Final Organization Of tho socjety-Ths
ChHrter--IIeavy Debates.
The delegates OF the Hlldise Bund had a meet
ing yesterday afternoon, which was pro.
uacted until late in the evening. The object
was the final organization of the society.
Unfortunately however, this was but partially
accomplished, there being such diversity OF
opinion and such firm determination to resist that
1t was thought expedient to adjourn. Among the
officers elected were Mr.. John ii. Biehllng, presi.
dent; Mr.. William Holdtmann, first vice president;
Nh. Duerschtedt second vice president, ana Mr..
Despite, third vice president. 1. Amuel was re-
e ected recording secretary; Mr. B. NJ. Zehden cor
responding secretary, aud Mr. Rudolph Kieson,
financial secretary.
Quite debate sprang up on the election OF a
treasurer 1t being nJmatcd tnat the man who is to
be chosen was bound 10 give security to the extent
OF S5,ooo Tue choice fell upon Mr.. Theopald
Frohwein, President OF the New Amsterdam Savings
Bank. During the vote there was great hubbub.
The opponent OF the successful candidate had
but eleven votes ard While his name was
called by the tciers, the meeting began to count
"fiven 'siX,o 'seven,n and the chairman ham
icied and cried, eve are not boys" One men,
Der moved TO have police committee appointed
but this DID not pass. When the vote for treasurer
was finally announced and Mr.. FTohwcin was de-
clared elected, there was general rejoicing ana oil
secinedto be satisfied.
The great debate was on the proposition to 90 into
the election Tor The board OF trustees. 1t was IN
sisted by some that the charter, In which the cor
poration are named as trustees, had precluded the
society ron eeetng any other persons IN the place
OF those 30 named. Messrs BucnsweileT,

commander-in-chief Of the Tammany democracy
that any further reference to him than the mere
announcement OF his appointment TO the respon.
sible once Of Commissioner OF Public Works seems
almost unnecessary. He was born in tnis city on

graduated, and after studying law was admitted

School Commissioner Of the Seventh ward (ls56-57).
In 1868 lie was elected Supervisor OF New

siderable influence, and In this city possesses pro-
baby more political power than any other lnan ex-
cepting MT. Sweeny. The desperate effort 10
