ORAToRY IND HARMONY IN TAlH4NY


4 deugo Of oratory and Hood OF hlre"a'er
will inundato the Fourteenth Street NlgWahl
to-day. Tammany has gathered together a rare
collection of patriots TO recall lne memories OF
the Revolution, and to sound the praises OF inc
local Democratic politicians OF this era Couu
the members Of the Continental Congress be
restored to life, and be permitted To attend d
meeting of the General Committee OF ram
many Hal, they would undoubtedly he mucn
astonished, and they might even be forced TO
the reluctant conclusion that their laborS mad
been in vain. The patriotism OF the Iammany
of these times is like that of the immortal John
Hook. who went through the Continental camp
bowling for his beef. City patronage and city
plumber are now the inspiration and the aim OF
The braves and the sachen,, and great National
questions move them little. But shake fat
Office in the view OF Mr.. Cookers followers and
what a mad rush there will be-
Georgia will divide with New-Yorh the hon
ors of the occasion, as Senator Co!quitt and Con-
gresham Crisp hold the places Of especial dis
tinction among the orators. If Judge Crisp Will
fell his hearers what he thinks of the outlook for
the SpcakcIshp he will not fail OF eager at
tention. VOciferous Governor BigGs, OF Della
ware. will make the ceiling tremblc, while he
thunders forth his undying devotion to the
Democratic party. The Hon. George +. Roesch
may be expected 10 explain the causes of the
serious Steckler detection, and tell the tribes
men how he proposes to carry the Nth District
in tho face of so formidable an uprising. City
Chamberlain Grain will exhibit himself on the
nIatform rs an illustration of tho heights of
Ii fbnr
table Young man-eyen if extremely youth
fu-may attain in a very few years, II nc
only gets a start as a Mayors clerk. Tho
spectacle Of a S25, 900 Chamberlain of so ten
der years will make the mouths of the hungry
ones water. But they cannot fail to compare
the hcdging Grain, with bits of eggShcIl still
cnging to his downy feathers to the signing
Alexander. What worlds can remain for Grain
to conquer, when he is City Chamberlain ere
hardly his beard be grown?
The silver tongued Grady, Cochran, the
Chrysostom of Fourteenth-st., Senator Brown,
of the Krupp gun voice, the melOdious Eel
lows, the hopeful but bushing and timid
Flower, the irrepressiblo IIolahan, and many
another speaker Of unlimited vocabulary ana
untamed rhetoric will also smite the air OF the
Wigwam. Now, if the organization could have
secured the presence upon the same platform
of Senator Governor Hill and Of 4. +. Jones,
esq, it would indeed be a glorious festival. In
the absence of that nrvaed attraction, per
NIT the modest suggestion that a great recon-
citation act in which Commissioner Martin
shall fall upon Richard Crokers bosom, and
Mayor Grant shall fold John J. Scannell to his
heart Would raise hurricanes OF applause and
excite such tornadoes Of enthusiasm that the
Steckler Association would diSband monument
ly, the remains of the County Democracy
would disappear, and the Peoples Municipal
League would hasten to dig its own grave.
