ment were very much in earnest. The special
,oae,;nC of the Tammany Hall General
Committee which was called to ratify the st. Louis
nominations. and which was held last evening at
Tommany Hall, whether designedly or not, was made
tbs scene of the first open opposition to Mr.. Kelly

tbo rulings of the Chair, MT. kellys friends came
ont victorious but not without passing
tbroueb one of the widest and most Clso:~
derly sessions that have been witnessed
IN Tammany Hall for years The meeting
at times was wholly uncomfortable by the Chair,
and partial order was finally restored only by the
prolonged rapping of the Chairmans gaVel, and MS
refusal to hear any one. At the adoption OF
the resolutions approving Mr. Kely's course,
men left their seats and pressed TO the trout part ol
the hall where climbing upon the chairs. and toss
ing their hats in the air, they completely drowned
for the time all the opposition to the resolutions
made by Peter b. Olney, Edward Cooper and
others.
In a speech by Mr.. Kelly, he sald that after lie
had carefully weighed any question and made up
his mind as to the correctness Of his views, no man
on this earth could change his mind. lie
admitted that he was capable of max
ing mistakes which were, however, of the head and
not of the heart he was also capable OF chershhs
resentment as other men, and If AN injury was done
him. he would resent it without regard to the per
son from whom it came.
