The Young Democracy Of the Nineteenth
Ward.
The young democracy OF the Nineteenth ward met
last evening In Brevoort Hail. Fifty fourth street. near
Third avenue, In the interests OF the O'Bren branch
OF the party. Mr.. Frank M. Bixpy occupied the
chair and on assuming his position briefly addressed
the meeting in opposition to the Sweeny Tweed
dynasty, which, he said, had obtained control
through the purchase OF republican members OF the
dressed the meeting. and asserted that Tweed and
Sweeny were governing the party for the benefit
OF ethemselves and their families, and to this
and were allying themselves with the republicans
ana selling out the interests OF the democratic
party Henry l.. Clinton followed in q similar
strain. When the democratic party won the vic.
tory In the last election, he said 1t was expected
that every remnant Of republican rule would be
wiped out Yet It was not So The new charter
passed for this city was Infinitely worse than that
proposed by Frear and was only carried through by
she purchased votes OF republicans. Tue only
charge which Tweed could bring against Sherif
OBrien was that he (Tweed) had offered O'Brien
5000 to carry through the charter which OBrien
refused, at the same tlme expressing the
opinion that It would be carried through
without the use OF any money. The
charter which had passed was carried through, he
asserted, by bribery OF the republican members.
Whatever want OF reputation Tweed might have for
craftsmanship he made up In financial ability.
After referring In somewhat uncOmpiment ntary
terms to the closing Of Tammany Hall against the
criticism OF the young democracy be concluded by
urging those present to vote the coming election
for true democrats and against those anillating
with the republicans. After adopting series OF by.
laws and resolutions complimentary to Sheriff
O'Brien the meeting adjourned
