Preparations Of Apollo Hall for the
Fall Battles.
Overtures Of Peace Towards
Tammany.
A UNITED DEMOCRACY PROPOSED,
Resolutions Of the Apollo Hall Central Com.
mittes Inviting Reunion.

The Apollo Hall democracy held meeting OF its
Central Committee at Robinson Hall, East Sixteenth
street, last evening" and opened Its plans for the
coming campaign.
THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT
OF these plans consists in soft overtnrcs
TO Tammany for democratic reunion. The
han lled pretty early, but long delay cnsued,
owing 10 the failure OF the Committee on Res0lu-
tons to finish the work OF resolution making
assigned to it at the last meeting, and 1t was
nearly nine O'Clock when John McCool the Chair
man, called the meeting to order.
AMONG THE MOST PROMINENT MEN
Of the Apollo Hall branch present were Senator
James o'Bren, Judge spaulding, william @. Bar
ret, Samuel G. Courtney, William ID. Booth, ex-
Speaker Hitcnman, Alderman Monhcimer, cx-
Judge Hartmann, Dr.. Finnell, Henry Henkens
Henry Murray aud others less noted, representing
The bone and sinew, with an encOur-
aging sprinkle OF the wealth and influence
OF the city democracy. The delegates had evil
IDENTIFY come cooked and primed for the move
toward reconciliation. The aIable Senator from
the Seventh was permeating all through the hall,
ncIining all hearts toward peace ana reunion by
his winning ways ana the intellect OF the assem-.
blage was generally very busy among the roughs
and more "out and out" delegates
THE CALL OF THE ROLL
was dispensed with and the minutes Of the last
meeting were read and approved. A delegate
then offered resolution that each member OF the
general committees be assessed SIS to deray the
expenses oil the central Committee but this was
amended to impose an assessment OF $40 rom each
ward committee and 50 agreed to.
Mr.. DAVIDSON, tue secretary, stated that the
hall from which the organization takes It's name
was being turned INTO theatre, and i'll consc
quence the organization had
NO PERMANENT ABIDING PLACE,
and he moved that committee OF five be appointed
70 secure nail lor their regular meetings

mittee :-Messrs. Spauding, Monheimer, Hampson
| recess OF ten minutes was taken to await the
| report OF the committee, and on resuming Judge
Barrett was requested to address the committee.
SPEECH OF JUDGE BARRETT.
He did so very readily. He said he believed in
making timely preparation for the battle Of No
its inception. and for all future time, the now
cred democratic party would meet again as friends
by q republican Mayor. We have puyifed the
other branch OF the democratic party. Let no mar
tell me that Tammany Hall is not regenerated
The evil elements OF that party have been driven
out by our own efforts, and the leaders who cast
reproach upon the democratic name have been
scattered TO the four winds OF heaven. We ask no
0 Knee toy any But s lave s the p Ses
bono and sinew Of the party IN this city with US
We have the esteem OF the best citizens Of the
metropolis, and we have even the respect or the
republican party, am heart and soul In favor oil
union with our democratic brethren, and believe
Tanmany Hall is heart and soul in favor OF union
with us.
This speech was received with vigorous applause
and was interrupted only by the arrival OF the
committee with their resolutions

THESE SENTIMENTS
were heartily applauded, and received the unanf.
vote of the committee in favor or their adop.
ton. No word OF argument or dissent was uttered,
and after speech by Courtney, In which he fol.
lowed the line or argument opened by Judge Bar.
rett the committee adjourned subject to the call oil
the Chair
The prevailing private opinion among delegates
seemed to be that Apollo Hall ought not to be
responsible for the division OF the democracy and
that any reasonable compromise with Tammany
would be accepted. No ''Mg-handler arrange.

must come down from her stin 0fnshness II she
wished for peace or reunion.
