the Traitors in the
Democratic Camp.
Last evening, at about halfpast SIX O'Clock,
crowds OF men began to assemble In the negnbor-
hood OF Irving Hail. IN obedience to q call OF the
Apollo Hall General Committee for meeting. This
haA Is now in temporary occupation OF the foes OF
Tammany, and the entire building will be IN by
them after the 18th Of September, when the
ball room will be handsomely decorated,
painted and furnished for the unterriHed. 1t had
been rumored that some definite action would be
taken last evening in regard to sending delegates
TO the State Convention at Utica, as body
separate and distinct from Tammany Hail. The
basement OF Irving Hall, which is devoted to the
furnishing oil cold suppers at 81 SO head to those
who nnd themselves hungry during the inter-
mission Of ball, was crowded by about 400
delegates all of the hard-working politician class,
with here and there wel-knOwn political leader.
Among the most distinguished present were John
McCoole, Samuel G. Courtney ex-United States
District Attorney; Roswell D. Hatch, O. A. Michael,
u. Murphy, ex-Sherin James O'Brien, Morgan Jones,
William E Dodge, Benjamin Wood, John Gala
CHAN, Frank Bixby, W. c. Barrett, Judge Spauld-
ing, Alexander Davidson and others. In fact,
1t was one OF the best attended Apollo Hall meet
ings ever held OF its General Committee, and the
name Of John Kelly, who was referred to as q
despot, "gilded aristocrat" and ''bloated bond
holder" together with that OF Andrew II. Green,
were received with every token Of disapprobation
possible from such an assembage. At five
minutes past eight O'Clock the meeting
was called to order by John McCoole,
the Chairman of the General Committee,
Alexander Davidson acting rs secretary. Mr.. Nc
Coole submitted that the calling OF the roll be dis
pensed with, which was objected to by Mr. W. q.
Barrett, on the ground that 1t only right that
the public should know who were there an dele
gates, and to show their strength.
volcE-Let them come in and see as we are
not AFRAID OF our strength tApplause.)
Mr.. Barrett gracefully submitted to the will OF
the meeting.
Reports from committees were then in order and
Mr.. Robert B. Noonly from the committee on pro-
curing hail. assembled the platform amid consider
able applause, and stated that he was on CON-
mittee to secure quarters Tor the general COM
mttee for 1873 and 1874 He was glad to state that
Irving Hall had been secured Tor that purpose,
and 1t was to be newly painted and decorated, and
he was doubly glad that Irving Hail. the birth
place OF the Young Democracy, had been secured,
and that In that hall they would be reaIy unitedly
to meet the issues about to be placed before the
democracy OF the city and State of new York.
Mr.. G. W. BROOKE then took the platform, and in
few pithy remarks read the following address
and resolutions

Mr.. SAMUEL G. COURTNEY rose to second the
address and resolutions, and was received with
loud cheering. Mr.: Courtney said that he was

which should be and would be universal among
all true democrats. (Cheers.) The travelled

who presided over Tammany Hal, has
told some OF his adhercnts that Apollo Hall was
deunct, morlbund and corpse Qaughter)
Well II he were here tonight, think he would be
compelled to admit that he never met In ali his
travels by the Lake OF Como, in the Tuileries, or
at the Exposition OF Vienna such lively corpse as
he would see tonight, and am sure he never
saw as lively q one in his early perambuatlons
among the purlieus OF the Five Points. Shouts OF

Andrew II. Green thisses), par mobile Tfatr7lm and

love than that which existed between Da-
mon and Pythtas-who were keeping the
democrats OF Apollo Hall (Cheers.) We are ready
TO throw out the olive branch OF peace and love to
every democrat OF the rank and file In this or any
other city, and in the words or the Scripture,
"Whom God hath joined let no man dare to put
asunder." (Cheers.) Woe be to them, say. Cheers.)
