Rescued from the Ring.—In New York, "a body of 205
politicians known from their place of meeting [Tammany
Hall] by the name of the Tammany Democrats, had for some
time past usurped the control of both municipal and state
elections; and a " Ring," or self-chosen Committee, of these
men of dubious character and low connections, had gradu-
on the shores of Lake Michigan. "The accident | ally got into their hands the absolute direction of public
which was at first alleged as the cause of the fire, was the
upsetting of a kerosene lamp in a wooden barn by the kick
of a cow. This fact was afterwards disputed." (Annual

lation, was said to have been signed by certain Conserva-
tive peers on the one hand, and certain representative
working men on the other, through the mediation of Mr.
Scott Russell, the eminent engineer. The scheme of
this new " Social Alliance" was involved in much mystifi-
cation—several of the Conservative peers denied that they
had signed the document—and seems to have ended in
nothing. Mr. Gladstone referred to this "Alliance" in
his Blackheath speech.
