Tammany would accede to such an understanding.
The fight promises to be bitter one and IL may end
in long legal warfare lasting until the very eve OF
the election.
All the anti-Tammany politicians claim that by
the recognition of them the democratic organiza-
ton OF the city and county OF New York by both the
State Convention and State Committee they are
clearly entitled to name the inspectors from demo-
cratic standpoint. They point to the fact that the
State Committee Tuesday last passed resolution
asking the Police Commissioners to regard the
Irving Hall democracy representing the party in
this city and county aud demanding that the list OF
inspectors sent in by that organization be approved
II appears to be the general opinion that Tam
many has hurt herself by her conduct in asking to
be represented on the State Central Committee.
Even some of her warmest adherents say that IL
would have been better for her had her committee
men absented themselves else resigned their po-
stions. 1t is said that the vacancies on the COM
mittee will be filed by appointing six prominent
democrats from the Tilden wing of the party
THE ROBINSON RATIFICATION.
The committee of prominent democrats appointed
to arrange for the Robinson mass meeting on Mon
day evening next met last night in the Westminster
Hotel. Ex- Mayor William II. Wickham, Nelson
J. Waterbury and others were present Reports
read from the various subcommittee, and 1t
stated that invitations address the ratification
meeting had been extended TO large number OF life
long members of the party, among them being Hora-
chairman of the committee then announced that
meetings should be held in the hotel this and to-
morrow evenings. On Saturday night the full COM
miitee of $50 will meet at Cooper Institute.
The members of the committee held an animated
discussion after the adjournment in reference to the
present condition Of political affairs in this city. and
particularly with reference to the inspectors OF
election fight. and the State Committees action in
oustng the Tammany members OF that body. All
of them appeared to accept the committees decision
as q matter Of course, and natural conseq uence
of the State Conventions action in reference
to Mr. D. B. Hills resolution giving the commit
tee power to declare vacancies caused by the bolt
1t held that the Tammany committee men in
leaving the Convention abandoned their places in
the State Committee, which simply represents the
Convention aud holds authority delegated from it,
1t argued that an "excommunicated hereto"
might well claim seat in the College of Cardinals
a Syracuse seceder" a seat on the State Commit
tee while opposing the election of Robinson As to
the to the vacant chairs Of the departed
Kelly men, it seemed to be generally understood
that appointments would not be made tor some time.
The leading members OF the recognized city and
county democracy agree in the propriety of de-
ferring the presentation of names to the State Com
mttee until after the mass meeting Of next Monday
It is conceded by the State Committee that the
power vested in the Irving Hall organization it is
still called. will not be disputed hut that the local
committee will be enlarged SO as to allow the ad-
of the party. 1t is understood that the delay in final
organization is made especially with this view. it
being expected tnaC some OF even now
shine IN Tammany will yet illumine the tents Of
the Robinson faithful"
The members of the Irving Hall democracy will
soon take some decided action in reference to the
appointment of inspectors Of election. If these OFF,
GERS are not appointed before October some legal
steps will be taken; but the friends of the demo-
cratic Police Commissioners claim that Messrs.
French and Wheeler will not hold out under the
"odium." as they term it, Of being regarded Tam
many agents for the securing of three inspectors
who will be in favor Of Cornell toward one who will
favor Robinson Last night while this subject
being discussed, reformed" Tammanyite spoke
warmly in reference to the matter and his remarks
listened to by Congressman Meade, ex-Alder
man Waehner, Counsellor Oliver and n Of
others who last fall would have gone block out Of
their way TO avoid passing under the shadow Of the
Westminster Hotel.
"How." cnimed in one Of the bystanders "can
any Kelly supporter act inspector after testfying
in his application that he intends to support the
Democratic state ticket? This he will have to do be-
fore he can he appointed. Mr.. Kelly is not the
State ticket. How, then, can he claim inspectorsY
Nobody could answer this conundrum, which
the signal for adjourning.
It was stated last night that Captain Isaiah Ryn-
ders aud Harry Howard. of this city, and Amasa j.
Parker OF Albany, had agreed to support the candi
dacy of Governor Robinson. None Of the gentlemen
could be seen to verify the statement
