DEMOCRATS IN COUNCIL.

MEETING OF PROMINENT DEMOCRATS FROM
THE VARIOUS ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS AT TAnNlANY
HALL YEsTERDAY-IkYrNG THE PIPES FOR THE
ELECTION OF DELEGATES TO THE STATE CON-
vENTIoE.
Under a mlsapprehenson one Of the secretaries OF
the Tammany Hall Cemmltee Organization yester-
day issged call for meeting of the committee where
IS the n;;:,~..4 that intended to be called was
simply Of the leading dem5efats in each Assss-noly
district The object Of the meeting was that inter
change Of views might be had some conclusion
rived at as to the time when primaries should be held
in the various Assembly districts for the election
OF delegates to the Assembly district conventions,
which in their turn to elect delegates to the State
Convention which be held Syracuse on the 10th
of next month
In the days when the Ring was in power II was the
habit of the Boss and his associates to issue formal
call for the primaries which delegates supposed
elected to go to the State Convention. This kind
OF thing always considered by
THE COUNTRY DEMOCRATS
unrepubican and they always growled about it at
the conventions; but the "Boss" failed to find
means necessary to put end to every incpient re-
volt against the one organization procama-
ton business When after the Court House frauds had
come TO light the Ring delegates succeeded in getting adj
the Convention passed resolution which virtually de-
cared that the method of Tammany no longer to
tolerated; and that without being caled" by any dis
tnctive democratic organization, the democrats each
Assembly district thereafter in eectng delegates to
State conventions should assemble per agreement
among themselves FIRST to elect the delegates, not to
the Convention but TO district conventions which
in their should elect delegates to the Convention
This the object sought to be obtained by the Conven
ton OF IL and conform to that resolution that
the anti Tammany democrats at their primaries and dis
trict conventions last month went through the for
mula prescribed Since 1871 Tammany Hall an
organization to secure the delegates she desired has
always requested the various districts to hold their
primaries given time and OF course the request has
always been needed No doubt the late action oil
THE ANTI-TAMMANYITEs
has made the Sachems little cautious, and they have
apparently determined that when the democratic dele
CATION from this city goes Syracuse this year it will
be of the pure Tammany stamp and other.
And there good reason for this caution for If tho
Tammany democrats should not in the manner of tho
down by the Convention of II and the antl-Tammany
ties, with a delegation chosen properly, should de-
mand admission TO the coming Convention as the only
rghtu democratic delegation from this city IL IS easy
to perceive there would be considerable trouble for
DEvorEEs OF THE wIGwAM.
But the Sachems always sleep with one eye open, as
the meeting of the prominent democrats from tho
various Assembly districts yesterday at the Wigwam
proves. These democrats careful enough not
to organize themselves formally by the election OF
chairman, but the meeting considered by common
Of consultation only and every one there
FORE had his little talk and big talk, he chose
without any fear of points OF order being raised
gavels going down to his confusion and dis
may when rounding off period. Among those present
were majority of the members Of the Committee on
Organization who very naturally on hand because
of the msapprehenson in the call that had been issued
for a meeting of that committee Thus every Assem-
bly, district represented The talk that was in
duged in was general about everything and anything
that the primaries that to be held and by
common consent 1t was finally decided that the mem
bers from all the Assembly districts present should in
vite their fellow democrats to
A GIVEN PLACE
on the Both inst between and nine P. NJ, when
primaries will be held to elect delegates to the Conven
ton which is TO elect delegates to the State Conven
1t will be the business of each Assembly district
convention thus elected of course to meet at whatever
time best before the State Convention meets to
elect its three delegates to the latter. So Tammany It
will be seen by this action is not going to let its dele
CATION be 'bounced out of the Convention, at least II
regularity is 70 be the only test OF admission
