Committee Organization met tonight and
John Kelly presided. The front steps and
pie long before 8 O'Clock. The first bust
ness of the meeting was the reports Of
district representatives. All the reported
voters stood ready to abide by the decision
Of the organization whatever tina tmight
be-. General Spinols offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That it be referred to a COM
mittee of one from each Assembly District,
to which the Chairman of this committee
be added, to prepare an address and resolu-
lions to be presen ted to the General Com
mittee for Its consideration, at o 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 nation upon the political
questions now before the country, as we'll
as upon the action and result Of the late
Chicago Convention, and that all motions
and resolutions in any way abiding to the
action Of said convention, or its candi-
dates, shall be referred to said committee
without debate. The resolution was re-
ceived with applause, and Senator Grady
was loudly called for. As he arose he was
cheered. He said: I rise principally for
the purpose Of saying to you that I have
taken no side in support of, or against any
candidate, nor will l take sides until
Tammany Hall, in its meeting of
the General Committee, has spoken.
| am involved in no deal, nor
am I engaged in transferring n other
vote than my own. l never was in the
market in a political campaign and l don't
propose to be there now. Ishall take sides
in this election of a candidate, as my no.
tons of honesty. manhood and sterling,
unsdulterated Democracy, dictates, and
maintain it as I understand it. The reso-
luton before the committee calls for the
appointment of q subcommittee to declare
Tammany's position. When that declara-
ton is made l shall try to show that those
who masquerade to-day under the name
Of Democrats have proved themselves
to be the enemies OF five millions of
men, who make up the party. l
have no desire to dictate here. I will
give before the General Committee the
reasons which sctuate my course. l will
follow to the far end, wherever il may
lead, the course I have begun, because l
began 1t for conscience sake alone. If
there be a man who forgives his enemies.
l am one who follows an enemy through
thick and thin, returning fire for fire, un-
til one or the other goes down. l have no
personal grievance with Gov. Cleveland.
/ shall speak from the record, and / will
ask to be ostracized from all decent soci-
ETY. if l cannot point to corruption stalk
ing TO the door of the Executive Mansion
and knocking at its door, and coming out
of the door with all that corruption
bought at the expense of the people. If
/ cannot prove that brides, known to fail
in the assembly in 1888. were placed 80
near Cleveland that if he does moi have
money he can get it at any time-if /
cannot prove that am not what I profess
to be. Grady was frequently interrupted
by applause. The resolution was unsni-
mously adopted, and q committee. COM
posed of district leaders, was appointed
and the meeting adjourned.
