Cleveland. It recites that Tammany was loyal in the Tilden and Hancock campaigns to the democracy. Complaint is then madeot Tammany’s treatment ‘at Chicago, and of the unit rule that compelled Tammany’ deleg: ates to vote for @ candidate objectionable to them. But, the address continues, the candidates of’ the democratic party’ having been nominated Tammany acquiesces im the will of the ma- Jority, although believing that will to have been unwisely expressed. ‘Tammany cannot sever 11s connection with the democratic party. “The mis- takes of men,” says the adress, “cannot blind us to the beauties and immortal ‘principles of the democratic party.” It then refers to the release of Martin Koszta and theimprisonment of McSweeney, as showing the contrast between the politics of the democratic and republican parties with regard to naturalized citizens For the reasons set forth the organization is recommended to support the demo- cratic ticket nominated at Chicago, and a resolu- ton formally ratifying and endorsing Cleveland and Hendricks, and pledging them ‘Tammany’s support Was submitted.
