————— KINGS COUNTY RATIFICATION. | Tremendous Popmlar Ouiburst and Eudorse- ment of the Coalition Ticket, Mass Meetings at the Academy of Music, Brooklyn Hall and on the Streets. Speeches of Francis Kernan, Generel Kilpatrick, Chauncey Bepew and Others. ‘The nren of Kings county who have banded to- gether and pledged their determmation to move Serward upon the ramparts. of the administration wander the standard of the Chappaqua Woodchopper, ‘the self-styled ‘“‘caadidéte of universal amnesty,” marsbaljed jn vast pumbers in Brooklyp last night, ‘The political, managera of the regular democratic ‘and liberal repubjican general organizations put forward their united strength in this their first grand.effort to. impress the non-office-seeking and mon-ofice-holding community that this is an issue of principle, in which all honest men favorable to good government and opposed to “the present cor- rapt administration” should at once enroll them- elves under the coalition Greeley and Kernan flag. The sight presented to the view ofthe close @bserver of political lines in Kings county. was certainly in keeping with the sentiments of the white-hatted candidate for the White House, who “believes that parties ought to rise, flourish, decay ‘and pass away.” Never before within the memory ef the most green-mouldy resident of Brooklyn have 80 many prominent agitators of adverse political docttines met to shake hands across the sganguinary chasm, which may be said to have been fairly bridged by the engineers who drove the plies Which support the Cincinnati platform. Life- long party opponents were to be seen exerting their utmost power to promote the same end, to reach’ the same goal in November next, fighting | shoulder to shoulder in, one grand cause, from which Farmer Greeley, the renowned agricultural ‘uthority, ond Francis Kernan, the democratic eandidate, dre supposed to derive the beneiite, which they, in tur, will distrinute among their faithful followers. Certain it is that the republi- cans who fell, not from grace, but from Grant, vied with their Baitumorcan-anti-Bourbon-democratic fellow-citizens' upon this long-to-be-remembered Occasion in loosening their purse strings to defray ‘the cost of the grand, noisy and enthusiastic de- monstration which took place in the City of Churches last night. The doors of the Academy of Music were thrown open shortly after seven o’clock, which was the ‘ignal for a grand rush of the unterriffed, who as- sembled even at that early hour without. Pell-meil down the aisle rushed the advanced guard of the ‘vast audience, which subsequently thronged the fine building literally from pitto dome. The front seats were secured by the early birds, among whom were afew of the gentler sex. The Twenty-third Regiment Band in the orchestra then proceeded to hammer a@way with might and main upon kettle and bass drums and to blow their wind instruments until those who were nearest them fairly groaned he- neath the fearful tax or strain produced upon the organs of sound. Upon the stage were seated the vice presidents and secretaries of the mass meet- ing—men of might and self-importance, who are supposed to carry great weight with them upon all such pubs local occasions, The scenery was arran; 80 as to represent the Chappaqua farm, in which trees, with branches artistically cropped, ‘were the most prominent feature. In the back- ground stood forth in gilt letters the motto :— AP AON LOADED OER DENED EE CHARITY NEVER FAILETH.

Mr. KERNAN, after thanking the meeting for the frindly greeting, which he knew was contributed to ‘the cause which he nad the honor torepresentrather than throngh any compliment to himself, said he ‘wished to ask their attention as briefly as he might to some two or three questions which were in- Pook team men in canvass, and which he believed would be decided in accordance with the best wellare of the people of these United States. First, he submitted that the American people had just’ grounds of complaint as to the manner in ‘which their public irs had been administered during the o past ‘one or two years, Those at present adi ig the federal government came into power four years after the rebellion had. been “crushed out and all armed opposition overthrown. ‘They came into power at a time when every dictate th when every motive of seli-interest we should ve real amnesty, real , Teal gp and real concord among tie | ae of the North al hin people who uth, (Applause.)

(Cries of ‘That's so”? and cheers.) Democrats who were beatenin 1968 asked that there should be areturn to jntegrepess from republicans who put General Grant in power they had a right to exact that there should be a pure and honest administration of the government. Mr, Kernan asked if there had been thorough, honest reform in the New York Custom House ?. (A voice, lo, sir.’”} Had there been honest reform in New Orleans, where & republican committee showed that a mere officer of the federal government _intet in State matters and dragooned with Gatling ane and United States soldierg the very republicans who wanted to have a voice in Louisiana. Such was the indignation that.he ned; but, nevertheicss, he (Casey) is still there. We had men controlling this administration crushing out independent re- eculcens of their own party and maintaining hemselves in power and enriching unscrupulous Rides it was for the le to say whether hey would have the same administration and the same policy that must continue for four years more if the op) ition candidates were elected. They would find that this election could not be carried by dragooning States like North Caroling and appealing fo party: prejpdices in the North, These men would say if they succeeded, “Why, the American people sreeeve your policy.” This government conld meet entire world in arms, but it could not stand long if corruption, self- ishness and narrow partisanal prevailed. He submitted that there would be no reform of these abuses if the present administration was continued by the election of the ition candidates. Their surroundings are such that the powers of th@ gov- ernment had been perverted to the he had spoken of, and they did not ‘The; there any | reform, up and ‘was no corruption. We know that these reforms willnot be ponent of after election unless they were inaugurated before it. Mr. Kernan alluded to Sen- ators Sumner, Trumbull and Schurz, who spoke out st the abuses in the Senate, and were abused for trying to bring the government to its old honesty, patriotism and int ity. He appealed to those who were in favor of.General Grant to give an honest vote in favor of what they believed to be their daty, and if the; that would vote for the prin: in’ thé Cincin- jatform which was affirmed at Baltimore. (App! ase.) ner ILPATRICK Was then presented to the audience and was received with applause. He said he had had the pleasure of speaking in the Academy of Music eight ago for Abraham Lincoln. He had also spoken, he was sorry to say, in this building for Ulysess 8. Grant, and he would never feel satisfied with himeelf until he could lend his voice to applaud the election of Horace Greeley in November next. He then proceeded to speak of the war through which he had peated, and had established the Union of States as firm as the ever- lasting foundation of hills. The freedom of slaves ‘was no lo! to agitate the minds of men. The issues of slavery are of the dead past. But we must not lose sight of the fact that when the danger had passed men were not wanting to try to Keep alive these departed issues of the war for personal, selfish en We are it that alle- pene to General Grant is essential to the mani- station of loyalty to the constitution on our part!

The earnest protest of an indignant peo) comes up from every section of the land.

Henry Wilson was a Know Nothing in 1854. (Hisses.) We are told that he was “born in extreme poverty, having eaten the bread of charity,” &c. The speaker quoted from sentiments of Mr. Wilson in 1864, Mr. Wilson was put on the ticket because he is a Know Nothing; and as there is a Know Nothing at the head of the ticket, they had to put a Know Nothing on the end of it.

The “blecay chasm,” and the hundreds of thousenaé of brave boys sud the mil- lions of public treasure which were thrown into it, Were depicted by General Kfipatrick, who then ave his reason for allying himself to the cause of fionest government, as represented by Horace Greeley. He waxed eloquent over the ant Southern soldiers whom he met at the Baltimore Convention. They should win solid peace and a real unton—a union of hearts and a union of hands between every man, woman and child through- out the length and breadth of the land. ‘The rebels to-day above the ashes of their once happy homes to-day stretch out their hands and ask for mercy. Will you refuse them? (Cries of “No.”) I know you will ‘hearken to them, for the brave are ever generous. ‘The next speaker was Chauncey M. Depew, who arraigned the policy of General Grant, as did the Eigovar gpeakers, and contended that he is to- ally unfitted for the position he has held as Chief wacittrate of the United States during the past ir years. weapseones were also made by Joseph Stewart and } jor Haggerty, after which the meeting ad- journea, At Brooklyn Hall. There was a large and enthusiastic meeting held at Brooklyn Hall, in Myrtle avenue, near Fulton street. Previous to the organization of the meet- ing a fine network banner, twenty by thirty feet» having the likenesses of Greeley and Brown and surmounted by an eagle and shield, was raised in front of the hall, amid the shouts and cheers of those who hi hered to witness it. The meet- ing was then called to order by Mr. Reed, who proposed as chairman General Slocum. This met the approval of the assemblage, A.J list of we prentents and secretaries were then read and adopted. REMARKS OF GENERAL SLOCUM.

Democratic Headquarters. ‘The importance. of the forthcoming State elec- tions in the three great Nortnern States of Penn- Sylvania, Ohio and Indiana, has very generaily called public attention from that which takes place in Georgia on the 2d of October. An entire State ticket, with the Governor at its head, is to be voted for. The Greeley gubernatorial candidate is the Present incumbent, Hon, James Smith. The result will be regarded as indicating the current of popu- lar sentiment in the South. Advices from there show a.good deal of ap:thy, owing, to the defection of General Toombs and Alexander H. Stephens, but Smith’s election is predicted by over twenty thou- sand majority. Letters from Pennsylvania state that a thorough canvass shows that Buckalew will come to Phila- delphia with 20,000 majority. He is supported by most of the papers in that city, but great fears are entertained, as is said, of the machi ons of the radica! there. A quiet movement is reported golug on in Philadelphia to bring about the with- rawal of Hartranft and Allen, but Cameron ob- jects. Ex-Governor Bigler having declined the nomination on the general ticket for member of the Constitutional Convention, the liberal committee have substituted Andy Curtin, who, it is under- stood, will accept. He will write a letter in a day or two defining his position in the pending can- vass, Itis belieyed his defection from the Grant ticket is worth 10,000 votes to the liberals, as he is by far the most gootian man in Western vennsyl- vania, The following distinguishea gentlemen have been invited by the committee to take part in the Pennsylvania campaign:—Horatio Seymour, Governor Hoffman, ex-Governor Bradford, Mary- land; W. 8.

There has been considerable agitation during the past few days in reference to the probable candidacy on the reform side for the Mayoralty in the ap- proaching Fall election, a large amount of the ex- tra interest being centred in the fac tage puch prominent names as those of Charles O'Condf, Alexander T. Stewart, Robert Lenox Ken- pedy and iyi oe F, Havemeyer e! brought forward through the to the consideration of the pe the sovereign electors. Mr. O’Conor has already full: and squarely declined to have his name considered, t least with his consent, in reference to the can- didature, and Mr. Alexander T. Stewart may now be ranked as next on the list of peremipey declin- era, Mr. Stewart yesterday expressed to a HERALD representative his desire that his name should be in no way considered in connection with the Chief istracy of the city, on the general ground that he could not think of attending to the functions and duties of the office, which bas grown to be one of very exacting pore a Ban ves ‘ wil? most People thé declination of Mr. Stewart fot convey any particular surprise, when the vastness of his business concerns is taken into con- sideration. To manage such a business as his is on enough for one man to do, and to discharge the functions of the Mayor's office will take about all the time and exhanst the energies of another. ‘Therefore Mr. Stewart is not to be considered a candidate.

A number $7 German property owners, Rhine Wins merchants and saloon keepers held a meeting last evening at No, 228 Third avenue, for the pur- pose of forming an organization for the Twelfth Assembly district to support the re-election of Judge Bedford to the office of City Judge. A tem- orary organization was eifected by the election of ir, G Clemens, chairman; and, on motion of Mr. Frederick Repper, resolutions were passed by @ unanimous vote declaring that the Hon, Judge Bedford has fully realized what they expected of him as an impartial Justice of the Court of General Sessions, and resolving, In order to retain his valuable services in that position, that they will exert themselves by evcry avaliable means to insure his renomination and ultimate re-election, The Fourth Ward Out for the City Jadge.

Receptions at Waverley, Elizabeth and Newark. A Splendid Ovation at the Newark Industrial Exhibition—The President's Speech—A Grand Serenade and Torch- light Parade. General Grant left Long Branch yesterday morn- ing, on the steamboat Jesse Hoyt, about ten o'clock, and arrived at New York about half-past twelve o'clock, whence he proceeded to Jersey City. On his arrival he was met and greeted by a host of friends, prominent among whom were Colonel John Kane, ex-Governor Ward, of Newark, and Mr. Amos, Olerk, of Elizabeth, N. J, AS soon as it was understood that the Preai- dent had made his appearance upon the wharves, crowds of spectators assembled to get @ pasa- ing glance at him, and no small share of en- thustasm and excitement was manifested at either side of the river. IN JERSEY CITY, previous to his taking his seat in the cars, there was a continual waving of hats and considerable cheering. He left there on*s special train for Elizabeth about @ quarter to one o'clock, and arrived at the Elizabeth depot about half-past one, His arrival being anticipated, @ large concourse of people were already col- lected on his arrival, and cheered him very fre- quently during his stay, which was only for some minutes. He then left as the guest of Mr. Amos Clerk, in an open barouche, for the residence of the latter gentleman, about one mile distant, ® large number of carriages, phactons and wagons accompanying him in the rear, General Grant dined at Mr. Clerk’s at two o'clock, with quite a number of his friends and recent ac- quaintances, among whom were Mayor F. B. Chetwood, of Elizabeth; Colonel John Kane, Hon, William Kinley, John A. Wilson, Comptroller Henry Aiken, Easton Marson, of Plainfleld; Senator Bettie, of Camden; David H. Pierson, Jacob Sable, Jacob Davis, Moses and Harold Carey and other free- holders of Newark and Elizabeth. The stay at Mr. Clerk’s villa was apparently a very pleasant incident of the excursion. The lawn was thronged with carriages of every description. A large number of ladies were present, to whom General Grant was formally introduced by Mr. Clerk. At half-past three the assemblage of guests made quite an imposing turnout as they began to start for the great State fair IN WAVERLY. The winding road which led from Elizabeth to the acene of the fair was in a very bad condition. The heavy rain of Wednesday night had penetrated the Jersey loam so deeply that the Presidential car- riage was plentifully bespattercd. Passing by the Evergreen Cemetery the General took oc- casion to admire its location and neatness, Waverly was soon reached. The gates entering the fair were besieged by all kinds of visitors, from the éiWe of the neighboring districts down to the lager beer, candy and peanut vendors, “THRER CHEERS FOR GRANT.’? was the first greeting on the arrival of the Presi- dent. His team was then driven round the horse track twice at a rather slow pace, which gave the corwd an opportunity of shaking his hand, doffing their hats and bidding him acordial welcome. After alighting from his seat in the carriage, the General was taken to the judges’ stand. Here he had a good view of the racing, in which he seemed to be greatly interested. When asked by the HERALD reporter how he enjoyed it all, he re- plied, “Very well, indeed. This is @ beautiful place for trying horses, and on the whole there seems to be very good trotting.” This place being about the only quiet corner into which the President had yet been ushered the HERALD re- Map’ ire once availed himself of this opportunity st. “General,” said he, ‘what do you think of the litule State of Jersey?” “1 think she shows a spirit of great enterprise and economicai dealings, but this is the only op. portunity, 1 have had, sir, of being able realize it.” “Ex-Governor Ward has been nominated for Con, man ?” “Oh, yes; and | think he is a man fit for any po- litical position the people may elect him to.’’ After remaining about half an hour in the judges’ stand the President visited the diferent tents— first the horticultural, then the machinery and carriage departments—expressing his ‘ plea- sure at the appearance which each pre- sented. He was then driven quietly down to the Grand Stand, where upwards of a thousand spectators were assembled. Here a few passing friends came tb shake hands with and speek to him, and suppressed cheers were occa- sionally given from the stand. Mr, Amos Clark was frequently mistaken for him, and his hand as often unavoidably grasp:d, mi Cental Rynders’ colt Aberdeen was then exhib- ed. IN NEWARK. About five o’clock the fair managers turned over the President to the care of the Industrial Exhibi- tion Managers from Newark.

On his arrival the President was at once conducted to the ladies’ room, where were gathered a large number of leading citizens of New- ark and other arts of New Jersey, besides the officers and managers of the Rink. He was formally welcomed to the Exhibition by Presi- dent Ward in a short speech, in which the latter expressed the hope that His Excellency wouid be pleased wit! the display made — by Newark of her own wares—the first city on record, he believed, which had attempted and succegded in so great aud novel an under. taking, pr te kee Mae TS “- "PRRIDENT GRANT'S SPEECH. In reply the President speke as follows :— Gextuxwen—I am most happy to be here to-night to wit- ness this display of Newark's manufactures. Your far- famed city has done well; her manufacturers have an influence opposed to the Importation of foreign manu- factures. Some applause followed the President's speech. Mayor Ricord, in behalf of the city, extended a warm greeting t6 the President, and then the jaitef went through the ordeal of shaking Nands with and being introduced to everybody present, to the number of over one hundred. These in- cluded Jawyers, Assemblymen, Aldermen, clergy- men, editors, doctors, reporters and others. Then came A TERRIBLE TRAMP. A large squad of police, led by the Colossus, Chief Geasby, tried as beat they could to clear a passage, and the President, sapported on either side by Mr, Ward aud Mayor Kicord, started ona tour of the exhibition. In the main buitding he could see noth- ing, aa the cases and show stands were completely obscured by the crowd on either side. The trio were followed by a long procession of specially invited guesta an committee men. As the President passed each point he was warmly greeted by the ladies with waving of handkerchiefs and the men with cheers: but it was noticeable that no general outburst of enthusiasm was elicited. Still the ovation was a splendid one, and the recipient and his friends have good reason be proud of it, About half-past nine o’cloc! the President left the Rink in Governor Ward's carriage, and was driven to his host's residence, where a grand political demonstration greeted him. In front ten thousand people thered and @ torchlight procession of several ousands filed past in front of the Ward Mansion. General Grant then made the following speech of thanks, the longest perhaps in which he ever indulged since he became a General :— GRANT'S SECOND SPEECH.

Race Between the Madeleine and the Rambler for the Challenge Cp. A Fair Start, but. Light Wind—No Jnages on Board Either Craft-Fall Particn- lars of the Start. ON BOARD YACHT. MADRLRINE OFF BRENTON’S RegP, Sept. 19—8 oh.} Newport harbor looked pretty quiet this morn- ing, as the only yachts in harbor were the two con- testants for the Commodore's Challenge Cup and the Vesta, Resolute, Palmer and the steam yacht Emily. There was CONSIDERABLE EXCITEMENT on shore last night relative to the ocean race, ‘and betting was pretty lively. It is hard to say which yacht was the favorite, as each had its admirers; but it was generally conceded that the Madeleine would win in ordinary falr weather, while, should they get caught in the equinoctial, the chances of the Rambler would be at a premium, THE WIND. At daylight this morning there was hardly a breath of air afloat, but about eight o’clock A. M. a slight breeze from the south-southeast came rippling over the water, and the clear sky to windward gave every appearance of fine weather, There are NO JUDGES on board either yacht, as Mr. Forbes was unable to obtain a gentleman to act in that capacity. Com- modore Voorhis waived the question, and they agreed to sail without judges, each being satisfied that the, other meant tc sail a samare,, talk ard race. Captain Steve Gardiner is on the Madeleine as pilot, and she will be sailed her regular lolonel Rose, with by in, OC the ordinary crew. The Madeleine has apout four tons extra bailast on board. Mr. J. M. Forbes and his son are both on board the Rambler, and they Reve @ crew of about twenty men. Both yachts gan MAKING SAIL shortly after six o'clock, and in about an hour's time the Madeleine weighed anchor, and stood out by the upper entrance under main and foresail, working maintopsail ji, Srng jib and forestaysail. The Rambler started it twenty minutes after- ward, under the same canvas, substitutti a big club topaall for the worki topsall carried by the Madeleine. Going out past the Dumplings the Madeleine set her main club topsail, The yachts arrived off Brenton’s Reef Lightship about eight A. M., breeze from the southeast by south, with the tide on the last quarter of the flood. It had been ar- ranged that the yachts were to make A FLYING START and have their time taken going and returning by the keeper of the lightship. Commodore Voorhis was out in acatboat to see them off, being unable to go with the Madeleine, Orne to sickness in his family, which necessitated his return to New York to-day. The Madeleine arrived of the lightship first, and lay to with her jib to windward, waiting the arrival of the Rambier, The sky was now a little overcast and it was looking a little dirty up to windward, with a light sprinkling of rain. The Rambler finally came up, under main and foresail, ren club topsail, jib and fying jib and fore stay- Ball. and found a fresh THE WEATHER. In the opinion of the pilots the wind did not look like lasting from its present quarter and they an- ticipated a shift to the southwest before night. At 8:10 they hoisted a color on board the lightship. At 8:14 they ran the burgee to the Madeleine’s main- top, as & signal phey were ready to go, and they then made a stretch to the eastward. ie Rambler stood about three miles to the southward, and at 8:20 went in stays and headed back to lightship. The Madeleine then made a stretch to meet the Rambler, and, tacking to her wake, both Fhe stood for the lightship. The breeze was still she nlag and it looked like making the run from lightshtp to lightship in about eleven Ring) tL) it held strong. At 8:45 lowered color on lightsnip. The Madeleine lusfed sharp round and made a short shift to windward, then tacked and crossed the line, light bearing northwest, at 8:47. The Rambler followed about three minutes late: ART MATTERS. The Opening of the Exhibition Season. The favorite art gallery known as Goupil's will be thrown open to the public to-day, when a number of the masterpieces of European and American art will be placed on view. The opening, however’ is but a preliminary one, as a large collection of works by the most eminent masters is on its way and will be formally presented to the public at the end of the month, on the occasion of the regular inauguration of the art season. The great merit of the works which will be seen by the public for the first time to-day gives indications of the unusual brilllancy of the coming season in the painter’s and sculptor’s art as well as in music and drama. Blaise Desgoffe, Bouguereau, Eugene Isabey, Comte Calix, P. A. Cot, Sandelie, Lesrel, Backalowitz, Castiglione, Emile Béranger, and our own Moran and Johnson, contribute to the exhibition. Such an array ofnames is itself suill- seal) to assure the public of the good quality of the works. “THE RETURN FROM THE HUNT,’? by Eugene Isabey, is the gem of the collection. It represents a party of ladies and gentiemen in the picturesque costumes of the sixteenth century just returned from the chase. In contrast with the con- fusion of the scene a young lady 18 seated tranquilly in the rade hall receiving tne homage of the younger cavallers, There 13 a certain air of abandon about the seene which ts full of naturalness, The various groups are well composed, and the figures boidly and freely drawn with the assured touch of a master. It is strong and brilliant in color, and the management of light is at once broad and effective. “ECHOES FROM THE OCEAN’? is full of charm and simplicity, like most of Bonguereau’s works. A young child is listenin: to the murmuring of the wind in a large sea she! which her elder sister holds to herear, The ex- pression of pleasure and astonishment on the child’s face is painted with that charming sym- athy with child life which is so distinguishing a feature in this artist’s studies, The painting of the flesh and the modelling of the form are remarkably truthful. There is more of @ story in this painting than we usually find ir the artixt’s pictures, fies OF sRT. painted by Blaise Deagoffe, is one of the most sur- prising studies in still life we have ever seen. It is painted on a sca;e seldom Ley by this artist, who for the most part is sparing of his canvas, Bronze figures, crystal vases and carved ivory cups are grouped in admirable confusion and painted with a deceptive power absolutely startlmg. As an example of manipulation these works of Des- goffe are without rival in the whole range of modern art, and are equal to the best examples the old masters have left us, There are crystal vases on the canvas that almost persuade us to believe that they are transparent, while the opac- ity ofthe ivory cup and the peculiar rich, creamy color that ivory ecanires ith age have been pro- duced with singular fidelity. “PAUVRE AMOUR,” by Comte Oalix, is full of sentimental tenderness. the story is well fad directly told. The composi- is Pt a2! and the drawing free. vel's “Adieu” is brilliant in color, and ex- quisite skillin the manipulation is displayed. “OFF as oaks sronanine som a quid Pps | ne of the most creditable marine pictures of the Rgesican scnool. It is full of sea sentiment, The sweeping motion of the waves and aqueous look of the jagged, drifting clouds giving a breezy effect to the painting extremely natural. ‘Lobster Wishing,” by the same artist, exhibits his power in a diferent direction. The sea is tranquil and suniit, The same power of pounding, water, and of imparting the sentiment of the picturesque to whatever the artist touches is visible in this work. Castiglione, somewhat subdued in color, is rep- resented by & comp fon that for want of a better hame we shall cail “The Pet Parrot.” The work {8 full of merit, bat is not 60 striking as other works by the same hand, “THE NEW NOVEL," by Emile beet ald isa little gem of color. The motive is simple—a Piast lady asleep over a book; but the skili of the treatment and the ex. quisite delicacy of the color give the work umpor- tance apart from Its subject. David Johnson has an excellent painting of Lake George, which we noticed at length ou a former occasion. alnting. by P. A. Cot, is the origt This beautiful painting, by . Cot, is the origi- nal of the work we criticised it length last Sum- mer. It comes from the hands of the engraver.

Boss Tweed’s Finger in the Tammany Hall Pie. THE GENERAL COMMITTEE. Reading Traitors Out of Meeting. ee The Third, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth and Seventeenth, Districts Overhauled by Tammany—Report of the Committee on Organization— Coroner Keenan To Be Expelled. ‘When “Boss” Tweed stated to a HERALD reporter the other day that he could still call 20,000 votes his own he doubtiess knew his exact strength in’ the different political organizations in the city.; This injudicious statement of the great organizer attracted the attention of the Committee on Or~ ganization ‘appointed by the Tammany Hall Gene eral Committee. Mr. John Morrissey and exe Alderman Walsh, members of the committee, PRICKED UP THEIR BARS, These gentlemen cast around for a day or so and discovered that the Boss had a finger im the pies too. Certain members of the Tammany Hall Gen« eral Committee who were known to. have been iq the immediate retinue of Tweed in the good old times had been heard recently to declare that they, could never vote jor or give their support to Gree- ley or to some of the other names on the Stata ticket, These gentlemen came from the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth and Seventeenth districts. Mainly through the exertions of Messrs, Walsh an Morrissey a sub-committee was appointed by th Committee on Organization TO INQUIRE INTO THE CHARGES made against the members of the General Commit tee from the above districts, William Walsh wad appointed chairman of this committee and the ac-¢ cused were cited to appear before them on Wednes- day evening. Some of them did so, among the rest Coroner Patrick Keenan, a member of the com- mittee from the Fourth district, who declared that he had said he would not vote for Greeley ina moment of passion. ) Last night the General Committee met to receiva the report of the Committee on Organization on this subject. Over five hundred delegates wera present, though a good many seats were vacant.’ John Morrissey took a back seat and no one would have thought that he had had much to do with un< earthing the frauds in the committee. Henry Geneq was to the front in his old place and “Billy” Walst took a seat in the body of the hall where he could not escape CATCHING CHANDLER'S EYR. Assistant Alderman John Galvin, who evidently came prepared to make @ “splurge” for his friend Coroner Keenan, thought to euchre him by settlag in the seat directly in front. JouN W. CHANDLER called the meeting to order, after which the Secretary proceeded to call tha roll, John Kelly bobbed up from his seat and moved that each man rise as his name was called. Whem the Secretary came to the Fifth Assembly District, very few delegates from which were present, As sistant Alderman Robinson said that he wished ta explain to the committee that, owing to the fact that there was a Greeley and Brown ratification meeting in the Fifth Assembly District last night, a large number of delegates were unable to attend the meeting.
