.nsoles. A few moments after Tammany's al
sence had been noted, William PurcelTs letter was
real resignng his place on the electoral ucke'.
1t was ACKNOWLEDGED that the virtual
declaration by such leader Of the lrish-AmeIIcan
population as Mr.. Purcell that he could not

deemed policy to fill his place # possible with
q representative Of the same class of popu' a'ion
The name, of Senator Herman, OF Utica; Patrick
Barry of Rochester. and Eugene Kelly and
Henry L. HOgu-L of New-lork, were con-
tidered. Finally Eugene Kelly, the banker, was
selected The Executive Committee was author
lied to adj two persons t. lis number not now nem-
bers of the committee. Hubert O. Ihomps II, who
made the motion, said that an executive committee
could sometimes be strengthened by such addi-
tious, and he only regretted that larger num-
Der of persons could not be added.
The committee listened to statements for an hour
respecting the condition Of the Democratic party in
The several Congressional districts 1t was stated
that there was serious di>aiicct0n among the WOIE
ing people over tine tariff plank OF the Democratic
platform.
THE COMMITTEEMAN DEPRESSED.
Maurice J. Power, who appeared as a proxy for
Edward Cooper said aftelward: "Our affairs do
not look entirely sunny. There is considerable
kicking anon. the working people Tammany is
not yet reconciied, and We do not know what
Butler is going TO DO"
Asscmblyman Cotey, Of Brooklyn, who was
chosen a member Of the Executive Committee,
SAID: Il do not believe that Cleveland will get a
large majority IN Brooklyn Most Of our people are
TO sauguinc. Moreover. don't think we are gain
ing votes by Bcecher and Curtis com
ing over to us. Every one knows that
they are free-traders Soon every one Will be say
ing that we TOO are frcc-TadcTs, and that will hurt
Is badly. | sometimes think l}eecher and Curtis
came sOYcr TO us Just to hurt u.s.
Senator Van Nchaack said: " There are some
lr>hmen in schoharc County who do not Ike our
ticket and we are looking toward NcN-lork city
With great deal of anxiety
John l.. Barry, Editor of The OswfJo IdHddiam,
sand: There IS the same division among the Demo
Cats OF OSwego COun that has existed for several
years. Many are opposed 10 Cleveland, but we
hope TO Subduc the revolt The same statement 5
regarding Democratic GIsditectOn were repeated 10y
hermembcrs of the committee who decline 10 per-
mt their names TO lie published saying that any
fTalKucsS on the subject would hurt them

week. Probably the Holman House viii be
chosen.
