conference should agree upon, and he
should adopt and recommend.

General Imboden concludes by saying:

BOSS TWEED UNBosoMETH.
Boss Tweed has unbosomed himself to a
Herald reporter as follows:
Reporter-Greeley will not secure your
support, | suppose
Tweed-That depends upon how [ am
treated. The attacks of the Tribune under
the present management are drawing thou
sands of voters away from Greeley. Icould
name 200 men who control $500 votes, each
of whom has been alienated from Greeley
by the bitter attacks of the present man
aging editor, and who are going to oppose
him. | am surprised that MI Greeley
permits it,
Reporter-May ask, if you do not sup
port Greeley with your influence, will you
support the administration 1t is said your
sympathies tend that way.
Tweed have never intimated that |
would sustain Grant. | have made no
promises, and have taken no part person
ally one way or the other. But | still carry
with me a large vote OF the city. can con
troll 10000 votes.
Reporter-Is that all? Could you rot
carry more!
Tweed think could carry all the city
south OF Fourteenth street-probably 1000 |
votes.
Rep0fter-And II you opposed him, his |
support in that district would be small |
Now l want to ask you again, do you not
propose to support the Grant ticket!
Tweed have not yet decided what l |
shall do. 1t depends upon how l am
treated; but as yet have remained uncom-
mitted.
Reporter-Perhaps you would support
OConOr as a third candidate!
Tweed-I have always been a Democrat
and voted a Democratic ticket, and [ ex-
pect, to remain such. After pause: 1
wouldn't like to bet that Greeley will carry
the city, not to speak of the State
Reporter--Do you really then think that
the city is doubtful?
Tweed-Yes, Tammany Hall cant save
her. The new Tammany does not amount
to much.
