night. The machinery was set on foot which may
eventually create a more chaste democracy and
more reputable order OF politlcians-tf the dream
is realized. There was deal OF mystery about
the assembling Of this body Of men. The hour
seven o,clocg-was suspiciously early. Each man
as he entered looked anxiously around to see how
many spies Tammany Han had present. Rufus f.
Andrews came in smiling, and when asked
why he had shaved or his whiskers, de-
clared that it was necessary TO dis
gulse ones self when present at meet
ting or this kind. "DennYn Burns tho
member from Sigo,n was there. Mr.. Benjamin
WOOD, Colonel Thomas L. Snead, James NJ. Smith,
Bernard Casserly aud large number OF unknown
but nascent statesmen were present. Mr.. Swan,
Comptroller Green's Albany lobbyman, was also
on hand to take a calm and independent repuoI

THE HOUSE COMES TO ORDER.
The meeting was called to order by benjamin
WOOD, and Sachem L. b. Hart, ex-Commssoner
Of Emigration, proceeded to state the ob ect OF

every thinking man in the city OF New York that
the people had lost faith In Tammany

self-preservation well as patriotism would die
tate a complete and thorough reorganization OF
the democratic party in this city. the voters OF
the metropolis could not be odwlnked any
longer BY brazen wire puller, backed BY secrer
society which claimed TO represent the time
honored democratic party. The organization Of
Tammany had been used as the CLOAK OF public
THEFT on former occasion, and now it was beng
used for an equally desplcaOe purpose the cover
ing election frauds and one-mau dctatlon.
Mr.. Hart's remarks were received with loud
demonstrations OF approval which were queled
by the chairman, Mr.. wood, after considera ole
difficulty.
