COLONEL JOHN r. FELLOWS DISCUSSES THE AP
PoINTMENT OF ELECTION INSPECTORS BEFORE
AN IRVING HALL COMMITTEE.
The sub-Executive Committee Of the Irving Hall
democracy met yesterday afternoon in Irving Hall,
Mr.. George IL. Purser in the chair. This committee
consists three representatives from each of the
Assembly districts throughout tho CITY, The object
of the meeting to hear the report on the organ
ization of the delegations from the new Assembly
districts adopted tho previous evening by
special committee of twenty-one to whose the
matter had been conded The principal features Of
the report were published in yesterdays HERALD.
Colonel John L. Fellows gave a verbal report and
ske,ched the whole plan in detail. He also said
that, q member of the special committee, 1t was
his duty to report recommendation which could
not command his approval. The special committee
recommended, he said that the Police Commission
ers who are favorable to the Irving Hall democracy
should be requested to tho entire list Of
inspectors and poll clerks of election sent in by
that organization. He thought that IL the matter
came before the Police Commissioners tomorrow,
appointment sought would at least be delayed.
Another reason which he urged in favor of post
poning action in this direction was that by the
pected action of Tainmany Hall that organization
might put itself outside the councils of the
national democracy. What would be the result il
upon the 10th of next month the Irving Hall democ-
racy should return from Syracuse with Lucius
Robinson nominated? 1t might then become neccs-
to organize all the democracy OF the city against
Tammany Hall.
POSSIBLE CASE.
1t would. therefore, be injudcious to press just
the appointment of inspectors Of elections. for
it might soon be necessary to rule out John Kelly
and all the satellites who have expressed their de-
termination of following him outside the limit of
the party boundary in case Governor Robinson
should be renominated. Colonel Fellows continued
by saying that 10000 democratic votes cast last
year tor Mayor Cooper had laid hold of
the city government machinery and taken it
from the GO 600 democrats who voted for Augustus
Schel The two Police Commissioners representing
this successful minority have the right to name the
inspectors for the republicans. and MacLean and
Morrison could be mandamused in case they re-
fused to confirm them. But. Colonel Fellows urged.
supposing that Lucius Robinson should be nomi-
mated IN Syracuse land he believed that he would by
overwhelming majority. then the law would
give the inspectors to the Irving Hall democracy
being the regular democratic party. for John Kelly
and his satellites had already declared that they
will go outside of the party to oppose Governor
Robinson.
After Colonel Fellows finished the recommends
tion of the special committee. so far es the immc-
diate nomination Of inspectors was concerned was
laid on the table, and the committee meeting adj
journcd. Afterward caucus meeting organ
lied, MIR. Il. Is. Hart in the chair. The discussion
was concerning the most feasible method of carry
ing out ia the Assembly districts tho scheme
of organization which had just been adopted The
basis OF representation was to be on the old demo-
cratic footing OF delegate in the General Com
mitee for 100 voters OF the party in each district.
Beiore going into caucus 1t was agreed that mass
meeting should be held in each Assembly district
about the lst of September tor the purpose OF elect
ing delegates to the approaching State Convention.
IL was also determined that meeting of the Gen.
cral Committee should be called for the 9th of next
month. in order to perfect the party organization
previous to the Convention. The resignation of
Commissioner Morrison as temporary chairman of
the General Committee was reported as being in the
hands OF some not mentioned to be acted on
when the committee shall meet.

TO THE CALIFORNIA LABOR LEADER
A few weeks since the National Greenback
Labor Party OF the City and County OF New York;
was split into two factions. Mr.. Wilson Macdonald
was the head and front of of the factions and
had the good luck to have control OF
the upper part of Clarendon Hall, where
nearly all the greenback meetings are held.
The other faction. under the leadership of General
S. +. Crookes, had to be content with the lower por-
ton of the building and hence came to be desig-
mated as the .'baseruent" organization. BY some
process other. however. 1t happened last night
that General Crookes followers found themselves in
possession of the large hall formerly held by the Mac
Donald party The proprietor of the place. Mr. Sause.
Just before tho meeting demanded of Crookes the
money for the hall, and threatened, 1t 1T was not
Forthcoming, to turn out the gas. He refused to
take the word OF Mr.. Crookes, for his followers,
that the amount due would be paid, re-
marking that he had "no faith In politi-
