Tammany Hall is uslng every efTort to secure tbe solid vote of the liquor-sellcrs of New-York for its candidates. Seriously alarmed at the growing srrengtu of tho Union tickct, which is gnining support in the mo6t impressive manncr daily, the Tammany leaders are resortlng to every device tliat dcsperatlon can suggest. to save their ?foitune*. It is elcar that some of these leoders have made tbe most disgraccful and corrupt oasumnecs to the Hquor-dealers that viol.tions of the Excise law shall l>e trcated with even more leniency in the future than they have lieen in the past, if thc kcepers of the dram-shops will give all the votes that they can muster to thc Tammany candidates.

A report was made at the meeting from a com? mittee which had been enipowercd to confer with Taiiiinany leadcrs coi.evrning tbe attiludc of Tammany llall toward 1hc liijimr-deal -rs. Fer sons who wcrc present at. the uieeting asseit thnt the cointnittee reportcd that its members had fouud the Tammany leadcrs willing to give ijbe most swoeping asaurancea that if thc Taminany tioket should be elected the DLstrict-Attf.rney's .fHeo would proteet the iutercst* of tbe li'iuor de;.lers. Oi course this " protection of their Int4*r88ts" really meant that violations of the Ex Ci? law v >uld be allowed to go on unheedod i unpunished. It was otwrtcd by the committee ' .1 rbtar pledges were ao strong and came from aaJtBaih <:?'?? rtcra ln Tammany llall tliat, tlie Jiquor dealers c'ould feel assutvd that the pledges would bc kept. It is even asscrted that tlre committee declared further tlint the Tammany leadcrs had promised that if the T.n.many candidates were elected. ex-Judgc Cunning S.

Sotue of the dclegatcs pn-scnt were oppisscd to Tummany and protcsted BgaJnat thc adoption of this motfon. After a pr,> longed and s .n.cwl.at, bitter and pcrvmul dehnte the motion to support thc Tammany caudidatcs Was ail..pt -d. Since this meeting of thc eentral body of Uqttor sellers, the papers <-f the city that are fricn.lly tu Tammany have printrd reporta of a aumltrr ,,1 tueetinjfs of district aaaociationa ?f Uqitor-sellers Which bave decided by loriual resolutioas to stip poit tiic Tammany ticket, and espcciallg De l.aii.ey Nicoll.

NO TEMFTATION TO REMAIN OLT-DOORS. THE WHOLE ATLANTIC COAST V1SITED BY A BOISTEROUS STORM-IT MAY COX TINUE TO-DAY. New-York and tbo people who live ln lt bave long been Inured to almost all the varletles of atmosptterlc condltlon conrelvable. Yet, of all the damp. raw, lumbago breedliig days evcr esperlenced ln this elty yesterday wlll probably be regarded aa one of the worst. In the eold, bracln, wlnds and clear skles of Tuesaay and Wednesday there was no apparent warnlng of tho mNerles ln store on tho followlng day and people felt sure that they were going to have an agroeable fall. They wcro not so gure yesterday when they made their way out Into the strects and found themsclvcs ln a drlvlng rain tliat peltod ttiem fr?m all dlrections?a damp, raw, chllllng atmo9phere and a northeast wind laden Wlth rheumatlwn and pneumonla, and seemlng ln the stroeta to blow from every polnt of the compa.s at one. As usual, when wlnd and raln form themsclves into a trust and proeeed to " run" the city, the only way of agoldlng dJacomfort waa to .tay lndoors. Thoso wlio were able to do this did so; those wha were not 6truggled ln mud and water Uirough the atreota and hoped for nothlhg worse than a drenchlng. Yet the ralnfall was not by any means heavy, the total record for the day not reaching an Inrh. The storm wns part of tlie cyclonlc dlsturhanco whlrh has hung over the Oulf States durlng the last two days, gatherlng strcngth as lt moved northward. Over the South Atlantic States the storm dlvlded, one part pa-s.lng Into the Ohlo Vallcy, whlle the other moved eastward to the Atlantic oast.

CHAIBMAN FLOWEE OETS $300,000 FBOlf * THE IMPOETEBS. A TAI.R WITH MR. CLARKSON-THE DEMOCRATg BEATEN AND _ BOODLE'' NOW THEIR OBL.Y. HOPE-HOW THE M'RINLEY BILIi BENEFITS THE PEOPLE. [BT TELEGBAPII TO T1IK TkincNf.1 Wasbington, D. C, Oct. 2.'I.-There is no doubf that the Dcmoerats are frightened about tbe situa tiojn in the West. They bardly know what to make of it. They were so cock-sure that tha bottfim was going to tumble right out of the Kepublican campaign in crcry Cnmrrcasional dbv tricf west of the Alleghenii*. that they made pmcfically no prcparation for a conflict such aa Speaker Reed. Mr. McKinley. Mr. Cannon, Got cinor Gear, .Mcssrs. Henderson, Purrows aud othere .have precipitatcd. Chairman Flower. it is true, did drnw on hls great Ixinking botise in Wall-st. for enougb money to prlnt bis astonihhlng antt silver speeeh. which, with great sagacity he haa beon industriously clrculating rn Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, Montana and other silver-loving com munitiCA, He nlso printod his friend Amos Cum mlngs's roaring attack on the Speaker, and Sena tor Oarlisle's philosophical thesis showing that Moscs and Julliis Caesnr were both free traders. Tlien he BBt d >wn among his gold bags, with a complacent smile upon his cheruhie, face, satisfled that the Ik.urbon shotgun nnd the lie about the high pricea would do all the rest. But some thing has shaken him up at a great rnte, nnd for thc past four dajrb hc has been hustling arotind New-York "pulling thc legs"1 of the importer* viciouslj*. A promlnent Dcmocratic manager, who lcceps a sharp lookout for sueh proceedings, and who at* ways boba up when Deniocratie, "boodle" is being put ont, was in at Chaniliorliirs last night. Aftcr ctirsing the McKinley bill for raising the taritt on the c.hampagne he was drinking, he gave some hints of Flower's success at uioney-nising. Tlie net restilt of this ciiiining ehap's ronfession was that tjtrioo.ooo had Itccn r.iiscd. Whcn it was snggested that this wus a good deal of mone.\t for the itnportere to put up, hc rcplied. with a know ing wink, that he gucssed "thcy'd gct it back from thc people on the other side.'' " It's a whole lot chcaiier." he ndded, " to pay our cam? paign expenscs tJian to pay those Republican tarifT duties.-' And he is no dotibt right about tlnt. Whcn this eonversation at Chamberlin's got to Mr. C'larkson's cars. he remnrked that he did not need such evidence to prove that a big Deniocratie corruptimi fund ba<l suddenly 008B8 into exist cnee. " I don't know who?raised it or from whnm it wa? obtained." Continiied Mr. Clarkson. "but I bave beard it drop a deatfl times witbia thc laat twci.ty-four hours. As things stand to-day, the Demnerats are heaten, and they know it. Their only bope is to s:iil right in with their money. There is aot a larae parehaaahle vota in this eountry outside ol New-York City. dn the c.n trary, it is wonderftilly small. Hut the majorities eithcr way are also very small iu many Coagrea* sional districts. Forty-two men sat in the last Con grcss on majorities of less tlnu 1.000 in a total vote per district of about 3.1,000. So that bribery can alleet the result materially if a party is willing to employ that kind of method. Tliio Dcmoerats are now putting out a great deal of money. They arc showing signs of a nenvly awakened aCtlvity. They realize that their dastardly conspiracy to crea'e an aitificial nse in prioes has nn>. rably fniled; and that, aa the Westeru people licgin to appreciate the n?-w Taii.r bill, they s?-e that it will operate quiekly and imruensely to their inforcot. " WTby, JBSt see what if does," Mr. Clarkson exelainied, waruil.v. " It rediu^s dirc.-t t.ixaiion to liie amount ol' $75,000,000, and th,- |K*..ple who are thus rclicvod arc tlu- poor pcple, aud, most of all, the Westeni lurmcrs. lu.Uvd, u tioea more tluin that. If experience is a |[Oud t.-aeher, tlie net cilect of the McKinley bill will he this: Uy its lower duties on goods not lai.ely pro dueed in this eountry, aod by it?? a iditioiis t<< Ihe free list, it will n-uut, to fl,e people about $115, 000,000 whicli la.st y,.'ii v.cie p.i.il into tiic pubiio rreu|sury.
