TAMMANY TALK.
New York Braves Meet
the IroquOis.
Geary's Action on the Wilson Tariff
Bill Bitterly Scored in
Resolutions.

Four Of the Tammany stalwarts who are
credited with fleeing from the wrath Of
enraged justice in New York presented
themselves to the IroQuois CLUB last night
and enjoyed lovefeast with the local
braves. The Tammanyites were Judge
w. II. Burke, T. Z. Crimmins, Abel
Crook and Commissioner James J. Phe-
Ian. They were introduced by Max Pop
per, and each said his little piece amid the
plaudits of his auditors.
Abel Crook. when introduced, confessed
that he felt like lamb going to the slaugh-
ter. I'm the East" he SAID, 1--WE think we
are strong. We have no fear of the future.
We lave had Illuminating series of cleo
ton frauds to which Tammany has not
been party. ANY one who knows our
ways knows that there is not much chance
of such frauds In the larger parties. Nc
Kane was not guilty of any crime, he was
simply misled. The Judge and Prosecuting
Attorney in those election cases are Tam
many men, and the result so far shows
there Is nothing rotten In TammaDy Hall.
The speaker disclaimed having left his
country for bis countrY's good, or that he
is going to Honolulu. Sold /. T.. Crimmins.
He asserted Tammany Hail had done
lots of good in the distress among the Door,
having raised and distributed $3.50, 900.
81 said the Democrats had lost the Senate
and Assembly 10 New York and the victory
was surprise to the Republicans them
selves, who had sent too many statesmen
and not enough politicians, with the result
that they were now quarreliDg among
themselves. He stated tnat BouTke Cock
ran had left them at San Antonio and gone
TO Mexico. Mayor Gllroy was left IN Los
Angeles and will not come to San Fran
cisco. The other two followed. speaking
constantly of the point that they were not
fugitives from New York justice. Phelan
said: 81 consider il an honor to belong TO
Tammany. where liberty is the watchword
and truth always prevails"
All four were elected honorary members
and an initiation was given for their Dene-
tit, Nj. NJ. Foote being the volunteer victim
of the ordeal.
The following resolution bearing on
Congressman Geary's action in reference
to the Wilson tariff bill, was adopted:
WHEREAS, The Democratic party after
years OF | Dor, has by It's unceasing campaign
OF education on the tariff question succeeded
in getting control OF The executive and legisla.
tive branches OF the Government; and whereas,
we believe the day is NEAR at hand when the
reward of such labor will be realized by the
enactment OF the Wilson tariff bill, when will
rebound TO the greaI good OF all the people OF
the nation, and particularly The laborlng
classes; and whereas, the Democratic party
expected that ali its representatives In Con-
gress would keep faith with the people and
adhere strictly to the pledges OF its platform
and the promises OF its leaders; and whereas,
certain Democrats In Congress. among them
Thomas j. GeaIy from the First District OF
this Sratr, voted against the final passage OF the
Wilson tariff bill; aud whereas, we believe II
was tn duty OF every Democratic Congress
man to use his Voice and his vote toward the
passage of said bill; therefore. be Ii
Resolved, By the IrOQuOis Club OF San Fran
cisco, that II denounces the action OF Mr.. Geary
and all other Democratic members Of Congress
in voting against the passage of the W lsOn
tariff bill as undcmocratic aud untrue 10 the
platform and pledges OF the party which elected
them.
Resolved Further, that MIR. Geary's action 10
voting against the great tariff reform measure
has created a serious doubt as TO the genuine.
ness OF his Democracy.
After some debate the club also adopted
this resolution:

California, has introduced bill-Senate bill
