Tammany Coming In.
THE FOURTEENTH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT
SOLID FOR THE DEMOCRATIC
TICKET.

The first meeting of any organiza-
tion in connection with Tammany Hall
for the purpose of ratifying the Chica-
go nominations was held Monday
night in New York city by the four
teenth assembly district Register
OReilly's). There was large attend
ance of members. Deputy Coroner
Messemer occupied the chair. Mr.,
O'Reilly explained the object of the
meeting, and said that it had been call
ed mainly to show that there was no
truth in the prevailing opinion that
had been industriously circulated by
some newspapers that were inimical to
the organization, that Tammany Hall
would not support the ticket nomina-
ted at Chicago. A motion was made
to adopt resolutions supporting the
nomination of the Chicago Democratic
candidates and pledging the associa-
ton to determined and enthusiastic
canvass in behalf of the candidates
The resolutions concluded as follows:
"Resolued, That we denounce as
traitors and unfit for association with
honest Democrats any person who
pretends to be such and who fails to
give to his party and the Democratic
nominees a generous support .,.r

a CANDIDATE TO uE JUDGED By THE
MEN WHO surroRr HIM.

MEN WHO SUPPORT HIM.
New YORK Evening Post.
Tho general willingness Of promi
ncnt citizens TO speak well of the Dem
ocratic ticket is very suggestive in
view OF the utter inability of the
Tribune to find any body excep,
Gould, Field, and Sage to come ou,
warmly in commentator of Blaine
and Logan. We do not observe that
any of these three has anything TO say
about Cleveland, but are willing TO
give the Blaine people the benefit
once more of what they said about
Blaine by reproducing it. Mr.. Gould
said
~ shall be perfectly satisfied with
the nomination. Blaine is live man,
and will be live president. There is
nothing dead about him. lie Is
abreast Of the times and never allows
himself to fall behind single step.
Arthur has done very well in the of
fee, and worse candidates might be
selected but Blaine is the man for the
office"
OF the same candidate Mr.. Cyrus
w. Field says: -
'Mr. Blaine is strong and able
man. He is one of the ablest men in
the country. The attacks on him will
not hurt him. They will recoil on the
people who make the attacks. Lies
always hurt the people who tell them. >
Of the same candidate Mr.. Russell
Sage says ........ t...
"Mr Blaine is the leading states
man of the age in this country, or in
deed, any other country. All this talk
about his aggressiveness is nonsense.
As president of the United States he
will be careful and conservative his
very responsibility will make him eau.
tious. am warmly in favor of him
and of his election ! have not the
slightest doubt
We commend these opinions to the
workingmen who are talking about
boiling Cleveland because he is mo-
nopolist candidate and about voting
for Blaine az the "workingman's
friend" yr.... r..s...f..0.... 20

In double-leaded editorial headed
Word to Mr.. MORRISON" the New YORK
World warns that gentleman that only
upon the SEYMOUR platform, or something
like II. can New York be carried by the
Democrats in 1884.

committee on which were JAMES A. BAY
ARD. of Delaware; WILLIAM j. ALLEN, OF
Illinois; GEORGE w. CLICK. OF Kansas
now Democratic Governor OF the State
WILLIAM PRESTON. of Kentucky; HENRY
C. MURPHY, Of New York; WADE HAMP-
roN Of South Carolina, and THOMAS S. Bo-
COCK, of Virginia.
II read rs to the tariff in these words:
ga tariff for revenue upon foreign I'M
ports, and such equal taxation under tnC
internal-revenue laws as loH GDOrd 'nc''
dental protection TO domestic manu- dctureS'
and as ,ritt, ,cithOut ,mparing me revenue
impose the least burden upon ana BEST pro-
mote and encourage The great industrial m
tereStS of the cOuntry."
Upon this platform. says the W0rtd
Governor SEYMOUR carried the state o.
New York over the patronage oil the AL

and the great military prestige Of Genera
