogether, not only in the State but especi- ally in this city. Tammany treated them with contempt when the honorable John wanted to conier with the sachems about the county ticket Jast Saturday, and it was rumored that tie Tepuolicans Will do likewise on Wednesday. The fact seems 1o be that the liberals want 9. be hey represented on some of the tickets when sya have not @ decent battalion of voters in the city. SERENADE 10 WICKHAM. Speech of the Democratic Candidate for Mayor—A Loving and Unpartisan Demonstration. A serenade was given last night to Mr. William H. Wickham, the candidate of the Tammany Hall democracy for the post of Chief Magistrate of this city. The demonstration was arranged by the Tammany Central Association, and the serenad- ing party, numbering about jour hundred persons, met im the rooms of that or- wanization, at No 103 East Thirty-frst street. They started from there about ten o'clock, taking with them Grafulla’s Band. On the party arriving and having arrayed themselves before the residence of Mr. Wickham the musi- cians began to play ‘Hail to the Chie/,”’ and before the sounds of the instruments had ceased the Mayoral candiaate appeared in the portal of his house. He was immediately addressed by the President of the association, Mr. David, who in a short speech told bim that his numerous friends in the Eighteenth Assembly District were come to pay tim honor. They were not gathered, the speaker assured Mr Wickham, as mere political partisabs, but as admiring friends and neighbors. ‘There was considerable skill shown by Mr. Wick- ham in bis reply, for he caught at the idea that those before him were gathered without regard to. poiltical sentiments and simply to show their per- sonal respect for him. He said:— I would be doing injustice to my feelings if I did not express myself a8 eer cs to you for thi em for me. itisall the more ‘tated, | am assured by your pea not by partisan. motives, Dut by the personal leelings toward we of my friends and neighbors.

The latter looked on curiously for the few secends while several friends of Mr. Wickham were follow- ing bim, and several cries were made for ‘‘Kelly!”” 43 It had been thought that John Kelly would ve present at the demonstration. He was not pres- ent, however; perhaps because he did not want,to give @ poiitical aspect to the affair, At the direc- tion of the portly Warden Brennan, who was chairman of the Oommittee of Arrange- ments for the serenade, tne band played “The Star Spangied Banver,” and aiter- wara the “Beautiiul Blue Danube.” The fitness of the latter piece of music to the tune will be readily discovered if everybody will remember firat that it was set some time ago to verse, whose refrain ts, “We do 16 for love, for love, jor love,” and after- ward that toe serenade was purel: un political demonstration. All the selections periormed wy, the band were played with fine effect. hile the manner of their performance marked the skill of the musicians, their characters marked the cosmopoutan character of Mr. Wick- ham’s loving friends and neighbors. There were Irish atrs in plenty, irom “The Harp that once thro’ Tara’s Hall’ to “St. Patrick’s Day,” and these delighted the Celts in the oer German feeling was Sppealea to with “Die Wacnt am Rhetn, which the bands played with extraordinary power; patriotism was stirred by the recital of our own national airs, while the French and an aes- thetic young man behind the writer were accord the music of “La Pertchole.” The serenade was ended with “Auld Lang Syne,” and t! =e three hearty cheers for Mr, W! jispersed, THE MAYORALTY. Mr. C. A. Dana is Nominated and De- clines—Letter of the Committee, New York, Oct. 12, 1 4. Mr. ©. A. DANA:— , HonorgD Sik—The Subscrivers are a committee appointed by the County Convention of the “In- dustrial Political Party” of the State of New York, heid at Masonic Hall on Wednesday the 7th inst. We need not say to you that no ordinary condi- tion of public affairs has led to this banding to- gether of the industrial masses of this city, or that this movement is to-day progressing throughout the land; nor need we dwell upon the extreme depression which bas become apparent to all thoughtrul citizens. Merged in the depths of want, driven to the verge of starvation, despair and death, with the iron heel of despotism resting upon their necks, taxed beyond all power of endurance or ability to liquidate claims, shorn of their rigttfal choice in placing their servants in responsible trasts by the vesting of appointing power in individuais holding high positions, the industrial classes, citi. zens of this boasted 1d boasting Repubiic, learned, when the chains of slavery were riveted ‘upon their limbs, that toeir confidence had been misplaced! Their chosen rulers had assumed to be their imperial masters!

Corruption festered wm the sacred precincts of the halls of govern” ment, while the people vatnly looked for a hand to Stay the tide. As we enter upon the political campaign of 1874 we find ourselves upon the eve of a revolution More portertous and probably more direful in its oo any event the world bas ever wit- esse: While chiefs of the highest administrative de- partments of the government go junketing about summer resorts, piostiiucing our system of repub- ean simplicity to the attractive though lurid ‘eave Oi affected customs peculiar to royuity, the isturbing elements ‘her in a gloomy cloud on the horizon of the peopie’s ‘uture, charged with all the volcanic intuences which the certain ap- proach of want, nakedvess and hunger may at aby moment Jan into a consuming flame. ‘The consummate wisdom which alone comes of vast experience, learning and sympathy with the industrial sphere, or by endowment from that all- wise Power which doeth all ar ‘weil, 18 needed dor our chief reliance to guide the ebiip of State safely through the terrific ordeal we are about to Foreseeing the terrible calamities which must inevitabiy be huried upon our heads tn the full- ness O| time, the people sought the source from feta ning should come their succor tn the hour of need, On every hand they witnessed in the ts of authority that complacent indifference to the People’s need and rights, which Js only-associated with the enjoyment of possessed wealth and place. ‘The fact became apparent; the people must rise vo the surface, seize and hold the reins of govern- ment, or they were lost beyona redemption. Scarcely more than a year ago a jew of those who suffered most, earnest workers in the cause of labor reform, met in solemn council in the heart Of this metropolis, itsel! the heart of our noble country, and there upon the altar of eternal union solemnly pledged themselves, each to eacu other, to leave no means untried purge corruption from our midst and to elevate the Mmdustrial ee to the enjoyment of them just and equai rights. Quietly the work then and there inaugurated moved along; not like the unbridled cycione, leaving ruin to testify to ita labors, but rather as the mighty current—the father of waters—irre- Sistible, majestic, bearing upon its bosom the commerce of nations, and yet capable of greater work, serving the iuterests of industgy and dely- ing the attempts of man to sway it irOm its course. At the opening of the current year this move- ment took jurmal shape at Albany.

GRNTLEMEN—I thank you very cordially, ana thank your constituents also, for the compliment paid me in your nomination for Mayor of New York. I appreciate it most highly, because it comes fresh and direct from the people, and not from an old organized party. I am, however, un- able to accept it. While I recognize the obliga- tion of every call of public duty upon every citi- zen, I am convinced that, whatever I might be abie to do for you as Mayor, Ican serve you more efficiently in my present occupation as editor. J agree with you entirely as to the necessity of a real reiorm in the government of this city, which shall cbeck the progress of municipal devs and the alarming increase of taxation. This increase now goes on under every party and every admin- istration, if Tweed and Connoliy were mor rapid, Green and Havemeyer are none the lei sure. To the workingmen especially this is a mat- ver of vital concern; for in the end the taxes are paid out of their labor and the burden falls with peculiar hardship upoa them in the torm of enor-. mous rents, the enhanced cost of every necessary of. life, aud above ail, in the stagnation of business, the stopping of work, and the generat want and danger to which you so .eelingly refer. 1 rejoice, therefore, at every manilestation of political independevce on tneir part. It is only ‘When honest men of every name exhibit a deter- Mination to revolt against the management of party leaders and to select their own candidates jor themselves, that parties can be kept witnin the bounds of decorum and be made to pay adue regard to the public weliare in selecting thar nominees.

He goes to Congress for another two years, and Gen- eral Cogswell, his vanquished opponent, must be content with the insignificant honors afforded him as tne chief magistrate of the ancient city of Salem. The determined opposition which had grown up in some quarters was not sufficient | to wrest the nomination from the “distinguished” Statesman, and he has now Carried it off for the fourth time in triumphant succesgion. There is not Ukely to be & balk on the part of the disafected, and if there was it would scarcely hazard the chances of General Butler’s re-election by a hand- some majority. There may be a few of his “most bitter enemies” who will scratch the ticket, but the majority of the’ party throughout the district will probably look upon his re-election as an event of manilest destiny, The Convention which did the business here to-day was very large in numbers, nearly every delegate chosen veing present in person or represented by & faithful and instracted substitute, The deie- gates were men of very positive opinions on the General's fitness or unfitness for further Congres- sional honors, and long before the boty asaembied the discussions among them were very animated and pumerous. ‘The body having been called to order an organt- zation was effected by choice of Henry Carter, of Bradford, tor Chairman. Upon taking the chair he expressed his thanks for the honor ot being se- jected to preside over the deliberations of the ov- caston. Following the speech of Mr. Carter there was some routine business, and finally a ballot for a candidate, which resulted as ioilows:— Whole numoet of votes cast, 116, Generat B. F. Butler had 100, General Willtam Cogswell 9, E. F, Stone 6, W. P. Phillips 1, The Convention refused to make the nomination of General Butler unanimous. Messrs. Hurd, of Ips- wich, Couch, of Newburyport, and Martin, of Marbiehead, Were appointed a committee to wait upon General Butler and escort him to tne nail. While the Convention was watting for the ap- Dearance of General Butler Colonel Jonas French was called upon to address it. He said the work bas been periormed, the result is before us and the man who will appear in @ moment 1s the man who, trom his great big head, will tell you how he appreciates it. GENERAL BUTLER’S APPEARANCE was the signal for an enthusiastic outburst of ap- plause, The delegates gave cheer after cheer with great enthusiasm. After he had been formally presented to the Convention he spoke as follows:— ‘Mr, CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE ConyeNTION—i am most deeply sensible of the recognition of the renewed confidence of my fellow citizens by tuis nomination. I accept the responsibilities of the position and honora— the very great honor which it confers.

EEE COREE The Steamer Cambridge Wrecked Of the Coast ot Maine—Rescue ef All the Passengers and Baggage. Boston, Oct. 12, 1874. A special despatch from Rockland, Me., states that the steamer Cambridge, of the Boston and Bangor line, left there last night for the !atter city, but anchored in Lobster Cove on account of thick weather. At eleven P. M. the fogdifted and the boat got under way; the anchor was hardly got up, however, before the fog shut down again, She was running under one bveli when she strock on Long Ledge, at the mouth of Seal Harbor.

When word came to Rockland of the dice . ter tl jteamer Clara Clarita and @ schooner were sent to take off the balance of the cargo. The pas- sengers and baggage were taken off by the | schooner Ubase and conveyed to Kockland. Atove o’clock this morning strenuous efforts were made by three steam tugs to get the steamer Cambridge of the rocks, but they Were of no avail. Captain 0. B. Sanford has no hopes of getting her off. What disposition will be made of her is nut yet known. Her coal was all thrown overboard and ber chains taken out to lighten her, but she still sticks just, She is badly strained. The ladies’ cabin is filled with sheep. The owners have not yet decided what to go witn her, Atall nts it is saie to say that tne Cambridge will never come off the ree! | whole. She was uninsured. ADIRONDACK MUBRAY. Resignation of the Boston Divine of the Park Street Church. Boston, Oct, 12, 1874. The public have been greatly surprised to-day at the announcement of the resignation of tne Rev. W. H. H. Murray of the pastorate of the Park street church. Mr, Murray, it will be remembered, ts the clergyman who has of late years been somewhat identified in controversies concerning the Adirondack Mountains. He has also at- tained considerable celebrity as a clerical Jehu. As & minister be bas _ bee! regarded as of the He aunounced his communication which he rea the close of the services yesterday forenoon. In this communication ne states that he finds suc @ want of unanimity in the church and society in | the carrying out of the plan of an associate pastor as to\render it advisable, in his judgment, for tim not.to press the matter further. It is nis inten- tion to remain tn Boston and organize a church with a doubie itorate, with @ house of sumMicient capacity to furtiish good sittings at a price which the poor even can afford to pay. His resignation will take effect November 12. CHUBOH OF THE MESSIAH. Rev. Robert Collyer Cordially Invited to the Pastorate. In accordance with a suggestion which appeared im the HERALD some weeks ago, the society of the Church of the Messiah, corner of Park avenue and ‘Thirty-iourth street, called the Rev. Robert Collyer to their pastorate, It will be remembered that on the occasion of the great fre in Caicago the church im that city in which Mr. Vollyer was oMfciating was destroyed by fire, and in rebuilding, several citizens of Boston, admirers of Mr, Collyer, Applanse, Vda ry ) contributed very generously to the building fund, Mr, Collyer, therefore, although the offer to come to New York was pi larly acceptable, felt that he could not con trust without being forma! . A meeting was held ih the chapel ot t rch last evening io ascertain What arrangements could be effected, The meeting was bdut fairly attended, but sentiment was unanimous that it would be for the best interests of the church to obtain, if possible, the services of Mr. Collyer. Mr. Van Shaick moved that a commit- tee Of three be appointed to visit Boston to advise witn the gentlemen whom Mr. Collyer had named in his letter to be consulted and by whose decision he proposed fo abide. Tne resolution was adopted, and the chairman appointed as such committee Mestre, Olmstead, Hale and Tliguman, with in- structions to report as speedily as possible.

TRAGEDY IN THE BLUE MOUNTAINS. ene A Quarrel for a Mate Between Brothers—The Loves of “Big Sal”— Death Among the Hills—Was It Mur- der or Accident? MonTaGNB, N. J., Oct. 12, 1874, Up in the Bue Mountains, not far irom here, in awiid and unirequented spot, lives a tamily by the name of Litts, belonging to a class little, if any, above the suvages, and living mostly by the rod aud gun. 1m tue family were two brothers, named William and Lewis, both of whom bad be- come infatuated with a girl of their own class named Sarah Cardiey, but Known as “big Sal,’? on account of her great size.

Lewis Litts declares that hig story is true, and he has made no attempt to go away. Public opinion ts divided as to the tragedy. Many—viewing it comparea witn the circumstances of the quarrel of the brothers and the lecling between them—think Lewis took ad- vantage of William while hanting and shot him.

The Performance at the Academy of Music. An appeal to the people of New York on behalt of the Orphan Aaylum is certain to meet witha generous response. The institution is deservediy Popular with our people, and tne object of the charity commends itself to every heart, Few who have not examined into the practical working of the asylum can form @ just conception of the amount of good tt accomplishes. Its benefits are not confined to the little ones rescued from cruel deaths and more cruel lives, but olten extend to unfortunate mothers, who are redeemed trom sin and misery and saved in body and sou! through its efforts. The expenses o: the charity are neceasar- ily heavy, and its good work caunot be curtailed, however iow tts funds may be. A poor infant, alone in the world, cannot be shut out from the asylum, and so the little family must go on in- creasing in numbers whatever may be the con- dition of the treasury. There should be no limit to the means paees at the di of svch an in- stitution, ior the practical benefits it confers on the community are of inestimable value, leaving out of view questions of humanity and Christianity. A matinée periormance at the Academy of Music in aid of the funds of the asylum has been arranged lor Tuesday, November 20, and the number and character Of the persons who have been active in promoting the movement give assurance that it will yield a substantial return. Many of our lead- tng citizens are on the list of managers, aad the ladies, a8 usual, take the lead in ineurtng success, Mr, Daly, Mr. Lester Wailack and other proprietors of the principal theatres, always prompt to respond to such an Appeal, will take care that the perform- ance is attractive on its own merits, while the ob- ject to be accomplished will, it is hoped, enlist the sympathy of the citizens generally in a manner that will afford valuable relief to the treasury of the asylum. .
