—-+—___. Finishing the Canvass for State, City and County Officers, TWO ARMIES AT BAY. Both Sides Confident of Victory on Tuesday Next. TAMMANY AND HER “ANTI” Record of a Day’s Campaigning— The List of Candidates. The two armies of Tammany and anti-Tammany are $o-day drawn up in solid column. Tho bugle blasts of commanders sounding shrilly through camp and de- Qle, have brought upon the tield compact hosts and well disciplined rogiments. Two days only remain for active campaign service; then comes tho clash of party steel The wild utterances of the dema- gogue or tho doubtful prophecies of the parti- Ban may dwarf for ao timo speculation as to the main controversy, but tno voters of the metropolis look upon the fight in its important ry and no other. Tho campaign may havo a purely Political complexion, but the undorlying groundwork of attack and defence really means tho downfall or victory of Tammany Hall, Leaders and wirepullers of the Wigwam understand the situation thoroughly in this respect, From tho redoubtable “Boss”? bim- ‘self down to the merest Tammany ward hero, all nave girded their loins fora hand-tp-hand struggle. The Seventh Senatorial district has become the real Shipka Pass of the present conflict, Morrissey’s red flag flut- ters defiantly from tho Ashland House, while Scholl’s Tammany banner shakes out its folds from the head- quarters in Twenty-elghtby.treat, The gleaming scim- Atar of Major Gencral Green is drawn against the man who replaced bim in the Comptroller’s office aftera fivo yoars’ struggle against political thi 8, while the republican battalions are drawn up in calm expecta. tion, ready to march on the feild tn support of the in- dependent democratic legion—the Bixby-Snaffer con- tingent and German landwehr, directed by Brigadier Generals Hess, Dosches, Koch, Goebel and others, As our peaceful Sabbath opens this morning the watch fires, burning brightly all last night, fade out with the roturoing light, To-night aod to-morrow night they they will burn with renewed vigor. Both sides hope toexclaim on Tuesday night when the resultof the election 1s known— Our co‘ors do return in th hands ‘That did display them when we first marched forth, TAMMAXY’S DANGER, It ts genorally conceded that if Tammany Hall should bo beaten on next Tuosday her prestige and Strength will receive a formidable 1f not fatal check. Should her county ticket bo defeated it is probable that the contro! of tho Board of Aldermen will go to her opponents—a powerful stumbling block in the distribution of Tammany’s patronage, With ex- Comptrollcr Green as President of the Board and a member of the Boarg ‘of Apportionment a most dan- gerous foe to Tammany would be placed in power. As the last montioned Board now stands it is purely aud simply a Tammany machino, Mayor Ely is the only independent spirit among tho members, Tho others hold their offices because of the will of Tammany. No matter how anxious Mr. Ely may be to rectity abuses or cut down expenses, he conn be circumvented by the vote of his three colleagues. {f Green sbould be elected a mem- ber of the Board of Apportionment thon Mayor Kly would certainly socure an ally inthe generous work of “reduction and reform, Govertior Robinson, too, in ono of his veto messages last winter, laid considerable stress upon the importanco he attached to any advico coming from tho local authorities in legisiative mat- ters. The presont Board of Aldermen is also a Tam- many machi in the strictest sease ot tho term, Some of its peculiar pastimes have been tho “breaking of jaws,”’ making of bupcombe speockes and tho draw- ing of exorbitant salaries, Each member receives $4,000 per onnum for ‘his extraorginary services, The President is paid $1,000 extra, Twenty-two members, therefore, receive $89,0)0 an- buully, and the total estimate for this year runs up to $114,500. An idoa prevails that if the people of this pity are taxed over $100,000 to pay a Board of Alder- men and a bevy of clerks, librarians, &., it would be Well to havo tho work done intelligently and re- epectably, and not conducted asa machine to grind out patronage and places for a political organization, The fight, then, upon the political complexion of this body ts certainly a very importan: one in view ot the present aspect of public affairs in this city, Tam- many’s danger now lies more in the result of this struggle than in that of any other. COMSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. The combiuation party in its canvass has taken par- cular pains to be placed squarely on the record in the matter of the disiranchising clause in the consti- tutional amendments. They stato their caso as fol. ows :—‘The peoplo must bear in mind that the ofcers bamed upon the combination ticket in opposition to Tammany Hall bear no relation to the question of tho constitutional amendments and will have no voice to regard to them greater than any individual voter when thesame shall be submitted, it at all, to tho people, Tho ery set up by John Kelly and his co- hortsin Tammany Hall that tho opposition are at- tempting to diatranchise the people is a deception and fraud, practised by him and them to divert the public mind from the true issues presouted tu this canvass and pothing but au effort to obtain votes for the Tam- many ucket by false pretences,” On tho other hand, Tammany orators Insist upon it Maat the disfranchisement proposition is really a prominent issue of this cativiks, that the republican party has identified itsclf with itin the Logislature, and that the combinatton party being composed prin- cipally of republicans should tako whatever of morit or or obloquy that may be uttached to tho amendments, ‘Then, oo, Tammaby potots to the ominous fact that it was solely by republican votes that the amendments went through tho last Logielatare, Tammapy, con quently, on these grounds claims to be the main wtumbling-block in the way of proventing the election ofa republican Senate and Assembly, which will sond these amendinents bofore tha people to be accepted or rejected, as the caso may be, in the fall cf 1878, “Retrenchment” and “Reform” are also chief rally- Ing cries in our local campaign. The combinations endeavor to turn the tables on tneir adversaries by citing the following extracts from a lotter written by Comptroller Kelly to tho citizecs’ mecting at Stein. way Hall:—“In my department, for example, 1 find ‘that my prodocessor used the pruning knife of retorm with an unsparing Land io reducing salaries, and gen- erally the reductions mado by him Jeavye no margin for retrenchment tn this Item of expenditure in the Finauce Department without inflictiug manifold iu. Justice upon faithtul and eficient public servants,” CEMENTING THE FOKCES, During the past week it was feared that wrangling in the various Aldermanic districts among the out- siders might resuit in doing considerabie damage to their canvass, More than ordinary eflorts were made tunis year by candidates to secure piaces on the com- bination ticket, With proper management and co- hesion success seems almost certain, Taking into consideration the present complexion of the public mind the combinationists claim that they cao secure tue following members of tue Common Vouncil: Four Alderme Large—Andcew H, Green, Joseph ©. Pinckney, Wilhum H, Gedney and Louis M. Doscher; two in the Fourth Senate district,* Dennis Buros aud Koday 8, Brasse}. It is possible that John Robin#on, republican, or Bryan Reilly, democrat, may be elected in piuce of either of these two, Reilly's career 1m tho Bowrd of Aldermen has given him Birength among (he wWorkingmen of the dis- trict, and he is, in consequence, likely to secure a largo vote both trom Tammany and anti- Tammany, aithougo runging as an independent ca: didave. ‘two in the Fifth, John J, Morris John W.

On this vital issue he explains his position as fol- lows:—**A cheap and quick means of transit trom ono part of the city to anetber, and particulariy irom the northerly to the southerly portion, 1s not only essential for the convenionce abd requirements of to residents of the upper part of the isiund, but it is also aury in order to develop and utilizo the prop- erty and resources ol the entire city und to prevent the people irom withdrawing from the metropolis to New Jorsey and Long Island. it is said that ope of the reasons why quick transit has beon de- jayead so long tbat somo of the fran- clises have fallen jato the bands of specu- lators, whose ovject has been, not to build we road a$ ap invesiment, but to uso the charter tor the tssuing of stocks and bonds wisn which they could speculate to udvantage, Tne only sale course is tor tue Cupitulists und real estate owners to inake a com- bined cffort to build the necosrary roud for thor legitimate purpose.
