Tammany Must Take q Back Sent-The
Masses Of the Democracy Honest to the

Both This Year and Next.
BUFFALO, Sept rs, 1871.
Since my arrival in Buffalo have been able by
conversing with the leading democrats in this Sec
ton of the State, to arrive ut pretty de finite
cluslon as to what the rank and 1e OF the country
wing Of the party hereabouts think Of the exposure
OF Tammany's msdeeds. But l will let these men
speak for themselves, one at o time. First among
the well-known democrats whom had rne good
fortune to come across Is John Ganson.
Probably there Is no one man In this state who Is
better known In politics than Mr.. Ganson. He has
always exerted a very powerful influence In this
section OF the State and, 30 far as It has lain In his
power that influence has always been for COOL. lie
represented his district In the state Senate In 1888
and 1885, and made for himself quite reputation as
an earnest and determined foe OF corruption, no
matter In what shape or form 1t presented itself or
by whom originated lie Is now in the prime OF life,
and enjoys q fame as lawper second to that OF no

HERALD was anxious to ascertain the real senti-
ments Of the country democrats In relation to the
Tammany exposures, and what effect the exposures
would have in these country districts at the coming
election.
"Well, SIR" said he, "in these paris there Is
BUT ONE SENTIMENT
on the subject OF these fraudulent accounts"
"And what is that ~
"That is OF condemnation"
II dare say the exposures have created quite
sensation among the country democratsY"
.They have indeed The indignation or the demo-
Gratis in this portion or the state very great. The
villany OF Tammany Hall is denounced upon all
sides, and You Will look in vain among the demo
Gratis hereabouts for men who will say word in
paaton OF her crlmesn
''The feeling is oil one way, thenYr
at Is most decidedly. There are q few men, to be
sure, who in times past received favors at the hands
OF Tammany, VINO, for instance by her aid were
successful In certain matters oflegisaton, who now
say nothing about these fraudulent accounts that
have been exposed. But they as nothing in COM
parison with the great OF the democratic voters

could 1t be otherwise"
10 you mean 10 say tnat the democrats In THIS
section of the State Will vote the republican ticket
at the next election TO show their indignation at the
conduct Of the Ring"
"No, do not; but say this: Ibeieve the country
democrats viii hereafter have nothing to do with
Tammauy. They never countenanced corruption
and they don't mean TO commence to do so now,
The democratic party was never aown as party
that favored corruption, and the pc ope wei under

II may appear. IL has been In years past Just as
much as could be done for the sake OF harmony IN
the party to prevent the country democrats from
sending Tammany with her pretcnsons, about her
business at the State conventions. The storm has
