) sach a “tangled” outlook, the only wa: 4 Is There a Serious Hitch in the Com- ‘ binationists’ Councils ? TAMMANY’S CONFIDENCE “Phe Prospects of an Agreement of the Conference Committees, Sunday is looked upon as a day of rest for the masses, Aa exception to this general rule may be fouad among she politicians, On the eve of an elec- tion these enterprising gentlemen ure untiring and featless, But two weeks now remain for caucus, wire pulling, and discussion, Yosterday the politieal mind was busy in this eonnection. The pesceful Babvath, bracing and ciear, bad no charms for them 4s far as outdoor exercise is concerned, They were Imprisoced in meeting room, hotel parlor and eor, ridor. Ywo main questions wore discussed by the politi. Giuvs yesterday with intense interest—the chances lor a combination ticket and the atrongth of tne Pammauy candidates The adjournment of the cou- ference commitiees on Saturday without ¢oming to may positive sgroement gave reasoaadie ground to suppose that a gertous bitch hadéaken plage some- where, Tho Tammany people looked wise yesterday gud scomed to think that there was something 1p the A that boded no goud to the combinutionisia, The latter claimed that it was all right, and that Edward Cooper would undoudtedly head their ticket as the Mayoraity candidate. “Ine Fitth Avenue Hotel is now the heaaquarters at night for leading politicians of all parties, Tne Mutements made here pointed unmistakably im tho firection of a combination ticket; but cortaim mys serious rumors last night seemed to indicate serious Impediments in the way ofa perfect coalition, Sevator Conkling was at the hotel during the afternoon and bad a long cousultatioa wita Mr, A. B Cornell aad other republican leaders, The Senavor was silent yn being questioned ag to the combination moves ments. It was given out during the eventng that an im- had arisen in the matter of division of mmany ees Should their ticket succeed at the next olece The mode of this division, as far as the repub- concerned, was also understood to have boen the subject of serious vebate, 1t was also mys- toriously hinted that ccrtuin exposures were coming ‘as to “deals” made by combination candidutes lass fall tm this matter of patronage. INTERVIEWS WITH LEADERS, Buch s peculiarly mixed conuition of affairs is likely to continue untii this afternvon, when the conference commitiees meet —the republicaus at No, 37 Cliuton piace and the democruts at the Ashiand House, Wih to get at the Situation is to givo tho sentiments of the leaders on ail sides, Tne iuner working of the machi cannot be sbown up by these politicians un- fess their mames as aathoritics are kept out of Yhe papers, They are wiliing to talk, if they can do so ander cover, The schemes of friends and enemies tre thus exposed, und the pubiie can form an esti- Wate of the situation on reading such opinions Of Yourse, they are uttered trom bitter partisan stand- polnte—about one-half of truth and the other half of falsehood and calumny—to suit emergendier, Tho Voters, however, will be easily able to sift the wheat from the chaff in. pondering over these wise con- ttusions, * COMBINATION ARGUMENTS, Ove of the republican leaders was asked last evens img the question— “Woy 1s it considered better in certain republigan Quarters for the repuviican party to form | combina- von against Tammany tbau to sominaie a tieket of shaw own?” “Because with a combination it is certain that ten or eleven republican Assembiymen, certam to vote for Conkling as United Stutes Senator, can be obtained io this city, while im no event would Tammavy Hull deliver any Assemblyman (that could otherwise be obtained.
