WHO SHALL THE NEW MEN Be-


The Subcommittee on Discipline OF Tammany
Hall held another secret meeting yesterday AFTER
noon, at the Wigwam In Fourteenth street, to
continue their WORK OF fixing up the new commit
tees that to take the place OF those OF tue
Third, Eleventh and Fifteenth districts, which
were wiped out few days ago by the committee.
Ali the members were present, and among those
Tammany braves not actually members who were
on hand to do honor 10 the occasion were MI.
John Kelly, General SpInola, Alderman Power ana
Judge Kane. The meeting tasted FOR upward OF
an nour. At times considerable discussion was In
duIged in, and there was also great deal oil
''suggestlng'' on the part Of those gentlemen VINO
were not members OF the committee as to what
gentlemen snould be placed upon the committees
IN lieu OF those who to be lett or IL turned
out during the meeting that the applications for
membership added 10 the recommendations
made by prominent democrats, were nearly $50 IN
number the great majority beng from two up
town districts the Eleventh and Fifteenth 1t is
from all these that the committee had TO
SELECT THEIR CHOICE,
and they found their task no light one, as, while
wiling TO put in the place OF those men who
TO be dropped entirely from the committees as
they stood previous to Saturday last the best ma
terlal available, they felt that no matter what
they may 10 those applicants and>Otners sug-
Resled by good men IN the party who Will not be
selected VIII feel sighted. AS expeditiously as it
could be done the names OF all the candidates
were gone over and compared-their "loyalty''
In the past was examined oy the record OF their
votes and actions and their particular pun"
and standing among their fellow democrats, were
contrasted man by man. The committee were
able to come to a conclusion as to all the names
OF the new men under consideration, although it
is known that seven new men were decided upon
for the Third district, ten for the Eleventh, ana
nine for the Fifteenth district 1t seems that the
question they most earnestly discussed after sll
was as to which, If any, OF the old members
should be retained; and at times the discussion
was quite warm, opinions differing widely at first
among members of the committee as to the rela-
tive loyalty OF some OF the old members. A man
who was considered "sale" enough to be retained
by one OF the disciplinarians was not looked upon
with favorable eye by another, and hence there
ensued debate after debate, although not the
slightest Ill feeling manifested during the
discussions each MEMBER seemingly being bent
only upon doing the best thing be could tor what
he considered the party's interests. "No matter
what our personal predictions may be-" said
one OF the committee. "they must be set aside II
they conflict in the slightest degree with our
STANDARD OF PARTY FEALTY."
Said another, al by mistaken sympathy for any
one man we should, while processing 10 reorgan-
lze the committees OF the districts in question,
place upon them men VINO would, If not openly,
at least coVertly, be as unfrlendly TO Tam
many interests as the men we drop, we woui0
do more harm than good and ALLEVIATE from
ourselves the support OF those whe look to US to
make the new committees a strength instead Of a
weakness" IL was finally decided that II after
full examination into he record OF each member
Of the committees dropped, mis- political ANNA
t1ons since the last campaign, and his stand to
The action Of the Committee on O. ganiZaion on
Saturday last NO higher recommendation could
be given him than that it would be 'safe" to
tam him, ne should at once be numbered among
the slaughtered ANY man, )" remarked one OF
the members, "who IS even now apparently laith-
full but who cannot be depended upon 70 stand
arm in the Tammany ranks under all ana every
circumstance, must be set ASIDE" And thus IL
was that it finally came to pass tnat the following
are TO be
RETAINED BEYOND A DOUBT.
Third tHayesD distrlct-AlexanderP ration, ST.;
Eleyent6 (iorrIssey's) dlsrict-Augustus

william j. Kane. James J. Deery, francis Morgan,

Sanger. Thomas Daw, Ricnard J. Morrison,
Campbell.
The suspicion that attaches, according to Tam
many's way or looking at IL, TO the Third district,
can readily perceived by the fact that only two
out OF the eighteen members Of the committee
from the district we're deemed true enough 10
Tammany to be retained. However, 1t is but Just
TO say that lew names yet on the black list may
still pass muster. At all events, as matters stand
thus ar,
THE "DR0PPRDr MEMBERS
are as fonows:-
Third distuct-Henry Manro1, Daniel O'Reuly,
John q. Okeere, Francs Ackehna, Jchn A,
