‘ so! “THR POLITICAL ‘FIELD. Tammany and Anti-Tammany County Conventions Reassemble. A UNION DEFEATED. Stormy Session of the County Democ- racy at Irving Hall. MORRISSEY VS. O’BRIE The Present Political Situation and Pros- pects Explained. THE PROBABLE SLATE. The Ballots, Candidates and Probable Combinations. ‘The statesmen who propose to settic the question of ‘whe city government and patronage forthe next two years assembled in county convention at Tammany Ball and Irving Hall yesterday afternoon, The usual excited crowd of expectants, office-holders and their lollowers gatherea in large force and crowded the sidewalks and vestibule to an extent that impeded travel in the vicinity. Of course everybody supposed from an early hour that tho anion between Tammany and anti-Tammany was impossible, in view of the re- sult attenaing the conference proceedings on Thurs- flay and Friday. But it was, however, whispered around that another attempt would be made toward accomplishing the much-to-be-desired object. A but- Me for the loaves and fishes so generously distributed from the public crib could not be thus imperiled. Such was the feeling among those who sought office by the safer road of one ticket and one party. ‘THE PROPOSITIONS from both sides,on the assembling of the two con- ventions at three o'clock, stood exactly in the same positioa .«s when Tammany sen} forth her Orst ulti- Matum on Taursday night, which was as follows:— Anti-Tammany to have the nominations for County Clerk, Judge of the Superior Court, Judge of the Marine Court, two Congressmen, seven Assemblymen, the Fifth district Senatorship, one Alderman-at-Large and three district Aldermen, Tammany, on the other hand, was to retain the nominations for Mayor, Sheriff, Burrogate, three Coroners, fourteen Assemblymen, threo Aldermen-at-Large, eight district Aldermen and five Congressmen. By this proposal it can be easily discovered that James O’Brien was to be lett out in the cold, and that Benator Morrissey’s interests were to be taken tare of. Is was rumored that, in the event of = this deal being made, William Walsh or Joseph Shannon would be nominated forthe County Clerkship, Both gentlemen are known as the avowed friends of the Morrissey phalanx on the anti-fammany side of the house, Tammany’s proposition was vigor- ‘ously denounced by those who considered the terms of Surrender unfair. The oflices of the Mayor, Sheriff and Surrogate, with a majority of the Board of Alder- men, means a capture of the whole municipal govern- ment, as faras Tammany Hall is concerned. This is + where the shoe pinches hardest among the anti-Tam- many leaders. ORGANIZING THR CONVENTIONS. Shortly after three o’clock both of the conventions ‘were called to order, It was given omt that neither would make ‘nominations, and thus » loophole could be left for further attompt at union, Tammany went throcgh the tual routine business until the confer- ence report was read by Mr. Olncy. Then an adjourn- ment was had until Thursday, no nominations being made, and the fleid lett open for further approaches, ‘THE TUMULT IN IRVING HALL A dramatic scene was enacted in Irving Hall at the anti-Tammany Convention, as will be seen by the report ot the proceedings. The fight commenced upon the handing ‘up of the majority report of the conference com- mittee, which declared emphatically againsta union with Tammany Hall upen the proposition submitted. Senator Morrissey jumped to his tcet and presented a minority report accepting the terms offered by tho Wigwam. Then ensued the real battle of the Conv: tion. The plan was adroitly concocted. Morrissey ‘wanted to put himself on tho platform of being anxious to cement aunion for the good of the party. Ho claimed that tne dispensing of patronage has nothing whatever todo with his motives, This, however, is the claim of all our disinterested statemen who desire ‘o serve the public, The scenes enacted in Irving Hall yeaterday afternoon meant an anxiety for spoils, and nothing more. TUX EXCITING INCIDENTS. The introduction of Morrissoy’s minerity report was the first signal for disturbance. The gentieman proceeded to speak, when he was interrogated by O’Brien. The latter emerged from the coutre of the ball until be came within a few feet of Morris: He called attention to the fact that Morrissey had boen elected to the Senato@ship upon the one dollar and sixty cents aday sentiment; that tho laborers who ‘then supported him would not do it now, Morrissey Fetorted by saying that ho had been elected by over 14,000 votes, “Well,”” replied O'Brien, “I was chosen Senator of my district by 15,000 majority. 1 was the first man to Qdvocate Mr. Tilden for Assembly in the Eighteenth istrict, and worked for him night and day against the | Ting, when ho would not trust any other mao. I will do the same tor him now at all hazards now that ho is ® candidate for President."” The winay warfare thus went on for several minutes, Mr. Ira Shaler next made an eloquent speech, in which he narrated the pots of the conferenco, and concluded by accusing Morrissey of bad taith in nov Opposing the majority report before the committeo and @oing it before the Convention. The docidod deieat of Morrissey in the taal vote upon accepting or rejecting Fam-vsny's torms—fve districts being in favor and | Seventecn agaiast—toid the story at once as to which | bide holds tho Convention. eee | TEE TAMMANY CONVENTION, The crowd that assembled at the Wigwam in Four- teenth street yesterday was uousually large. Some fimo before the hour of mecting of the Convention it was whispered around that the nominations were not to be made, and that after a formal reading of the con- ference committee’s report there would be an adjourn- ment. This lessened the interost felt in the proceed ngs of the Tammany Convention, but the crowd stili Femained at their posts to await nows of the hot time they all seemed to anticipate at the other Convention. At three o’clock the large ball was filled with dele- | gates, but owing to the conference committee being’ in session down stairs there was a halt honr’s delay before the Convention's session began. Then Heary L. Clinton, chairmauof the Convention, mounted the platform and called the meeting to order. Seats were immediately taken,. knots of politicians engaged in imysterious conversation dispersed and found places | among their respective organizations, and the murmur | of small talk died out. The minates of the Convon- Hon’s first session were read by the Secretary and, on motion, adopted. A report of the conference com- mittee was then calied for, and Alderman lurroy rose and suid:— | “The conference coinmitteo have been in session | during the afteruvon and are now preparing their re- Ina minutes they will be ready Convention, At the samo’ momeut she committee appeared at the | door aud Wied to tueir seate, ealutet on the way by a | Fipple of spplnuse, Which deepened as Jubn Kelly's | ruy form loowed Up. Wheu quiet had beea restored r. Peter B.

Olney said :— Mr, Cuamuax—In moving the adoption of the report of your conterence committee, let mo say that we have labored tuthtully and with a desire to submit Such &# ticket 1or vomipation as every one in this county would conscientiously suppor. We have proceeded with our work untirmgly. and in accordance with our desire to atiend to all nominations and seo that they be judicious and of benefit to the peopie, we hope you will adjourn this Convention to ufford ampler time for consideration. There are other organizations in this county which manifest. a desire to consult with us and to offer an alliance which will be conducive to the advancement of democratic inieroste, and to these wo should give a hearing. Remember, yeatiemen, in union there is strength, It is the general will to so shape the nominations in this coupty as to make them contribute to the success of the national and State democratic ticket. hooves us, then, to make pe mis- takes in the county nominations, and if we are quiced by w sincere dei to serve the interests of the dem- ocratic party, which is to say, the interests of the whole people, we will present a ticket which will be surely successful at the polls, After the resoluiion was adopted MA, JOHN KELLY rose and sald tbat he bad received two communica- tions from outside organizations, which he wished to submit to the confereuce comimitiee. One was from the Workingmen’s Central Political Council, the other from the German Democratic County Committee. Mr. Edwin M, Plum submitted a similar communication. Mr. Kelly th moved thatin uccordance with the conference committee’s report the Convention adjourn til Puursday at three P. M., at the sa time draw- ing the atteation of the assembly to the suggestion of the report that all conventions be udjourned till after the 19tu tmst. This brougiit 10 their feet soveral gentlemen in whose.disiricts couventions bad aiready been held, in which there seemed to ve con- siderable upanimity in the cboice of candi- dates. They wanted to know if they ‘could not proceed with their work, After some spe2k- ing Mr. Kelly found a solution of this question. Ho eaid that the report of the coinmittee now adopted specitied the 19th wet. as the day to which local con- ventions should be adjourned; but the cail issued re- questing a meeting in the difierent districts had re- quired the appointment of a committee of two and an aujourmment without further deliberatio! Mr. Kelly d he hoped the members of these conventions who his call. They can meet b, af ry, and see it they aro agreed upon the nominations aud if no concessions are to be made anywhere. Itall agree they can moet, as the cail diretts, on the 18th aud make nominations without regard lo the suggestions of the conterence commities. ‘The motion of adjournment was then put and car- ried. PROCEEDINGS AT IRVING HALL, ‘The anti-Tammany County Convention assembled at Irving Hall yesterday afternoon three o’clock to re- ceive the report of the Conference Committee appointed to conter with a like committee trom Tammany Hall to fix n basis of harmony and union inthe ranks of the county democracy. All present were aware of the results’ of the joint conference, and opinions on the acceptance or refusal of the proposition made by Tam- many weredivided, Hon. Ira Shafer cailed the m: ing toorder, but nosuch thing existed during any part of the session. From beginning to end the jogs were interrupted with hooting and yell- ing and scenos that could scarcely be outdone by a riotous mob of the lowest ruillans. After reading the roll and dispensing with the minutes of the last mect- ing the following report was submitted :— To tas County ComvEnTioN of THE New County Democracy :— ‘Tne Conlereuce Committee, appoiated to confer with Tammaoy Hall with o view of effecting democratic unwwa, respectful report that, impressed win Amportunce vs Uo duty imposed, the committes have ‘endeavored to discharge 1t with intelligence an fiueliy. In conferring with a similar committee from Taumany Hail, they conflved thoir deliberations to questious simply involving a just and honoravie. basis 01 compromise aod were no: embarassed by any co! siderauon of individ ‘Tue concessions made at the Surgtoga Convention in, according to this Organization u representation of two-fifths of the delegation from (pis county. and .a larger proportion of the members of the State Central Committee ailurded the basis of such auion, aud, indeed, Mr. John Kelly uad previously communi- cated to» sub-commitiee of the New York democracy that the proposition met bis jadividual approval, and would,an bis judgment, be acceptable to the Tammany County Convention when assembled. In and conditions, however, presented and 1ni by Tatomany Hull im this comterence tuis principal practically repudiated and these pledges utterly alsre- garded. They ciaimed the exclusive right to nominate every officer entrusted under our laws with official or municipal power:—The Mayor, controlling all the vari- ous departments of the city government; the Surro- gate, churged with duties affecting the rights and in- terests of the community, aud the Sherif, exercising vust power over the persons and property of the peo- ple, were positions demanded by Tawmauy Hall to Teward its bartisuus, perpotuute its arbitrary authority and increase its patronage. To accept such conditions would bo a betrayal of tho people who secured, with the co-operation Of the iudependent press, our victory lust fal. That triumph, we must remember, urow from the fact that we uuited on judictal ana otuer can- didates eminent for their purity and capacity, and Known as the sincere uad futeiligent supporters ot sound apd economical inun:cipal government. It the same policy is adhered w im ‘be construction of a county ticket we nave abiding confidence in success. The actual design of a political party i to be estimated by its candidates rather tuan its declarations, and ca- puble, iudependont and bouest nominations will ve again sustained by tne electors of this city. Conscious Youx of our pairiotic sire wo. secure the tri- umphuut election of the Sime and na- tional candidates by conciliation, Lammany Hail was competl€d by the voice of public opinion to hoid a conlereuce, but secretly resolved only to submit terms which sell-respect wouid compel us to reject. The re- sponsibility for the lullure of these negotiations for democrauic union cannot ve chatged to this orgunizar tion, but exclusively velongs to Tammany Hall, which opposed with bitterness tue nomination of Suinuel J. ‘Tilden ut St. Louis aud Lucius Robinson at saratoga. Your committee is convinced that the national and State ticket will be sustained by tue county democracy with earnest devotion and deity, and that no political combinatiots, which may be necessary to secure efll- aud economical municipal government, to imeriere with the triumphant elec Mon of Samuel J, Tilden ana Lucius Robinson, IRA SHAFER, Ubairman, GEORGE H. PURSER. J, D. COUGHLIN, Mr. Morrissey roso when tho roading was finished | and asked permission from the (hair to band i a int- nority report. The announcement was no sooner made than the waters began to ruille and indicuto the coming storm, Mr. Shafer said that although the ction of Mr, Morrissey was not strictly in order he would, as 4 matter of courtesy, accept the report, which was then handed up to the secretary and read. THK MINOITY REPORT. | To tus Cousty Cosvaxtiox ov tum New Yor County Desockacy :— GaxTLemeN—1he undersigned, members of the Con- fereuce Comuittee appouted by your body to conier with other democratic organizations im relauiou to nominations to be made for county officers, respect- fully subinit the following report:— Lat we accept the proposition made by mmany Hail Conference Commitee. Aithongh your commiliee believe that Tamu: Hall has not Acted stricily 12 accordance with the spirit of recou- Cilation manifested wt the Saratoga Couvextion; stil, in order to secure a united democracy iu the city and county of New York and tu promote ihe best interests of the democratic iutional and State tickets, we deem 1 our duty to make any sacrificein our power to unite and solidily the democratic ranks in this county. During the reading of both reports there w quent interruptions and cries of “No, no!” « es!’ accompanied by the most diabolical yells aud howls from the tactious within a faction, ; MR. ORR . Mr. Morrissey was given she fre- Mx. Coatkman axo Guntiemes—I tel it my duty to Xpiuin the action of myself aud others of the couier- eace cotmmitwe in submittiog the report accepting the terins olfered by Tammany Hull. (A mixture of bowls and cheers and the greatest confusion.)

The chairman ru and rapped without avail, and was ally compelled to callon the police restore or- a Mr. O'Brien, evidentiy taking to bi if e- marks of Mr. Morrissey a combination with republicans, became greatly exci! © Said he stood there asa democrat who also had the good of the prrty at heart. He was acandidate for no office and would accept no domination. He be- heved 1m ignoring Tammany Hali trom stem tostero. Ho bad fought against it for seven long years and never asked for qua’ lt was rotten from top to botiom. After the victory of last year bo lavored an honorable union, and if one could ‘be made he would follow 11, He was in the interest of the democratic national tickets and would work for them. He had no atfiliation with any outside party, and would move the adoption of the Orst or majority report. Timethy Shea succeeded in getting the floor, and made a bold onslaught on Mr. Morrissey, urging that be was endeavoring to capture the judgment of the Convention by appealing to the passions of is mem. bers. Mr. Shes continued in a violent attack on Mr. Morrissey, charging him with favoring candidates and trying v0 sell out the organization, so that he might return to the folds of Tammany. He became so abusive that the chairman ordered him todesist. Mr. Morrissey took the floor, and in answer to the attack of Mr, Shea pledged his word he bad not promised or given his word in any way to support any candidate for office. Hethought it presumptuous of Mr. Shea, whose district patie some 300 votes, to assai! him on the part of that Convention, and spoke of tae number of votes he received by way of compari- son. Mr. O’Brien Here jumped up again, and his action gave rise to another tumult that disturbed quiet for some time. As soon as he could be neard Mr. Morris- sey continued:—What is the noisy crowd | hear? It louks more like a mob than a convention red to discuss a political matter. An demonstration followed which fully justified the remark, and betore order could be restored the police were several times called upon to interfere and Temove some of the noisy crowd from the bail. JAMES O'BRIEN’S REMARKS, Mr. O'Brien again took the foor and began eatcchis- ing Mr. Morrissoy on the number of: votes he polied ‘ms certain = elections §=and §=©6 comparing’ + them with bis own standing among the dem- ocracy. O’Brien became fearfully excited, and as he continued to talk iouder and loud he ap- proached Morrissey step by step till he came so near his outstretched band alm hed his face, aud it was feared jor a moinent re would be a com! tween them. The Chairman called on Mr. O'Brien to address the Chair, Atthe conclusion of this stormy talk Mr. C. W. bs He said that he was sorry to see the gentlemen descend to personal vilification and recrimination, and boped that serious attenuon would be given to the business before the Convention. ‘There were higher and greater aims than the spoils of local office to be considered. What are we disputing about? Isthere any principle involved? No. Ibis nothing but & quarrel over the apportiontment of local oificeg, and it wasa terrible thing that men should 0 gucritice their principles to greed for the spoils of office. Mr, Brooks continued on the necessity for a united demveracy in the interest of the success of the national ticket in this State, and moved the ac- ceptance of the minority report. (More ye and hoots, mixed with cheers, from those favo adoption.) In offering the minority report Mr. Morrissey moved thatthe cbairmau of each Assembly district bo al- lowed to cast the vote of the District Convention. That motion was now put and carried, The chairman then announced that the question be- fore the house was on the adoption of the minorny Feport, made by Mr. Morrissey, and that the chair- mon of the districts would vote in order as called, The foliowing was the resuit:—Ye Beiore the vote was tak r. chairman of the conierence committee, spoke with great effect against the seupeian of the minority re- port. The First, Second, Third, E} ‘to, Fi and Twenty-Orst districts voiced “Aye” and tl and the Twenty-third and aty-tourth ward During the vote there were disputes about who should vote in several districts, and the Chairmau was again compelied to call on the police to restore order. When the result of the vote was announced another hideous poise was made. The question was then put on the adoption of the origmal report, which was carried, and the most uproarious political mocting held in New York adjourned. The Conference Committee was re- tained and the meeting ot the Convention held subject to the call of the Chai THE POLITICAL SITUATION, ‘The bitter wrangling of the past week, culminating in yesterday’s battlo at Irving Hall, among the gentlo- men who undertake to lead the anti-Tammany hosts, has developed a singular condition of affuir, These wondertul statesmen, both in Tammany and anti-Tam- many, consider that they are entitled, under a special Providence, to take care of the offices and ‘interest: of the people. The ‘‘divine right’’ supposed to encir- cle a crowned head !s @ mere feather weight in com- Parison with the prerogatives. assumed by these re- nowned leade: The groups which blocked the side- walks outside and the barroom inside of the Monument House during last week’s conference were mainly com- posed of the worst elements of thecemmunity, The “wo Jobas’? marched grimly through the crowd.and asconded to the second floor, where the ‘great’ confer- ence was tobe held, They trod the earth like einperors, brushing past the hungry crowd and deigning a nod of condescension to a retainer here and an office-holder there, The ward politician who had bappened to ex- pose the secret manipulations of these statesmen was encountered with a stare, or porhaps asneer. In the meanwhile the host of office-seekors gazed breathlessly upon these political giants. Their bread and butter was at stake, Fumes of smoke and bad whiskey per- meated the air, It wasa peculiar sight in a free coun- try where every citizen is supposed to be on a footing of perfect equality. The plan of union as originally developed at Saratoga seemed to be that Senator John Morrissey was to bo the anti-Tammany represonts- tive—the one man power of the: opposition—and the deal was to be made directly through him. WHAT NEXT? The question here naturally arises, What will be the next adroit movement of these political athletes? O’Brien evidently holds tho call in anti-Tammany. Mr, John Kelly and bis cohorts rest nervously on their oars watching the movements of the enemy. The ad- | journment of Tammany until Thursday next argues that the leaders think it advisable to delay their nomi- nations as long as possible in order to givo their fves a little time for organization. But three weeks trom next Tuesday the elections take place. iho republicans are wise evough to put off their conventions until the jast moment. They want to profit by the mistakes of their enemies. Tammany may, however, deiay too long, and so injure the cuances of her candidates, Tho voter should have ample time to examioe into the merits or demerits of tho different candidates, PROBABLE RESULT OF THE BREAK. It is not now unlikely that anti-Tammany may nom- imate a first ciass independent ticket, suould “ny can- didate”’ for Mayor be turced upon the citizens by Tam- many. In tbe anti-Tammany Convention of Wednes- day last Addrew H. Green was named by two districts, ‘The current might set'in favor of that gentleman when the Convention comes together again. If be retuses to | run then some first class canaidate like John T. Ag- | new, Jobn Grenville Kane or Wiliam K, Travers might ve placed in the field. Tammany seems bent upon se- lecting Augustus Schell as her standard bearer. } other name bas yet been mooted in Mr, Kelly’s kitchen cabinet. REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS. It is well understood that th this city cannot elect # single candidate in the county, and tu tact, in but few of the districts, unless by a con: Itton outside forces. The city republican vote in off years is from 35,000 to 40,000; but at this election, aa we have a Presiiential contest, it is expected that trom 47,000 to 50,000 wili be polled. Ww, considering (bat there aro about 90,000 democrats im solid column | Pitied agalpst the minority tn the city, it requires con- siderable political engineering upon the part of the re- publicans to deieat so formidable an enemy. It ni been done, however, frequently. It is doubiless moi ditlicult to do this in a Presidential year than at other periods, The mistakes of *Boss’’ Keily and bis stub- born adherence to the “my candidate” programme bave removed so far many of the impediments ot the tepublican party in this direction, Collector Arthur, Unied States District Attorney Bliss, Sue: | Shook, Governor Morgan, Thurlow Wee master James and other repuviican leaders are tar sbrewder politicians than the statesmen who under- take to run the Tammany machine. We do not bear of their bitter personal wranglings and ill-advived speecues before ward meetings, as evidenced by Mr. Jobn Kelly in his harangue « few nights since. It 18 understood (bat nothing positive will be done ns wutil alter the democratic plan of ully develope tions cannot come to au agreement until a week ‘Then they will be ready to take ail ad- xhibited weakness of Tammat Ci cordingly. Should Mr. Green their nomination jor Mayor it 18 not impro Alderman Jacob Hess or ex-Police Comm: becker may come to the tront tor County Clerk. Ex- Coilector Thomas Murphy 1s also talked of for this lace, Pit REPUBLICAN AND IXDEFENDENT DEMOCKATIC. ComM- NATION, ‘As far as present appearances would seem to tndi- cate We reo have & Combination against the Tam~ composed of the repubi: German avd jemocraiic orgunizstions with Anurew H, Greno tor Mayor, The speech of the Comptroiler .o the committee from tbe citizens’ association which hominuted him at tue Cooper Institute meeiing can warrant Bo Oiuer conclusion than that Lins positively made up his mind to be a candidate. Woether that caudidacy wil! continue until election day evidentiy depends upon bis indorsement by the Kepublicau Couuty Convention which meets next week, Taking toto consiaeration the probabilities of this coalition the following estimate of Mr. Green’s probavle vote i uiven by his triends:— ++ 47,000 Repavlican seve 15,000 10, German de: Independent demoei ‘This 1s considered to be a caim a view of the situation trom the Comptroller's #tand- point, and she estimate is pat down by many as much below what may follow such « combination. | Presum- ing, theretore, that 135,000 vutes are cast in this city on the 7th of November next, Andrew H.

Some of the districts which elect Congress- men, Aldermen Assemblymen would be also affected by this wave," aad Mr. Jobu Kelly, with “my candidate,” would be leit low and lonely at the deserted Wigwam in Fourteenth sirect. These aro subjects worthy of consideration for our meditative Statesmen. Tammany Hall was tavgnt a re 1e8- fon by the voters last November in the election of Re- corder Hackett over the “my caniidate" principle. He may be taught a second and more bitter lesson next THR GREENBACK MOVEMENT. Opinions are divided as te the pumber of votes which will be cast at the coming by the greenback people. It is conceded tha: nearly all, these votes, whatever they amount t come from democrats Should the contest in thi State prove close, as now seems evident, this mov ment may become a very imporiant feature for the politicians to consider. It is proposed by this party to place a full local ticket tn the field, and conventions ave been calledfor that purpose as follows :—-ounty, October 24; Congressional, Uctober 20; Aldermanic, October 21; Assembly, October 23; Senatorial, October 21. Some'of the greenback heroes are sanguin ough to prophecy that vote in this county will reach some 20,000, There arc those who jibe at the ‘hole movement, From thia vie Situation 16 lieved that a combination ticket against Tammany Hall, backed by independent democrats and republi- cans, is likely to sweep the field in view of the usual “my candidate’ tactics of Jobn Kelly. The green- back men may draw of @ considerablo support trom Tammany, as represented by the iaboring elements, and the defection might go far toward routung the Wigwam leaders, with their despotic king. THE SURROGATESIP, The responsibilities und duties of the Surrogate of this county are of such a grave character that it be- comes pecesary to place the very best candidate in Rowination. Care of property vo the value of millions of dollars and protection of the rights of widows and orphans are among the varied responsibilities of this oficial Hitherto the office has been run asa tender 10 Tammany Hall, or any other political machine which may bappen to succeed in electing its candidate. Ab the last election Mr. 5. ). Van Schaick was chosen Surrogate iu detiance of the ‘one man power."” Unfor- tunately Mr. Van Schaick died. He defeated Delano C, Culvin, ‘my candidate,’ at the ballot box by a iarge majority.” The will of the people was then and there plainly expressed, They did not want Mr. in, He was ger taken up by the “Boss, and they leit him guy siting in his dingy ' law office, But when Mr. Van Schaick died Kelly was bound to defeat the will of the people, The Bonrd of Aldermen, under a provision ol the charter (Wich should be amended immediately upon the as- sembiing of the Legistature), heid the power of Gilling the vaeancy. ‘*Boss’’ Kelly instructed them to ap- point Delano C. Calvin, and it was done. Now the wate office ia to be voted jor ia November, as Calvin has only been appointed under the law uniil the next general election. 1s remains to be seen whether an- ‘Other “my candidate’ will be placed before the poovle by Tammany Hail for this high office. The republica: bave not yét shown their hand, as they aro watching tne movements ? their opponents. The anti-Tam- many men talk of Judge Butler H. Bixby, What tho people want is an éminont lawyer of well known hon esty, such @ man as John E. Burrill, Charies M. Da Costa, Lewis L. Delafield or William C. Traphagen, THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEES. Yesterday was not a lively day at the political gen- eral headquarters in this city, The excitement inci- dental to the October elections had subsided, and the gentlemen who, auring the past week, had thronged the several headquarters anxiously asking for ‘news,”” Temained at home and quictly argued with thomselves whether the ‘news’? which had come at last was ta- vorable to their side or not. The feeling among the politi¢ians of lesser degree, who are occasionally to be found at one or the other of the headquarter rooms, was Varied—as varied, in fact, as were the returns of lastTuesday evening irom Obio and Indiana. As one of them remarked to the writer, “Politics seem to be very badly mixed this fall, Onio has gone largely republican, when the democrais ex- it to go democratic, and Indiana has, contrary to the expectations of the republicans, elected a democratic Governor. I don’t know whero it fu going toend."’ The writer suggested that 1 might possibly end in the election of one or the other of the ‘two candidates, and the politician repiied that he was not even sure of that. AT THE DEMOCRATIC HRAMQUARTEES,- ‘tm Liberty street, the large force of cierks were busily engaged in sending off cart loads of campaigs docu- ments aod arranging the programme of apeakers, &c., for next week. Tho sentiment dcemed to bo general among the visitors that the elections !n Ohio and Indi- ‘apa were harbingers of a general democratic victory in the next elections, The fact that Ohio had gone re- publican was due ina great measure to the influence ot the local ticket, and the ‘was a reasonable hot of a democratic maj ’e@ next month, In would undoabtediy mn jc majority, ‘The visitors during the day included Senator John a SI n, of Now Jersey; Judge Suffern and Hon. Smith Weed, of Rockland county, and Colonel John Harmon, of Michigan. AT THE EVERETT HOUSE matters were unusually quiet aud the rooms almost de- sertod, There seemed to be a happy feeling over the returns of the October elections, huwever, and a large pile of congratulatory teleg: aud lewers occupied an honored position on the e table. New York State, it was thought, was largely democratic; in fact, wasn’t any doubt of it all. Nevertheloss, the rg would eentre their strength on’ the coming election for the purpose of mak- ing he majority as large ar ible— possibly 80,000, Said one enthusiastic gentle- man, “Tho die is cast in this — State and Morgan and all his money can’t reverse it.” An- other gentleman, quite as enthusiastic, suid that there were 1,200 democratic clubs throughout the State, and 1m each of thom, without exception, there were to be found voters who had heretofore been republican. The detection from the republican ra was believed to be very large, Among the callers during the day were Governor Tilden, G James Craig, of Mis- sourt, and the Hon, Edwaru Kanter, of Michigan. THE REPUBLICAN HRADQUARTERS. republican headquarters Mr. Coruell, and clerks were busily engaged in ar- Taogivg matters for next week. The callers in tho | outer rooms rather freely discussed the situation, and | particularly the status of this state in the coming fight. It Was thought that the Taimmany split would materially affect the election in this city, and tue pros- pects now wero most favorable for « republican Logis- jature, The gubernatorial election, it was conceued, would be close, but Mr. Morgan would win. Mr. Rob- ingen Was not popular, and as one gentleman ro- markod, ‘if it were not for the prestige secured by tional ticket he could nos carry even his Altogether, then, the chances that New York would go republican wero thought to b&ex. ceedingly good, AY THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE rooms the quiet that generally pervades that quarter prevailed yesterday. On the table were many letters und telegrams from prominent gentlemen congratulat- | ing the party on the | triumphs of Ohio and Indiana. The Hon. Zach.

In Ohio and Indiaua there had been a republican gain of ten Con- gressmion, and if the other States did as well in pro- portion the coming House woula be largely repub- hean. Tho pariy would be entirely satisiied with the me proportion of advance as that showu by Indiapa. | Considerabie surprise was manifesied at the address tgsued by Mr. Mewitt, the Chairman of the ‘Democratic Natioual,Committee, Festurduy.

THE GERMAN’ REPUBLICANS. A Large and Enthusiastic Meeting at the Cooper Institute. SPEECH OF CARL SCHURZ. His Views on the Political and Finaneial Situ- ation in His Native Language. —-_—_. The large ball of the Cooper Institute was jammed last evening by @ brilliant assembiage of ladies and gentlemen, who came to listen to a speech of the silver tongued orator ex-United States Senator Carl Schurz, of Missouri, The meeting was beld under the auspices of the German Republican Central Campaign club’ Not only every available seat tn the body of the hall was occupied, but even in tho aisles, closely packed, a mass of humanity elbowed their way through as near tp the front as poss- ible to hearthe speaker, The platform was littered with chairs, upon which many prominent gentlemen were seated, besides hundreds standing ap. Long betore the designated hour for the meeting to begin the hall was so (ull that many persons had to go away. It was therefore thoughs advisable that another meeting should be organized. A brass band was pres- ent, discoursing patriotic airs. A few minutes before eight o'clock Governor Salomon appeared in the hall, having-in bia charge the speaker of the evening, Sen- ator Schurz The appearance of the latter created the most unbounded enthusiasm, which continued for at east five minutes, Finally Judge A. J. Dittenhoefer culled the meeting to order. Alter the unanimous adoption of the resolutions the orator of the evening was introduced by Governor Salomon, who stated that the services rendered by the eminent statesman now hore during a long and useful career in behalf of the citizens of his adopted country the enthusi sony deservs ic reception accorded im. MR, SCHURZ'S ADDRESB. Fauiow-Crtizexs axp Lapixs:—I can but simply ‘hank you for the great enthusiusin with which I sin groeted; but 1 am net surprised, especially as a few of the opposition papers have painte1 me as a picture of despair, especially my friends of the Staats Zeitung have made such a doleful announcement of myeap- pearance here. Such a sight as this assembly pre- sents assures me at ah bered by @ few, and here this evening gives shat republicanism among the Germans in this great city ie dead, We need no pity from our opponents, I think at this present moment we are 1n a most hopeful condition. The democratic party fully expected an avalanehe out West from the late elections, but the flood did not come. Especially in Ohio they thought to carry the State by a large majority, and their beliet was strengthened by the calumny heaped upon Mr. Barnes, who was villifled and maligned inevery shape. Lt may have been & mistake to nominate him as he was somewhat bigoted in certain respects, baton the whule he is an unexception: man. From the results achieved inthe Wast I can safely proynosticate that i Indiana will botn go republican, and that Rutheriora B. Hay will be our next President. (Cheers.) From the standpoint [ take I commenced a &n independent citizen and only assist in this cam- paign in support of tho best jneasures, and to oppose every corrupt scheme. I believe that a republican is a patriot. Parties ure nothing but machines to achieve great public objects, and in this instance the elevation of such men as the leaders of the republican party is the chief and most important ob- It ts necessary that our financial systom must japed 80 iuse confidence. We need reform in our government, in our civil service, must maintain civiland religious liberty anda unity of parties by adopting and carrying out'a generous policy. There are great material interests at stake in this campaign, I don’t forget that I stand on the ground of the great metropolis, Look, you business men, at tbe present aspect of affairs. Business is dull, labor scarce, the numbor of bankruptcies grown to an alarm- ing extent, Our opponents say “Wo must have a change.” L am cortainly and positively in favor of a change, but it mast bea change for ihe bette The democrats blame the administration for tho st nation. Is it just? For my part | have never hesi- tated to attack the republican adminiatration when I thought it was wrong, but I have not the slightest Id that the aduiiuistration is responsible for the hard ‘rhe present cri: broke out tn 1873 while I was in Vienna at the Exhibition, continued the speake! Many bankruptcies occurred in Europe, and the cont gion spread like wildfire. From this we may dategour present stagnation in business. According to our op- ponents? view, the appearance of the potato bug origin- aily came from bad administration, The real evil, however, exists in the overproduction of goods for which there was no market and the building of railroads which ran through lands where only wild animals and wilder Indaus ranged, and incurring debts tor friv without any definite provision as to the: in 1873, we have a panic, and thus it will be settled fact that ars; but this one bus ai ittle ahead of ime. However, better times ify. The inflationists eay what we w. ry is more greenbacks, but I ™y, what we really need is a restoration of confidence. It is, therefore, necessary to abolish that which has been productive of this evil. We know to-day whata dollar is worth now, but who can tel! what it will realize three years hence? We ¢ establish a sound currency of goid and sil- lace every twenty a utable financial policy—and then only 1% bo possible to restore our old pros perity. The election which about to take place 1s one of material interest to body. Which party can secure to us the best financiai policy? The party that cau do this is the one most entitled to the support of the public. ‘The speaker then reviewed the character Of the sev- eral political parties, giving each their meed of praise and condemnation accoruing to their deserts. He said that in 1875, during the election in Ohio, on one side stood tho democratic party, headed vy William Alleu, the greenback candidate, onthe other Governor RB. Hayes,a bard money One represented the inflation’ party and the solid carrency. Thank God the latter party ‘was Victorious, Had we lost then, and the inflation: guined the day, the contagion would hi spread over tho West liko a burning praine. Thus we will win this year, although the democratic party claim to be tm iavor of hard money, but it is only a sham, They are suddenly be- coming virtuous, and when sinners repent so suddeuly it 18 time to look into their motives. In this instance, however, their pretensions are shallow and their mon- etary principles a sham. . ‘The republican party is accused of having neglected to resume specie payment, which they should have done since 1363, What bas the democratic party done in these eleven years? What 1 they done that they now sit hero and weep crocodile tears ran inflaed currency? They havo eadily and bitterly opvosed every meas. ure ‘looking toward © resumption _sinco 1863 they have been endeavoring to flood the country with a worthless paper currency and repudiate our honest indebtedness, The speaker then explaiued the Resumption act, and said if that was struck off our statute books confidence would vanish and our credit abroad and at home suffer most dis- astrously, The Democratic National Con- yention strenuously insisted = upon ‘inserting the plank of repeal in their platiorm, while their party in Congress was presumed to act in the same spir ‘The democracy bides itself bebind the flimsy pretext that a definite time having been set for resuming specio yinent, it cannot bo carried out. One might as well y that a man givivga uote payable specified time ft cannot be properly inet, Our opponents nominated t , & hard money man, and Hendrick: soft money. ‘ihese were concessions, The latter were mgde in order to capture tho soft money voters out West. The two nominees cousulted long and earnestly at Saratoga, and the letters of acceptance demoustrated bow the hard money Tilden was Converted to a sott moncy man, Tilden is now a Janus, He has two | faces—one turned eastward with an expres- sion. as hard as flint; the other wes ‘d, looking as jt as mush, It he can support this réle he is welcome to it. Last year the tutelit io New York pass « hard = money resolution, has conduced materially toward in Ohio, Now, however, since hi to this act succer and our letter of accep- tance bas been published the Vendietons, Allens and others of that ilk openly boast of Tilden’s inflation prochvities. What heroism can be expected from Til- den? Did not his knees shake when he wrote that letter of acceptance? How has he sold bis soul to the iptlationisis? From these facts you may draw your nce of the results of a democratic victory femember, business men of New York, the effect of @ continued Weakened currency on @ return to specie paymeut—and prosper! Have not the closing of factories lasted long envagh? Do you want thts State of affairs to continue? if so, vole the democratic ticket The speaker continued in an {mpassioned strain, going iulo minor detaiis on the eurrency question and ving the most cogent reavons for the election of Hayes as President, lauding his great moral courage, which every line of his letter of acceptance portrays, and predicting that if the republican party is success: ful there will be ® bard money majority in Congress, The republican party is the insirument to resto: prosperity to the country. Senator Schurz spoke at length on'tho subject of ro- form, aud arraigned Belknap and others of the party as much for their corruption as Tweed and company, of Tammany Hal. Ata late hour the meeting adjourned amid cheers for Hayes and Wheeler, Morgan und Rogers, Senator Schurz and the success of the republican ticket, BROOKLYN REGISTRATION. At @ meeting of republicans held if the Seventh ward, Brooklyn, on Friday night last, Dr. W.
