national tournament in GilmOres Garden was
the persistence of :hat unique pedestrian, Mr..
Norman W. Taylor, otherwise known as the
Great American Pie Bitei,' after every ray
of hope of his securing anything whatever
except physical exercise from his efforts had
vanished. But Mr.. Taylor did stop, as we un-
derstand. when the show closed. and did
not hold to the track after the lights
were out, or continue TO limp pain
fully round the block after the audience
had dispersed and the money had been
divided. Herein the Tammany Democracy of
this city "hold over" the Pie Bitter. There
was some wonder at the entering of Tam
many in the go-as-yOu-please contest in No
vembcr, since it plainly had no chance either
To win the belt or get a share OF the gate
money. and as the canvass went on the wonder
grew. But every one supposed that ut least
when the election was over Tammany would
retire from the track and take rest. Whoever
thought so reckOned without his host Tie
race is over, but Tammany keeps right on.
We do not remember the precise number OF
Addresses that have been issued by the Tam
many Democracy since the polls were closed,
but we know that they keep on having meet
ings lust as though the campaign were in
progress. and they issuc at each one an Ad
dress to the American People or the National
Democracy. or some other helpless victim, in
which they recite recent political history with
abundant rhetoric, and maui the character OF
Samuel J. 1ilden with ever-incrcGsing zeal.
Either these are some old addresses left on hand
after the closing of the polls, or they have
got some dissolute literary person in their
debt for money advanced during the cam
paign and are making HIM work it out in the
composition of these belated proclamatiOns.
They had their usual meeting Thursday night,
and Major Quincy read the occasion the
usual Address to the Democracy of the
Union." The historical portion of this docu-
ment would seem TO convey the impression
that there are some slight differences of opin-
ion IN the party. From the fact that it speaks
of Z" the monumental infamy of the cipher
DISPATCHES as having fixed the New-York
Democracy in an unalterable determination
10 oppose Mr.. Tilden's denomination, we con-
clude that the New-York Democracy do not
coincide with the Democratic Congress that vim
dicated the old gentleman. There seems to be
slight confusion in the statement that Mr.. Tiiden
"by a recourse to a system of bribery and
corruption impaired the prestige of the
DemDclhllC ftIty, NulCh was ipDDcu VI tHt
Presidential office through his own imbecile
"cowardice and the cooperative frauds of the
" Republican party" Do they mean that he
ought to have taken by violence what he
sought by bribery, and was too cOwardly to
undertake it, or what AT any rate, they are de-
termined not to support him again under any
circumstances, for they say that to support
" such man again would render those sup
"porting him accessories after the fact to a
"crime so mean that it concealed itself in
cipheis aDd so enormous that the corrup-
" ton of Verres, the vena,jty of Robert Wal
"pole. and the vulgar rascality Of the Ring
"deprcdators in New-York pale into lnsignif-
"cance in comparison with it," Really. as
the hummer said when the barkeeper
kicked him out of doors, "there seems 10
"be some fcelin' here" They say also
that .'Mr. Tilden burst on the world
"as q preOrdained Refcrmer (preordained
ais good), and hired others to cheat
"for him, while he himself masqueraded as an
"apostle of purity" from which it is fairly
infersble. we think. that they are not so
much in favor of Tllden as they were in 1876.
Indeed, there is n reading between the lines
all through this Address, from which the pa
to infer that the Tammany Democracy
do not believe entirely in Mr.. Tilden's
sincerity as Reformer. From their
casual illusions to Governor Robinson az a
"traitor" and henchman" of Tiiden's, we
Judge that they are not in such perfect ac-
cord with that old Roman as they were a
year or two ago.
But the real purpose of the Address, we sup
pose, is brought out in the closing sentences,
in which they O. salute their brethren" and
ask them to " stand shoulder to shoulder in
"the civic battle of 1850. in order that we
s. may win over again what we won 1876,
"and when won TO see tat no cow
"ardly syndicate lawyer shall ever again
" surrender the fruits of the victory"
In this part of the Address they be-
come affcctlonate and talk abont "rally
cling once more as n band of brothers under
"the standards of tue Jeffersonan Dem
"ocracy and so forward together in
