THE COUNTIES D1sGusTED WITH THEIR TREAT
NEXT AT sARAToGA-THE FEELING
IN KINGS COUNTY.
| o,ts,de OF the Tammany men there was no JuDila-
lion Yesterday among the delegates returning from
| Saratoga The County Democracy represcnua"VeS
sr, especially sore and dlsgruntled They left the
,a, h.sorc the convention adjourned and the mutter
ings Of disgust heard among them were deep anu III
| concealed Many of them declared that they "ouu
| p.vcr vote another Democratic ticket during Vheu
lives Few willing to discuss the circumstance
| connected with their summary exclusion run ~,,
convention but those who would talk about IL az al
said thai their treatment was the most lnpoho0 'ins
which Tammany Hall had vet been guilty o.
| at is glorious thing TO have giants strehslh
| saiA ono OF the Assembly district leaders, Dut
! tbcse Tammany men treated after the manner Oh
| brrtes. 1t a splendid opportunity lot inc us
| play of magnanlmity their part. They had con-
| troll OF the state Committee and OF the convention
and the exercise OF little common decency would noe
have been lost upon who felt we dld tnatWe"e0
in their power But what could you expect from men
whose whole political creed is plotting for the SPOTS
| OF onncel The most Of them below the ieVei Oh
| civilization. They preparing themselves LOT inc
most complete licking they got since the corrupt
cotere was organized Unless there is great change
in feeling before election day, many OF our people VIII
help give it TO them. The only thing that wiz olns
these fellows their is the election OF Fasse'
| and the Republican ticket
For obvious reasons, few Of the County Democracy
delegates cared to give public expression TO the SEN
| tments, but the leader who used the words quoOeu
undoubtedly represented correctly what most Oh ehc
| would like to say now. Some of the delegates are
nrcaohinr harmony and urging their oonreres to eat
| their crow in silence but it will not go down wltn
all OF them. The Executive Committee Will hold
meeting at the New-Amsteriam Club on Monday even
ing 10 determine what course the County Democracy
| shall pursue.
Ex,Judgc George NJ. Van Hoesen said yesterday
| IN a Tribune reporter: "The Democratic Con-
vention nothing more nor less than meet
ing Of Tammany Hall held at saratoga Ihe
same bosses ruled and the same methods were used
think it is deploEble, but in the end 1t may result
IN some good. There was time when cahdldaoe'
| went into convention surrounded by their HlchdS
and fought for the nomination. 1t was laudabe am
hilton but so far as this convention is concerned
croker and Murphy miF,t Just as well have held a
meeting By themselves in the bachwoods and declared
their men nominated.
Flower is not a Seymour, Tilden Dix or a
Hoffman, and yet he the only man In NeW-iorh
who for six weeks has had any reasonable show Oh
being nominated for the great Office OF Governor on
the Democratic ticket lie had gained the support OF
Tammany, and all Other candidates were rejected l
don't want 10 speak disparsgngy OF Flower but IL
| seems to me that Tammany Hall has sent the ONCE
begging Croker wants and has the complete patroh-
| AGE of the city Government. Murphy has tho conf
plete patronage connected with the canals, and all 1t
! implies by way OF privileges and places They nave
bonnd On the collar OF bosSism tight around the neck
of Flower that II he Is elected, his only chance OF
Communication means entire submission to their wishes
| 1t is the same way with the other candidates I'M
| submitted TO Tammany, and every appointment III
New-York city was dictated by Croker except tha1
of judge Pryor. and then Croker was lttle late IN
| Getting in his recommendations for another man.

nlouities of Tammayism, he dropped all reserve ana

the meetings Of Tammany Hall DO not KAo"
who the candidates for Office arc 10 BIO until ucy
hear some man speak who Is known 10 DO INC

submit willingly and blindly to the rule OF the losses
