~~mr.~rv nan has no longer It's old b0ldnese and
aectsson. they have both departed fr0m that
ancient institution, and there Ii Q lukewarmness
and indecision manifested that is lamentable
among the new leaders, who, II they are honest
are yet as timid as children. For week past
yammany has been dodging to and fro on the
question OF the Mayoraity, and yesterday morning
che subcommittee OF seven appointed by the Tam
many County Convention met again ct Tamnany
Hail to confer with the liberal republican sub-com-
mittee, the workingmens subcommittee, the John
McCool national democratic committee and other
outside organizations, who were all pressing
sheir claims hotly on the subcommittee. Some OF
the delegates favored the nomination OF Judge
John r. Brady, who, 1t Is SAID, would
NOT serve n nominated, while others OF the high
toned party thought that Abraham r. Lawrence II
nominated would poll large vote John McCool
was talked OF by the delegates from the national
democracy, and they claimed that he was the only
man who could beat O'Brien among the element
which is chiefly relied upon by the Senator to seat
him In the chair Of the May0ralty. committee Of
the Ear Association was also present and held
conference, and the names OF several gentlemen
were submitted to this committee, which at present
seems TO hold the relation OF sort OF legal ad-
yisory board to the Tammany Hall organization.
Among those present were Judge Ledwith, ex-
Sherir John Kelly, Abram S. Hewitt trustee OF
the Cooper Institutc Edward Donnelly, brother to
the pastor OF St. Michael's Roman Catholic church;

delegate stated that he believed that II Daniel
+. nemann, who had formerly served as Mayor
with fidelity to the cause OF the people and in
segrity were nominated the city would be carried
by Tammany Hall under the banner OF reform and
anti corruption. Ex-Sheriif Kelly privately de-
clared himself in favor OF Richard M: Henry for
Mayor and gentleman OF the legal profession said

TWO delegates Of the Old Guard Tammany stripe
said that Lawrence was most deserving OF the
nomidation. 1t is understood that Mr.. Augustus
schell decidedly favors the nomination OF
ination would concentrate nine.tenths OF the
German vote In favor OF Tammany Hall.
Of the members seemed to favor ottendorfer foy
Mayor and Richard Croker for Coroner. The popu-
larity OF Croker among the young mechanics and
Convention and 1t is probable that lie will be the
Tammany nominee for Coroner.
The conference was adjourned from the morning
until last evening, and in the meantime a self-ap-
poined committee, acting informally, one OF them
being Mr.. Augustus schell, called at the ONCE of
the Stoats Zeittsg, in Chatham street. OF which Mr.
Ottcndorferis editor and proprietor, with the in
tenton OF holding, consultation with Mr.
run for Mayor The committee, Of course,
ton in the matter, and it is stated that Mr. often
dorier firmly declined the nomination for Mayor
nrst on the ground that he did not desire any olce
OF any kind and, secondly that he aid not believe
that all outside organizations would unite with
Tammany on Ottendorfer as candidate for the
Mayoralty. He said that the StIdtS Zeit1tilg will
have article this morning inspired by Mr.. Often
dOrfer, In which his reasons Will be given Tor de-
Ginning In advance any nomination by them for
Mayor, on the ground that q stronger man
can be found BY Tammany, on whom they
can unite all the fragmentary ana dlscord-
ant outside organizations. Last evening the
sub bcOmmittees of conference Of Tammany Hall
and other organizations were in session; but, Al.
The aforementioned candidates names, yet they
did not come to any conclusion whatever, partcu-
larly as OttcndOrfer had been sounded and found
wanting. The McCoolites threaten, II the claims Of
their candidate are not heard, to bolt and run
their own man on an independent democratic
ticket-a measure which Will, perhaps, cause the
election OF James O'Brien. The subcommittee Of
conference will meet again for further consultation
This evening ut ten O'Clock, and the mountain
may then bring forth mouse after great labors.
