himself and friends as one Of defeat In consequences
OF the introduction Of Tammany's withdrawal OF the
reception accorded 10 the document and OF the
luton which followed Immediately excluding all dele

any reouke to the united reform democrats any
manner sighting them. Nor would he do the Con-

It would be very difficult for the Convention to
acquired the prestige or regularity" whicn Tam
many has held for years past But the action OF the
Convention to day lie considered placed the reform
ers in a most promising position. Whatever Of
triumph has been secured by any party claiming TO
to the reform dr Delegations They lad triumphed BY
beng heard In vindication OF their rights, while
Tammany came with lowered head and quiver,ng
lip, having neither right nor reputation TO entltle
them to q hearing. The resormers were able man
fully to look the Convention in the lace and plead
their case. Tammnny had shruLk away ana did
not dare to ask such permission The adoption
OF the resolution regulating the future elec-
ton OF delegates from Assembly districts was,
In his opinion, another triumph as 1t would
weaken the power oil the Ring IN the manipulation
OF tne conventions whose duty will be IN future

than the desires OF rings or ciiques who assumed 10

Il. however, the people do their duty to themselves

would not tske them on the mere strength OF the
Just snch sense OF responsibility as this that lie
himself and the reform party, as body,
desired to awaken on the part OF
the people. MIR. Ottendoricr concluded
his opinions BY saying that he felt assured that on

were reasonably satisfied with the influence they
had been able to exert on the Convention In behalf

not been heard and he would then give way for Mr..
Herman. though q wOrdy squabble was to be made
until they got some sort OF recognition But every
