which the councils OF Tammany Hall are con-
Quoted, resigned from the General Committee Of
that organ lzatlon. Since that time have taken
no part whatever In politics. But my desire to re-
main quiet private citizen Is denied me by the

Touching tnat part Of the resolution relating to

Home rne--to limit and Iocalize most zea!ously the

Has Tammany Hall violated the democratic plat
form or not in nominating Edwin X. Meade, OF Cne-
mango county, lOr Congress In the city OF New
York; Is this .home ruiesn Is this l0caization Of
powerS' For what reason did the Tammany rulers
bring Mr.. Meaue from nls nome to represent a por-
ton OF tne people OF this cityr WHAT extraordinary
services has TINS Mr.. Meade rendered the demo-
cratic part. Are not the people ol the Fifth Con-
gresslona district capable Of selecting Tor them

resented at the polls. 1t Is true we are poor In
