his own he doubtless knew his exact strength in
the different political organizations In the city.
This injudicious statement Of the great organizer
attracted the attention OF the Committee on Or
ganization appointed by the Tammany Hall Gem
eral Committee. Mr.. John MOrrissey and ex-
Alderman Walsh, members OF the committee,
PRICKRD UP THEIR EARS
These gentlemen cast around for day or so ana
discovered that the Boss had q finger In the piey
too. Certain members of the Tammany Hall Gen-
eral Committee who were known to have been In
the immediate retinue OF Tweed In the good old
times had been heard recently to declare that they
could never vote for or give their support to Gree
ley or to some OF the other names on the State
ticket. These gentlemen came from the Third,
Fourth Fifth, Ninth and Seventeenth districts.
Mainly through the exertions OF Messrs Walsh and
Morrissey subcommittee was appointed by thu
Committee on Organization
TO INQUIRE INTO THE CHARGES
made against the members OF the General Commit
tee from the above Districts william Walsh was
appointed chairman OF this committee and the acl
cused were cited to appear before them on Wednes-
day evening Some Of them did so, among the rest
Coroner Patrick keenan,, member OF the com-
mttee from the Fourth district, who declared that
he had said he would not vote for Greeley In q
moment OF passion.
Last night the General Committee met to receive
the report of the Committee on Organization ON
this subject. Over five hundred delegates were
present, though good many seats were vacant.
John Morrissey took back seat and no one would
have thought that he had had much TO do with un-
earthng the frauds In the committee. Henry Genet
was to the front in his old place and "Bily" Walsh
took seat in the body Of the hall where he could
not escape
CATCHING CHANDELIERS EYE
Assistant Alderman John Calvin, who evidently
came prepared to make "splurge" for his friend
Coroner Keenan,, thought to euchre him by setting
In the seat directly In front.
JOHN W. CHANDLER called the meeting to order,
after which the Secretary proceeded to call the
roll. John Kelly bobbed up from his seat and moved
that each man rise as his name was called. When
the Secretary came to the Fifth Assembly District,
very few delegates from which were present, AS
sistant Alderman Robinson said that he wished to
explain to the committee that owing to the fact
that there was Greeley and gTowH %
large number OF delegates were unable to attend
