whatever that might he. Then General
Spinola offered the following resolution !:
Resolved. That II be referred to COM
mittee of one from each Assembly district
ito which the chairman OF this committee
be added to prepare an address ard reso-
lutions to be presented to the general COM
mittee for its consideration at the meeting
to be held on Friday next, and that
such address and resolutions shall ex-
plain and define the position OF this
organization towards the Democracy OF
the State and the nation upon the
political questions now before the country,
as well as upon the actions and results OF

plause.
Maurice +. Holohan, clerk OF the Board
Of Alderman. seconded them. He main
tanned that Cleveland could not be elected
without Tammsny's support. He said that
Tammany had opposed Cleveand's nomi-

and man whose craftsmanship and
qualities as leader would give
give him supremacy as leader. Tam.
manv Hall is not ashamed OF its
position. II Is folly for the Democrats to
put much dependence in Republican disaf-
lection. Experience had shown that dis
affection amounted to very little on the
morning Of eIection-day. Still llolohan "a
vored the endorsement Of the candidates,
After denouncing the "Schurzs and Cur.
ti,es OF the campaign" he made an appeal
for the passage Of the resolution.
Speeches were also made by AssembIyman
Rusch and Colonel J. b. Hoskn. At this
point there were loud cries for ex-senator
