Monster Meeting at Apollo Hall Last Night
The Determination Of the Radicals for

Preserve the Statc-ResOlutiOns On Tam
mnny Corruption.
AQrceably with the programme laid down as far
back the 9th of March last, when the old organ+
sation Of the Republican State Committee was de-
clared for the time dissolved, and when 1t was
agreed that soon as the organization OF fifteen
Assembly districts should be completed a call was
to be made for the purpose Of ralying the republi
cans of the City around their standard for the next
campaign, the republican delegations Of New York
met IN considerable force last night at Apollo Hall.
On entering the upper hall at eight O'Clock 1t was
apparent at once that something extraordinary was
anticipated; for strange TO say, the room was well
hIeo promptly at the hour named for the meeting,
ana all present were buslly engaged, apparently,
discussing beforehand the benefits that were to
crue to the party from the conglomeratlOn. The
hum of voices, the gesticulatons of hands, and the
shaking OF white hats gave the reporters an idea
that grand coup was about to take place. that all
the errors OF Tammany from its earliest days were
TO be laid bare for public inspection and that the
publlcans were about to issue such q "bull" that
every democrat the United States would toter in
his boots and sue for mercy. One gentleman with
strong Hibernian accent declared that lf the people
OF New York would only give them chance he
would guarantee perfect system OF accounts and
entire freedom from Jobbery," and he went OH to
describe IN the most encouraging terms to his five
hearers how much he knew of the folly OF people
who would quietly submit to be robbed like fools,
while they placed implicit confidence in men whom
they considered political Soiomons simply because
. they had the wisdom TO keep their own counsel.
While the various caucuses were thus engaged
and TO all appearance periecting among themselves
grand plan for political emancipation, Mr. Jackson
& Schultz quietly left his seat In the body of the
hall and assembled to the platform, carrying in his
hands sufficient paper to have drafted new set OF
laws for the constitutions but, be 1t sad the paper
was blank and the expectations Of hearing lengthy
resolutions was not realized. Having raped on the
table with his Knuckles three or four times for tue
