rAMMAyyITEs VIEWS on THE MATTER.
Among the 1ammany politicians thcre was but one
feeling expressed yesterday, and that conviction
that in rejecting their overturcs. the New York
county democracy had made error fa alike to the
unhcation OF the party In this city, and to their own
existence as powerful faction. Judge r. g. Duffy SAID
reporer-.The result Of yesterdays conventions
at Irving Hall vernes the predictions made to you
divided among themselves; they had . wholesome
lack OF lone power; IN fact they had severy
for himself" power. and you can see the glorious
fruit Of state Of things do not wish TO speak
consciously OF the inner management OF an
organization TO which have been opposed, but the
dsaraccul scenes reported in the papers ranspir
ing at its Convention prove conc!usivsiy that the
clemens which made up anti Tanmany were inhar-
monlous and were only neld together W common
| all hungered. When these gentlemen rejected
the fair terms offered them by the Tammauy
Committee OF Conference and clamored for special
Offices tho only basis upon which union could be
effected showed how their profess
were heir motives Now some Of them prepared
TO Affiliate with tho republican party or at best TO
make a futile struggle BY themselves which must
impair the chances OF the democracys success, and,
as The HERALD suggests, open a way for the other
party TO elect their ticket In doing this they become
like the hsrcenaries OF old, set OF freebooters it
