A Tammany -Man's Outlook ; Tor Hi Carolina lotes. Correspondende of The Obsekver. Washington, Aug. 31. A Tarns' manyite office-holder was interview ed this noon on. the situation inlfew York. . J . , j. Observer How are things politis cal in your State? - Tammanyite, Oh, they are warm mg here going to be interest enough, you bet, long .before the con vention.';' y . . y Ob. Hill your favorite candidate for Governor? ; Tam. No. Hill is in, and he has pulled some ropes in two or three counties While he will make much show of fight, I think he will not get the nomination. .Ob. Now tell me what can the matter be, and who has the call if not Governor Hill. Tam. Just this: Hill has made some big mistakes in the short time he has held the office, one of them being the row over the census, matter in which he was entirely wrong. Then, he's not remarable for any thing. As to who will climb the gol den stairs and whose pole will reach the persimmon, as you . fellows down South say,- the first is easier as a conundrum than the last ;item of the specification. I'll : tell you what I think. I think tne fight at first is between Hill and Cooper, It may, and probably will, get so wai;m that both will be thrown over and another man "chosen. Who? Well, most like ly Flower, Whitney or Hewitt. All are better known and stronger than Cooper. The latter is better known as a city politician, in which capacK ty he has made some powerful ene mies.?. Abram S. Hewitt, has. figured in politics here and has not incurred sp much enmity. He is an able man, as everybody knows. Flower- is weighted down by his money. . Long ago he could have taken a more prom inent place in politics than he has, prominent as that has been, but peo ple said :' "Oh, he's a millionaire. All his sympathies will be with capital" contrary to the facts in his case, I assure you.- You ' know that was what defeated his . rising boom last year for President. Ob. But Whitney, do you think, it would do to make a hole in the Cabinet for success in' New , York, when some other candidate might answer? ?Vv';.vCh -X0y.y:'X . Tam. Can't say 7 as v to that. He is a serious possibiliy. He is a power in politics. He can carry the States as Flower undoubtedly can and as Hewitt Can. Ob. As to the Mugwumps? Tam. We've got to regain our lost Irish vote. While nothing in the way of a slap in the mouth must be given to theInde pendents, care ,must be taken that the best men should be nominated for keeping the old Democratic vote in tact. Some of the Mugwumps will vote with us anyhow. , Ob. Whom will the Republicans nominate for governor? Tam; Just there much my depend. Should they, nominate Evarts, and rally everybody to the standard, as now seems likely, it will become us to put i our strongest man in the field.; I do not ; say th ey will nominate Evarts, but at any rate they are do ing every thing; as you see by the pa pers, to unite . their -lately scattered forces.: They may succeed in hearty co operation of all .their factions. We must fall together likewise. . . Ob. If you do? . Tam If we do, there's no trouble. The State, I think, is reasonably saf e It will . be a very hard -and close struggle. The enemy, want to -show that the Administration is not popu lar "at home." They build hope upon the tight squeeze last . November. Now I think that: doesn't signify so much as might appear on the surface. A harmonious ; convention and a crackiip ticket & its logical result would defeat from the start : every expectation fthe;publicans . V The same gentleman;, who has had much to do in. past , years . with the party workings in .different ; States, said that he did not 4;hink the Demo crats would carry Ohio, though he hoped, of course, that Thurman would be elected Senator. His reas ons were (1) that , Ohio politicians wered "crooked"-, (2) that the Mc Lean -cro wd were out h with r Hoadly under the rose, and . meant to stab him in ; the dark as he believed they the partyilast fall,.; ; J y The investigations into the rascaN ities and J mismanagement of ; various bareaus shows that the administra tion is; in ; dead earnest. ..When 4 the xrhole cabinet' are collected in" a few days with the thoroughly rested. Pres ident : at the , head, we may look :l f or further developments. , The positive attitude of Comptroller ; Durham in the Alabama claims court matter is highly commended. The "special counsel," &c , "writhe like stricken serpents. - r " Women at Ilorse .Races. Brooklyn tlnlon. , " ' '? ' ' .Two-thirds of those who came in to the Brighton Beach track , the other day were w omen unaccompanied by gentlemen -- They were of all ages, from the blooming maiden of 16 to the gray -haired woman of unmen tionable age. .There was a blase Ap pearance about the most of them that induced reflection and led to observa tion. . Hany of them before entering the stand spent some time in the re freshmentroom,' where they drank beer and talked with jockeys,; getting tipsy. - Many of them were hand somely dressed, . while - others -were poorly ! attired. All were , feverish and excited, and talked horse , in a way that would have aroused the ad miration of a stable boy. - One woman of small stature, and evidently pos sessed of limited means, flitted ner vously ? about, now talking to one jockey and now to another, and then to some regular attendant at the track,; getting, points and discussing the merits of the horses. "Oh,". she said to a woman who was sitting near her, "if I could only get one winner today that paid large, I would be happy, ; All I want is . one." On an other corner two well-dressed women were talking to a homely negro, whose particular forte is hurdle rac ing. "You are sure," she was'saying, "that this, horse will win in this race, and this one in the'next?" "Sure as Gospel, , was the reply. v Another group consisted of . well-dressed women and a colored woman. The latter haa been to Monmouth Park and had lost, and she was ; saying : "I'se come heah to win." One of the white women suggested making up a purse with her for luck. . She. con sented nd jihey ,s niade up a purse, ' a strjking illustration of "the, fact that horse racing as well as politics makes strange bed fellows; In ohej corner of the grand stand sat a woman who was betting heavily. She was as ner vous as a person; with St. Vitus' dance. When she lost her face was a painful sight to witness, and when she won she was like a school girl. .'There is ho use talking," said an old and well known attendant at the race tracks. VI have watched it for a long time, and I tell you the race track is a thousand times worse for women than for men. , I have known respec table married women to come here when their, husbands knew' nothing about it, and in a short time become moral! wrecks. It is a fearfully de grading spot for women. They, cans not stand it. It is all right for a man to take his wife once in a while to a respectable track, - but when he lets her bet on the race he is leading her into a path which will end in his diss grace. IV Yes," said; another, "it is easily t brought about. A. woman comes here alone,; She bets her money on a horse and loses. She does not know what to do. Some fellow gives her money and helps her out. He meets her the next time Bhe comes and gives her points. After that Ke becomes a hero in her eyes, and then begins the old story. A track is not a fit place for a woman to attend alone, and when she begins to bet she hangs the 'first stone about her neck that drowns her. I am not a moral ist, and bet as: much on. races "as the a,verage man, but I would rather see my wife dead than to have her here mixing with" the crowd and betiing money when carried away by excite ment." - 1 - ' V . The Tower Armory, v With the, exception of the rifles ' in the armory, which will ' remain as one of the sights of the Tower of London, the whole of the " large store of arms which have been Jsept at the Tower will be removed to Weedon, the central depot of England.; The wish of the Prince Consort, who took a great interest in the Tower and de sired to have it preserved- purely as an ancient monument, regarding it as the oldest and 'most perfect Texam pie of. the Norman castle in existence, is therefore to be now . accomplished The Prince was, f shortly before his death in communication with the authorities of the .War Department with a view' to the removal of the barrack and hospital stores, the ac coutrements' $,ndarnisTwhich ; em ployed at the Tower more than 1,000 examiners and workmen, - and 1 de prived the establishment entirely of the Utilitarian features which exposed it to extra risk and a certain amount of wear and tear which It was: possis ble to avoid. In 1860 the barrack and hospital stores were - removed ? to Woolwich arsenal, together with most of the workpeople, and a few years afterward .' the accoutrements folio wedr leaving less than 100 men at the Tower to attend to the arms. These will now be taken to Weedon, and the Tower of London will remain only in use as a residence for ' the small garrison allotted to it, and as a sDectacle of unrivalled interest to the Uhousands of visitors who go to see the capital.
