The Tammany Hall County Ticket
To Be Slaughtered.
Letters from Hon. Francis Herman,
Judge Daniel Pratt, Asher P.
Nichols and S. S. Cox.

The astounding democratic victory in Ohio
brought large and wildly enthusiastic audience
to the mass ratification meeting OF the State dem
Ocratc ticket held by the Apollo Hall organza-
tion last evening in Irving Hail. At about seven
O'Clock large crowds began to gather in Irving
place. between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets,
and among these crowds were some OF the most
active and hard working politicians in the city,
who all talked death and vengeance to Tam
many Hall. Owing to the TACT that the
different Assembly districts OF the Apollo Hall Or
ganzation were holding conventions to nominate
candidates, the great mass did not begin to pour
in until about nine O'Clock, when the various dele
cations came on soldly and filed the hall and
galleries until there was not any standing room
lett. The first man to arrive and go to work
was James O'Brien, who seemed to know every one
present by name, and then came Senator Thomas
J. Dreamer. Charles w. Brooke, the great legal
orator; Samuel G. Courtney, Thomas Conan, John
Pyne, Lawrence D. Herman, Francis NJ. Bixby, Alex
-ander Frear, Colonel NJ c. Murphy, John McCool,
)rnelius Flynn Aldermen McCaGcrty, Kerr, John
,eiIly, mel Dennis De CouIcey Alexander
Davidson, Captain Mcclellan and others. The hall
vaa left In darkness for some moments until the
unterried began to pour in and to give that grand
old Bowery stomp which betokens impatience and
expectation. All the boys were cred hot" as
they said, for the ratification of the democratic
State ticket and the only mistake made was that
H0ratio Seymour and Francis Herman had been
nounced to speak and it was discovered that these
gentlemen had made previous engagements which
prevented them from being present. When the let
ter Of s. S. Cox was read, in which he sang the
praises Of the OF the democratic state ticket
in Ohio, the applause was unbounded; and the re-
marks OF Messrs Brooke and Herman and the
assuring promise OF Judge Pratt, who wrote that
State, brought down the house. The resolutions
had good and hearty ring about them, and their
absolute endorsement Of the State ticket and their
denunclation OF Tammany Hall exclusiveness
caused ringing cheer to rise from the throats of
the horny ny-handed and robust delegates from the
uptown districts. Without all this sentiment
however. Tor democratic victory in the State, there
was bitter and unyelding feeling against the
Tammany Hall county ticket, and it was can
vassed thoroughly how the county nominations
OF John Kelly might be 'knifed" and destroyed.
The leaders were discussing the advantage and
probability OF the nomination by Apollo Hall OF
John McCool for Sheriff and General Patrick II.
Jones for County Clerk, on what is to be called
'People's" or "AntTammanyu ticket. 1t was
asserted that the nominations for Assembly and
Senate would not be mace by Apollo Hall until
Tammany mad first shown her hand, and then
that men of good standing and high character
would be nominated in each district for the Assem-
bly, and Senate. One stout-ooking Apollo man
stated that he was not going to vote for
Conner for Sheriff because he believed that he
was member Of the "order Of United American
Mechanics and another said that the thing which
was going to kill Tammany was her tacit and
understood defence Of Comptroller Green. The
meeting was success in more than one sense.
