HALL AND THE COMMITTEE ON DISCIPLINE
Usually the AeatS OF summer keep the city
! politicians quiet Those who can afferd 1t go to
! Saratoga, Long Branch or Rockaway. Each year
we have had at least three full months OF COM
parative ease from the "bubble bubble, tot! and
trouoien of local Political wirepulling. But this
year seems 10 be an exception. The ant-ram-
many movement, which almost Invariably ac
companies every fall campaign, has been In
augurated in this city early as Juno, whie
former years never witnessed gathering OF OUT
side clans before the first week in September.
Various causes are assigned for this early attack
on the leaders OF The Fourteenth street ctadek
Politicians are willy and full OF excuses. They are
like the eel, which SLIPS so easily through the
hands and twists and coils itself into all sorts OF
shapes and positions with consummate ease. Their
real means Of accomplishing ends are scarcely
ever known to the public. They have an outside
life entirely at variance with private operations

five are to take prophecies OF those opposed to
Tammany Hall tor gospel truth most vigorous
and effectual campaign will be waged against Jhat
organization az the election next November. In
rev days we are to have another meeting Of the
prime movers In this antl-Tammany campaign.
They propose to carry the war into Africa without
delay
The call to the democracy OF the city to organize
under this latest banner Of opposition is being
prepared ana WILL OF course, contain the usual
quantity Of hlgh-sounding phraseology and vigor-
Gus promise Of reform. The gentlemen who have
the preparation OF this document in charge are
sx-Recorder James NJ. Smith, Gideon J. Tucker,
Robert b. Roosevelt, Emanuel b. Hart and Thomas
L. Snead. These gentlemen are also authorized
! to designate time ana places for holding prima.
rtss in the different WARDS The formal call TO the
whole city democracy VIII not be issued until alter
! these primaries have been held. The primaries
/ are to take place in each OF the cleo
/ ton districts. Five delegates are to be elected
from each election district to form district and
! ward committees. These delegates viii after
/ ward have we power OF electng as many repre-
sentatives TO The city and county committees as
! there are election districts In each Assembly
district. This programme, II Is understood. has
rules rules laid down by tue State committee There
Is little doubt but that room exists for an outside
opposition party If adroltly handled. Strong dis
affection exists in the Tammany rank, and it Is
claimed that tue laborlng classes Will vote TO
man against tue nominees OF that party In conse-
quence OF the late reduction OF wages.
J TANMANY's STANDPOINT
Leaders of Tammany Hall spurn the idea that
there is any possible chance OF success 10 this
outside moveRsnt. They argue that the peo-
pie perfectly understand and appreciate the in
| tentlons OF those who propose to organize sec
ond democratic party in the city OF New YORK.
They point to the result OF former campaigns
! motives Of the opposition. Tammany has beaten
and scattered to the winds the Apollo Hall

urged by Tammany Hall men as an exhibition OF
the evil done by such thrd-party alliances as was
deyeloped IN TIC Apollo nan l, campaign; Mr; John

a harbor OF safety. The same wise connsels wAlch

harmony can be restored and the decks cleared
for action for tho Presidential contest Of 1870.
