by many Tanmany men. some five hundred OF
whom. from the various districts. will attend. to
give the show a good sendon."
That he can carry many Of the original
Greater New-York Democracy with him. though.
is not believed by any one. for many who have
not come out definitely with the boilers realize
what Sheehan himself doesn't seem to see. that
their only hope OF political existence is in fight
Ing Tammany- These men will be found with
the boilers around voting time
That Sheehan is afraid OF this seems evident
from the occurrences OF yesterday He would
say nothing save that the convention would Ill
out the ticket and that the split didn't
amount to anything. Credited to him last night.
however a shrewd trick There sent
to each newspaper typewriter statement pur-
porting to be issued by authority OF the mem
bers OF the executive COMMITTEES Of the Creates
New-York Democracy who revolted against thu
action OF John c. Sheehan and others. WHICH
declared that the convention tonight would %
packed by Tanmany men; also, that the seced-
ers would hold a meeting at the Astor Housd
at go this afternoon TO tndOrse Low Those
who could not attend were directed to send their
names to J. B. Gomez Last night John p
Kelly. one of the seceders. declared that this
statement was a fake issued by Sheehan
himself. to get hold OF the names OF the LoVe
men in the Greater New-York Democracy.
