PLN ETO IEG RS, THE POLITICAL FEVER. Another Day's March in the Local Campaign. TAMMANY'S OPPORTUNITY. Signs of Disaffection in the Republican Ranks. CONGRESSIONAL CONTESTS. . A Lively Mass Meeting Addressed by Democratic Leaders. The headquarters of the varieus factions at Tam many Hall, Irving Hail, Fifth Avenue Hotel, St, Nicholas Hotel and Westmimster Hotel were filled yesterday with politicians, whe canvassed the pros» peets ot next week’s election with considerable warmtn, “What will be the vote polied?”? was asked of an tzperienoed politician atthe Fifth Avenue Hotel, “1 think about 140,000.” ‘Lhe calculations of ail the politicians seem to be based upon these figures. Both sides, with book and pencil tm hand, can calculate to a nicety the exact Vote that each of their Mayoralty candidates will re- ceive, The Hxna.p @uitorials of yesterday indicated the precise feelings of the politicians in this respect, They are all sanguine as to the coming resulta, “Gooper will be elected by 20,000 majority,” said ne. “Sebell will undoubtedly be elected by 25,000 ma. loruy,” remarked anotner. “Will the combination be kept intact?! asked an Anti-Tammany maa of a repuvlicaa. DIVIDED Wm PALL. “It is exceedingly doubilul,” was the response “Many of our people will not strike hands with dome- crate for the purpose of assisting the chances of Samuel J. Tilden for the next Presidential pomina- tion, We have already evidences of @ break in the republican ranks.” “Where?” ““tave you not read the speech ot ex-Judge Ditten- Doeler at the late County Convention? He there Made @ manly protest against the one-mam power in the republican machine of this eity. Considerable dissatisfaction exists among tne rank and file of \be party in consequence of the shelving of Ditten- hoeler, That gentleman had a majorny of the Confer- ence Committee and also of the Convention, but a couple of tue leaders stepped in aud insisted upon the Bomtvation of Phelps. That act bas created a great deal ol dissatistaction. There seems to be no head in $hi8 peculiar union of anti-Tammany soreheads and Fepudiicans”? Contrary arguments, of course, continue to bé put forth by the combinationists. rhey talk more con- fiuently ag tothe result. The robbery of the Man- battan Savings Lusiitution yesterday was grasped at a8 a ground Jor throwing out ingivuations against one bt the Tammany cundidutes connected with that bank. ‘They acbieved, however, very :ndifferent re- sulte, BETTING ON THE RESULT.

Whether be is whistiing soiely for the purpose of keeping up bis courago is not quite apparent, but here 1s the proposition made turough some of his Iriends:—$20,000 18 ready to be bet at the rate of $1,000 to $750 that Edward Cooper will be tue next Mayor of New York. This news was given out yesterdey at Cooper’s headquarters with a od deal of satisisction. The Tammany men, how- rer, ure evidently willing to back up the faith that is in them by offering odds on their favorite “Schell,” The most perfect coniidence can be found on the Tammany tide, and this feeling evidently permeates the whole organization froin its head down to the ‘weakest primary leader. The “ghost” stories circa- lutea by tie oppoucnts of the via Wigwam do net seem to frighteu we Tammanyites iu the least They act and tulk like men who ieel that they have a hard canvass before them, but see assured Victory at tbe bailot box.
