flushing with pride said :-'T have worked SO hard in
my district against Kelly that did not allow Fammany
to elect single man in it." When asked as
to what he thought of the vote, Mr.. Creamer
expressed his surprise at tho number OF
votes given for Tammany, and, with honest
Indignation he excaimed:-'I did not expect that
there were many slaves here tied to the Tammany
power-so many voters that could be bought At least
10000 OF the Tammany votes were bought by their

by saying that he wished to be distinctly understood

John Kelly, whatever his political faults may be- is
certainly an extremely amiable man. That good
naured broad face of his beams upon all mankind I'm
elusive OF the reportersl His grip always warm, tho
tone of his voice mild and pleasant 1t has often been
noticed that the greatest political dicators the
sort of men, as though they would hide behind their
smiling faces their dangerous and deadly ambition.
Bismarck is said to be such man; John Kelly Is
another. Yesterday afternoon the fallen Sachem
was going down to the basement of
the Tammany building, where tho Committee
on Organization hole their meetings. when his eye
suddenly lighted upon the eager visage of a HERALD
Special who had been despatched to feel the political
pulse of His Defunct Majesty the exCzar of New York
in order to ascertain how much longer he would strug
gle against his fate before giving up the ghost and max
ing his 1na bow 10 the political world 1t is said that

perate leap at his human antagonist denotes his pur-
pose in an unmstakabe manner, and there must DO
something similarly suggestive in the expression of the
interviewer which tells that he for interview
for John Kelly did the reporters approach
No, he took in the situation at q glance.
''How do you do?" he said to the scribe extending
his hand in cordial manner and smiling as pleasantly
as though Hackett had been defeated by $4,000 ma
jority.
The reporter said Every well, thank YOU" and re-
turned the polite inquiry.
II feel good, - said John Kelly with broad laugh
"But look here you needn't ask anything from the
HERALD The HERALD will never get a word out of me,
none Of them from the chief editor down to the last
reporter"
Several of the delegates who stood round him and
heard this manly declaration seemed to be engaged in
by their expression Of profound admiration that
capped the climax with the following emphatcally
spoken words
"Pu that into your paper"
The writer promised to comply with this very reason

henchman, cheeruly pursued his way down the stairs

Mr.. Thomas Dunlap for instance, the Commissioner OF
Jurors a very cstmable gentleman, but welded to
Kelly with ardor such shepherd ever felt for
his shepherdess. Mr. Dunlap gave it as his opinion
that the organization would stick to Kelly, what
might that he would remain its leader and would yet
lead Tammany to greater victories than il had

been to nominate Hackett, but everybody

the defeat in Mr.. Dunlap's opinion was not

great deal TO do with it, Mr. Dunlap remarked ''You

opinion, and the Sun has influence among the poorer
classes of people 1t was impossible to resist the
binaton OF the newspapers" Mr. Dunlap thought that
Tammany, instead of being weaker all the stronger
for this defeat it would close it's ranks moro
tightly and be careful to nominate the very strongest
men IN the future. But as to destruction of Tam

to the defeat of Tammany three years ago, which, he
said LETT 1t only corporars guard, and still IL like

General Frank spinoa expressed similar opinions.

Tammany all the stronger So 1t would be in this case
Tammany would win next fail greater victory than it

Sand how do the candidates tako their misfortune

General spnola laughed and replied, ''Tbey take

BLY, JR.
Hon Smith Ely Jr, member of Congress, said that
although he did not belong Tammany, he keenly
GREETED its defeat for this the first time his life
that Tammany had nominated eight mon its judicial
ticket who were thoroughly unexceptionable from
every point of view He thought the key the defeat
the trouble with the aborers that formed the pyro
which the press lighted with the torch. As regards
Keilys resignation he thought Kelly must remain in
the organization-f not leader then still prln
cpal adviser. There was man who had the LEISURE
the brains and the confidence of the party to tho
ment after Tammany defeat that reconciliation
took place with some of the anti Tammany leaders;
but that out OF the question in the present case
the latter were too repugnant for association AS to
the cry that Tammany was dangerous society, &C.,
this had been substantially the for the last thirty
years But Tammany Hall had its history its trad-
lions and real estate which would always make it a
power in New York.
While Mr. Ely gave his views another member of the
party, who had evidently not drunk much this
day. kept shouting, 'John Kelly will rule this country
within twelve monthsi But Porter must get out and
then all the trouble with the laborers will be over !"
