CAPTAIN RiEDEKs then took his stand and thanked
the meeting for the Kind reception which they had
given him but for the present he said he would de-
cline speaking He would give few reasons for de-
clinipg sucha would satisfy those present he had
doubt. He understood there were some distinguished
strangers present, who invited to address the
meeting this evening, and he would be wanting, in
courtesy to them, well violating the rights Of
haspitaty to thrust himself forward and speak before
them.
The speaker was about to retire, when Mr. O'Co-
faid he had the stand
CAPTAIS RYSDEss then went on, and said he trusted
be would be allowed TO make brief explanation in
regard the position which he in az the meeting
Hewould not detain them long for il would take him
only few minutes TO let of all the steam he held on
the subject The fact is he said, he would not have

the committee room 10 ostracize him on mistaken
state OF facts but explanation bad been made and all
Is we'll He then spoke at length about the divisions
that have existed in the party Both factions COM
mtted errors he himself did.
The speaker interrupted at this point by strug
gle between Charley Bartlett and iom O'Donnell,
which promised to result In ger neral rev, but it was
settled without even bloody nose Captain Rynders
continued for lew minutes longer, and was fsi-
lowed by
MIR. SiRAHAN, who, after hoping that the whlg organs
would not have an opportunity OF saying that Tam
many Hail. On tbis OCCASION presented scene of riot
or disturbance proceeded to detail the circustan
connected with the division in the democratic ranks,
and also those Of the union going the ground OF
the several conventions at Rome, utca Syracuse 60
bringing things down to the nomination Of
at the present time. There were men nominated, he
said the democratic ticket who have been for long
time aliens to Tammsny Hall, but the fact of their
having been selected by the Democratic Nominating
Convention, makes 1t Incumbent on ali democrats TO
support them. To elect the union Is necessary and
without such union, defeat Is what Will
be the result refuse to sustain those nominations!
Why, will contribute to the election OF the wings.
In conclusion he said it is Of the highest Importance
to the interests Of the city and county Of New ork
that the party now In power should be displaced They
deserve 1t for their management Of the Aston place
riot for their Of the public moneys and for their
ohsr misdeeds in various ways. How is IL that those
who signed the Aacready card we're not indicted! Why
is it that, but With one or two exceptions the whole
Sunday press Of New York supported the authorities
in the which they took in that riot! 1t be-
cause twothirds OF the editors Of that press Eng
isbmen, and hence they supported the cause Of the
English actor. After a few words more he sat down,
and amid cries for CanbreleDg and others to address
the meeting,
MIR. CHinLrs O'CoroR got PUP and read letter,
which had been rent by Mr. Forney OF Philadelphia, to
the committee, In answer to an invitation TO him to
come to New York and address the meeting. Mr..
Forney's engagements would not admit Of accepting
the invitation but he hoped.tbat the Empire State
would follow Pennsy in the work of redemp
and regeneration. The eyes Of the whole country

demnation Of the tricksters at WASHINGTON
Mr. ScHSABrL, of Philadelp hia, then introduced
to the meeting lie said that the first time that he
ever had the pleasure OF being in Tsmmany Hall, and
1t was great fatisfac to be present at this time,
because he learned the democracy OF New York were
about TO do What will compensate them for the many
State. But he did not feel il he stranger in
Old Tammany. (Applause) The cause which the
democracy Of the whole Union stand pledged to sup.
port lie OF such character to be for the interests Of
the country from the fact that the party uphods prin
ciplss and the benefits of which all shdd
joys while the wings the other hand maintain prin-
ciples and measures which intended for tne ad-
vantage Of the few TO the prejudice Of the many They
want some king or other either bank king a money
power, high tariff kiDg-at all events, some power
greater than that OF the people whg President has
