A significant movement In the direction OF
rebellion against the iron rule Of ex-King John
Kelly over the New York Democracy was made
last evening by tho Nineteenth Assembly Dis
trict 1ammany Committee. Senator Thomas
c. L. Eccesine made stirring speech. de-
nouncing the one man power and advising the
appointment Of local committee to distribute
patronage md pledged himself to throw his
patronage in tho hands of such committee in
preference to the General Committee
Senator Ecclcsne said You are tho only
Democratic organization recognized by the
state Central Committee. 1t Is well that you
should know your power and know tho duties
that that power imposes upon you. You are
tho direct representatives OF tho people. under
tho rule established in 1875. At the State Con-
vention held under that rule you were made
the depostarics Of Dcmocratlc power in this As
scmby district. As Democrats l ask you to
guard the interests OF the Democracy commit
ted to your keeping. | ask you to do all in
your power at this time. when your party is di-
vidcd by dissensions in its ranks to close up
these discussions and extend tho warm hand
Of friendship to every truo and honest
Dom ocrat. no matter what his previous
record may have been. Great and important
interests. involving the welfare OF the entire
city. are closely connected with this Nineteenth
Assembly District. Extending from Fifty-ninth
