CONFERENCE WITH DANIEL 8. DICKINSON
MOVEMENTS OF THE REPUBLICANS.


The announcement in yesterdays HERALD that the
Hard Shell General Committee were about 70 dispense
with the primary elections this fall and nominate all the
candidates themselves, produced little excitement
among the politicians and office seekers who repaired in
great numbers to Suyvesan Institute last night to try
and influence the action Of the General Committee On
arriving a the Institute reporter found
hall and street. swarming with politicians, strikers and
oafers, highly excited aud venting loud anathemas on
the purposes Of the movement. SO high ran the
feeling that the proprietor Of the hall became alarmed
and sent for Of the Fifteenth police who re-
maned until the adjournment OF the committee to pre-
vent the politicians from indulging in tho rough and
tumble knock down and drag out congenial to their
tastes. Among the lobby members were Richard Con.
nelly, James Furey, Justice Connolly, Harry Howard
Hen lhos. Munday, six OF the candidates for
Coroner, besides host Of smaller Office holders and
Office seekers.
When 1t was announced that the committee had de.
termined to dispense with primary elections ana do the
nominating themselves the crowd separated very bad
humor This action Of the committee, it was argued
was most tyrnnncal and far exceeded the famous 9Th
Of Augu movement Of Dan Sickels In 1882 while the
members OF the committee In reply, stated II was the
only means they had left Of preserving their organixa
ton intact as the sotts and Custom House people
everything arranged to carry the primaries and fuse
which the Simon Pure hards would listen TO- and
hence their action.
The committee organized by Horace $. Clark Of the
Eighteenth ward being called the chair and John "
savage OF the Fifth ward and j. W Boyce Of the TWEEN
tieth ward acting as Secretaries. After the reading Of
the minutes the following read
