Tammany Hall Ward Committee, last evening at
Washington Hall, Eighth avenue, between Forty
seventh and Forty-eghth streets. Mr.. Daniel Brady
presided, and having called the meeting to order,
stated that this was the Inauguration meeting Of the
Twenty-second ward. They had been assembled for
the purpose OF interchange OF views, In order the
more thoroughly to prepare FOR the approaching
campaign.
Mr.. NJ. CONNOLLY having been introduced to tho
meeting, delivered a brief address, II the
course Of which he urged the great neces-
sty OF harmonious action on the part
OF the residents OF the ward. He dwealt partlcu-.
larry upon the Importance Of eecting to ONCE fear
less and independent men whose deeds would be
characterized by fathfuness and whose entire ener
gies would be devoted to the conscientious perform
ance OF their duty towards the public. Mr.. Connolly
commented severely upon the administration az
Albany, and he hoped the time fast approaching
when the so-called commissions and investigating
committees would be completely annihiated. Having
dated at some further length upon the questions at
ISSUE the speaker concluded by drawing attention
TO the TACT that the elections were not lar or and
that no exerlion should be spared In securing and
supporting the proper parties to represent the demo-
crdcy
Alter some remarks from Mr. SAENaER, who FOL.
lowed IN the same strain as the previous speaker,
Mr.. JEROME BUCK addressed the meeting. lie hoped
that thoroughly united and totally disregarding all
prejudices and lactious differences, the Twenty
second ward would sustain its former reputation.
He pointed out the virtue OF combined and deter
lor the comMoa good, tins ward would fan hluiy do
us duty. Mr.. Buck VINO was followed by Mr. Cos
qualities OF Mr. Connolly.
Mr.. I. Q. FIELDS then spoke at considerable
length referring chiefly TO the issues OF the day and
contrasting the positions which the republican aud
democratic paroles held before the country. During
The month OF October there We're elections 10 two %
the most important States OF the Union--in Onio
and Pennsylvania. 1t was hoped and be-
leyed that tpe democratic patty would pe

tAppause' After reviewing the action the repup-
lican party and advern9 TO the oppressive tar1 now
demanded the speaker proceeded to state that 1t be-
the duty OF the voters OF tine wenty ward
TO harmonic their movements IN the coming cam
paign and give no encouragement 10 the candidates
OF split party or the representative Of any factouS
ORGANIZATION. There was more to contend against
III the approaching election than at any previous
one, since federal patronage was largely dispensed
through the city, and nothing would be spared to
counteract the influences OF the democratic party.
He besought those present to discard all personal
1eeling OIL the ground that the public good was at
stake.
At this stage a husky voice issued from the assem-
blage, and from what could be learned from the
mutied sound 1t would appear that the owner OF the
voice was deslrous OF hearing something upon labor
movements. "Wnat about the Workngman, en- ~
.'Give blast on the work'l-tcrles OF 'shut up'

accordingly.
The speaker continued to state that he himself had
some time ago performed a harder days work OF
manual labor than any man who heard his voice and
he therefore knew something OF the workingman-
"a voice. ''bully boY'i Now, so far as he was con-
cerned, he mad always endeayored to employ 10
many he could the Park ana would strive to do
so IN future he mad always advocated short hours

A resolution was then adopted to the effect that
the democratic electors of the Twenty second ward
endorse the platforms and resolutions as pSomal-
gated at the recent convention at syracuse and nat
tney pledge their earnest and undivided support Of
the candidates.
Mr.. Connolly having delivered brief address the
meeting adjourned.
