NEW ToRK. Dec, 1.-THE Committee on
ORGANIZATION Of Tammany Hail held a meet
Ing tonight which partook rather OF the
funeral than Of the festive character. john
Kelly was present of course. The leaders OF
each district gave accounts Of their steward
ship, and denounced In strong words the
four Tammany Alderme.: who had voted
against Kelly's confirmation. Kelly,
Of course, made speech, in
which he said his deposition was Of no con-
sequence at all to him. In the course OF his
remarks he said, men have gone out from
this organization after having been ten1-
porarily members of 1t; after having been
disappointed in probably not obtaining office,
or through some other disappointment
They have formed these organizations with
the expectation and hope that they them
selves would beab1e to accomplish
THE oBJECT OF THEIR AMBITION,
md If possible make combinations with the
Republican party, and in that way bring into
power party not responsible to the people
or anybody, for the reason that it was cor
rupt combination made for the purpose of
getting power and holding office. Mr..
Cooper, Mayor Of the city, to-day stands
In that position exactly. AS he said
the day before yesterday, before the Senate
Committee, that he had been elected by the
Republican and Democratic parties, and he
1. sidered it a right and duty that he should
acknowledge that fact What an humble po-
sition. What degrading position for any
man to occupy! But. the face Of that man
speaks his whole character. His acts speak
his whole character.
Mr. Kelly continued in
VERY FIERCE TRADE
on Mayor Cooper; accusing him OF lacking
IN common honesty, and having around him
some of the worst and most vile characters
Of the city, some of whom he said he had
appointed to. Office There were four
traitors In tho Board Of Aldermen yester-
day." said Kelly, and then he went on
to specify their characteristics in terms
far from flatterinR. Kelly fingered long and
sadly over the subject and at length brought
his remarkable address to a close by saying
thai, as Tammany had expressed Its conf
6ence in him. the members Of the organfza-
ton would find him in daylight OF In dark
ness, on all occasions, ready to work for the
success Of the party.
The cheering was prolonged when he went
to his corner and took chair.

NEW YORK, Deos 11.-The Tammany
Committee On Organization this evening
enthusiastically Endorsed the leadership of
John Kelly. Speeches were made declaring
that Kelly never before was so strong as in
this seeming hour of trial. Speakers
charged that Mayor Cooper. Ti1den, and
party we're Democratic traitors who sold out
Gen. Hancock, and that the combination
which WAS consummated at the meeting Of
the Board Of Aldermen Friday last proved
this and vindicated Ta,nmany Hall Of the
accusations made againstit-
John Kelly, who was received with wild
enthusiasm, made speech in which he said
Tammany's record at the last election was
clear and bright as an electric light He
also charged Cooper and the Irving Hall
party with
IETRAT1Sa TIE DEMOCRACY.
"Would to God" he said, I" these men had
been faithful to Gen. Hancock. Would to
God they had buried aninosities In oblivion,
Then>therc would bc different story to tell,
and Gen. Hancock would be Presfdent-elect
Of the United States.r Office was of no con-
sequence to him {Kclly), nor was he ambitious
to be looked UP to as leader. But as they
had made him SO, and expressed confidence
In him, they could command his services at
any time, and he would not be coerced by
the press lie said public men trucking TO
the press could receive their support, but he
never truckled to the press unless he was in
the right
