PACKED IN THE INTEREST OF THE HALL
Commissioner sutro. VIII is ex-president Of the
German Amercan Reform Union. In speaking
Yesterday Of the way he resolutions hahih6
common cause with Tammany Hall were pushed
through the convention Of the Union at Maehner-
chor Hall on Wednesday night, said:
THE convention packed In the interest," oi
Tammany Hall There at least fifteen dis
trcts against union with Tammany. The mana
gers of the convention made it appear that ma
ioritv Of the delegates were in favor Of Tammany
Hall which was not the true sentiment OF the con-
ventIon. We do not feel ourselves bound by the
action Of the convention.
Oswald Ottendorfer yesterday referred TO tho
action Of the German American Reform Union IN
terms OF total disapproval He said: by i's IN
dorsement Of Tammany Hall last night, II the
facts are correct reported TO me. The Union mas
gone exactly against the principle when II ADOPT
ed at its inception The result Will be that II VIII
become a useless organization as power Tor re-
form 1t may result in it's permanent dlsorgani-
cation for its action leaves further reason ior
its existence The purposes for which 1t was
started have evidently been abandoned
"Will you remain in connection with tho
Union?'
No" was the reply. II cannot have anything
more to do with the Union. They VIII nave 10
naddle their own canoe now They will have TO-
go il alone / do not feel that can again any
myself With -hIs organization after its work OF
IN few months the work of years has been de-
stroyed Personally and through my aids l
have. done great deal of work to educate the
people up to the meaning Of reform. and to snow
them what good can be done by reform meas
ures Rrt the work OF Mr.. Roosevelt has dis
eusted them with reform, and they have given
the whole thing up"
TO SUPPORT THE UNION TICKET.
What ticket will receive your personal sup
port?"
"r shall give the union ticket my sup
mort and shall use my influence with the Ger
mans to do the same The situation is TO be re-
GREETED because last year and in years previous
the German American Reform Union has come
out strongly for reform and has done great
deal of good"
Gustav H. Schwab warmly commended the
proposition for forming new union IN WHICH
there was no Tammany taint. The time seems
now ripe for new organization, he said. oased
upon the principles OF the former one, but Without
those members who have joined Tammany. l
would be willing and ready to go into any new
movement II It were clean, and If the leaders
were such as feel could associate myself with.
"As for those men who in Convention yesterday
indorsed the Tammany ticket. they have simply
gone into Tammany Hall ana we are well rid OF
then, For the last few years there has been
certain number Of men who have hindered the
good work Of the German-Anerican Reform
Union and although am not member. say
Good riddance They have been the element
which has disturbed all good councils in the or
ganlzation"
Arthur Won Briesen said yesterday: Il am not
surnrised The onice-g -grabbers now control the
Union. All they care for is office. Their talk
about supporting the Tammany county ticket
account Of Tammany's position on the excise
question is absurd. What have the County Clerk,
the Register and the Judges TO do with the ex-
c,se law? How could the election OF the Tam
many ticket bring about any change in the law?
The excuse Of these men is preposterous.

NOT MOVING SMOOTHLY.
The campaign of Charles f. MacLean' whose
nomination for Judge Of the supreme court WAS
the alleged basis OF the Sheehan- -Ridder-Grosse
deal was not running smoothly yesterday News
OF disafrection was carried into Tammany Han
from many quarters. The friends OF Postmaster
DAYTON who was the real choice OF the organiza-
zion. were not rallying 10 the support Of the ticket,
and many Of them predicted disaster 10 the whole
Tammany outfit Then Mr.. MacLean's methods
