the Tammany Society on the evening
Of the 18th to take part In the first per-
formance Of John Kelly's entertaining
comedy, entitled Eating the Crow"
After some routine business the Chair
man called for the report OF the Com
mittee ON Organization. This was read
and, although very long document,
was listened to with great interest.
The conclusion that the Tammany
braves had decided to support Cleve-
land and Hendricks was received with
faint applause. The shortcomings Of
the head Of the ticket were specifically
related, and tho report was evidently
concocted to meet the general idea OF
party allegiance. There was 0 total
lack Of the enthusiasm which usually
obtains in Tammany gatherings, and
the Endorsement such as it was, was
perfunctorily made.
Ex-senator Grady spoke at consid-
erable length opposing the adoption Of
the report and the passage OF the con-
cluding resolution. The following Is O
full synopsis Of his remarks;
He said he felt the measure of his opposi-
ion 20 II would amount 70 merely protest
but he could not reconcile with tho gratitude
and affection which he felt for the Tammany
organizatio even the passive consent T. its
action which might be implied from silence
on his part at this moment This was the first
time he had ever placed himself In antago-
nism TO the Observation-Disclosures OF Tammany:
but II compelled to fall away from his side
now II was principle, self-respeet, and re-
gard for his country's welfare that combined
TO control his action. Mr.. Grady felt that the
position he was about to take would be
vindicated by the experience which the
party will have gained, and Tammany, as
well as the Democracy generally, would be
prepared TO concede that In the defeat of
Cleveland lay the last hope of the triumph OF
the principles which they had inherited from
sentlal in q candidate that he should be noml-
mated by the will OF the maJority-not the will
OF the majority who vote the other ticket
not the will Of majority secured through
cured through corrupt or selfish Influences,
not the will OF majority OF managers, but
the fair. untrnmmeled, unpurohased majority
OF representatives loyal and true to the con-
stituenciee BY whom they have been sent
Mr.. Grady went on to say that neither in
the nomination OF tho ticket nor In the meth.
DDS by which II was brought about was there
he slightest claim upon the great body of
Demooratic voters for lis support The great
majority Of the dslegntes 10 the convention

Democratic Convention held In years.
No one. argued Mr.. Grady, could say there
was any greater occasion than this for indie
pendence In the Democratio party Il could
q vote 70 give eject 10 the protests they
made In the convention. Mr.. Cleveland would
never have been Governor but for the SUP
port he received from Tammany, which saori-
need every claim 70 recognition In the impor-
y, and labored for his success In loyal and
devoted manner. Clevolan9's greatest boast
"a that after election his CHIEF aim was 10
treat Tammany with contempt and arouse It's
hostility "Hfs disreputable mouthpiece at
Chicago," said Mr.. Grady, pointed at your
