succession to Campbell
A Tammany Meeting and Speeches BY
Kelly and Others Irving Hall De-
nounced as T~reacherous to Hancock and
the Party.
New YORK, Dec. 11.-Allen Campbell, as
comptroller, succeeding John Kelly, and
Hubert o. Thompson, SIS commissioner Of
public works, succeeding Mr.. Campbell.
have entered upon their dut les, and the
work of wedding out the Tammany men in
the several offices will now begin.
The Epening Express (Tammany) thus
speaks to the Tammany aldermen, who yes
terday voted with the Republicans and anti
Tammany aldermen, and made sure the re-
volution:
"To Bernard Goodwin, Robert Foster,
Frederick Helberg and Henry Hofen-Sirs:
You were elected aldermen by the votes of
honest Democrats, who believed your pro-
LESSONS and trusted in your honor. You
were elected as members of the I,ammany
Democracy, of this city, in the belief that
you would carry ont your pledges before your
nomination in good faith. You have betray-
ed your trust, ~repudiated your professions,
turned traitors to the people who elected
you, and branded yourselves as utterly with
out principle, honor or manliness. You have
sold yourselves chesp, very cheap, for the
disgrace n infamy of your conduct
will stick to your names while you live and
will attach to your children. A grave was
dug for you and you lay down in it. There
ia no resurrection for men who have doomed
themselves. The parties whose abject tool
you willingly became will not trust you and
have no further use for you. All honest
men despise you. Judas went out and hung
himself after he had got his thirty pieces of
silver. You need not hang yourselves;
you are already worse than gibbeted. The
brand set on Cain was harder to carry than
death. Live and enjoy the price of your
treason if you can, but if you live to the age
of Methusaleth you will never outlive the
crime of which you yesterday convicted your
selves. Go"

the table and said, "Mr. Campbell, I can
only wish you success and happiness in life,
and that in administering the affairs of this
Office you may have success and prosperity"
Mr.. Campbell said, "Mr. Kelly, I certainly
wish yon success and happiness in your life.
Are there any documents or bonds which it
is necessary for sou to turn over personally

partments to visit his Office and informed
them he wished them to furnish him Mon.

house until II o'clock and then vent over to
the city hall for the purpose of surrendering
his late Office to his successor, Mr.. Thomp-

said, 81 suppose. Mr.. Campbell, you have as
sumed the duties of your new Office and I
have come to take possession of the one you
have vacated" Mr.. Campbell then said,

in this matter. You are familiar with the
duties of the Office and it is not necessary for
