Greate st Political Organization
in the World Swamped.
ALL OF HER PATRONAGE GONE.
It l* Probably* That a Reorganization Will
He Made, but on a New Policy and ru
der New Methods — Kluffh ,1. Grant In
the Man Who It Expected to Take
the Lead.
New York. Nov. 10.—Tammany of
ficeholders are already ou the lookout
for other employment. They regard it
as a settled thing that the legislature
•will give Mayor Strong the power to
make a clean sweep of the municiple
offices, and they have no doubt that he
will use the power to the fullest extent,
so those of them who have not grown
rich in the service of the city are con
sidering how they can earn their living.
Political control of the board of al
dermen is in doubt and the official can
vass of the vote will be necessary to
settle the question, so far as it can be
settled on the face of the returns,
and after that it is probable that the
court will be asked to settle the contest
in two or three districts. The president
of the board votes on all questions, so
that there are 31 voting members in the
board.
Besides having a member of the sink
ing fund commission, who next year
will hold the balance of power in the
commission, there are two reasons why
the coutest for control of the board is
of more than ordinary importance. The
aldermen elect will hold office for three
years unless legislated out, which is not
considered probable. The constitutional
amendments having been adopted, the
new board will .also reapportion the as
sembly districts of the city. If the
mayor’s power of removal bill goes
throngh Tammany, it will not only lose
its hold on all the city departments ex
cept the finance department, but it will
also lose its control of the board which
direct the expenditure of the city’s
money, thus leaving every Tammany
officeholder outside the comptroller’s
office at the mercy of t-h- incoming ad
ministration.
As a consequence, nearly all the men
in Tammany hall who hold city offices
are without, any assurance that they
will be drawing a dollar from the city
next year. In the event of the passage
of the mayor’s power of removal bill,
the board of estimates and apportion
ment would be against Tammany, the '
sinking fund commission the,same, and i
the board of street opening and ira- j
provement three to two against Ta i- ■
many. These are tlie important boards !
which transact the city's business. If
the mayor’s power of removal bill is no* :
j passed, Tammany will retain <• intro; >■>*•
the boarii of estimates and the board o;
| street openings and improvement. , I
At present, it seems certain that the
I anti-Tammany men will organize the
! boards and have the chairman of the
' finance committee, who, with Mayor
j Strong and Recorder Goff, will consti-
I tut-e a majority of the sinking fund
| commission. If the power of removal
| bill includes the police justices, theonly
Tammany men in the city who may re
tain office in Colonel Strong’s adminis
tration are the comptroller and his as
sistants, the Tammany civil district
judges, the judges of the higher courts
elected by Tammany, and some other
court officials.
Tammany is defeated, but not dis
rupted; and before the echoes of Tues
day’s avalanche have died away, there
will be a movement on foot to reorgan
ize the braves under new leadership,
and with a new policy which will be
a radical departure from the old meth
ods.
It is probable that a reorganization
will be proposed at the next meeting of
the executive committee, and it is cer
tain that by the time the annual prima
ry is held late in December plans will
be perfected and carried out. Mayor
Gilroy, the present recognized head of
the organization it is understood, will ' „; c * headaohe3 yleld ^ it8 i D fl uance .
not take the leadership when his term' w „ ,
of office expires. No man m Tammany

CURE FOR BEADACHF.
j A* a remedy for all formi of Head
ache Electric Bitters has proved to be
J the very best. It effects a permanent
oure and the most dreadful habitual
hall, so say those who know the inside,
ever had a stronger personal following
than ex-Mr.yor Hugh J. Grant. The
plans for reorganization are to be radi
cally carried out. Some of the men who
have been captains and generals will go
back to the ranks or get ont.
It is already apparent that many men
in the organization are looking to Grant
to reorganize Tammany.
DISGUSTED WOMEN.
They Soon Got Enough of Voting in Chi
cago and Will Ouit.
Chicago, Nov 10.—Of the 35,000
Chicago women who registered, not
over S,00G voted. Of these 8,000, not
less than 5,006 were disgusted with the
experience, and they will never vote
again. What might be termed the
••silk stocking” element registered with
a mighty flourish of trumpets, but it
quailed when the hour for voting ar
rived. The polls were uninviting, and
the judges and clerks were inclined to
grow hilarious at the appearance of the
women.
We urge all who are tfflicted to procure

OUTOBER’S FINE WEATHER DID IT.
The- Otla*r 1'r.iv li ifhn f ormerly Noted
Were Overrnuitt Uy These Favorable
Conditions for (fathering—The Crop It
Now Well l’p iu Harrenting—How the
States M*nil in Percentage*.
Washington, Nov. 10.—The cotton
returns of the department of agricul
ture for the month of November, show
an improvement of prospects as com
pared with the returns of last month.
This is due to better weather, and is es
pecially noticeable in the states of Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana aud Texas.
Faborable weather, besides iinprov*
crops, has greatly facilitated picking.
In Alabama the crop ha.-5 been nearly
all secured and much of it sold. In
Mississippi many counties report pie-t
ing as closed and considerable improve
ment in the crop over the indications of
October.
The average estimate for the state of
Louisiana is reported as raised because
of favorable weather for picking dur
ing October. The crop in Texas main
tains the high average formerly indicat
ed. The weather has been quite favor- I
able for picking and nearly three-fourths
of the crop has been gathered. Great
er dispatch has been noted in harvest
ing the’crop than in any former year
and it has also been marketed iu large
quantities.
The injuries to the crop in some parts
of the state from excessive moisture,
causing rust and rotting of the bolls,
hast been more than counter balanced
by the favorable conditions that existed
in other parts for the maturing top
orop and for picking.
No great damage from frost has been
reported.
In Arkausas the weather also has
been favorable for gathering. The in
creased product of that state, as com
pared with last year, is due to the fact
that much laud that was overflowed in
1883 was planted to cotton this year.
The indications of the average yield
per acre for the entire cotton belt is
IS1.7 pounds, distributed by states as
follows:
North Carolina, 210; South Carolina,
108; Georgia, 155; Florida, 110; Ala
bama, 160; Mississippi, 195; Louisiana,
230; Texas, 235; Aarkansas, 203; Ten
nessee, 157. All other states and terri
tories,. 200.

Chairman Babcock, Washington:
The fight Is about over. The Democrats
