gone forth: m lr
The meeting was called to order by Thomas Murphy,
Chairman In the absence of the regular Secretaries,
Messr Smith and Costa elected temporary Secre
ares After transacting routine business, the fol-
lowing resolutions adopted:
Whereas The members Of the Union General Commit
tee elected for the period OF year from jan
1866, and Whereas, the State Convention has right or
authority and the members thereof were not elected by
authority 70 abolish the Union General Committee OF
whereas The said Union Committee has not, by any
formal VOTE given up or abandoned its organization;
ReSoired That the Union General Committee OF New
York repudates the action OF the State Convention
aboshng the County organization and Will continue TO
regular Union organization OF New-York.
Resored That this action or the State Conventlon is u
paraleed and UNJUST and mainly had In the interest
old organlzation.

We trust that this Union General Committee viii keep
up the farce OF organization to the latest moment but
every man of them will vote the regular Copperhead
ticket when he goes the polls The total strength Of
the organization not half the number OF Federal oice
holders in city and the vote Of Gov Fenton and the
Republican ticket will be signaly strengthened by their
opposition. The indignation aroused by their swindng
performance OF Saturday night with it's fitting garnature
OF rufansm and felony will add thousand votes to the
Syracuse ticket. And entreat the new General

This article tells the whole story. The State Con
vention was insultingy repudiated its authority
denied, and Weeds machine put in running order. r
The advice Of THE TRIBUNE was taken. The
Radical Committee took new headquarters, and con-
Quoted the canvass earnestly Frauds, bitter Opp9si
tion TO the Excise and Health Commissions and the
moneys disbursed by the Federal olceholders, col
lected by them from the various departments
swelled fearfully the Democratic majority but they
gave to our esteemed and honored Governor 334T
votes. .t.. r
The Weed Committee exacted from the Demo-
cratic Committee of the city, part of the price
of their treachery that they should aid them in tho
V'vx-oS ola oil
each year in this city No elector is permitted to
vote for but one. The one receiving the next
highest number of votes is chosen as well as the one
receiving the highest. This was so arranged with
intent that the Board Of Supervisors might be equally
balanced. ...r
The Radical County Convention of 1SGG nominated
the gallant and popular Major Gen. ALEXANDER
SHAIHR for Supervisor. The Conservatives, through
Weed, obtained from the Democrats pledge that
certain portion of Democratic tickets should be made
ND with Conservative Joseph Il. Taylor upon
them and thus expected TO elect him over the Radi
cal candidate and clutch the Board, the Democrats
being twothrds of the voters and able TO spare the
votes and at the same time elect their own man. Tho
Democrats faithfully fulfilled their part of the bar
gain but Weed, poweress and decayed, failed to
come to time An inspection of the vote shows tho
strength of the Weed faction Major-Gcn Shaler
received S2.9i7 votes Five hundred and forty-fvo
Conservative Republicans in the whole city all
that voted for Gov Fcnton and Joseph b. Taylor.
Gen Shaer was elected, receiving las abOye within
a few hundred of the whole Republican strength.
To show the coalition of Weed with the Democrats
and that Taylor received but 5ij Weed votes and the
balance Democratic, take the following comparison
of votes for Fenton, Hoffman, Shaler, Taylor, and
Hermann, 1.-THE Democratic candidate for Super
visor:
Wards. Penton. Shsler. Hoffman Hermann. Taylor.
