izing in all the boroughs. William Hepburn
Russell chairman of the executive committee.
said yesterday that all attempts by Lewis Nixon
and other Tammany men to stop the stampede
of former Tammany to the new organiza-

mend him to the confidence of young men who
want to associate with honest Democrats? He

the confidence of the rank and file of the Demo-
cratic party in this city. The present dissen-
sions in Tammany afford opportunity for our
organization which have improved Mr.
Sheehan will never go back into Tammany Hail.
and Croker knows il. The Greater New-YOrk

come pretty near disintegrating that ancient and
somewhat dishonorable organization"
