were received with applause and the names OF
Sheehan's enemies were hissed
After denouncing Goodwin and Smith tho
preambl cites number Of alleged acts Of OPP
preston committed in order to weaken shee-
hans strength in the district. It is charged
thet Fred Sullivan. an employee in one OF the
city departments. who had been laid of tenn
porarily. was informed that he would not be re-
instated unless he joined the anti Sheehau
movement. Mr. Sullivan. 1t Is said. went to
John +. Carroll and from Mr.. Carroll

sert Sheehan in order to get his
Job back. 1t ia charged that Thomas j.
Mulney. faithful Tammany man. was dis
charged summary because he refused to
desert Sheehan. Mulney has wife and five
children. Frank Tweed. an inspector in the
Highways Department. who refused to desert

who had n city Job. has also been removed.
James Barron. an employee OF the Fire De-
partment and James McShane. a corporation
inspector. were removed likewise at the behest
Of Goodwin and the other foes OF sheehan.
In the resolutions the General Committee OF
the district demand that they shall be free
from outside interference. and they denounce
Goodwin for his conduct in the municipal as
sembly and demand his resignation from that

and better fitted to discharge the duties OF
councilman than the present incumbent"
These resolutions were adopted with great
enthusiasm. Then John b. McGoldrick. he OF
the big voice. ex-c,erk Of the city court. in
which place he was succeeded by Thomas F.
Smith. an eX-clerk OF the Tammany Hall Gem

tack on Smith. who he said owed everything
he was to She"han. McGoldrck said that 10
amused him to hear that Smith denied that
Croker hafinsrrcd the fight against Sheehan.
