HORACE PUTS HIS FOOT IN 1T.
motion was made to accept the report, which
the venerable Horace put ID the meeting and sum-
marily declared adopted. Scarcely. however, had
the enthusiasm excited by It's passage subsidized than
braided the chairman with having been led away by
his vanity as the probable author or the report to
declare i adopted before h ne had Afforded an
from the views expressed In 1t to speak.
Horace was naturally completely tafen aback,
for his inadvertenl injustice. He also again put the
report TO the meeting and Mr.. Dayton seized the
opportunity 20 say tnat whe ne acqulescea 10 most
In spirit which would not contribute to the har-
mony and prosperity OF The party In the city so far
ought TO have been couched, the report was Of a
character tntended-deliberately intended-tO pro-
intended to perpetuate the disturbances which now
exist. He had hoped that 1t would, on the con-
trary. have led to the consolidation into compact
and united party Of all VINO were IN opposition to
Tammany Hall.
Mr.. LLOYD AsPINwALL began to speak in the same
strain, wnen Horace cut him short by saying that he
UTTERLY MISCoNCEIvED
the purport OF the committees report.
Mr.. Aspinwail said no more but Mr.. Dayton again
took up the cudgels against Greeley In lengthy and
heated harangue.
Mr.. FORSTER next spoke. He said he did not re.
as holding office under Tammany. Every man
knew the bargain that passed he City Charter. The
republicans forced division OF those commissions.
They did not make q bargain; they dictated terms.
He and Mr.. Greeley and fourteen others went to
Albany.
Mr.. GREELEY-Yes; but l did not agree to that
division OF offices.
Mr.. FoRsTER-No, nor l either. Mr. Forster then
went on to give curious story In regard to

and said he had no hope Of winning, but did net
want the Tammany man elected, and would keep in

expenses were given him by the republicans. Mr.
Forster then arraigned the committee who refused
that offer on purpose to elect the Tamnany man. Of
treachery and Of
HAVING SOLD OUT
their party. In conclusion he warned Mr.. Greeley
tHat Tue men VINO mao pushed MIN INTO MS present
seat did not want him to succeed and, though he
said
"GoD BLESS HIM (GREELEYr
for taking it, he did not think he would succeed.
Several other speakers made more less AMI
mated addresses and finally Mr.. Dayton withdrew
sona shots In respect TO his past political career
from Major Farman.
On motion of General CocHRANE committee OF
hve. composed ofcMessrs Cocnrane, Andrews, Fors-
ter. Dayton and Conover, were appointed to hear
charges against any recreant republicans and re-
port on their conduct to the committee.
