Hart Francis NJ Bxby and Charles Crazy went 70 the
front on behalf OF the antLrammany organization II
was announced before these gentlemen went before the
committee that only half hour would be allowed 10
each side for the purpose OF presenting arguments
THE ARGUMENTS
Mr.. Ira shaer spoke first on tbs anti-Tammany side
he alluded 10 tho vote OF 1000 votes cast by his
party at the last election evidence OF their
strength. The prestige OF victory should also tell in
their favor BY ther action they had saved the State
ticket
Mr.. Charles W. Brooke followed in short and Wig
orous speech. He also argued to the good work
which had been accomplished by the an'i-Tammany
party last November in saving the State ticket Mr.
Peter b. Olney and Corporation Counsel Whitney madc
speeches the Tammany side. They attacked the
anti-Tammany men rebels.
Senator Morrsscy then took up the cudge, and
fred back icw good shots At olney and Whitney a.
10 their connection with other outside organizations
He dwelt particularly upon the point that Whitney
had run for District Attorney on the Apollo Hall
ticket and was defeated That certainly rebellion
against Tammany Hall Mr.. Morrisscy then dssccted
in his own peculiar and causc language the action Of
Tammany in sending him out OF shat organization
He had been twice expelled-onco by Tweed and once
SIMPLY because he had the manhood to stand up
against reduction or the laborers' wages and tho
dcspotsm which then ruled IN the wiswam. He Alter
ward went down into district OF New York city
where he did not reside and badly whipped the demo-
cratic candidate arrnyed against MIN.
Mr.. John Kelly went into history Of his connection
with Tammany Hail. He had taken hold OF the organ
izaton at a time when change was required He did
not ask aspire for Office and had spent tmc and
in his Efforts 10 give the people Of New York
good city government.
Mr.. Augustus Schell also spoke. He il said to have
made very wild kind OF argument, attacking tho
antiTammanycs traitors and using similar cpthets
Morrisscy again took tho floor and handled
the Centennial Schcll without gloves He ac-
cuscd the Tammany Sachems Of being very ignorant
in political matters, and venturcd to bet that Sche
didn't know the boundaries Of his own Assembly
distric'' Those were the main points Of discussion
used on The occasion None were admitted before the
committee but the fourteen representatives OF Tam
many and anti-Tammany Morrssey frequently poked
questions Kelly. while the latter returned the
piment Some little bitterness exhibited In these
personal alterations but tho whole tenor OF the re-
marks described as having been conducted within
the lines OF proper debate Both delegations then
Withdrew order 10 give tho State Committee op
portunity to deliberate
DELEGATES CINCINNATI.
Pending decision tho New York delegation wcrc
busy engaged in specializing upon the Of the St
Louis delegates from their seven Congressional dis
trics; tho NTH, sixth, seventh. eighth, ninih tenth
and eleventh Considerable rivalry exists among the
local statesmen to selection of those delegates Al
though only fourteen can go nearly every Of the
Tammany Hall General Committee, over 500 in all, are
working for the much coveted honor The Congressional
District Committees supposed 10 chose those dele
gates They scarcely have anything 10 do what
ever with dscharging the important duty.
It appears that Mr. John Kelly, with all the other
party prcrogatves he possesses has assumed the nam
ing Of those They will all BIO agreed upon before
the Convention meets tomorrow. Then they will be
reported for the final action of the entire body Among
tho names mentioned likely to BIO chosen are Gcn.
eral Badly Smith, Mayor wickham and John Kelly.
The delegates large will probably be Henry MUIR
ply, Senator Herman Lieutenant Governor DorshcimeI
and August Belmont Governor Seymour has posi-
lively refused to accept one Of the places.
