band, in red swallow tail coats is deafening the
ears OF the large Gro gd under the windows with
the harmony OF "Aud Lang Syne," and the dele

| ran fierce and high between the Tammany and
| Apollo Hall men, The Tammany delegation came
early IN the morning, and had the choice in the
port; bnt when dusk came down the trains brought
big reinforcements for Apollo Hail. The Boggs
House and Butterned House are both swarming
with delegates and their excited friends, and all
other subjects seem lost in the bitter quarrel that

that IL will bar them out OF the Convention as

A good deal of feeling Is manifested against John

The Brooklyn delegation of eighteen persons, in

Attorney S. d. Morris does not hesitate say that

brilliant talker he will make trouble for Tammany
should he get on his legal legs tomorrow. Bob

The Tammany delegation held caucus this
afternoon in secret at the Boggs House. and reso-

not carried IL because some OF the cooler
heads moved an adjournment until tomorrow
morning, to discover whether the wind was from

engineer from New York City, and who

and may possibly succeed samuel Courtney, on
behalf OF Apollo, asserts that his organization
desires no favor, and will not cringe to Tammany,
but will demand equal rights with her, and If not,
| they will fight 1t out inch by inch.
