8 TAMMANY AND HER FOES, ————— WHERE BNCLE SAMMY COMES | ——o ee A Republican's Theory of the True In- wardness of the Combination. READY FOR THE BATTLE The Warriors of the Wigwam Confident and Enthusiastic, se SPs eae One week of active campaigning remains, and the Datialious on both sides, Tammany and the combina- Honists, are driving their canvass at high pressure speed. Activity is everywhere observable in the dis- tr.cts, and it is conceded that not a single point will be Jost by eitner in the effort to win the banner of Victory {rom tue election returns of November 5, The most important questions of the local canvass Bo far seem to be:— . First—Will the republican yote be cast in full for Edward Cooper ? Second—W ili the republicans keep faith in their deal on @ combination? Zhird—Wiil the principal anti-Tammany jeaders— ®x-Senator Bixvy, ex-Sheriif O’Brien, Emanuel B, Hart, and others im the districts give the Cooper Lickel their enthusiastic support? Fourth—Wiil vot the complexion given to the con- troversy between Samuel J. Tilden aad Joba Kelly weaken the combination side? Fyi—Can the republicaas afford to bargain in ais- tricks 1u manipulating the bailot boxes so as to trade off vo.es with Tammany Hall in return for support to Conkling Assembly ment Sizth—Does the increased registry over that of last Year argue against Lammany Hall, the increase being more observable in repuvlicau than democratic dis- iriets Seventh—W iil the entire vove cast on the Stilt of No- vember reach 140,000, and will the auti-Tammany vote equal that of the year 1875, when Jono K. Hackett was electea Recoruer? CONFLICTING RESPONSES. ‘The answers to these impertant questions are ex- Seodingiy difficult, When a iammany men is ap- proached for a solution he naturally gives bis particu- jar views of the controversy tinged, of course, with purtivanship. Wheo an anti-‘l'ammanyite is ques- tioned he follows in the same strain from his particular standpoint, The republicans, bn the whole, allege that the strength of their party will go to the combination ticket, but there are many of the rank and file who ceclare they will uot vote for Tilden by supporting Cooper, and this view 18 appar. ently taking a strong hold on a great many who were at first enthusiastic over a combined Oght against Yammany. ‘As a choice between Tilaen und Kelly so control the city goverament, I preier Kelly,’’ seems to be the motto of these republicans, Ibe HERALD representative met with a few Hayes men yesterday, who argued that Augustus Schell would undoubtedly get the benedt of ut least 10.000 independent repubil can votes, cast by those opposed to machine Jeader- ehip 1o their party in this city, So goes the argument, and it would be a wise man who could satistactorily decide all the controversies 80 agtocome io u positive conclusion in the great strife about to be decided at the ballot-box on Novem- ber 6. A SUSPICIOUS REPURLICAY. The opinions of a prominent republican were given tothe Hunat representative yesterday at the West- minster Hotel, as follow “What willbe the result of the combination and ‘will at be faiuthiully carried out?” 7 “in my opinion there will be slaughter right and jett, The republican objective point in this canvass is Conkiing’s re-election, and to that end the machive will be oriven, Whenever and wherever votes can be obtained tor republican Assemblymen they will be brought out at any and every sacrifice and tue county ticket traded oif ior that purpose.’ “How many votes will be polieat”’ “'fbat is sill an unknowns quantity. Probably from 140,000 to 145,000, Im my juugment it Is gomg to bea very clowe race.”” “What ts the exact bargain, if tnere is a real bar- guin, Letweeu u certain branch of republicans and Tammany Hail, and what is the consideration for such ap extraordinary compact?” “selell—tue entire barguin lies ina shell, Just as Conkling 1s the Alpha and Omega with tue Conkling repuulicans WhO DoW Coutro! the repuviican mucnine, so is Scheli the Alpha aud Omega of Jouu Keily, Just as (he mecaine republicans will be dead politi- cally it Conkhug 18 defeated, so will Jono Kelly be Auuibilated if Schell is reje How ousily then to ea bargain, Kelly cures uothing lor Conkling; the Coukling repuviicuus care notuing for Scteli, Loth parties being ready ana both having the same motives strike bunds witb each other, aud Seheil be- comes Mayor aud Conkling senator.
