SS “THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN. The Politicians Working Like Beavers in the Assembly Districts, THE SPECULATIONS AS TO THE RESULT. The Fifth Congressional District Trouble ' and Tammany’s Action. Now that the regular, as well as ‘the so- calied iregular, parties im the city bave all placed their county candidates in the field, the local politiciins are gomg to work with re- doubled energy in the various districts. Tne ticket of the republicans is conceded to ve a strong one by the republicans; but the Tammany people assert that while the nomination of Wales will command the full repup- Kean vote it will not derive any strength from democratic quarters, They do not seem, however, to reilah the indorsement of the nomi- nation of General Jones for Register by the Re- publican Convention, and some of them already #0 30 far, even while predicting that Wickham will be ejected by 20,000 majority at the very low- est estimate, as to concede the General's election over James Hayes. It was believed by many on ‘Thursday last that Mr, Ottendorler would withdraw af @ man in every way acceptabdie to hisGerman supporters ana THE REFORM RLEMENT generally should be nominated by the republicans, provided George Van Nort was not considered to be that man by Mr. Murphy and his fellow mem- bers of the Nominating Committee; put if he had the slightest notion of withdrawing at all the nomination of Mr, Wales made nym abandon it at once, Mr. Ottendorfer's objection to Mr. Van Nort, it was understood, was his (Yan Nort’s) antagonism +o Green, and in the nom- nation of Mr. Wales he doubtless ‘saw a man quite as objectionable to the Uomp- troler a8 any map the republicans: could possibly pave selected. Mr. Ottendorier is, at any rave, 1m dead earnest now, and his German iriends are working like beavers in his behalf; and is Supporters, German and others, contend tnat he wili get.a handsome. majority over both. Wales and Wickham, They say that the refusal of the republicans to indorse bim has created a wide- spread leciing of dissatisfaction among THE GERMAN REPUBLICANS, iu the city. and who, while voting for Ottendorfer, mstead of Wa.es, will resent what they consider a gross insult on the part of the Republican Uonven- tion by supporting the democratic State ticket. On the other hand the republicans seem to have tne utmost confidence in the final triumph o! their ticket. They believe that Wales’ well known contempt for Green, which he gave such good evidence of when he denounced him so bitterly jaet June in bis letter resigning the position ol Park Commissioner, will be 01 immense service to him, im that it will rally to his support hundreds of «emocrats who wili vote tor hula, atmpty to express the high estimation in which they hold tne Com troller, However, there are republicans who do not put much Jaith in this, and believe tnat, as‘a rule, the democrats will vote for either Wickham or Otteadorfer, simply because they are democrats, regardless of whatever other issues may be involved in the campaign, The Creamer democrats indig- nantly deny the rumor tliat they do nov mean to work for Ottenaorier, and that they will confine their efforts exclusively to supporting General Jones for Register, The leaders say that every district is now thoroughly organized and that everything is working to a charm among ‘THE. INDEFENDENTS, and that the itveral republicans are heart and soul in the movement with them. Tammany's trouples in some of tne: Assembly districts they believe will do much toward 1ncreasing their vote. As to these, the Wigwam leaders contend that they will not tu any case iujure the county ticket; that ‘whe very iact of there being a row between ward leaders ina district over rival democratic candi- dates for Assembly will draw out atuller vote for the regular county candidates than if everything was plain sailing. In this connection it may be stated that the proclamation of the Tammany Committee on Organization yesterday, declaring that Judge Hogan and John Fox have struck a bargain with the reyublicans, and calling upon tue democrats to beware of iulse proplets in their midst, created @ Itvely sensation in the lower wards. it will be remembered that Fox apd Hogan bave both leit Tammany Hal the Jjatter to run gs an _ inaependen candidate against Edwin R. Meade for Congress from the Fiitn Oongressional district. Hogan is Very popular in the uiatrict and 1s considered a good fellow generally by the voters of the First Assembly district, and ‘he will doubtless poll jJarge vote, The Tammany people say that the Comunittee on Organization would not have made iu their special business to denounce Fox and Hogan but for the discovery tnat the latter in- vended not only to run as an independent demo- crat, Dui that the two bad made A BARGAIN WITH THE REPUBLICANS, whereby in exchange for republican votes for Hogan ior Congress Fox would arrange suinge 80 ‘thal the republican tickets with General Jones’ mame on them for Register would be run out of the democratic boxes in the district. This bar- gain, they say, Was made by Jobu Fox with Mr. jurphy at the rooms of the Republican Central Cominittee, where the Senator was introduced by Alderman Vance, the nignt the republican ticket Was made out, and that this bargain in part bronght about the indorsement of General Jones. How the whole quarrel in the district will end it would ve bard to conjecture. The Judge’s triends assert that ne will beat Meade; but the general opinion 18 that his vote imphe Firat, Second and fhird wards will be offset by the Eighth and four- teenth wards, Yesterday Biumentnal and Aasist- ant Alderman Brooks, of the Filteenth Assembly aistrict, resigned from the General Commit‘ee, this step betng rendered necessary in Blumenthal’s case by his nomivation as Alderman-at-Large on the independent democratic ticket, which be has mot as yet deciined, THE POLITICAL PROPHETS, There seems to ne a great diversity of opinion amoung tne knowing ones of botu to the probable vote that the election. as cast wo sor the success Of the republican ticket, This opmn- yon 18 based upon the idea that Tammany ts work- img Lo get out every vote, and that the Creamer men are determined not to be behindhand in hav- ang every one of their foliowers’ names on the lists, and that the repuviicans ure apparently not ex: erting themsehyes tu the same extent. The Tam- Many men generally velieve that the vote this year in the city wili be somewhere between 10,000 and 15,000 Jarger than that cast in 1872, The total vote then, im round numbers, was 134,000, and they say, placing the vote next November at 150,000, the Tammany ticket will be elected by, at ‘the very lowest estimate, 20,000 majority, 1p other words, they believe that they are exceed- tngly beral in their estimates in giving the re- puolicans 40,000 votes and the tndependents 25,000, Some of the Creamer democrats, on the other side, have an idea that the total vote will Dot be over 120,000, and that by reason of the large German republican vote Mr. Uttendortfer wil) certainly poll the vote for Wales will not exceed 40,000, Their vote, they say, including indepenaent democrats, liberal German democrats, German republicans and ‘Tammany Hall men who will vote against the Tammany ticketon the sorehead principle, will Teach 50,000, thus assuring them of a& majority of 10,000. It ' will be seen by this that they only allow 40,000 for Tammany. The figures as to their own vote are certainly rather extravagant. Indeed both tne repablicans and the Tammany people seem to ‘think ti the independents will only get at the utmost about 16,000 votes, and that irom this out the fight is really betweea Wales and Wickham, When the party calculators are 80 far apart their caiculauons as the above figures show them to be it 18 fully certain that somebody will be badly disappointed the day alter election.

Formation eof a Central Campaign Organization—Preparations for = De- monstration. e The Central Committee of the German Citizens and Reform Associations beid a special meeting at the Germania Assembly Rooms last night lor the purpose of effecting a therough organization, ‘The attendance was very numerous, and nearly every district of the city was represented by a fall delegation. The entire assembiage seemed to be im the pest of spints and determined to. enter apen a vigorous — campaign against the new Tammany Ring.

M. Pewshaw, Colonel Deugier and Charles M. Eisig, and Henry Aptenrieth, Treasurer. On motion an executive committee of twenty-five was jormed, The headquarters of this committee will be at Irving Hail.

The Candidate of the Bolters Will Ruan for Mayor. Hon. THOMAS J. CREAMER, Chairman of the Cooper Institute Mass Convention :— Sm—Aware, from the con‘erences and deltbera- tlons preceding‘tne meeting over which you pre- sidea, and velieving the main object of that meet. ing and of the movement in, which we are engaged to be directed toward effecting the emancipation of our municipal affairs from the aespotism of poittical parties, I consider it my duty toaccept the nomination as candidate jor Mayor tenderea tome by the mass convention held at Cooper In- stitute. Close observation and a careful study of our manicipai administration have led me to the con- viction of the impossibility of maintaining the greatness and prosperity of our: city—nay, of escaping the Most disastrous consequences—ii our citizens will not come to the frm determination of allowing bo longer ambitious politicians to use the interests of their city as the ootball of their schemes, We aMilate politically with one party or the other which in our opinion is most apt to carry out the principles that are deemed py us essential toward securing the welfare of the people, The questions which in most cases influence tne decis- ton of the citizen in favor of one or the other party have no application to our municipal admin- istration. It is of no consequence, as far as the economical and efficient administration of our city is concérned, whether one or the other of the political parties is in power at the State or the national capital, But it is of paramount impor- tance that our municipal interests should not be- come the footstool for the schemes of politicians, that the application of a large portion of the taxes raised from the people should not be used for appeasing the greed of the drones and hangers-on of the political parties instead of using them exclusively for the proper conduct of our city government, for the matntensnce of law and order, for the better security of the life, health and property of our citizens; for the support of our pubiic institutions, and of such improvements as are requisite in Maintaining in future tne rank of our city as the metropolis of the country. Te subordination of our city interesia to the rule of political parties ts therefore of no benefit; it is rather a curse. We cannot possibly derive any advantage for our city from the beneficial labors of a party; but we have to feed with our best marrow the worst out- croppings of party rule, which under the present organization seem to de inseparable from it. If the sad experiences which we have made in this direction are insufficient to induce the citizens of New York to rise in mass, in order to guard against that hydra of political despotism which threatens to crush our city within its coils, then it would be in vatn to make any further attempt of proving the necessity of a movement by the inde- pendent citizens, I tor my part have confidence in the intelligence | and the civic patriotism o1 the citizens that they | will realize this purpose and jully comprehend the duties arising therefrom. I do not believe that they will allow themselves to be deterred from the (ulfliment of their polga sons by partisan con- atdératiogs or prejudices of any kind, but will be resolved to make @ practical attempt in this direc- tion possible. I therelore accept the nomination tendered to me. I have no pledges to make, and assume no obliga- tions but these, that 11 elected to the office I wih ‘use all my edforts, a5 iar as it is within the power of the chief magistrate oi the city, to help in secur- Ing for the city a capable, economical and efficient admunistration. 1 do not desire to gain apy votes by false pretences or by means which in our elec- tions are commonly made use of, but are mostly based on deception. Whoever votes for me must do it with the conviction that he #impty performs his duty es @ citizen, and not with the expectation of placing me under an obligation of turthering | ambitious or seidsh schemes, Accepting the nomination upon these grounds, Ihave no tnteation of casting any refiection upon the personal character of the gentlemen who have been placed {In nomination for the same ot- fice by the different political parties. They may be animated by the best motives; they may ve equally determined fn the event of their election to suid che obligations devolving upon them jo the most conscientious manuer; but the water cannot rise higher than its source. It will be 10 insuit if I say that if i office they will find them- selves powerless to resist the influences brougnt to bear upon them by the parties to whom they are indevted lor their election; they will be sorced to use the patronage ana influence of their oftice for satisfying the claus of their party rather than for the weltare of the city; the elements and tnfu- ences that placed wem in office will weigh upon them like a nightmare and crush down their best | intentions, Neither do 1 mean to cast a sugpicion upon the | leaders of the political parties that made the nom- ination, It1s their business and their vocation to | raise booty for their hungry coadjutors. It 1s less surprismg that they look upon the city of New York, with ite wealth and resources, as a rich pasture ground for their greeay hangers-ov, but it is certainly astoutshing that (he citizens of New York shouid consent to a'low their hearths to be used for such purposes. Whatever their intentions might be, they have entered upon a dowawa path, and, wita tue inexorable certainty of a law | of nature, they travel toward the same abyss at which the ormer leaders of the Ring had arrived before their downiall. How long or snort a time At will take before this is done will easentiaily de- pend upon the energy, the recklessness and iack of conscience exhibited by the characters that push themselves to the front, and it need now be | mentioned that our city offers a (ertile soll for the germination and growth of political adventurers | of the worst sort, | One more subject I must allude to betore closing. | The wisdom of your mass convention has becu questioned in conferring the honor of a nomina- | iion for the chtel executive Office of our etty upon | an adopted citizen, Not admitting jor a moment the justice of nativistic prejudice, | recognize that | # citizen, whose cradle has stood within the cor- | porate limits of our cit would naturally be quicker inclined to bring the sacrifice and exbibit the devotion hecessary iar & proper periormance of the duties jacambent upon the Mayor than an avopted citizen who las come to these shores at a ripe age. 1 am iniormed that the enbemen who have orimnated toif movement have taken all possible pains te induce one of our native born citizens to accept the nomination, I myself have made the greatest efforts m this direction, and permitted the use of my name only in the case that no other citizen, a worthy representative of | our cause, should be (ound willing to accept.

The attendance was very smali yesterday at Fleetwood Park, notwitustanding there were two very important trottiag contests au- nounced to come off. The cause of this want of patronage ts the high tarim charged at the gates for admission. Two dollars is con- sidered too much lor the amusement, and people will not pay Where the price of admis- sion is reasonable, like it was at the Poughkeepsie trotting meerm1—ftty cents to the course and fifty more for u place on the grand stand—tne crowd was immense, and the same result, it is thought, would ve at Fiectwood Park and other | places where are charged simular rates, The | | | | track was in admirable condition for trotting yes- terday and tast time was the result. Two trotting contests were on the card, the first between horses that hud uever beaten 2 and the second between horses that belonged to the 2:29 class. There wera erght starters in the trst comprising the vay mare Zephyr, brown gelding Cheston, black gelding Git Edge, bay mare Pau- Mune, sorrel gelding T. G.

Casey's black mare Lady Byrov, Ben Wilson's bay mare Carrie and gray geiding Ben Smith. Mary A. Whitney won the first heat, Vanity Fair she second, Whitney the third aud Vanity Fair the fourth, when the race was postponed un- til to day at one o'clock. Bella was the favorite over the field, at long odds, before the start, and she continued to be until Mary Whitaey had won two heats, when the latter had the call. At ihe completion of the fourth heat Vanity Fair was the favorite over the fleld. The following are the details :-— The First Trot. First Heat.—Zephyr wus the favorite, Pauline Second choive.

Daly won the first hear, beating Andrew one length under the wire, when, despite this and Daly’s well known speed, Anaurew continued the tavorite over the fiekt at the unprecedentedly large odds of 350 to $20, Andrew secured the second heat. when Daly's ariver was cautioned by the judges to be careful of the manner in which he handed him, as ic was their impression he bad not driven to win, Daly won the third heat, Andrew being second, but suill the latter was tue favorite two to one over the field. The fourth heat was credited to Frank, Andrew being second, Fanoy W. tuird and Daly jast, who lost a shoe and also ‘a boot in the race and ran irom the head o: the streten to the Stand, Some of tie crowd wanted Daly distanced, but the judges, who had tielr eyes opeu and were iully competent to dispose of the rather pe- cullsy matter, did not shut tne gray wut, but placed Jolu Troutin the sulky and told olm to win if ne could, Andrew beat Daly nome @ head tn the flith heat amid great cheering. By this time it Was last growing Gark, and the judges determining that justice and fair play should rate the day, oraered James McKee to get up benind the gray gelding. Here was the excitement.
