The Delavan Committee did not meet according TO
adjournment, last evening account OF the action oil
the sscherns, but the Softs and Hards will all be on
band this evening to submit their clnms before the
Sachems Of the party, who announce their In
sention of making strict investigation into the certh
Gates which will be laid before them, and come TO
some definite conclusion as to the merits OF the cen
tested seats
The notice which had been issued by the officers OF
the Young Mems General Committee Tor 1892, iora
meeting Of their successors last evening proved TO be
prcmature ms tho Hall cannot be had before Friday
evening" for the organization Of any political Commit
zee a. such.
We have thus given succinct an account as posi-
bic Of the present state Of affairs at Tammany Moth
ing additional will be known before this evening
Tammany was crowded last evening with contestants
for seats In the Old and Young Mems Committees &C
sompspied of course with their friends and advocates
The certificates afhdavts, &c Capt Rynders har-
sngued the crowd for q short time on the honor and
moral honesty of certain Hard Shells who had not only
defrauded him. but several Of hsf friends Hecould place
no further confidence In them men. lie denied that
be was Bsrnburner" az had been studiDusly repre-
sented He hod voted for but Of that school
Of politicians and that one Ike Fowler personal
friend. Unless the Barnburners repented he would
eever vote for another To be sure, John Van Buren,
had rendered him many SERVES, for which he was Z
iremely thankful bu, John did require OF him
sacrifice of his bunker principles. The Captain
claimed that he was Of the first IIunkors Ia this
City, which be would prove by the resolutions
whose adoption he had secured at various meetings
Tie had also voted against the claims OF John Van Blu
rem to seat in the Democratic State Conve alton, al
though he had no doubt in his mind that Prince John
wa the choice of great majority of the people of the
Fifteenth Ward But 10 spite of the Captains effcrts
John wss tina, year admitted to his seat, Capt r. did
NOT view Mr.. V. B. as Of his kind Of Democrats
although capital fellow.
The evening was thus devoted 20 barroom har.
sngues on National and Ward pstcs, and in vindica-
fon OF the binding efficacy Of aitachmen. to regular
nominations" a. the only safe requisite for "reabe
Democracy" It was more than insinuated that there
was much bad faith last fall in this respect, that tho
soi Shells had been unfairly doalt with by their Hard
associates and that Hard Shells had experienced much
Insltreament from Sofs. In fact IL was loudly pro.
claimed thai many OF the magnates of the party had
scratched regular nominees and voted directly ndi
yectly for Wings. The lie generally given to this
monstrous charge But the friends OF Bob Dillon
and others had abundance Of proof which they would
furnish Through the interference OF the friends Of
the parties who made these fearful disclosures several
fights were prevented. At late hour Tanmany and
the Pewter Mug were quiet.

accused had participated in the disgracel rio, and had
acted In concert aud with generalization. The assault
upon Mr.. sehel was perpe,rated in the Committee
Room, but no one knew by whom the blow was given
which rendered him senseless bur as all the accused
were seen rushing into the ro.m uttering cries of
threats might be fairly presumed tina, Of their
number was the assailsnt Mr. Hall desired the jury
not TO take this aray of those which are always
taxing place In the course of great political struggles
