the movement for the meeting origin
ated with Morrissey and his associates,
with the object still further to foment
disturbances in the party which they

had a meeting. Nearly. all the leaders
F0f the recent movement against Tweed
and Tammany were present. A num-
Der of speeches were made accusing
their oppoaents OF being in league with
Superintendent Kennedy and the radi.
Gals. The session was quite stormy.
There was considerable wrangling
among the leaders, and the meeting
finally broke up without determining
upon anything.
The Worlds editorial of tomorrow
will say that the Young Democracy
count lS7 members Of the general
committee. 1t lost one only, who was
absent from his post. The ring, it
says, irretrieyably ruined itself, and
took refuge in an ignominious and cow
ardly fight. These ls7 men, being
majority of 81, unanimously passed
resolutions asserting the demands Of
The Young Democracy as to legislation;
declaring their contempt for the cow
ardly flight of the ring from vote /;
aud then peaeeably dispersed. Tho
Young Democracy have q majority in
the Tammany General Committee,
aud count thousands among the peo-
| pie to the rings ten. These two facts
insure the ultimate deliveranee Of New
York City and the State from the ring
corruption.
