Resolved, That the Democratic General
Committee of the City and State of New
York do lay aside all past differences and
unite in common cause strong, aggres-
sve, resolute Democracy in solid phalanX
against the corruption of the Republican
| party, and we respectfully urge upon the
| National Democratic Convention, which
will meet at Chicago on the sth of
| July next, to select the candidate for
| President from our State. The great battle
| for supremacy at the coming cleo
| ton will be fought and the
issue decided in New York, and the his
tory of past campaigns has already shown
that this would be wise and sound Demo-
cratic policy.
Mr.. John Kelly was seen yesterday af-
ternoon by correspondent. "Tammany
Hall wishes, it seems, Mr.. Kelly, to have
q New York man nominated for President
by the National Democratic Convention"
said the reporter.
eyes" replied Mr.. Kelly, "we think
New York will be the battle-ground in the
coming great contest. This State will
decide the election. That is as p ain as
the nose on mans face. This being adj
mtted New York man should head our
National ticket We can make a better
fight for New York man than we could
for candidate from another State"
elias Tammany Hall any fayorite cam
didate?"
"Tammany Hall has no candidate and
will have none. You may depend on that,
whatever rumors or statements may be
circulated All we have said and all
we intend to say is that the nominee for
President should be citizen of this great
State. As | said before, the Presidential
contest this year will be decided. by the
electoral vote of New York. With a cam
didate from New York, am certain the
Democrats will carry the State"
"You say Tammany Hall has no cam
didate?"
"No, Tammany Hall does not care who
is nominated.
IT WILL SUPPORT THE TICKET.
The organization, however, thinks that
success will be assured by the nominal
tion Of Presidential candidate who halls
from this State. Tammany Hall does
not care who the man may be-Tilden,
Hewitt, Flower or anybody else"
Suppose Governor Cleveland should
be nominated?n interjected the reporter
eyes, Cleveland also. We will support
the ticket, no matter who is nominated
for President and Vice-President."
"How about the old ticket?"
"Well, know there is a strong feeling
evincing itself in favor of the nomina-
ton of the ticket of 1876. |, however,
think that out of the question, speaking
candidly. have not spoken to Mr.. Til

eyes, we will 30 to the convention by
q special train. 1t is much cheaper than
to go there on individual tickets. We
are not going there to raise any row or
make any threats. We will be there as
Democrats, either to take part in the
proceedings or to look upon them. You
know that national convention has al
ways an attraction for Democrats from
all parts of the country. However, we
will not shout for any special favorite."
"The organization will seek admission
to the convention, Will it not?"
"Speaking plainly, will say this: Tam
many Hall will send delegation from
this city to the State Convention, which
will select delegates to the National Con-
vention. If we are not treated properly
at the State Convention we will place our
grievances before the National Conyen-
ton. We will not use any threats or
raise any row. We will merely show in
as plain and as straightforward and truth
full way as possible how we have been
treated by our State Conventions.
There must be stop somewhere, and
at some time to the treatment
ACCORDED TO US
by these men who control the party in the
State. At the State Convention in Sara
tago in 1880, which met after the 1879
affair (aughing) was condoned as our
opponents were then wont to say, and
Tammany Hall was admitted on an equal
ity with the County Democracy, then the
Irving Hall party, what happened in the
following year, 1881, at Albany? Why
we were excluded altogether. That was
certainly not consistent with the action
of the Saratoga Convention of the pre-
ceding year, and Tammany Hall had GER
tainly done nothing in the interim to de-
serve non-recognition.
In 1882 at Syracuse we were accorded
thirty-two delegates. Last year at Buff
falo they gave us twenty-four delegates.
Now, while we do not wish to use any
threat Tammany Hall insists that its rights
must be respected. There is no disputing
the fact that Tammany Hall is powerful
organization. 1t has repeatedly in the
face of great odds shown it's strength.
1t does not propose to submit TO any more
i'll treatment. If the State Convention
does not give us the representation we
deserve, we will appeal to the National
Convention.

not give Tammany Hall any satisfac-

"Then Tammany Hall will support the
