The ( liens Union will have to wal
two or three weeks longer before 1t gets
any reply to the circular sent to Tammany
II Ill sounding that organization az 20 the
possibility OF Tanmany joining In move
ment to secure the selection of O non-pa
t.zln municipal ticket. The general and
executive committees Of Tammany Hall
met last night, but at neither meeting was
any mention made of the Cts communica-
ton. Some OF the leaders of Tammany
have been in favor o sending reply to
the Cts pointing out to them that Mayor
McClellans administration has typifed
the best form of non -partizan government
and calling on the Gifts, if they are prepared
to practise what they preach. to indorse
the denomination Of Mr.. Mcclellan This
proposition WAS, however overruled, and
it was resolved that the Tammany general
committee should make no response TO the
overture of the Union until things have
developed further. As one Of the Tam
many leaders put it last night, There il no
reason why we should rush to begin pow
wowing with the Cts when perhaps the
result of the conferences would be that
we would only get a swift punch in the
neck when Mr.. Cutting and his friends

had found that they could not support
any OF the candidates proposed by Tam
many
| Another reason for the non-action last
night il that the heads OF Tammany Hall
| are not much concerned about what the
| Cts do. Col. McClellans denomination Is
assured and his election Is looked upon a.
certain and the inclination Of many OF
the big men OF Tammany Hall is to leave the
Citsto settle among themselves whether or
not they want to support or oppose the
winning ticket. There will be another
meeting Of the general committee early in
August.

| ing to Dust George W. Plunkitt. Both sides
have been asserting that they had the favor
Of Mr.. Murphy. One Of the purposes of
the meeting of the general committee last
night was to name the Manhattan and
Bronx meral ers Of The city committee,
which will have much to do in selecting the
men who will 60 on the city and county
tickets. The members chosen last night
from these two boroughs we're James j.
Martin, Charles F. Murphy, George w.
Plunkitt, Louis F. Haffen and Eugene j.

he had over thirty leaders to choose from to
fill the vacancy, Mr.. Murphy picked Plunkitt.

strife to be forgotten until a year when
there is not a Mayor to be elected
That the hint will be obeyed was strikngly
and even amusngly shown at last nights
meeting at Tammany Hall. In front of the
Fourteenth street headquarters scaffoldings
have been erected for the use Of workmen
who are redecorating. Just before the
meeting some of McManus's friends
marched down from the Fife enth dis
trct and nailed to the scafoid supports
portraits OF McManus and placards de-
claring that McManus was wanted for
leader by every Tammany man in the
district. When the executive committee
adjourned. and the word was passed round
that Plunkitt was to go on the city COM
mittee, those placards and portraits dis
appeared 80 quickly that they might have
been carried away by windstorm.
The only convention date fixed last night
was that for the Assembly conventions.
These will be held on Oct. 10. The call for
the primaries was issued. These will take
place on Sept 49,
