-COnrentiOn Dates Set.

Mr. Murphy of Tammany Hall. made speech
last night: not a long one that sounded
very virulent but it read Francis J. Lantry out of
the organization. At the meeting OF the executive
committee at which the meeting OF. the general
county committee follow. rehearsed Mr.
Murphy arose make few remarks
He said that the committee appointed year
or so ago to investigate Lantry knitting the ticket
two years ago had made its report yet. he
would suggest that John J. Harrinton, of the 18th
Assembly District. act in his stead as a member OF
the executive committee. No one dissented- Mr.
Harrington looked radiant, for even if he should
lose at the primaries next month it meant that Mr..
Lantry would get just the welcome in the
council smokes of the Wigwam that Mr. Devery
did-and more.
About the only business-so far as announced-of
the executive committee was to go through the
routine Of regular meeting and appoint Thomas
F McAvoy chairman of the campaign committee
As such. his chief duty for some time will be 20
pick twelve fifteen good "getters' to help the
good work along
Three things marked the meeting of the general
cornn1itee-the slinness of the attendance. the
functory cheers for Bryan and the reading OF the
official documents of Tom" Smith. He went
through the waste Of words like tornado. with
delivery that sounded like a phonograph under
forced pressure. which had slipped Its Governor
belt boot.
The meeting went through with the celerity that
makes Tammany meeting in hot weather pleas
to attend. John T. Oakley. who was really
enthusiastically applauded. called the meeting 10
order. Daniel F. Cohalan offered resolution that
the primaries be held September S. Adopted
unanimously. Various other resolutions were Of
fered and adopted fixing the dates Of the various
conventions. The Assembly District conventions TO
pick delegates for the state convention will be held
September u; the Congress conventions October
/; the Senate conventions, October q the Assembly
nomination conventions. October g. and the county
convention to nominate supreme court justice to
succeed Justice Leventrttt; Surrogate. and two
city court justices to succeed Justices Hascan and
Mccarthy. on October I. TIE meeting of the gen
eral committee to reorganize will be held on De-
cember %.
Then resolutions saying kind things about Mr.
Bryan and Mr.. Kern Offered by John F.
Ahearn. Mr.. BRYAN cheered in perfunctory-
way and Mr.. Kern got never a cheer. The resolu-
tton-of course it adopted-said. among other
things. that Tammany re-afirmed more its
devotion to true Jeffersonan principles. and con-
graduated the Democrats of the nation upon the
strong, clear and progressive platform adopted
Denver
It also indorsed and ratified the Denver nomina-
tons. and pledged the Wigwam's support against
organized greed and legalized plunder'
1t with pleasure the many signs of Demo
cratic unity and harmony throughout the country.
(which marked the intention OF the great mass of
the plain people put end the instability.
the uncertainty and the dread which the present
Republican administration had created.
There was more of It, just like this sample.
