The republican politicians OF this city had what is
called "ngh old time" OF II last evening II there
Is any body Of political tricksters In the Empire
state who have created more sensations TO keep
themselves alive than the gentlemen who assemble at
the headquarters OF Twenty street and
Broadway they are to say the least unknown to the
public The RAIDS, seeing that Tammany Hall was
altogether too much for them this time, determined.
as ls their wont when the sponge must be thrown
up TO create a sensation, and on this occasion the
sensation took the form OF split in the party-the
old sore that has been often used with great
eject for certain purposes. II IL no new

the opinions OF very many OF the leaders
OF the Tweny-second street organization, but
II IS rather novel to see the Tammany radicals

chairman, and he also on taking the chair made u
speech. In the meantime Sinclair Tousey was
TO order in the other hail. and John v. Gridley was
by universal accord chosen permanent chairman.
IL must be admitted that Mr. Grldley did not preside
over near so large meeting as did the enemy, Or
ing. Mr. Gridley announced that every district
In the city was more on less represented, except the
circumstance which t,ckled the delegates present
to cheers. Mr.. orton was at the time satIsfac-
