THE ELECTION. The Political Struggle in New York To Be Decided To-Day. CANDIDATES FOR STATE AND CITY OFFICES. Expectations of the Politicians as to the Final Result. 6 A.M. 4P.M. POLLS OPEN POLLS CLOSE - ‘To-day will be a memorable day in the political his- tory of New York city. It will mark the end of one of the bitterest contests ever held in the city, and the fact that elections are to be held in twelve States adds to the general interest felt in the election, Mlinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin being the States which are to decide upon their political fate. Now York is to choose State officers, members of tho Benate and Assembly, four justices of the Supreme Court anda member of Congress (in the Thirty-third district), “HOME RULE” BROUGHT HOME. In this city the contest 1s of the most paramount Im- portance to the voter and taxpayer. It cannot be do- nied that to the honest citizen, without distinction of party,ithe pivot on which the result of to-day’s work will turn will be the election of Recorder Hackett. and Dis- trict Attorney Phelps. These two men or their succes- sors will to a very considerable degree control the lives and the property of the citizens of this metropolis, aid thore 1s a certainty, from all present indications, that the honest men of New York will turn out in mag- nificent numbers to-day to vindicate their claim to a pure and efficient administration of justice. Per- haps in the whole political history of the world there has never been such deep | concern manifested in regard to the election of a single judge as has marked the canvass which has just closed. The spectacle presented during this canvass | was one well calculated to inspire hopes of a brighter political future for this much-abused city, for here were press and public striking hands regardless of party lines to maintain a spotless judiciary, and to break the one-man power which bas so long been sapping the very foundations of good republican government, JOHN KELLY’S FRIGHT, All the indications of the past few days point unmis- takably to the fact that John Kelly has got thoronghly frightened in the face of this grand and noble uprising ofthe people. The continued defections from the Tam- many General Committee; the almost united opposi- tion of the German element as expressed among other things, by the signal failare of the German outdoor demonstration at the big rally at Tammany Hall; the cordial co-operation of city journals usually arrayed in a Dditter political antagonism in a most per- sistent effort to defeat Tammany, and the com- plete demoralization prevailing in Tammany’s camp havo not escaped Jobn Kelly’s shrewd eye. His very speeches have shown his uneasiness and his whole de- meanor has proved that he felt in a vague manner the | portents ofthe storm that is about to burst over his head and which will sweep him into the limbo ofpotitical ruin and oblivion, Straws often show which way the wind blows, and when Coroner Croker, that worthy coadju- tor of the noble Kelly, writes to the Tammany manager of the Eighteenth Assembly’ district that the General Committee have reconsidered | their resolve to place ten men in each election district | and were determined “to place twenty active men in all | the election districts east of Third avenue, and ten in all the districts west of Third avenue’ (these diligent workers to be paid the snug little salary of $10 per day), tt does not require much political sagacity to sus- ‘pect that something must be wrong with poor John | Kelly, that he does not feel so easy in his boots as ho | did some time ago. RECORDER BACKETT’S ATTITUDE. In all this din and turmoil of political warfare, the man who probably has been the coolest and apparently most indifferent has been Recorder Hackett himself, Like a devoted public servant that he is, he accepted the nominations which he had not sought, and which he had not taken a single step to procure. During the most ferocious heat of the strife he did not once forget the duty he owed to his ,present lofty position, and nothing could induce him to take part in the political | scuffle, and even to repel the base and insidious attacks made daily upon his character and past history. He knew that he bad the people with him, and that the odious vituperation heaped upon him would recoil with double force upon the heads of his desperate pursuers, It is a matter of pride that the same dignified attitude was observed by Recorder Hackett’s fellow nominee, | District Attorney Phelps. ‘ MORRISSBY AND FOX. Next to the election of Recorder Hackett and Dis- trict Attorney Phelps the most interesting point of the | cdntest is the extraordinary issue between Fox and Morrissey. For some days it has been manifest that Fox bas virtually given up the battle as lost, and bas resigned himself to the melancholy certainty of an Sgnominious and decisive defeat, Morrissey’s election, which is generally considered almost as certain as that of Recorder Hackett, will be a terrible blow to John Kelly and his Tammany henchmen, and will be tho | occasion of an immense rejoicing among the working. men, who will regard it as an emphatic rebuke of | Kelly’s policy of starving laborers into pauperism, | ‘When Morrissey chafed under his unmerited expulsion | from Tammany in Saratoga he probably did not antici- pate the splendid vindication which he was to receive at the hands of the people. The contest in the Fourth Senatorial district has been, in many respects, an un- equal one, for Fox has been backed by the whole Tam- many machinery, and Kelly has raised heaven and | earth—to speak figuratively—in order to defeat his | Ditterest enemy. Morrissey’s victory will, thereforo, be all the more creditable to the people’s discernment, BARTLETT AND HAYES. As regards the struggle for seats in ttre Legislature in | other districts it is impossible to predict with any de- gree of accuracy the results. Among well informed men the impression prevails that most of the demo- cratic nominees for the Legislature who@re known to favor the vigorous pursuit of canal reform, and who | are not tainted with Kelly’s blighting friendship, will be returned. In some districts the contest will be very close and exciting. Io the Seventh Assembly district there rages a most curious warfare between Bartlett and | Hayes, which, from the peculiar characteristics of the contestants, has excited a widespread interest through- out the city. On the one side is Bartlett, the demo- cratic candidate, a young man scarcely out of his teens, who only left a law schoo! a couple of. years agp, who hhas had no experience whatever in public or private life and has never done anything which would give him a claim to distinction or even to moderate repute, On the other hand we have aman such as our legislatures | contain but too rarely, a man advanced in years, a pro- found student, an able thinker, versed in the affairs of life, whose entire life has been a noble sacrifice to | science. Under these circumstances it cannot be doubt- ed that Isaac I. Hayes’ election will be regarded asa triumph of ability and scholarship over boyish inexpe rience, THR STATE TICKET. While the general sentiment points to the signal de. feat of Kelly in the city the indications are that Tilden’s ticket will be elected in the State. The vote will probably be a heavy one, and it will not be surprising if the Gov- ernor’s canal policy receives a substantial indorsement Dy the peop‘e at the polls. In this city there will, no doubt, be a vast deal of “scratching,” owing to the in- congruous mixing up of Kelly's candidates with those of the great democratic party of the State, There is comparatively little interest taken in tho State election, the public mind being mainiy engrossed by the fight for Hackett and Phelps, and by the geueral anxiety to secure Kelly's political annihilation, To-day will be @ legal holiday. No voter will have ‘ny reasonable cause for “failing to do his duty in the great work of political independence and liberty which is to be accomplished between tho hours of six and four. The general conviction that every vote for Hackett will be an additional stone hanging round Xelly’s neck and drowning him to-day will be the ateatest inducement to covery voter to do his duty, THE CITY.

ELECTION EVE AT TAMMANY. The room to the right of the entrance to Tammany Hall was thrown open early yesterday, and the work of arranging and despatching to the various Assembly dis- tricts the necessary ballots, along with the notices from candidates to inspectors of election, begun and was carried on vigorously. To this room there were more than 200 visitors through the day, embracing most of tho prominent members of tho Tammany Hall General Committee, including Jobn Kelly, who tarried for awhile and then departed in a carriage. A nuinber of large, coarse canvas sacks, filled with balloting tickets, rudely inscribed with the num- ber of each Assembly district, stood ranged upon the floor. These were ealled for at intervals through the day and taken hway to their respective destinations, In the morning, about ten o'clock, Fourteenth street, from Third to Fourth avenue, was lined with cabs, and a brisk movement of democratic politicians went on, Some drove up in hot haste to the great wig- ‘wam, and others, equally hurried, departed in this and that direction, It was a harvest day for the cab drivers, Excited politicians aro not apt to inquire too closely about the strictly legal cab fares on the eve of an elec- tion, and knowing this, there was an uncommon flock- ing together of the idle city Jebus. On the steps of the building knots of men, two and three in number, Hogerae the livelong day. In theroom where the ballots and other papers were being arranged groups of poli- ticians occupied the corners and discussed the pros- pect for to-day, A large table stood in the mrddle of the room, littered with various printed notices and blank forms. Prominent among them was the following:— To THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL AND DistRIcT Com- MITTEES AND TO THE Box KERPERS OF THE ORGANI- ZATION: ‘We are informed that the republicans and their traitorous allies have despaired of the election of their judiciary ticket in full; bt they have determined to ‘make a desperate effort at the polls by means of past- ers, handbills, portraits, circulars, special boxes and agents, and other irregular warfare, and by the un- lawful and unscrupulous use of money, to elect Hackett, Phelps and Gildersleeve, and to defeat your candidates, Smyth, Olney and Spencer. ‘ By such means they nope to obtam the control of the crimi courts and police jurisprudence of your city for the ensuing fourteen years. We urge you to meet and overcome these desperate efforts by all honest and honorable means. Exert your ‘utmost vigilance and energy from the opening until the close of the and the count and return of the vote from cach m district. Such firm, determined and energetic action on your part is all that is necessary to secure a glorious demo- cratic victory. JOHN KELLY, Chairman of the Committee on Organization of Tam- many Hall. Novemser 1, 1875. A LOYAL AND INDIGNANT JANITOR, The janitor of the hall isa very loyal Tammanyite. He was inaignant when asked if any more resignations from the General Committee had taken place. *’Thim’s all lies 1”? he exclaimed. ‘There have been no resigna- tions at all, at all. Thim papors never know whin to tell the truth, and then they tells it by mistake. What would aman resign for from Tammany Hall? How could he expect to get a better livin’ anywhere else? ‘Whin you hear ofa man resignin’ from Tammany Hall you may be sure he is onaisy aither in his mate or his mind.” The old janitor worked himself up into a high temper against the authors of “thim lies” about the resignations, and his answers afterward to very civilly worded questions were curt and rude inthe extreme. Of other curiosities in the room besides the irate old janitor were a plaster bust of John Kelly, presenting to ‘the view a head and face suggestive of a Roman. gladi- ator in fighting trim, and a miniature flag, a sowvenir of the Democratic Convention of 1868, enclosed in a glass 8, ‘The pamphlet containing John Kelly’s charges against Recorder Hackett was called tor by several of the visiting ward politicians; but the oid janitor de- clared on his honor that tho edition was entirely ex- hausted. Accompanying the blank forms for the ro.* turns of the election sent to the inspectors was a printed note, instructing them how to use the forms, the separate ones for each election district to be tilled in, certifying the result as soon as each ticket has been counted and result declared and certified by inspectors of election or other competent witness to verify the | same. As jy a8 each ticket is completed the cer- tifled return irom each clection district is to be con- veyed to a central headquarters for the Assembly dis- trict, where the same is to be condensed in form by stating the number of votes in each election district for each candidate, and immediately on the completion of | the whole result for the Assembly district on any candi- | date the statemont of the vote is to be sent by special messenger to Tammany Hall. The certilied’ returns from each election district is to be kept for future ref- erence. It is the privilege of every nominated candidate to designate a person to be present during the canvassing of the ballots in each election district... THREE WAGON LOADS OF BALLOTS. The entire quantity of papers sent out yesterday from Tammany Hall to the various Assembly districts made three express wagon loads, ANTI-TAMMANY READY. Tho evening before election at the republican and | anti-Tammany democratic ‘headquarters was not as brisk as might have been expected. For various rea. sons the bustle of the previous nights of the cam- paign’s close had subsided. The members of the Cen- tral Committee were absent, most of them having gone to their respective districts to superintend the final ar- rangements (herein for a successful termination of the contest, and to see that the “captains” having charge of the party’s immediate interest in each locality were at their posts instructing their subordinates in the du- ties required of them to-day. Tho real work of the several central bodies had been completed, so far as it could have been, and the plans for election day having been developed in committee, nothing remained but to | sed that they wero thoroughly understood by tho leaders in every district, in whose hands they had been placed previous to yesterday noon. Therefore, the special interest hither- to manifested at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, the Everett Rooms and the Knickerbocker Cottage, whither the Eleventh Assembly district headquarters, formerly located at Republican Hall, have been moved, had | abated. At the Republican State Committee rooms the utmost quietude prevailed. Only the Hon, Mr, Decker, Dwight, Lawrence and a few lesser lights in that sphere were present discussing the prob- abilities of the contest and answering questions on matters of routine to applicants from election dis- tricte, Mr. Cornell was in the committee room fora short time during the day, but the other members were conspicuously absent. By those gentlemen present the chances of Recorder Hackett and his antagonist were freely commented on, and it was the unanimous opinion that those of the former were far better than those of the latter. “Mr. Lawrence said that he felt confident, from close observation, that Recorder Hackett would get the republican vote as solidly as Mr. Phelps, and that if the Recorder received ag tnany democratic ballots as would be cast for him by the republicans, his election ‘was certain, This view was concurred in by the other gentlemen present, Atail events bis prospects from @ republican standpoint last evening were deemed bright and nothing remained but for every honest citi- zen todo his Mah and look at his ticket this morning to ascertain whether it had been tampered with or not. This advice in regard to Mr. Hackett’s billet was thought to be necessary inasmuch as no expedient would be thought too mean to be used in securing his defeat. Thaaniv mintmnn at tho committes rooms yestarday 4 other headquarters was apparent. Mr, EF. B, Hart and | Hon. T. Creamer, with one or two other gentlemen, were present most of the afternoon and evening. | Here have been the anti-‘fammany democratic head- quarters during the campaign, and, as most of the pro. liminaries thereof had been arranged by Saturday atter- | noon, little remained to be done yesierday except to give ‘necessary information on important points and bundles of the anti-fammany democratic tickets to those who came for them, ‘Therefore the proceedings at the Everett Rooms last evening were very un- interesting. One or two trivial incidents alone relieved the monotony. At four o'clock a short, thickset gentle- man of choleric appearance entered’ and asked for “Colonel Hart, the chairman.” “I am he,’ responded courteously Mr. Hart. “I want my tickets,” said the visitor, “Who are you, sir,” quoth the Colonel. “Shamus C. O’Brien,” replied the new comer. “What tickets do you want, said Mr. Hart. “Tho Alderman- at-large.” “Which? “Mine.” “Yours?” “Yes.” “And who are you, sir?” “I’m the candidate from the Fifth district,”’ “Where are your credentials?” “Here,” said Mr. O’Brien, pulling out a piece of paper: “This is a check on the Kings County ank for $100 from my constituents, and I don’t think any man could ask for @ better credential, Now, I want my tickets.” After some explanation the applicant was induced to forego his chance of election this time and wait until next year, when he may have a betver pros- pect of running for ottice, VOTES CANNOT BE STOLEN. Citizens who have duly registered cannot lose their votes by their names having been used previous to their arrival at the polls by spurious and fraudulent voters, In such case the honest voter should insist upon depositing his vote, and the inspectors are obliged by law to receive it, though if he is unknown to them they may require him to be identified, This will produce an excess of ballots in the boxes, and the Jaw provides that after a count and betore any ballots are opened a number equal to the excess shall be blindly drawn from the box and estroyed without being opened, Every voter should insist on depositing his vote, though some scoundrel may have used his name for a criminal purpose. MORRISSEY INDORSED AT MEETING. A largo crowd assembled at tho corner of James and Chatham streets last evening to attend the masy meeting held under the auspices of the Liberal Repub- lican and independent parties of the Second Assembly disteich Mr. Mark Lanigan presided, and speeches were made by Messrs. T. S. Grady, James Reilly, John Mitchell, T. J. O'Connell and several others. Whenever the name of Jobn Fox was ‘mentioned it was greeted with hisses, and, indeed, completely drowned in cheor after cheer for John Morrissey, It was in vain that the presiding officer made appeals to the assembled hundreds to preserve order. ‘‘John Morrissey is our friend. He'll pay us two dollars a day,” was the popular sentiment. At last the band was ordered to play “Home, Sweet Home,” and the meeting was adjourned, with rousing cheers for Morrissey, Resolutions were read indorsing the regu- lar Tammany ticket. A CARD FROM MR. SHAFER. New York, Nov. 1, 1875, To rue Epitor ov Tue HERALD:— I am informed by Major Quincy that he never was keeper of Libby Prison, and that I have, in some re- marks I made upon that subject, done him great injus- tice. Icheerfally request you to give this the same prominence as you did my remarks. Yours, &c., IRA A. SHAFER, A NEW PARTY. THE INAUGURATION LAST NIGHT—DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES. A meeting was held last night at Glass Hall, Thirty- fourth street, near Third avenue, for the purpose of formally inaugurating what is to be called the “inde pendent” party in this city. The arrangements were under the direction of Messrs. F. H. Amidon, Dr. E. Hazzard, W. A. A. Carsey and Pliny Freeman, of New York, who are associated on the General State Committeo with Messrs. J. 8 Buell, of Baf- A FOX falo; J. B. Proctor, of Dansville; Corbord Ward, Brooklyn; J. ¥, Keefe, of Glenn’s Falls, and about twenty others, The meeting was very thinly attended, the audience for the most part consisting of workingmen who had apparently mistaken the character of the meeting. The only nota- ble person present was the venerable Peter Cooper, who sat throughout the meeting in a side seat among the {audience, as though endeavoring to avoid notice. ‘The Chairman, Mr. F. H. Amidon, called the meeting to order and made the following short address :— Fe.iow Crrens—You are calied together to aid in the inauguration of a popular movement that is the | product of our free institutions. | Youare asked to band yourselves forthe purpose of agitation until the expression of your opinions shall lead to such legislation as meets with your approval. This is the legitimate democratic and republican | manner of securing those rights and privileges that | were formerly only gained by armed revolution. We who have called you together believe that in a national currency issued direct by the governinent to the peoplo we shall find that stablility which we de- sire, and for which we have sought in vain under the | delusion ofa specie basis, To that end we have formed @State Central Committee, and have secured in this building permanent quarters, to which we invite all who are willing to co-operate with us, and also those of opposite views for friendly discussion. that we may be corrected if in error, and it we are in the right that wo may convince those opposed to us. It is much to be regretted that the eminent ex- ponent of our American system of finance, General Carey, of Ohio, who had promised to address you to-night, lost his voice in the canvass in Pennsylvania; but there need be no lack of entertain- ment because of it, for we have speakers well versed in the subject, who are ready to give their views of the topic. We ask but a fair examination of the question, | then let your own judgment be your guide in action! We propose to continue this work of organizution and education till we have a greenback club in every pre- | cinct, and a majority of the voters of the State enrolled | in our books. ‘Then wo shall feel that legislators must act under the direction of their constituency; then we |* can have laws that will command the respect of the people. ‘The seeretary, Dr. Hazzard, then came forward ande| read several letters from General Carey, of Ohio, the last of which was a short apology for his absence from the meeting. Dr. Hazzard continued and read what he | termed a declaration of principles, upon which the or- ganization proposed to base its future action, DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES. First—Government shall issue and control the cur- rency, Which shall be receivable for ail debts and du- ties. Second—Equal rights for all persons before the law. Third—We demand retrenchment and rigid economy in all branches of public service, Fourth—The abolishment of all official perquisites, Fifth—The election of all officials by the people, ‘Sixth—The reference of all laws to the people for ap- proval or rejection. ‘Seventh—To advance material science, develop the resources of the country and protect the useful classes against the avarice of capitalists or the derangements of trade. The various branches of useful industry should be established by government on equitable prin- ciples of time compensation, and thereby furnish em- ployment to those who might otherwise be idle and suffer the pangs of poverty or be tempted to crime. Mr. William A. A. Casey was introduced as tho orator of the evening. He commenced by saymg he was a workingman, and certainly his appearance and manner of speech fully bore out the assertion. His aa. | dress was along and rambling review of the origin of | trade and commerce, and the first establishment of | money. He started from the year 100, and, ashe no | doubt Shought, luctdly explained tho kinds of currency | employed by different peoples up to the present time. | the speaker was loudly applauded, for all present | were inflationtsts, and it would be not going too fur to say that if they had made a most diligent search of | their clothing it would have been difficult to have found anything but currency of the smallest possible denom- mation. Mr. Pliny Freeman, John Wolff, and Alvard Troop | also delivered short speeches. | THE BOARD OF POLICE. MEETING OF LAST NIGHT TO COMPLETE THE | PREPARATIONS FOR ELECTION. ‘The full Board of Police Commissioners met at nino o'clock last night to fill vacancies in tho list of inspec tors of election, The resignations of Inspectors William Casey and William Harrington were accepted, and ‘William B. Corlan and John Ferdon were appointed in thoir places respectively. Ex-Commisstoner of Charities and Correction Laim- beer was present urging the acceptance of the resigna. tion of R, M. Lush, of the Fourteenth Election district ot the Sixteenth Assembly district, but the same was not accepted. Some amusemont was occasioned by the receipt of a report from Captain Potty, of the First precinct, an- nouncing that the Sheriff bad levied on and locked up the promises No, 28 Jobn street, where the polling place of the Ninth election district of tho First As- sembly district issituated, The was occupied as ‘a cigar store, and the Sheriff's officers, to satisfy an execution againgt the vrovrietor, entered and dispos- ; through the crowd in order to make a 3 seesed the clection inspectors and pollclerks. The company at the same time turned off the gas. report added that the place would nevertheless be used tor election purposes to-day. A commun ioation from F. M. Bixby, of the Righth ‘Senatorial district, asking permission to place watchers at the polls in that district, was laid on the table, can- didates having already such permission, Commissioner Voorhis offered a resolation, which was adopted, that the Superintendent be directed to mak report to the Board, as soon as practicable, of the names of all persons found to have registered ly. In voting forthe resolution, Commissioner Disbecker stated that reports thus far showed over three hundred ersons as having registered ally, and the police ad as yet but a portionof the total number. In the Ninth Assembly district alone, he had it trom the highest authority, that 120 shad illegally regis- tered. This brought Commissioner Voorhis to his feet. He wished to state publicly that such assertion was false. He had long resided in that district and knew ths people too well to believe for a moment that such was the case. Mr, Disbecker, in reply, reiterated that his authority was of the highest character, being Mr. John L. Davenport, who could and would corroborate, the assertion by indisputable evidence when the proper time arrived. ‘After some further remarks the Board adjourned, to meet at an early hour this morning. POOL SELLING ON THE ELECTION. It is along time since there has been so much ex- citement round the neighborhood of Twenty-elghth street, ag during the day and up to a late hour last evening hundreds of people have been crushing In and’ out of the pool rooms, For the time being horses are forgotten and the money is now being put up on the Duman race, and judging from the way it rattles into the pool-box the latter kind of speculation has the call With the multitude. The betting has not kept even throughout the day, as the different can idates have gono up and down in the market as their friends came and left the pool room. The favorite race appeared to be the contest between Mor- rissey and Fox for State Senator, On Saturday even- ing Morrissey closed a favorite at about 100 to 65, and early yesterday morning he still had the call, but gradually Fox’s friends mustered in force, and large sums were invested last night at 100 to 75 on Fox. If youask speculators the cause of the change they hardly appear to be able to explain it, but hint that the Church is giving Pox a helping hand. The State ticket looks pretty sure, as 100 to 80 was bet freely on Bigelow getting | 15,000 majority, and 200 to 170 ~was also wagered on lackett obtaining over 5,000 majority. The betting between Hackett and Smythe let up considerably toward evening as the friends of the latter did not risk their money unless against @ majority. Gildersleeve had hundreds. of supporters, and in the opinion of many he will run far ahead of his ticket jome few bets of 100 to 80 were made that Hackett would run ahead of Phelps, and-late in the evening a bet of 500 to 400 was made the same way, ‘The speculation in the race for Senator between Nichols and Booth was pretty lively, the former being tho favorite at about 200 to 170, although at Kelly’s they sold even up. Phelps was a favorite over Olney at about 100 to 75. The three pool rooms, Johnson’s, kelly’s and Thomas’, were crowded all throughout the evening, andin the former it was nearly impossible to crus! id. Money was flying into the box at about the rato of $15,000 per hour, aid onarough estimate the three pool’ rooms must have taken in over $100,000 during yesterday afternoon and evening. Business will commence again early this morning and continue up to the closing of the polls. Tho following pools were sold last evening :— Johnson's. Kelly's. Thomas’. 200° 200-200 = 100 100 165 155-180 80 75 200 = 200 300 50100 90 95 145 56 200 = 200-100 10080. 165 18095 75 40 100 200-100 50 50 7% 140 70 3588 100 = 100-200 50 100 Under...... 5 80 75 160 385 Hackett, 5,000..200 200 300 100 100 50 Under.. “170 165 «21085 00 4!

Pools on the result of to-morrow’s election were sold to-night in this city as follows:—On Hartranft’s ma Jority in the State, $50 to $45 on 15,000 majority, $100 to $60 on 15,000 majority, and $25 to $15 that he will lead his ticket in the city; $10 even that Piolett will have a majority outside the city of Philadelphia The detting was spirited and long continued. POLITICAL NOTES. The Society of Tammany or Columbian Order was té have held its regular monthly meeting at Tammany Hall last evening, but as only four members appeared, no meeting was held. The Italian republicans of the Fifth Senatorial dis- trict held @ mass meeting last evening at No. 123 Hous- ton street. All the speakers denounced the one man power in Tammany Hall and called upon their hearers to vote down the Tammany ticket to-day. Mr. Laurence E. O’Bryan has withdrawn from candi- dacy for the Assembly in the Sixteenth district, and now supports the regular anti-Tammany and republican pominee, Messrs. Delaney and ONeill, the principals of the Seventh ward schools, whom the Tammany General Committee attempted to levy upon for campaign ex- penses, write tothe HemaLp another letter to refute the statements published yesterday by the members of the District Committee. They say:—‘Within the let- ter of Messrs. Colligan & Co, is contained its own refutation. They state that we are ‘outside of Tam- many Hall and opposed to the regular candidates,’ Knowing this, is it reasonable to suppose that the committee sent to us for a ‘voluntary contribution,’ or will not any sane man, from their own letter, reach the conclusion that it was a tax, and was really in- tended as such ?”” Mr. Charles E. Heuberer is not a candidate for Assem- blyman in the Twentieth district, He was given, but declined, the regular republican nomination, and hé now supports the regular nominee, Mr, L Albert Engle- bardt. Mr. Stephen D. Van Schaick, the people’s nominee for the Surrogatesbip, has been enthusiastically in- dorsed by a large number of the most prominent law- yers ofthe city, Mr. William M. Evarts is the first subscriber to the letter of indorsement, Mr. John H. Seaman wrftes to say that he is not a candidate for Alderman in the Fiftn Assembly district nor any other district. Charles E. Heuberer, who was nominated by the re- publican organization of the Twenty-fi{th district, has declined, and Mr. J, Albert Engelhardt bas received tho nomination, ITALIAN CONFIDENCE MEN. About a week ago two Italians, whose names are um known, called at the boot store of James Recaglio, also an Italian, at No, 154 Wooster street, and jeft an order for a pair of boots. Yesterday afternoon they called fortthe same, and by a series of well-told falso- hoods succeeded in ingratiating themselves into the confidence of Recaglio. They represented themselves as having recently come from Wash- ington, where they had rich relatives, In the course of conversation one of them exhibited several jeces of gold com and stated that he had with him i 000 in the same, which he wanted changed into sreeabacks, ‘as the coin was too heavy to carry about ‘im in his travels. The unsuspecting Recaglio offered to accommodate his countryman, and the trio pro- ceeded to the Citizens’ Bank, corner of Canal street and the Bowery, where Recaglio drew $2,000. When they reached tho street they handed him 'in exchange for the money a small, heavy bag, which they said con- tained the gold. One of the Italians then requested Recaglio to step into a neighboring cigar store and pur- chase some cigars. When he returned his companions had disappeared. The bag, on being opened, was found to contain two small pieces of lead and a quantity of shot. Recaglio was rendered almost frantic by his logs, as the sum was the accumulations of many years ‘and comprised all his savings. ACOIDENT TO POLICE OFFICERS, Yesterday afternoon, while returning from distrib- uting the ballot boxes to the several polling places, Sergeant George Bunce and Patroiman William Gates, of the Fifth precinct, were thrown to the pavoment by an accident to their wagon, at the corner of Fourth street and Broadway, Williamsburg. Sergeant Bunce sustained @ severe cut under the left eyo, besides numerous contusions, Patrolman Gates received a severe cut on the forehead and other injuries, which are reported serious, A RECLUSE’S DEATH. An aged man, named Kaiser, was found dead last evening in his apartment No, 70 Varet street, Brook- lyn, where he had resided alone for several months, Ho had been missing since last Friday, and the neighbors, becoming alarm: summoned the Stagg street police, who broke into the room.
