Mr. Chairman and fellow ciiizeps-I congratulate you
this assembage here night It'll proud night for
this ancient and honored hall II ia proper this occa
sion that We should look back for moment to see what
history Of this old building and the people that
habit it, Nearly half century ago Tammaoy Hall
founded 1t has been the headquarters Of democratic po
tca ASSOCIATIONS from the date Of s foundation till the
present tme The and struggles IL has witnessed
may we'll be recoected During the darkest period
O. e the
forces and the bank in the field, Tammany by

cessor Tammany has stood by Polk it stood by Perce
stood by Buchanan-(cheers) land from the date Of
s foundation the present time it hls with the
democratic party, upheld the democratic banner, and
contributed largely and mainly TO democratic victories
And what may be said Of It's course n general politics

coniests Mr. Van Buren, then spoke Of the support
which TammaDy bad given TO distinguished Mayors from
Waller Bovine and stephen Allen 10 westervet. They

But the great and overrupg question be said, in

10 him WAS not necessary 10 sound his
praise, as that had been done by those who
politically opposed TO him. He then read extracts
rom republican papers endorsing Mr.. Havemeysr
honest, efficient, experienced man, who would do
honor TO the cce OF Mayor aud taking the ground that
municipal elections ought TO be conducted without refe
renee 10 party politics IL had been charged that Mr.
Havemeyer dictated 10 the Cnveniion but this he knew
to be false. To everybody who approached hm on the
subject he had but answer namely that he was
cann,date did not desire the Office and asked favor
that he should not be nominated But the Convection did
put him In nomination. associang with him the ticket
cahdatcs perfectly agreeable 10 him. and he accepted
it, (Applause) One other charge he would notice-or
he knew man bettcr--ihat Mr.. Havcmeyer was uni
