Tammany proposes to descend In f0rce upon
the State Convention at Buffalo. Mr.. Kelly has
issued orders to that effect and steps have been
taken in each election district to carry out the
programme. off" said that eminent warrior
and statesman, General Francis B. Spinola, we
could roll into Buffalo with twenty -four crowd
sed palace cars, we would open the eyes of the
acountry Democrats" In his opinion they
Sought to take at least 1000 men," He is
undoubtedly right as to the effect OF such del
egaton. 1t would not only open the eyes of
the country Democrats but very likely close the
shutters of Buffalo taxpayers. We suspect that
General Spinoa himself would create no slight
sensation if he should aroll into Buffalo with
his topsails all set. Precisely what the 1000
Tammauy men are expected to do after they
sroll into Buffalo was not stated in the meet
ing at which the subject was brought up.
Part of their duty will no doubt consist in
marching in procession in full uniform
"plugn hat at an angle of forty-five degrees
over the right cheek-behind brass band.
That will DO sure to open the eyes of the
country Democrats. They will open their eyes
wider when the Tammany contingent begins to
drploy as skirmishers in the Buffalo barrooms.
and still wider when they set up a yell of APP
plause from the galleries of the convention as
Mr. John Kelly makes his triumphal entry at
the head of the Tammany delegation. Ocular
demonstration this will be that the process of
stunning the rascals out " has begun W here the
cry originated.
The representatives of the County Democracy
will be interested in the spectacle. 1t is two
years since the gentlemen composing that or
ganizaton had a great popular uprising at
Cooper Institute aud said by the mouths of
many impassioned orators and the declarations
of several yards of resolutions that "Tam-
many must &C." Mr.. Kelly himself now says:
aTammany must go-to the State Convention"
This is probably the nearest the County Democ-
racy will ever get to seeing the fulfilment OF
their threat. Reports from the several election
disticts showed that 455 patriots could al
ready be counted on to go, and it is not impossi-
bic that General Spiuola's figures will be reached
before the convention meets 1t must be
encouraging to the fre nds of free institutions
and good government to think that nearly
thousand earnest patriots can be fonnd In this
great city who willing to make the sacrifice
of money and time required to attend State
convention at so remote point. IL would be
very interesting to know who these gentlemen
are, what their occup atoms, their probable
motives and the actual amount of expense in
CURED in this patriotic crusade. 1t might add
great weight to their influence IL the ma IS of
voters, and especially tho "c0untry Demo
Gratis whom they are expected to impress,
could he informed concerning their names, an
tecedents aud present positions and understand
how thoroughly unselfsh they are.
q. f,r of
Buffalo Of all parties who have listened to
The Daily Parrots exhortaton to "Turn the
rascals out" to take at least one good look at
the intelligent countenances OF the thousand
or less representative reformcrs who are en-
gagged liz that enterprise. They are typical
Democratic reformers-the men who will
administer the Offices of the Government after
the rascals are turned out. Look at them
once. If that il not enough, listen TO them a
few minutes. Tamnany must go.
