LETTERS OF RESIGNATION.
TOmmany Big Iniun Gilroy will sweat blood
when he opens his letters this morning. Among
them he will find the following interesting COM
munlcations from three Of the braves:
Dear Sir: 1 hereby tender my resignation as a
member OF the committee organization ana general
committee Of Tammany Hall. Yours et9i ettTircv1rp
Dear Sir: I hereby tender my resignation as a

mttee. member Of the executive committee, and as
Hall. Yours. etc, CHARLES STECKLER.
Dear Sir: hereby tender my resignation as a mem
Der OF the committee on organization and general COM
''''~' u -''-"'i' '''"' 'O Louis srECKLER.
And Mr.. Gilroy, boss" pro TEN. in the absence
of Richard Croker. will probably hear at very
early hour that the family of Steclller is bound
to stand together. as the following communlca-
ton will show:
William II. Clark esq. Counsel to the Corporation
the Corporation for The cify Of SewY or the same to
'''' ''''' D-'"''1'''"' 'O Louis sTECKLER.
All the Tammany cheftains will put on their
war-paint and feathers when they hear the news
Carry the news TO Croker! The Stecklers and the
Stecker Association run the Xth District and have
been power in Tamlnany Hall. Alfred StecIler
has been civil justice for years. Louis has been
wel-known as corporation attorney. Charles
is the leader of the Xth. They have a following
Of about LOO men. members of the StecSler
Association, and the question that will agitate
Tammany is this:
How many of these are going to follow their
leaders and forswear the Wigwam?"
The Stecklers say that nearly all Of them will
go, and they probably will.
The trouble began when General Roger A.
Nvo nv fbo for fba
of Common Pleas The place had been promised
to Alfred Steckler. and his heart was cold toward
1ammany when he failed to get it. BY dnt of
much persuasion his wrath was appeased. To
concillate him Tammany promised that
he should I'll the next vacancy, SO
he sat down in his sackcloth and ashes
and waited. The next opening arrived when Judge
Brady died, and StccSier had great hopes. But
his aspirations were checked again.
Justice 1ngraham moved up and ex-Judge Gil
derseeve is sure to follow him, again cutting Off
Steckler. When Stecker saw how the wind was
blowing he called on the Governor Mr. Hill re-
fused TO see him. lie then went to James J. Martin
TO plead his cause, but the Commissioner turned
his back him. The last case of Stecker was
than the first. lie arose in his fury and
kicked over the traces.
George F. RoeSch, Senator from the With Dis
trict, of which the Xth Assembly is a part, fore
seeing trouble in the camp, drew up g petition
for reorganization Of the Xth, and secured the
signatures Of forty members Of the General Com
mittee of Tammany Hall. Two members refused to
sign it, Alderman Fegenheimer and Assembymam
SOhmcr. \ meeting was called. 1t was held yester-
day in Mr.. Giroys Office and every district except
the Xth was represented. A resolution was passed
that another meeting of the General Committee,
to take action on the subject of the reorganization
should be held on Friday night. At that meeting
a resolution will be submitted, the intent Of which
will be to place the subject Of reorganization OF
the Xth in the hands of the committee that
has had charge of the reorganization in the
XIVth District The members of this committee
are Frank 7. Fitzgerald, John F. Carroll, William
J. McKenna. William Dalton and Nicholas Brown.
1t is likely that the question of expelling or
disciplining the Stecklers would have come up at
the Friday night meeting, but the resignation of
the Steckers will take all the wind out Of the Tam
many sails While the meeting Of yesterday
in progress tie Stecklers were preparing their
farewell odes all of which were mailed last night.
with the clieftains in blissful ignorance of what
had been done.
Roesch will probably succeed Charles Steck-
Ter in the leadership of the Xth. What
the Stccklcrs will do is matter
of conjecture
Charles Steckler said last might: 50 The Steckler
Association saw fit some time ago to tender a
reception TO the second highest officer in the State
Lieutenant-GOvernor Jones. Certain leaders Of
Tammany Hall took objection to it, though heard
no protest until after the reception had taken
place My answer to the faultlndng was that
the Stcckler organization was 11adc up of free
American citizens, and that we felt that we were
at liberty at any and all times TO entertain any
worthy citizen at our clubhouse.
1t is queer" the retiring leader added, that
the organization did not undertake 10 discipline
the many members of the oraanzation who as
sisted in the reception TO the Lieutenant-Governcr
The Mayors private secretary attended, as did
also MrKenna, leader Of the With District. Senator
and Lynn, Judge Van Wyck and John Reilly
the leader of the XIVth District"
