The excitement among the democratic pollti-
clans over the dropping OF the present General
Committees from horrlssey's, Ledwltn's and
Hayes, districts has considerably subsidized, and,
though 10 was yesterday fitfu theme OF discus
sion among them, every one seems TO have come
to the conclusion that nothing OF very startling
character viii turn up as result OF the action Of
the Committee on 0rganiza ton until the meeting
OF the General Committee IN September. 1t is
now a certainty that the Committee on Organiza
tion will make a report TO the General Committee
which will go into details concerning the under
lying causes winch IL is alleged proved the
suspicious OF the leaders well founded, when
they got up a quiet investigation into the

TammRny combination There are various opln-
Ions concerning the course Senator Ledwltn VIII
take. 1t is said that he will demand that his COM
mittee shall be permitted TO join In the proceed
ings OF the General Committee at its next meet
ing as usual, and that to attain that end he and
they are determined to make a good tussle.
Whether, If defeated In his purpose he will oppose
Tammany at the election, Is stlll doubtful ques-
zion, some OF the politicians contending that he

tam - said he, tnat If the bylaws OF the General
Committee amount to anything and are to be re-
spected, the action OF the Committee on Organlza-
ton is wholly without warrant Section % Of
article provides in unmistakabe terms that no
change that can affect the organization OF the
General Committee can be made in the committee
unless by consent OF three.fiths OF the members
elected TO the committee. Mr.. Kelly, at the meet

that this section was OF no account on the matter

The senator also asserts that If those members
