to-day to the magna,es of rammany Hall as it was
when "Boss'' Tweed dispensed the patronage of tho
city departments and gave lat Offices to his followers at
his own sweet pleasure The best possible illustration
that could be given of this fact the meeting yester
day at the Wigwam Of the Tammany Committee on Or
ganzaion for tho purpose of devisng the means neces
sary to bring about reconciliation between the Anti
Tammanyites and the Tammany leaders Last year
the Tammany chieftans swung their tomahawks
around their heads and dcied the rebels to do their
worst The rebels took them at their word
and signal victory, thereby carrying oil the lat
Offices, dripping with public pap, which a hundred
Tammany patriots had looked upon good their

that committee had appointed subcommittee of three
