The publication in the HERALD of all the facts in
reference to the very serious Generalization OF the
Tammany Hall organization in nearly every district
in the city has rendered all those who
yet adhere to the present Boss unusually
reticent. They appear to be afraid of commit
ting themselves in some manner. and yesterday
were careful not to either deny confirm anything
relating to the trouble the party. 1t seemed to
be understood everywhere that the strictes silence
was to be maintained the subject. and it said
that orders to that effect had gone forth from tho
most conspicuous man tn tho organization. Coroner
Richard Flanagan. who Is .. the head Of the revolt
against the present Aone power" regime was not
disposed to add anything his denunciations Of the
course adopted by the Tammsny leader in regard to
the Thirteenth Assembly district. At the proper
time. he says. he will mako strong fight against
being put under the heel. A very prominent
Tammany politician. who has long enjoyed repu-
tation for shrewdness. said to a HERALD reporter
yesterday that he had doubt whatever that in o
very short time the present Tamtnany leader would
find himself unable to WELD one-tenth Of the power
now possessed by him.
