At the meeting in their hall in New

General Committee. where was 10 be de-
cided the eOurse of that vast ~orgariza-
ton in the Presidential contest, most all
Of the prominent members were present,
the immense hall being crowded. Owing
to the illness of Chairman Nichols John
Kelly called the meeting 10 order. Gen
enl Spinola. Chairman of the sub-eom-
mittee appointed to draft an address to
the people, made his report. The ad-
dress, after reeiting the great services
which the TammAny organization had
rendered to the Democratic party. and
the local grievances of which it now
complained, concludes as follows: The
candidates of the Democratic party hav-
ing been nominated in the National Con-
ventioa, following the uniform and un-
broken record Of u organization. we
aequiesce in the will Of the majority Of
the representatives of the party, al
though we believe that will TO have been
unSiSely expressed. There is but one
alternative left US: To sever our son.
necuon with the Democratic party. This
We enno; and will not do. In justice
TO our constituents and our own judg-
ment, we cannot pursue that course.
We believe time will d~isconncct the great
Democratic party from the leadership of
the men who have used their power I'M
wisely and detrimental to its success.
We ncquiesce in, although protesting
against, the unwise and injudicious
course which they pursue. We say, with
John Q. Adams, that there is no good
government but what is republican, for
the republic is the empire of laws and
and not of men," For the reasons here
i'll set forth we recommend this ~organiza-
ton to support the nominees Of the
Democratic party for President and Vice
President, and submit; for its considera-
ton and adoption the following resolu-
ton:
ReSolred. That we, Democratic-rcpub-
licans, i'll General Committee of the city
and county of New York, in TamInany
Hall assembled, hereby ratify and in
dorse the nominations by the National
Democratic Convention, held in Chicago
July 10, lSSi-tor President, Grover
Cleveland, of New York; for Yice-Presi-
dent, Thomas 4. Hendricks, of Indiana
and hereby pledge ourselves 70 the
earnest and cordial support Of the candi-
dates so nominated.
In moving the adoption of the adj
dress, General Spinola said the country
must wheel into line.
Ex-senator Grady made n speech
against the resolution and declared him
self n Ben Butler man.
General w. b. Cochrane, the ublest
orator in the Tammany organization,
followed Mr.. Grady. 1t was expected
that Cochrane would also pronounce
against Cleveland, but the few kickers
were greatly disappointed in this. He
said: "There is a duty which every
Democrat has to perform at the present
crisis. He must subordinate his action
to the interests Of the party. No man
contended more vigorously against Gro
yer Cleveland than l did. No one on
posed more earnestly the folly OF passing
over in silence and indifference the he
roes OF the party, in order to nominate
n man who was forced upon the atten-
ton Of his party merely by the press and
a few refractory Republicans who had
never failed to express their adherence
Of our principles and their contempt for
ourselves. Had such n man as We
wanted been nominated, we would have
gwen him n majority such as we are
asked to give Grover Cleveland. But l
hear the cry Of distress throt Ihout the
country, and that cry calls us to arms for
the Democratic ticket. tChecrs.[ Tam.
many Hall is not an organization to be
governed by n feeling toward or for men.
1t is body OF principle. Beyond re-
venge lies patriotism. Beyond dissatis.
faction lies loyalty. Under these two
master impulses you will win. Tammany
Hall is the Old Guard OF the Democratic
party, and there she will stay. [Long
continued cheers, during which Coch.
rane seconded the nominations and sat
down.
The Chairman then ordered the Sec.
rotary to call the roll on the adoption Of
the resolution. The result of the vote
was $40 ayes to 81 hayes.
A committee was then appointed 70
