instead OF 80 TO the Tammany ticket last elect
To prevent the ward beiaI lost to Tammany, IL is
believed IL should be thoroughly reorganzed.
These feelings culminated i'll large ana enthusf-
astc meeting or Tammany democrats at Washing

Jerome Buck addressed the meeting In eloquent
and forcIble language on the Unsatisfactory condi-
tton or the ward. which laid 1t open
70 the reproach OF their fellsw democrats. He
said every democrat was fully aware OF the
perndy Of the men now directing the affairs OF the
ward, and urged that those iecreants be displaced
and the ward organized under men who could be re-
