IN support OF the adoption Of tho report Ambrose H.
Purdy said Tammany Han had offered maguanilnous
terms TO tho Ant-Tammany faction The demands OF the
latter however, unreasonable and all that Tam
many Hall could do is to go before the people
and stand or fall by its record. lie
said the cry of one man power was contiH-
ually heard against Tammany and yet, when
the subcOmmttees conference met. john Kelly was
elected chairman motion of an Anti-Tammany repre-
sentative. Nothing was said there about the man
power. The trouble that the AntiTammany leaders
were devoid OF principle. Office and equal division Of
the spos was the watchword Of their hearts. All they
wanted was punder, but the people could not
longer be deceived, and the men who had
broken off the negotiations that had been pending
between the leaders OF the two organizations would
soon rave an opportunity TO learn this to teir regret
Mr. PuIroy's remarks enthusiastically received
after which the report of the committee was uuan-
pously adopted and the several Assembly Districts in
he city instructed TO hold primaries for the eec
tio delegates to the State Convention at the earliest
