The German Reform General Committee mst last
night in Germania Assembly Rooms, and by their
action gave the lie to the boasted German love OF
fair play. After emptylng q keg OF lager and pun
ing away numerous cigars the Committee at nine
O'Clock, was ready for business. Mr.. Lewis Levy
occupied the chair as President, and Mr.. A. Man
helm as Secretary. A little preliminary confab
was had as to the propriety OF conducting the
business in English or In German. The matter
was compromised by the Secretary reading
the minutes OF the previous meeting in
English. From these 1t appeared that they
had endorsed james O'Brien for Mayor hence
there was q strong probability that the delegates
would go the entire Apollo Hall ticket. The
minutes were adopted, wnereupon committee OF
three was appointed to nominate secretary for
the German business They reported Mr.. Adolph
Mehr, who elected. Then came the real business
OF the evening-to nominate county officers and q
judiciary ticket. The President, at some ones sug-
gestion, was about to appoint nominating CON-
mttee, but his appOintees gave dissatisfaction to
several delegates, for 1t looked as ii the gag
to be applied to the minority. After some speeches
committee OF one from each Assembly district. The
President then selected his men from list before
pointment was for the delegates to answer sheren
as their names were called. Objection was made

Mr.. BLAsCowER and other delegates spoke against
nominating ticket In that way. They wanted the
General Committee to have the right to object to
individuals on the ticket and to substitute others
in their stead. But DR.. Schultze, Mr.. Mannheim and
ing the entire Apollo Hall ticket from top to bot
tom. Tammany Hall had never done justice to the
Germans, and now that they had the power
they should go in for beating Tammany Hall
at any sacrifice. The report was adopted
by rushing vote In which the negatives
declared adopted. Then ensued scene OF con-
fusion rarely seen In German gatherings. Mr.. j.
Gross, the sergeant.at-arms, was about to eject
one Of the respectable minority for protesting
against the supplementary proceeding. but there
were too many In the minority, who placed them
selves In hostile attitude to him, and his friends
separated the wouId-be comhatants DR.. Schultze,
Mr.. Lessor and others then spoke In behalf OF the
ticket and in the interest OF union and peace
among the German political partiess but great
the whole thing "fraud,"a ''seii," &c, and de-
termining to work against the ticket nominated in
whole or in part. Toward the close OF the meeting
DR.. Gum, candidate for ofce from the Sixth dis
trict was introduced. He spoke against Tammany,
and especially against James Brooks, for some
Know Nothing opinions Of his expressed In years
gone by, and after some desult0ry remarks by
others the committee adjourned.
