posed the frauds Of their leaders. Having done ne Work
he saw no reason why It should continue Independent

Mt Barrett believed that o union would Dr. cDu.al
mated and that 10 private interests wO1ld bc fu.et
to stand IN the way lie dldn't qul'c Ike tie uHc
Tammauy Hall, and wished that It had been Charge
when the body became purified. II was a bai ol.rln'
very justly So but they would have 10 make the ue0
that.
The reporter consulted 7 " B'xby, an iniIeHa
member OF the Apollo Hall General Committee. on t-t
subject of the recent action OF that body Tie c med to
differ somewhat from Mr Barrett I'm regard to TIE au
tude Of Apollo Han toward Tammuuy IT. -aid that %
was not IN contemplation TO dissolve the former organ
zaon or 10 merge into the latter The most That Aat
been offered was unanmity OF action in Tho F' cam
paicu Tho resolutions adopted at their recent meeting
were the result OF requests they had received from lead
inc Democrats throughout the state, and they Ycr
willing 10 unite with the Tammany Democrats and th
Liberal Republicans on fair and equitable terms, dNi
| ing the Offices and influence IN the ratio or tl'
ro,ucctive votes last FAN. Making far allowance or
Liberal Republican vote in the city which was ca ioi
the Tammauy candidates. he believed mat tAc Apollo
Hall partv gave a. LARGE vote the TImmauJ aud
they would unite with the latter only on equal terms
They had not got down on their knees TO Tamualy,a-

sopal friends but his popularity did not extend byolt

After learning the purposes Of the Apollo Iia Demo
crats so far "a their conflicting views wOud permit '
reporter called on three OF the leading u'mDeH

these oyertures were likely 70 be received There hi
