We may nominate a man who is not a member of Tammany Lall, if it is thought to be for the interest of the democratic party. The light this year is but the prelimi nary skirmish to the real battle in 1890. If the republicans w in in this city and state next fall, there is not the slightest doubt but that they will carry the country in 18. They will also elect the next congress, and leave the presi dent without the support of either branch of the legislature d'iring tbe last two years of his term. My view of the condition it that it behooves every democrat to make sacrifices in the in terest of his rarty."

"You can easily understand that I cannot discuss such a jwint at present," he replied, nnd that was all he would say. It is a weil-known fact among habitues of the federal building that the United States attorney's office is con vinced of the justness of thit big suit, and it is considered doubtful if Olney't commands to dismiss would be obeyed. nuoreaarul Kaln Mnklug.
