The Herald saws the dssatisfac' ion
which has of late been manifesting itself
against Tammany Hall is gradually as
Stunning shape. Last night there assembled
in one of the upper parlOrs of belmont
cos, Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue, a
large number of influential Democrats,
whose object was to form an organization
which it is hoped will supersede Tammany.
The latter organization they claim has out
lived its usefulness, and the TIME is now
ripe for party reorganization
on a new basis which will give
all the people chance to form a general
committee which will be constituted of
representatives of the various elements Of
the party. To this end it was last night
decided to get a representative delegation
from each Of the city wards with view 70
arranging preliminaries for the election Of
the general commission projected. The
first object of the organization will be TO
institute a systematic campaign against
Tammany. 1t is now intended that the
general commission shall be provisional,
but it shall ultimately be permanent. On
Monday next another meeting will be held
at which about four or five representatives
from each ward will be present, and it is
then expected that important work may be
done.
