DECLINES SACRIFICING MS MANHOOD
NEW York, Oct 30 1875.
Hon. JOHN KELLY, Chairman OF the Committee Or
ganizaton Of Tammany HALL
SIR-N hen the Tammany Hall party was reorganized
under the auspices Of yourself ana other gentlemen
after tho downfall OF the Ring, became member of
the organization, and for the past three years have
been member Of the General Committee Of the Twen-
teth district then believed thas the organization
would be conducted upon democrats prnciples that
the people would have voice IN directing ITS policy
and It's nominations, and that It's influence would be
eXcred In favor of good government and for he prooc
ton of the rights and interests OF the people AZ large
Gradually, however, the organization has been losing

more creature in the hands Of one man. Those who
have resisted or protested against your measures or
your arbitrary rule have been expelled from the organi
Ziton; the rights OF the aboring classes have been
shameully abused, and you have placed the organiza
tion on the side Of injustice 70 them.
The nominations for officers at tho coming election
have been made your dutation and not such as
the people would have voluntarily made. a striking
instance Of this fact occurred In the nomination OF
Everett T., Wheeler the candidate for Senator In the
Eighth Senatorial district A sub bcommittec sent
TO the Convention by the Committee on Organization,
to dictate the nomination OF man who was entirely
unknown the members of the Convention, and
that committee, under instruction from you,
forced themselves the Convention and renamed
there until the nomination had been made as dictated
by you. find that there is no harmony or good feel
ing in the General Committee of the Twentieth district,
and that discord exists in the place Of that good faith
and harmony which essential TO successful results
lnasmuch | cannot support the undemocratic
policy Of the Tammany Hall organization, and because
believe that By remaining the General Committee
would be sacrificing my manhood and self-respect, !
hereby resign my position as member OF the General
Committee Of the Twentieth district. Yours, respect
fully, PATRICK ANTHONY,
No. l37 East Fifticth street.
The meeting then adjourned
