ANTI-TAMMANY AT IRVING HALL.
The Executive Committee of the autiTammany organ-
ration assembled at Irving Hail punctu lily at O'Clock
and contrary 10 their usual custom sat within guarded
DOORS and made show of great secrecy and so'einniy
The attendance large, the number of hangersOn
eager for gossip was John Morssey and ex
Sheriff O'Brien had been summoned from saratoga ana
arrived early in the afternoon. +. T. Hart was
chairman the Irving Hall meeting and soon after 1t
was called TO order Francis NJ Bixby was appointed
committee Of wait upon Mr. IOrrssoy and invite
him to the secret eOnclave. Mr.. Morrssey appeared
with an admriug retnue and welcomed 10 the com
mitteeroom with rounds OF applause. On being miro
duced to the Executive Committee he made speech
which evidently created STR within, as he was fre
Quenty interrupted by shouts Of appreciation and clap
ping OF hands.
In substance Mr.. Morrissey said he understood that
the meeting had been called to unite the different ee-
ents OF the Democratic party. He had had no confer
enee with anybody in Tammany Hall concerning pass
of union, but Saratoga Democrat had approached
him the subject. He asked the Democrat II lie had
power to treat and on getting affirmative answer,
asked for the terms. The Democrat suggested union
by division on the OF the last election. To tins
Mr. Morrissey objected, and suggested union
on a basis of equal approximation In
the state Convention, on the electoral
ticket and on the state Committees This was as much
a. accepted. This statement ELECTED applause Mr..
Morrssey further said that it was the duty OF every
Democrat lend all possible aid TO the work OF eonc
atop in view OF the Presidential election and especially
OF Gov Tilden's nomination. The first step toward
union would be for the two organizations to enter the
State Convention equal terms As for himself he
should make every effort to bring about reconciliation
fair basis, and tlat too without having any selfish
aims further particular candidates whose Derests
he could desire 10 advance Everything so far
ns he was concerned should he done openly and
nothing secretly No one or two men should have all
TIE talk and all the insight The day past when
few could sit down In a corner and make noinna-
tons these DAYS essential for political leaders
10 tell the people what was best be done and how IT
was being done He would have secret about IT, and
wanted everything done above board
These sentiments pleased a majority Of the committee,
aud loudly appauded RESOLUTIONS very similar 10

ton, and the following conference committee was
appointed VI. c. Murphy, Denis Burns, James Hayes.
