WHAT THE RIVAL PARTIES ARE DOING.
MEETING OF THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE OF ONE
HUNDRED-ITs PLANs--wHAT CHANGES THE RE-
PUBLICAN ORGANIZATIONS MUST UNDERGO.
The DemOcatic Committee of One Hundred
met Monday, and appointed August as the time for
the organization of the assembly district associations
to which delegates have been elected under the auspices
of this committee. AS these assembly district
associations formally organized they will each elect
fifteen delegates to county committee, which will have
power the time and place of holding county
ventions, and other like duties. The who have
70 reorganized" the Democracy in the city under
the name Of the Committee of One Hundred feel conf
dent that 1t will give life to their party in the CITY,
They say that recognition will be given to Tammany
Hail. which they profess to believe is Its last
legs" and the Irving Hall organization proec
ted by Sheriff Bowe John Fox and Others 1t is subject of
rdcue to Hubert Thompson and other leaders of the
Committee of One Hundred Unless the Democratic State
Convention devise way unite the Democracy
IN this city local issues there to be
poet of two three separate Democratic tickets being
placed in the field this The probabilities OF union
are not regarded as promising. Messrs Thompson,
Whitney, Costigan and others of the Committee of One
Hundred claim that the union with John Kelly last year
was the principal Of Democratic defeat in the
State and they not ready to repeat the blunder On
the other hand, Mr. Kelly claims that he could have
elected his local ticket without difficulty but the
union with the Ant-Tammany party nearly swamped
it. He openly accuses Messrs. Thompson, Whitney and
Costgan of treachery to the city ticket.
There are now five Republican county organizations
In the city, two of which This is ascrbed
TO the of the Republican leaders In the city,
who, acting under ex-senator Conkling prescribed
all Republicans not willing to bow the dictation
of the "Boss." The total membership OF these
five organizations, however, does not exceed 1000
although there were $1,000 Republican votes
poed at the last election The principal organization is
that Of the Republican Central Committee. This is
posed of delegates from Assembly district associations
and these associations practically corporations
no one can become mepber unless approved by the
district leaders, who in most the presidents
These men have been the chosen friends OF Mr. Conl
ling and 1T has been in this way that he has controlled
delegations from this city 80 the State Conventions
Owing to the late complications In the party. many of
these leaders uncertain of their political future
hence they have prevented meeting Of the Republican
Central Committee In order that they might not be
forced into any official expression OF opinion
The Administration Republicans demand a re-
organization OF the party in this city in such
q way that all Republicans can unite in one asso
citation, and that who Loyalty the Repub.
ticket shall be excluded because he may presume to
question the wisdom OF certain party leaders. That
such reorganization is needed to strengthen
the party is admitted all sides, and George
Bliss and others have publicly expressed the
opinion that the coming State Convention will
order it. Unless. however it is brought about
in time TO effect the nominations local offices there Ia
said to be danger that unity not be secured Under
the present system OF making nominations only mem
bers of the Disct associations allowed any
of few leaders have dictated the nom-
nees for which $1,000 Republicans expected to
vote Many Republicans believe that If the party
be united under one strong organization, good men
nominated for local offices they be elected without
the necessity of combination with Democrats cleo
ton last year pointed TO example of what
be done under different auspices.
Unless spirit of compromise and fairness is shown
elccting delegates to the Republican State Con
ventiOn this year, there is said to be n prob-
ability Of trouble: Administration Repnbi-
the delegates from this city shall be elected as hereto
fore from among the members of the machine organza
uon ana under the sole auspices of the who
responsible for the spartan band which caused such
trouble at Albany. The other Republican organizations
demand representation i'll the State Convention and
unless compromise Ia made there will be three del
egatons from this city TO the State Con an I'M
usual occurrence.
The delegation from this city TO the Republican State
Convention will also be larger this than ever be
fore Each district is allowed delegate and one a-
dtiona delegate for every 800 Republican votes cast
gates in the Convention which met last year year
1t will be entitled to about eighty and the possibility of
controlling this number will, it is thought, lead
siderable rivalry The local offices to be filed this year
are District Attorney to succeed Daniel g. Rollins
RepublcaD); Surrogate, In place of DelanO c. CALVIN
Tammany); seven State Senators twenty. -four Assem-
bymen twentyt three Aldermen; and ten Civil Justices
Candidates already busy working for these nomina
tions but 1t Is too early to predict much out
come.
