sENcE OF THE LEADERS IN THESE cRITI-
CAL TIMES CAUSES PANIC AMONG
THE RANK AND FILE OF THE
ORGANIZATION.
1t would be difficult to conceive a more des-
perate condition of demoralizaton than at pres
ent exists among the Tammany Hall politicians
who have delighted in the past TO call themselves
the "Unterrihed Democracy Of New-fork'
Every day since the last election their courage
has been declining, their faces have been grow
ing longer and paler and their voices, once SO
loud and boastful. have been getting down 70
a pitifu whine. Few Of them had much life or
pluck left in them, and whatever there was Con-
gressman Dunphy'" bombshell of Saturday seems
to have completely knocked out OF them.
The absence Of BOSS" Croker paddy" DIV
yer and other big Indians from the reservation
had a disheartening effect upon the frightened
braves" whose principal work consists In
drawing nOrdnately large salaries from the city
treasury. The apprehension which has filed them
for the last four months Of losing the soft places
at the public crib visiby increased yester-
day by Mayor Gilroy's departure for the racine
coast. Why the Mayor should follow CroKers
e>ampIe and absent himself from his post In
such critical time as this was the SUBJECT
which occupied the minds Of Tammany men who
gathered I'm the several district headquarters yes

THE MAYORS DECISION MADE RIGHT AFTER THE

in political centres was that before siartihg Oh
