Morrissey's hackers are indignant at the nlachl.
nations that were set on foot TO lsjure him. and
the Indications are that II John himself does not
interfere they will raise mischief at the meet
ing of the General Committee next Septem-
ber SAID OF them yesterday :-"Just
think OF the idea Of prosecuting man because
he dared to express his lniOn about tne way
things are being managed 10 the party. MOTHS
sey doesn't gam any thing by remaining In Tam
going 10 let anybody put MIN out before he feels
Ike going. The only money we have had tu use
IN the Eleventh district OF late at elections mas
been John's, with the exception OF the little SUB.
given as much as $4,000 at time ior the district.
Ii spending ones money and time Tor the party is
proof Of ones being dlsorganiZer Tammany
bad better 20 out OF political business"
IL is but Just TO add that all the leaders OF Tam
many disclaim having had anything to do with
the plan to put MOrrs5ey in back seat by nav
ing his committee reorganlzed; but one OF the
members OF the Tammany Committee on Orgau-
lzatlon IN speaking about the matter last even.
Ing significantly remarked :-'MorrlSsey Is In the
way. and brings down upon Us, by his pas. con-
nectlons, the sneers OF the republican press. We
may not wind up TINS business before the next
eectlon; but when the election Tor the next
General Committee takes place we will have the
want will not De elected. Stii before election
TINS trouble may be ended.'
The question now Is, How Will "this trouole" be
ended I The Tanmany Sachems ana Morrlssey
stand. Jonn has won nrst blood and the nrst
