and emissaries through the loyal States and TO
Europe. In short, the Convention rallied at the
Government in the temper and almost in the
very words of the traitor Breckenridge when
he was drawing money from the Federal
Treasury and doing the work Of JEFF. Davis.
The Republicans the next week nominated
ticket composed in good part of eminent Demo-
Gratis and placed it on a National Platform.
Fernando Wood and his Nozariers generally
supported that Union ticket; but Tammany
Hall polled its every vote against it, and for
that which stood on the above most mischieyous
and dsloya resolution. Tamlnany illustrated its
devotion to party by nominating and electDg
Henry Genet County Clerk over Joseph HOxie.
So Mr. Hoxie goes in 10 help the Tammany
leaders elect one of their number Mayor over
George Opdyke!
Mr.. Hoxie knows how consistently Tammany
has refused to support any Republican for any
office whatever. They were ready to cOalesce
with us in 81 to beat Wood but the candidate
must be Democrat: so they had their own
way and we elected their man. He treated US
like the poorest of poor relations; and, when
we demonstrated, we were told that We had no
right TO expect him to act in the Mayors chair
to which we had elected him otherwise than az
Democrat and partisan Cool, wasn't 1t
In 80 we had another Mayor TO elect and
were offered some choice among Temmany
Democrats, but no Republican could get
Tammany vote They wanted badly to beat
Wood but not badly enough to vote for Re
publican. SO we each ran our own man, and
they got away enough votes on the no-party
cry of "any way to beat Wood to defeat us
and let Wood in again. That time, however.
by some great good luck, they didn't get away
Joe Hoxie. Then he went for Opdyke Ike a
man.
This year, il was the old story. ." Let US
unite and beat Wood; but We can't vote for
any Republican" The Republicans felt this
as fresh and aggravated insult. We tried to
have them negotiate with Temmany, if for no
other purpose than to exhibit the unfairness OF
that rotten concern, but they wouldn't hear US.
" What is the use in appointing Committee
" of Conference if we are to give all and
" take nothingl If we begin by agreeing not
" to urge Republican for Mayor, what piles
" of dirt must we not eat before we finish
" Move take our stand right here" So an
swered the great body Of the Republicans to
our pleas for conference and negotiation, and
thev were right. We have done hewing wood
and drawing water for Tammany-that Is, all
Of us but our old friend Joe. And we state il
as q truth which no nan can gainsay, that
Fernando Wood, with all bis sins, has at times
eyinced magnanimily and freedom from groyel
ing partisansbip which has found no parallel i'll
Tammany Hall.
Mr.. Hoyis would have il believed that party
has nothing to do with this contest for Mayor.
Let US call his attention to one significant
fact. Nr. Opdy ke's name was used, without
Presidents of the recent meeting to listen. TO
Senator Summers Address on 1.-The Rebellion:
Its Origin and handspring" Along side
Of bis name in the programme Of the meeting
wers placed the names of two or three Radical
Abolltionists, not one Of whom ever voted for
Mr.. Opdyke, nor ever will. And yet-thoush
Mr. OPdyke was not at the meeting, and did
not know that his name was used or was to
be-he is assailed by Mr.. fIoxie's present
political associates in such terms as the fol-
lowing:
