STILL HIPPING on The "JTDISESp

SILL H-IIIJNb w mr. ~ DIDES'
Some one ought to explain to the County
Democracy of this city that there is no doubt
viii tcycr in the public mind as to their atti-
tude toward Tammany Hall, John Kelly,
" Bossism," and the zone man power There
is really 10 need of their going to the ex-
pense of hiring a hall every few minutes and
passing resolutions on the subject. The vO-
cabulary has been pretty severely drawn upon
during the past three OF -four months for rcsO-
lutions condcmnng Tammany and Kelly and
everything relating to them; and there's
danger, if the district associations keep it up
at the present rate, that the resources
of the language will be exhausted. The
other day the Tenth Assembly District As
ISOLATION Of the County Democracy posted up
their accumulated Indignation and disgust in the
form of a pair of resolutions in which they say
that the acts of the Tammany members Of the
Legislature meet with their condemnation and
disapprOval, and that they look upon them "as
IAN attempt to continue in favor the one
man power and Kelly issue against which
:" the Democracy of the entire State is arrayed,
and against which continuance we earnestly
"proteSt.' They emphasize this expression by
resolving further "that the Tammany men
"havc forfeited all claims upon the Democracy
or TO the future suflraScS Of the people by
" whom they were elected, and that their names
merit descent to political Oblivion as the
Judases of the party they have 50 Shamefully
betrayed
All of which is sufficiently definite and pro-
nounced 10 leave no doubt in the mind of
anybody that the County Democracy of the
.t NOT ,f thn ti,,,
of the Tammany representatives. The only
criticism we make upon it is that it seems UNI
necessary. We know these things so well and
have known them so long that we look upon the
hiring Of a hall and the passing of these res
0lutiOns by the Tenth District Democrats as
work of supererOgatiOn. Even without the
well known public record Of the County
Democrats on this question, we hardly needed
the passage of resolutions on the subject to
assure US that the conduct of the Tammany
men was in their eyes extremely reprehcnsible.
It went without saying that they disapprOved
the conduct of men whom they have been
fighting in conventions and at the polls for
several years whose political destruction was
the chief object of their organization whom
they had failed to entrap after considerable
dOuolc anu 'APchno Aoi D'lA', anu "hoSo 'otcs
had deprived them of the patronage and power
they had counted on. They did not need to say
over again that these men had forfeited by their
last acts all claims upon the Democracy. They
had said it before repeatedly, had denounced
them as Judascs and consigned them to political
oblivion. Why keep this up ut such trouble
and expensei Are they afraid tho public will
suspect them of willingness to condonel Or
do they continue to pass these resolutions in
order to keep their grievances in mind7 If
the latter, there may be some show of excuse
for it. But 40 far as the public is concerned,
they ought to be told that it is not necessary
