THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN. Closing Up the Ranks for November’s Contest. TAMMANY AND HER FOES, | Outlook for the Combination City and County Candidates. AN EXCITING LOCAL CANVASS The Struggle for Register, Judges, Senators, Assemblymen and Aldermen. TAMMANY’S | SENATORIAL NOMINATIONS, cana Tammany has placed her county candidates in the field, aud the opposition will follow next week, The names for the latter ticket, however, have been prac- Meally agreed upon. The successful candidates wero foreshadowed in the Hzraup for several weeks before the Tammany Convention assembled, so that the poli- ticians and the public were not surprised when tbe cut and dried slate came out from the caucus of the Committee on Organization on Thursday last, The naming of Frederick W. Loew for Rogistor simply Means a recognition of Charles E. Loew. It was the old story of Tammany’s tactics repeated ‘with dramatic accompaniment. Elevon hundred and twenty-eight delogates congregated at the Wigwam for the purpose of nominating candidates tor Register, Judges and aldermen-at-largo, But when over one thourand of these delegates arrived at the doors of the Fourteenth streot building they found that the work had been done in advance, The mandate had gone forth; they were bound to swallow the ticket or walk out of the Tammany organization. A whis- per of dissont must have consigned any one of them to ignominious political deat, The master hand touched off the battery, compelling all to dance around the Wigwam council firo. If any capered through such war dance one Binge step out of time with tho musicot the “sig Chiet” their scalps might soon dangle at bis bolt asa punishment for rebellion. It was genorally under- stood a “few hours before the assembling of the Convention that Charles E. Loow would bo nominated for Register. The gentieman worked day and pight among the rank and file of the party to secure this result But, presto! at the last moment the name of his brother is substituted. The wand of the enchanter stretched mysteriously over the 1,123 delegutes, nominating Fredorick W, Loew, who had never been mentioned Previously during the whole canvass, It is all in the family, however, and gramblers must console them- selves with the idea that if Charles E. has been de- feated Frederick W. carrios off the palm of victory, It is not a far-fetched prophecy that in case of the election of the latter the former will have something to say about the run- Ding of the Rogister’s office. Thero is no douot that Mr. Frederick W. Loew will make a good official if elected. He was deteated forre-clection by Judge Van Hoesen, of the Common Pleas, two yoars ago, Then a combination was made against him and other Tam- Many candidates precisely as it is proposed to make a combination of outside forces this fall, Mr, Shepherd F. Koapp would have made tho strongest und most availabie candidate by far, but the dictum went forth and the ‘boys’? were compelled to obey. . ANTI-TAMMANY FIGURES, Since the nomination of the Tammany county Ueket the outside partics proposing to combine against the common enemy claim to see assated vic- tory inthe future. They assert that the inorease in Tegistration compared with 1875 gives unmistakable -proot of tho interest folt by the masses in tho ap- proaching election, The entire vote cast tor District Attorney at that time was 128.571, Of these Benjamin K. Phelps, the republican xnd anti-Tammany candi- date, received 77,532, and Peter B. Olney, the Tam- many nominee, 50,939, It will thus be seen that Mr, Pholps’ majority was 26,953, Recorder Hackotws Majority at this time was several thousand more than that received by Mr. Phelps, This is a good cri- terion to go by im studying the probable result of the election in this city next month, Unuver the aspect of the present registry, as far as 1t has gono, it is fair to presuine, at « low estimate, that 135,000 votes will be polled. A ranguine combinativajst makes up toe following estimate, taking this number ot votos us a Dasis, and Keeping the lgures aown ux low as pos- idl Republican vote...... German democrati Total.... Tammauy Halt, Majority for combination ticket. These iigures uro bused more particularly on the idea that tue combination about to be made will be solid and compact; that the three orgaaizetious—re- publicans, independent democrats und Auti-fam- mapyit will keep exact faith ia the controversy about to be decided at the ballot box, CLOSE UP THE RANKS. TWo years ago this contract was made and carried out to the letter, A waver was not perceptible ulong the whole line.

The wants of the times and the corruption ot Tammany and canal rings culled Mr. Tilden to Albany. The supporters of Mr. Groon contend that tho corruptions of the city Pyennees demand his election to the Board of Ai- dermen. Should the anti-Tammanyites gain control that body they propose to make bim President. He wiil t be a member of the Board of Ap- portionment, where it is urged he will act as Vigorous thorn in the side of those who oppose prop- ositions tending te cut down high oilivial salaries, The late Comptroller had faults like other men, bat 1t be recollected that he stood on guara at tho door ft the city treasury lor five years, eating buck the assaults of currupt politiciang, TAMMANY’ PLEA. Tammany Hall comes compactly on the field with solid and well equipped ranks. She has emerged trom the Albany battle field with flags gayly flutiering 10 the breeze. The prestige of victory corries with it enthu- siasm, and the rank and tile of the party feel a cortain conf sace which it 1 eaceedingly difficult to ahuke, Mr. ‘hayer, in bia County Convention speech, scou ed the idea that Tammany was responsible for the...bany achievement, by which the old ticket was deteated and the Canal Ring bunner advanced once more to the front, That statement wus truo as a matior of fact, wonderful abilities of Tammany were ‘not at all exemphiied in this tight. ‘the main question was settied belore Tammany had a voice in the Con- tion, But the sympathies of tho Wigwam were well known, and her “moral” influence nud a good deal to do with the final result, Her position w: nounced several weeks before the asscmbling of tI Convention, and the time came was ready to clasp hands with the 169 delegates who strack down Governor Tilden’s iriends, However, Tammany bas been undoubtedly strength- ened by the success of Tilden’s enemies at Albany. few thousand, who always sit on the fence waiting jor the first victory im any important polit conilict, have flop over tothe Wigwam since the adjourn- mentol the Convention, ‘The spoils of office are the main incentives to work in u political campaign. Tummany slreagy controis nearly two-thirds of the pingen in the city. She yearns to reward ber faithtul jenehmen with wi emuins, Tho Kegister’s office bas been for several years in the hands of the enemy. ‘There are several places hore which would be of use to tho muchive, hon this battle is not alone a contest for tho emoluments of the Register’s office. If Mr, Loew 1s detented the whole Tsummany county ticket will go down with bim, and it may follow thi 0 Bourd of Alcermen will, too, be cap- tured by the enemy. This eud to the canvass would reat disaster and materially disorganize tne Plans of Tammany io her attempt to control the future politics of the city and State. The strongest argu- ment which Tammany puts forthin support of ber ticket is the plea of regularity and the necessity tor cohesion 80 as to secure control of the next Logis- lature, It 18 contended that the combination bowween the republicans and robellious demo- crats may operate 50 as to give several of the Assembly and two of the Senatorial districts in this city to thut party. Such a disposition of the fight might, too, further postpono a proper and equitable reapportionment of the State, and also endauger 4 election of a democratic United States Senator in 1879 These are specious and apparently well timed aryu- ments; but 11 16 argued trom another standpoint that a time has arrived when all party, ines aro about to be broken in pieces. If a harmo- ious welding together of republicans, German democrats, independent democrats and anti-l'ammany- ites can present class ticket for all offices to be chosen this fall far ahoad of Tammany’s slate in every particular, then party predilections wilt not step in the way to defeat such @ combination, The people of the city, State and county, the combination Icaders assert, bave become sick of this everlasting cr; party lines, What they want is honest, intelligent, capable men tor office, the parties can take care of themauiver. THX ASSEMBLY SLATE. Last Sunday’s Heraup contained a list of the proba- ble nominees of all parties for members of Assembly. No changes have since boen made to alter the general appearance of the field. The republicans hope to cupiure several of the districts by combining with the independent democrats, Germans and Anti-lammany- ites. This is the foundation for teequent arguments on the part of Tammuny Hail against the combmation teket, The outside democrats are called traitors to their purty, aod deveribed as trading politicians williny i Out io the republicans for the purpose of accomplishing their onds, But the great magses of the citizens of New York can afford to bury partisan considerations for the present if by so doing they obtain a frst class delegation to the Assembly from this city 10 the pext Legislature, The disgracotul spectacie nas been again and 0 presented on the floor of the As- sembly at Albany of a delogativn from the metropolis One-Luif of whom could scarcely deBipher the red book, and a fow more, if they could read that volume, could not understand its meaning. These mea were, too, always ready for bargain and salo, Their “optical exorcise,” according to the slang of the lobby, consisted tn cvatinually “looking out jor boues.’’ Horse car, insurance, railroad, gas aad other rich cor- porations bought them like sheep, They were led to the slaughter through the manipulations of such notorious lobbyists as Bueber, Van Vechten, Jones, Phelps and otnors of similar stripe. Tho ‘question of republicanism or domocracy Was not then entortained. 1 is not itkely, therefore, that the majority of voters in this city wiil stand on hair-splitting techatealities as to the political com- plex of candidates tor Assembly upon election day, hey will, doubtiess, vote for the purest and most cup- ablo men, Lt is this potiry wo ch alone can save city, ‘State and nation from being bankrupted by the mere politicians, The only change of consequence tn the Tam- Many programme lor Assembly appears to be tho re- ported siating of Patrick Daly iu the Fourteeaty dis- trict, This goutiemun is at present a city marshal. The repudlicans and outside democrats will combine on Mr. James Daly, Mr. William F.

He has a vory largo circle of triends, and will, 11 elected, ve the popular advocate of rapid trensit, afr. Moller nas the support ot Cyrus W.

Mr. Savage is vn American, tried, faithtul, poor, Mr. Loow is nis brotner’s candidate, popular, wealthy. Mr, Savage is a man of unquestionea char- acter and wutaruished reputation.

Mr. Savage's election would be a step in the direction of Toul civil service reform avd would be & substaucial re-ognition of a tried und taith- ful public servant, Mr. Loew's election would be the elevation of a professional politicun and would add to © yreat wealth of a man already made ricu by pub- lic office.
