TAMMANY HALL.
Recognizing the District Delegations
Of Inef5ciency and Lack Of Fidelity
Among the Members.

The Tammany Hall Democratic General Com
mlttee met in Tammany Hall last evening,
John Fox in the chair. There was Q large attend
ance. Mr.. John Kelly, from the committee oi ten
appointed to investigate the condition of the va
rous Assembly districts as to efficiency, harmony,
&c, reported that the committee would be able To
report in fun at the next meeting. At presefA
however, they were able to report the condition OF
the Seventh, Eighth, Tenth and Seventeenth As
sembly districts, the members Of which were ex-
amined separately. From the delegates in The
SEVENTH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT
the Information was elected that large number
OF the delegates had not acted unitedly nor CO.
operated with their associates at the late election
or in favor OF the gentlemen nominated by the
party, and the committee had much reason TO be-
lieve that this General Committee cannot place
any reliance on the fidelity Of that delegation as
now constituted. There are individual members
gentlemen OF political strength and personal worn
against whom the committee do not wish TO cast
the slightest reflection The largest number of
the delegation, however, supported ana voted the
Apollo Hall ticket for Mayor and cooperatcd with
that association. We recommend to the General
Committee that, for the purpose of general re-
Urgan'za.on n tn TINS district the seats q The
Your committee also had before them the dele
THE EIGHTH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT, Is,
and on deliberate investigation found that the
prlmGpai pnasIparo member o OF sal said delegation ac
s e he BECAUSE not there yS ree at
gentlemen on the Tammany Hall ticket objection
able 70 him. nor did he support your candidates
all day. Individual members OF the delegation
stated reluctantly tnat the work of the
bers, that the delegation was rarely
called together and that it was very doubt
n'an al 4 they could ever act harmoniousiy Q, EN-
fn' cs s HHen who s nave Nfee @
committee is under the impression that lit
tie II any effort was made to continue their Con-,
Of the organization In consideration Of these
facts, and In accordance with the opinion of your
committee, of the utter impOssibllity OF relying on
the delegation as formed, we recommend that the
seats OF the whole delegation be declared vacant,
and would recommend in making up new deega-
more literally represented There are reliable and
trustworthy men among the members OF the dele
way responsible for the inefciency OF the deega-
tion.
The delegation from the -
TENTH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT
IS not so strong and efficient as to warrant s con-
tlnuation as at present formed. Its leading MEM
was his personal friend at the late election and it
is shown that he voted and eectioneered Tor James
C'BrIen. A great want Of confidence is shown
among the voters in the oisrict in the delegation
and your committee would recommend that a
change be made likely to make it wholly ctileient
and trustworthy, and secure for it the confidence
OF those whom it represents, and in consequence
recommend that all the seats Of the delegation be
declared vacant.
The members of the
SEVENTEENTH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT
also appeared, and it Is shown that they were
composed so antagonstic as to rarely act
together. The delegation is now reduced TO
onc-half its original organization. Power should
be given the remaining members to I'LL the yacan-
cics, as provided by the bylaws; but we would rec
ommend that the members consult the various
interests OF their district that may be ia harmony
with Tammany Hail. y
THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION
is recommended for adoption:-
Resolved, That the seats of the members from the
Seventh, Eighth and Tenth Assembly districts be, and
they hereby declared vacant, and that these dis
cts be referred to the COMMITTEES Organization, for
the purpose OF filling said vacancies and that the per-
who may be selected be notified by the Commit
Organization attend the next meeting oi the
General Committee JOHN KELLY.
