THE ANTI-rAhNAHYITEs.


There considerable speculation among the dele
gates last evening MS 10 What the anulalhnany con-
who failed obtain recognition IN the Conven-
tion intended do during the campaign The country
men, doubt had their own reasons for summarly
getting rid of them in the Committee Credentials and
afterward in the Convention where it expected
that at least one delegation from the interior would have
been found independent enough TO champion their
cause Certainly there must have been some peculiar
underlying influence which made everything harmo-
NOUS that not solitary voice was raised their be-
half In speaking yesterday about the matter TO
era Of the country delegates they declared that if the
door was once opened to contestants who could not,
beyond doubt, prove that they had better right
to seats in convention than those who
had been recognized the year previous there would be
no end to the troubles that would arise. The Beebe
resolution, adopted by the Convention just before its
adjournment is thought will go great way toward
putting end the dissatisfaction that arises when
ever one set OF delegates are allowed seats while
other SET being contestants are, as the antTammany


ties were this year debarred from that privilege Had
these contestants been admitted to the floor Thurs
| day well as the Tammany men, there would, un-
doubtedly have been great disturbance during the
debate that would have broken out on the question OF
regularity and probably disSracetu row lor II the
attempt OF contestant 10 speak in spite OF the
Chairman in OF the delegation in iull Convention
was sufficient TO excite such commoton as Mr. Shaer
did what would not have been the case had the entire
sxtythree contestants been admitted along with the
Tamrnany delegates? Simple justice and fair play de-
| manded that in default OF any fixed rules by which
| the State Committee could be guided as TO the
| point at issue both the regular and contesting
delegations should be excluded from seats in the Con
vention pending investigation into their claims AS IT
was certainly much better that the scene which
took place between Of the rival delegates during
the secret session of the Committee Credentials took
place where it did than in the Convention. The Beebe
resolution will prevent any wranglng and misunder-
standings hereafter as 10 who are entitled to seats as
the resolution provides that the delegations recognized
regular from all districts by the Convention yester
day shall the Convention be allowed TO partici
pate in the proceedings OF the Convention previous TO
the permanent organization and until the question of
their regularity is decided in the usual way But TO
probable Of the anti
during


have been informed by OF the most influential
members OF the contesting delegation which came up
here that like good democrats, they will support the
ticket provided they satisfied before election
day that IN their contest as TO Their regularity as
delegates Governor Tlden did not influence the Conven-
ton against them. There some talk among the
thoughtless IL is said after their treatment by
the Convention, Of calling upon all democrats in the
State opposed the ticket nominated to appoint dele
gates to convention to be held some time next month
for the purpose Of putting rival ticket in the field.
But this idea did take very well with the more
sibe contestants and was abandoned almost as
suggested However, the New York city anti Tam
manyies not yet done with Tammany by any
means and they intend to cross ances with her in the
| coming campaign by nominating county ticket TO be
run against Tammany's. There is deal in the plan
TOO, which, owing to the action of the Convention in
| nominating Mr.. Bgeow, republican, can no longer
be called treating with the enemy This deal will be
that the republicans shall indOrse all the anti Tammany
candidates for Recorder City Judge Coroner and Sur
rogate and that in return the nomination Of Benja-
min X Phelps for District Attorney by the republicans
will be ndorsed by them This information is entirely
trustworthy, and If hitch takes place in the pro
gramme before election day the deal will be of the
most serious obstacles which Tamnany will have
grappe with in dead This is certainly
serious for Tammany when il is taken into consd
Grafton that the aborers have not yet recovered from
the fit OF ndi gnaon into which they thrown by
THE REPUBLICAN HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS
appointed by Mr.. W Wickham One of the anti Tamma-
nyites after the adjournment of the Convention, in
versing about what he called the certainty Of Tam
manys defeat by the combination, remarked, with
merry twinkle in his eye You know OF the argu-
ments Kelly made against Creamer in the Commit
tee on Credentials why he should not be adj
nitted delegate that he had
aided In the election OF. republican Register in New
York city The voting for republican by democrat
is disoyaty longer, since democratic convention
has proclaimed the fact in nominating Bigelow, and If
the anti Tammany party indorse Phelps they are no
more democrats because they do so than Tammany
Hail. that consents republican being the head OF
the democratic State ticket"


And thus you will see that the anti Tammany
esants do not TO give up the ghost yet awhile,
and that their rather unpleasant visit TO this place dur
ing the week has only encouraged them TO renewed
effort against their formidable foe.
