POLITICAL, PYTHONESSES. ‘The Women’s Rally at the Cooper ¥ FERMENTATION. OF FEMININE, ‘FERVOR, Henry Wilson the Man After Mrs. gAnibony's Description of Her Marrow- ** Bone Performances Before the Sage of Chappaqua. GRANT GLORIFIED. No Reconciliation Acrozs the Bloody Chasm. Lilly Devereaux Blake Unburdens Herself— Likewise the Rev. Olympia Brown. Women are never so much frightened as when sarcasm or ridicule is levelled at them. Last even- ing the Cooper Institute was crowded to excess, ‘and the occasion was that of a Grant and Wilson republican meeting, at which none but women were tospeak. Policemen to the number of a hundred Fr s0 were strewed around the hail promiscuously, and the sergeants and roundsmen did duty by sup- porting the pillars while the speaking was going om, The array of speakers mentioned on the bills was formidable, The names of Biizabeth Oady Stanton, Isabella Beecher Hooker, Lilly Devereaux Blake, Rev. (?) Olympia Brown (a woman), Matilda Joslyn Gage and the oid veteran of a hundred fights, Susan B. Anthony, were luridiy emblazoned. The hall was packed to suffocation. Looking down from the platform.the scene was like @ cornfield of faces thickly studded together. Here and there a siegro's face appeared, and at irregular intervals a@ Diack man’s face. The platform was crowded with the friends and families of the fair speakers, ‘who, a8 matter of course, applauded loudly and always at the wrong time, if the manifestations of the audience could be taken as acriterion. A glee club occupied back seats, modestly holding their melodies in reserve, When called upon they song well, but their rather indecent allusions to Horace Greeley were not received with any warmth of feeling, ‘The great gun of the meeting, as announced for- mally, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, was not present, but she sent a letter, which was read by the Chair- man, Luther H. Marsh, a well-known lawyer, who appeared in evening dress and wore a blazing red mecktie. Whenever the courage of the female speakers faltered under the storm of hisses when they mentioned Grant’s name, or when a wild, up. roarious cheer was raised for Greeley, Marsh stepped into the breach with his eyeglass and his red necktie and his evening dress coat and talkea of the rebels. He said nothing new, but he gaid agreat many bitter things which provoked hisses and disapproval. The lady speakers ‘were ranged in a row, all dressed to kill, and it was moticeable that among them there was not one who was not of New England birth. They all have fine, sarge, intellectual heaas and small bodies, and they peemed more fitted to be speakers on the rostrum than to fulfil the domestic duties of wives and mothers. It wasa terrible strain on the patience of the Jadies to listen to their stump oratory. The ptaple of their discourses was praise of Henry W/l- fon, who was glorified in an unscemly manner, He ‘was heroic, he was brave, he was far-seeing, he was the woman’s champion and the idol of the woman’s heart. There were allusions to Ulysses Grant, but the motive was apparent; it was a Wilson meeting. No man living who has satin the United States Senate knows better how to humbug the ladies and amuse them by sentimental yarns than Mr. Henry Wilson, and they like him for at. The Rirsey of women prefer a smooth talker to a rough-angled, earnest man. There is* no fon in any of the earnest men, and so the wo- men’s rights woman judges men unless that they are earnest for their ism, and that of course alters the case altogether. The prettiest of the lovely epeake! last evening, was Lilly Dev- ereaux Blake (it will be observed that all the speakers have three names) and she was much applauded because she spoke but for twenty minutes. Miss or Mrs. Blake was dressed in a purple barred silk, and she wore an Smmense brass ornament in her back hair which ‘was much admired. The old and gallant veteran of a hundred fights, Susan B. Anthony, sat near Mra. or Miss Blake, with her hair done in plain, fat plaits, and she was attired simply in a snuif colored silk dress which had never been turned. Miss Anthony was the best speaker, and during the evening's entertainment she was bon, over with memoranda and other paragraphs. The Rey. (/ Olympia Brown was quite a boon to the audi- ence. The Rev. Olympia, who has received hol, orders from some selectman of a township in Connecticut, was dreased in a green check silk, and had her hair done up ina yery sy ema tries knot and tied back of her weil shaped head. Ma- tilda Joslyn Gase was dressed in a black silk, and considerable excitement was manifested by the fiitlence while she spoke. These, however, two- hirds of whom were for Greeley, did tot §pprove of her rather vad expressions about the Sage of Chappaqua, an ere was a great deal of hissing at times, which waa sometimes drowned by cheers out ofthe pure chivalry of the audience, who in New York always sympathize with helpless wo- ‘men. The Jady who had the best stage presence of the lot was Isabella Beecher Hooker, who wore a black dress, with a gorgeous red-figured scarf, and ‘whose littie white hands were enshrined partly by the bnely Bowing | ce sleeves which pecped from beneath her sleeves. But unfortunately all these ladies have a sing-song, school girl delicacy, and their utterances are clouded by one fart; they can never (woman 'ike) tell anythin: now, and a3 stump orators they must aiways (woman like) so back eight yéars, as they did last evening, to dig ‘up blood and bones; consequently many of their own sex, who are the best judges, feil agiéep durin, the harangne of their political Pyth wnegses, whe the male portion of the audiency, eyen those who were republicans, although ‘ney were amused, could not say that they wore instructed or that they had heard anv‘ a t eting new. On the whole the first meeting at, which finsle speakers were em- ise An. ‘(n'a campaign was saved solely from pillars oy the presiding offcer—a horrid mab—and ua ts the lamentable truth, r the meeting was called to order Mr. Luther RR. Marsh was chosen chairman, and, coming for- ward, i SPEECH OF MR. LUTHER R. MARSH, Anew period has come. The ancient Clock of time, from its belfry in the sky, strikes another hour. The world has moved on its orbit through ‘another degree. An unexpected element appears on the fleld of politics. For the first time in the history of our country woman takes public part in the political canvass, organizes her meetings, writes and adopts her resolutions and proclaims her views from the platform. The time is ripe for such an advent. Well may the women of America come forward to the rescue at this vital in our career and do what they can to aid the re-election of General Grant for to his vaior, his patience, his magnificent gen- eraiship, than which none brighter shines in the annals of war; to him, the most aggressive of war- riors, the most clement of victors, whose combat- fvenees gives place to magnanimity ere the sul- phurous clouds of battle clear away; to him who, after the surrender under the apple tree, seemed to be the only mao on whom the people couid agree to direct the reconstructive and recuperative ener- gies of the nation; to him more than to any other man do they owe the continuance of their govern- ment, the return of their husbands and sons, the phn old order, peace and prosperity and the un- mar ited océupancy of their own homes. + Marsh read a letter from Mrs. Cady Stanton, excusing her'absence, and then continued :— I will now introduce to you a sister of a man has taken more various views than any one else on ver jubjects, Henry Ward Beecher, and it is for meto leave you to judge whether all tle talent of the Beecher family is monopolized by him. (Laughter). Mrs, Isabelia Beecher Hooker will Dow adilress you. SPEECH OF MRS. ISABRLLA BEECHER HOOKER. Mrs, ‘sname was greeted with decorous applause, and she began speaking in a hoarse, sepulchral voice, She sai that there were reasons why women should work for the republican party, one of those was that thd republican party was working for her; another was because the President was a firm believer in the mghts Of women as citize: (applause)—and what is not of jeast ortan\ wile is also a firm believer in t; and General Grant has shown this fact by ting women to office, ieee Horace Greeley—W storm of lissos here arose and was NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, ‘OCTOBER 8, 1872—QUADRUPLE SHEET. ‘bloodshed, ha\ the of freedom and justice; so shall our govern- ment shed biessings on its faithful men and women “HEALTH TO THE PAIREST |’?

She complained that when he spoke he did not say “rebel,” as he ought to; but said “Confederate.” (Laughter.) All you men who believe in what the American flag represents must vote for General Dix. The republican party was ® miracle-working party. It developed 4,000,000 of men and women out of cattle. (Applause.) It had stretched an tron band across the Continent, so that the Atlantic could shake hands with the Pacific—but not across a bloody chasm, thank God! The democratic party is dead, or worse than dead—covered with the green slime of liberalism— disease that must result in death.

He had displayed that heroism which women had learned to look upon as the companion of chivalry. He had had his de- tractors as all great men had. But it was an old saying, that in passing through an orchard you could tell which tree bore the best fruit by the number of stones which were hurled inst it, (Applause and laughter). But by and by all this mist of calumny would er ear, and high above all other records would be the name of General Grant. (Hisses and an over- Whelming tempest of cheers.) And every one knew the unmistaken integrity and loyalty of that son of Massachusetts, Henry Wilson. (A) Plause.) To-morrow the waves of success would rise still higher from Pennsylvania and Ohio, until in November next around the shores of this Repub- lic would swell the high tide of victory. (Con- tinued applause.) Blake proposed after the close of her speech three cheers for Henry Wilson. The cheers were preceded by hisses, whereupon a man in the front seat shouted above the uproar, “Put out those eese |” and the little unpleasantness passed off in jaughter, SPEECH OF THE REV. OLYMPIA BROWN. The Rev. OLyMP1A BROWN was then introduced and said it was fitting that she, a minister of the Gospel, should stand upon that platform, she cailed the republican party the party of progress, and for that reason it would be successful in No- vember. The body of men who opposed themselves to progress were going down to death. They had eae the cry of reform, but they had offered to do nothing in advance of what the republican party had done in the past. They talked largely of the honesty and charity of their candidate; with tears running down their checks they spoke of the bloody chasm! Where was there achasm? The only one that she knew of was the one wide and deep that lay between Chappaqua and the White House, at Washingtou. (Laughter.) She would remand the good old Sage of Chappaqua back to tivate life, where he had so often recommended her sex. (Laughter.) She remembered that Horace Greeley had said in his paper in 1869 that if it were fitting and proper that women should vote, why was it not brought about before 1869? She would ask, if it was fitting and proper that Horace Greeley should be made President, why was it not done before 1872? (Laughter.) From out the repubieea party had gone every one of the men who stood in the way of the enfranchisement ofwomen. Thank God it was relieved of their presence, and was now able to come forward, pi het and refined, the Pre, that was to in- sure jiberty to the United States. The hope of the country was the success of Grant and Wilson in November. The fair speaker then entered upon a defence of General Grant against the charges that had been made against him. Who were his enemies? Men who scofed at liberty and sought totake the life of the nation. ‘The cause of truth, of liberty and patriotism required the election of General Grant. (Applause and hisses.) It would be his name that would open the doors and give liberty to the women of the country, etree AAS < * SPEECH OF SUSAN B, ARTHONY, Mrs, SUSAN B. AETHONY was introduced with the qualifying clause that she was able to introduce herself. She said that it had een asserted that the re- publicans in Philadelphis had put woman in their la tform rel 4 a 'gop") to secure their support, Ali she had to remark on that point was that the other party at Oinelinati had not wit enoygh even to offer her a “sop.” Mrs. Anthony then, verged into a discussion of Mr. Gree- ley’s treamént of the “woman’s rights” party, in whic she described the manner in which she had gone on her knees to the bland Sage without pro- ducing any effect upon his obdurate heart. (Lang ter.) Didn't that look like reconciliation * (Laug' ter.) She thought the democrats would be com- pelled to do penance yet another for years. (Applause.) She saw the grand ‘ood ja their voting for Mr. Greeley, who was Sou tless as good @ man as they ever voted for in their lives—(laughter)—but she appealed to every man to refuse him his vote and give jt to General Grant. It was impossible for any political party to succeed in future unless, 4% shou rally to its sup- port the women 6: América, and she congratulated the republican party that it had taken the in- ae jn endorsing their claims to equality and justice. f The singing of the “Star Spangled Banner” closed the exercises of the meeting and the throng quietly dispersed. BETTING ON THE ELECTIONS, Sharps and Flats Putting Up Their Dol- lars. AtJohnson’s, Twenty-eighth street and Broadway, a choice crowd of incipient gamblers and political pimps of various stripes, met to wager their dol- lars on the result of the elections to be held to-day in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, The adherents of the administration, honest Tom Mur- phy’s most unhealthy looking crowd, O'Brien's selected bruisers, little Johnny Davenport's small fry partisans and the scowling bruisers of old Tammany were all represented. ‘‘Sojer’ Flynn was theré, and very conspicuous, and With him a large party of individuals better known than loved, The noise and uproar was much enjoyed by these parties, and when, at a Jate nour, an unfortunate gentleman from the Twentieth ward ran into the room, cut, slashed and bleeding profusely from a little mist dese eaSale with @ bdloodthirst; atriot who wanted the entire sidewalk to himself, The proceedings became quite interesting, John- son, the auctioncer, was very energetic, and bis audience bid with’ inuch spirit, It seemed that there was. a corner in Hartranft stock early in the rome but it dwindled into nothingness later, under the influence of private despatches from Philadelphia, The following were the figures juoted :— $100 180 100 jartranit... .

Below will be found an address to the citizens of the Empire City by some of ita most distinguished men, urging the re-election of City Judge Bedford. In these days of movement towards a better and higher class in our public men generally it 1s grati- fying to Mnd men of all parties and shades of gpin- jon combining to retain in his well-won, ably- sustained and responsible position a gentleman who has risen thereto solely on his merits as an honest citizen and discriminating lawyer :— To THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF NEw YORK :— We, the undersigned citizens of the city of New York, irrespective of party and of politics, having a pride in all that snewine to the prosperity and good city, and believing, further, that the only true safety for our persons and our peor erty depends on an incorruptible Judiciary and a strict and ii administration of ail laws, feel called upon at this time to address the feorle of New York in behalf of the re-election of Hon. Gun- bY Bedford as City Jaden The history of tue Judiciary of this city for the past few years has brought Judge rd prominently fore the public, and he has been called upon to preside at some of the leading criminal trials that have taken place, and where both ability and integrity, which he held Bar and as Assistant trict Attorney, were fully ‘sustained, His judicial course has been carefully watched by the community, and. it ia a source of sincere congratulation to the friends of law and order that he has kept the judicial ermine spatienss that he has honestly, and without fear, favor or malice, administered the laws; that he has promptly punished all just; convicted crimiuals, and has stricken terror to the hearts of those who would violate the law and expect to escape there- from; and he has, in every instance, perfect!y per- formed eve! obligation imposed upon him by his oath of office, and thereby reflected credit mm the Bench, the city and the people of New ork. For these reasons, as citizens hav- ing vast interests in this city, we can- not do less than sustain Ju Bedford and to earnestly urge his unanimous re-election to the office he was elevated foe the people by over seventy thousand majority. 'e appeal to the elec- tore of this city to sustain ua by every honorable effort to carry out this purpose, for by thus reward- ing Judge Bedford a simple act of justice will be done to @ fearless and upright Judge, who has eon- scientiously performed his duty in vindicating the laws on all occasions, and therein has sustained the rights of the people.

Mr. Wiiliam F, Havemeyer presided. The following address to the public was offered by Mr. Joseph H. Choate, from the Committee on Elections, and Cok some slight debate was adopted unani- mously :— To tHe Crrauns or New York :— The Committee ot Seventy desire to call the attention of their fellow citizens to the grave importance of tie 15- ues at stake in the approaching municipal election, aud to the necessity of deciding them without regard to the grcat party questions invoived in the Presidential elec- ton, which is uniortunately to take place on the eame ay. It'is known to every one that the work of municipal re- form which the citizens, without distinction of party, an- dertook in the Summer of 1871 is not yet half accom- plished.

Still the members of the committee expreas themselves entirely confident. Mr. J. 8. Thayer, who returned from Penn- sylvania yesterday, visited these heaaquarters dur- ing the day. He spoke in company with Buckalew on Saturday and had conferred freely with all the prominent politicians of the State. Mr. Buckalew expressed himself entirely confident of carrying the State by from twelve to twenty thousand ma- jority.

On the same date General George W.

He says huge uds have been attempted m_ the introduction of negroes; but the democrats, warned in time, are protecting themselves successfully. Some weeks ago Mr. Schell, President of the Na- tional Democratic Committee, addreased a note to some of the leading democrats o! Virginia, urging upon them the necessity of opening the Geral in that State, and carrying it on with something of the old enthusiastic spirit of 1840, In response there has been forwarded to the committee rooms @ huge poster, headed, “VIRGINIA IN COUNCIL,’? and announcing more than a hundred mass meet- ina at various points throughout the State, which will be addressed by eloquent and distinguished sons of Virginia and others, Efforts are being made to arouse some ot the old time enthusiasm.

The usual serenity prevailed at the committee rooms in the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday. Mr. Chandler was in attendance as usual and in answer to a question as to the prospects, said he had no doubt of the success of the republican ticket in the three great centra: States which hold their elections to-day. He spoke in very complimentary terms of the porn ‘al of the situation which ap- peared in the editorial columns of the HERALD yesterday morning and said it expressed his views exactly. He was confent of Hartranft’s election in spite ofall that had been brought to bear against him.

A SAD CATASTROPHE. Fall of a Stand at a Republican Meeting in Williamsburg—Two Boys Instantly Killed and Several Persons Injured—Nam: of the Hilled and Injured. ‘The republicans of the Eastern District of Brook- lyn, commonly known as Wiillamsburg, made arrangements to hold a grand mass meeting last Right in the square at the junction of Bedford and Division avenues and Fourth street. Near the fountain that has long adorned the square a large stand was erected for the orators, the reporters @nd the musicians, Between nine and ten o'clock & large multitude of tanners and cobblers, bearing torches and headed by bands of musie, surrounded THE GRAND STAND. The music having ceased the meeting was organ- ized and General Sharpe was introduced as the firat speaker. After he had proceeded for some time a cry arose, “THE STAND 18 FALLING,” and all was still for an instant, At the expiration of the silence a loud crash was heard and the pile ‘Was @ mage of ruins, The occupants of it were thrown into a confused mass, struggling, shouting and praying beneath it, but none of them were sonioualy injured, and many among the assemblage were disposed to laugh at the mishap. Bat thoughtful men, who had seen such mishaps before, went to the scene of the dis- aster and examined the débris, There they found THE DEAD BODIES OF TWO BOYS and several of their companions more or less muti- lated. This information haying been conveyed to the crowd it immediately dispersed and the meet- ing was over, THE EXCITEMENT attending the casualty was so great that the police had Tey dimeuity in bringing the bodies of the killed to the station house, but they finally suc- Sco doing so, and also in taking care of the THE VIOTIMS, ” Ata late hour it was ascertained that the follow- ing is a correct list of the victims of this most melancholy disaster :— KILLED.

Y., Oct. 7, 1872. A letter will appear in the Amenia Times to-mor- row from Senator Palmer, in which he pronounces for Greeley. He saya he earnestly longed for the nomination by his party of some statesman who would give to the country a new administration in the support of which all could unite who felt that dead issues ought to give way to living ones. He says that had he been merely a private citizen he should have had no doubt as to his course, but as State Senator he felt much embarrassment in differing from the friends who had elected him as a republican, He also says:—In matters of State legislation I am not willing to be driven to com- mit myself to policies which I_ may not approve ;” and he also reserves for himself the fullest freedom of action in his legislative capacity, though such a course May not take him poeirous of one party, nor put him wholly into the other, He closes as follows :— The pain which this struggle bas cost me I can- not express, I have been fully aware that I was misrepresented, on the one side a3 supporting General Grant, on the other as being on the fence, 80 that at one time it was impossible to declare myself publicly without incurring the charge of secking position. THE REGISTRATION FRAUDS IN NEWARK, Wholesale Arreste—A Witness Who Pre- ferred Going to Prison to Speaking Out. There 18 @ good deal of excitement in Newark over the alleged gross registration frauds in several of the wards, as indicated in court on Satur- day. On Sunday the constables, acting under instructions from the higher authorities, made @ raid on a place known a8 the “Park m Rhein,” in the Eleventh ward, aud a place known as ‘‘Bathgate’s boarding hous2,” also inthe Eleventh ward, and took into custody some twenty-four men, including John A, Artent, proprietor of the Park m Rhein, and Major Trawin, @ noted politician of the ward. The men were promptly liberated on bail procured by Mr. Bathgate’s son, in the person of ex-Street Com- missioner Rogers, The men were held in $200 each to appear yesterday in court. Yesterday some twenty-five colored men were ar- rested charged with having illegally registered in the second ward. Two of the men claimed resi- dence in the upper part of the City Hall building, while the others claimed abodes in Academy and Hackett streets, In the afternoon, one Frederick Leeden Cruck, a saloon keeper, in whose house were found sixteen alleged falsely registered persons, was before the Grand Jury at its sumiaons, He refused to answer the questions put to him, however, and was turned over to the Court. Ee was committed to prison for contempt. The Grand Jury busied itself all day sifting the subject of false registration, but, of course, nothing is Known as to the result of its deliberations. The Prosecutor declares hig intention to push the criminals to the wall, without regard to parties or political affiliation, It is certain that the action of he authorities so far has caused great consterna- tion among intended fraudulent voters, Many of them are known to have cleared out, s0 alarmed were they. The republicans declare that the whole story is a democratic bugaboo, gotten up asa scare on the eve of election. THE ELECTIONS IN HOBOKEN, Last evening the democratic primary elections were held in Hoboken. Some of the paid officials of the Ring, encouraged by their success last year, brought gangs of repeaters from Jersey City and New York, who did their work well, according to contract. In the Third ward many of these paid rowdies were Sn anaete but without avail. It will matter little who is to be the candidate of such men. The citizens, who have deeply felt the evils resulting from such outrages, are determined to support an honest man for the Legislature this Fall. A JERSEY HOMIOIDE, Struck on the Head with a Hatchct— Coming to New York to Die. Patrick Rourke, an Irish laborer, twenty-six yeara of age and unmarried, died on Saturday night, at his residence, corner of Seventy-seventh street and Third avenue, from the effect of injuries to the head.

The Tammany Hall Conventions—A Fight on Old Tammany Between Denny Burns, Andy Jack Rogers and John Fox. The New Spirit of Tammany Triumphant—A Conference Committee on the Nominations Appointed—The Liberal Republi- cans To Be Consulted. The Tammany Convention for the nomination of ® Mayor, Coroner and fifteen Aldermen met at Tammany Hall yesterday afternoon. There were nearly two hundred delegates and spectators present, among them Augustus Schell, General Spinola, John Kelly, Judge D. C. Birdsall, John Morrissey, John Fox, Dennis Burns, Sheriff Bren- nan, John Anthon, Abraham S. Hewitt, Andrew J. Rogers and others. Mr. John Kelly called the Con- vention to order and nominated for chairman Mr. Abraham 8. Hewitt, who made a speech of some length, in which, after thanking the delegates for the honor conferred upon him, he saia:—It is no exaggeration to say that in che coming election a deeper interest is everywhere felt in the choice of our municipal officers than in the pending Presidential canvass, The question now to be decided is whether democratic instita- tions fail when tested by the requirements of munt- cipal governments in large cities. We shall be judged by our acts, and if [ had any doubt as to your action in selecting the best men I would not be here, All are turned upon us to see whether the late struggles for reform initiated by such demo- crats as Tilden and O’Conor, and which has reacued tne city government from a band of plunderers, re- stored its financial credit, purified the bench and raised hopes of national regeneration extending beyond the narrow confines of this city and county, are to be in vain and the fruits of their labor to be thrown away. From the very nature of the case the city of New York must pe _ ruled by democrats 80 long as the power of self rovernment rests in the people. ie work of re- form can be more surely and effectually carried on- by the availing of the organization of Tammany. Hall, its traditions and its machinery than by any new invention of political doctrinaires. Gentlemen, it 1s for ey to decide whether these ede a, shall be di Maher If only honest, capable ai fearless can idates for office are nominated ‘ey will be, elected, and the deep which made us all blush for Tammany will be removed forever. But if incompetent or dishonest men are nominated then will the disgrace be perpetuated and the hopes of good men in all countries who look to us for the vindication ot Boo ea institutions be extinguished for one generation at igast. What is the pleasure of the Convention ? ‘The following gentlemen were then named and appointed the Secretaries of the Convention :—Wi- liam H. Quincy, of the Twentieth district; Edward y, Gilon, of the Ninth district; Frederick Timner, of the Fifth district, ‘The districts were then called of and creden- tials were presented. A CONTROVERSY. There appeared to be a controversy in the Third district, and the roll was called omitting that, after wale the settlement of the controversy was ip order, Mr. KELLY moved that the two delegations from the Third district, one headed by George Cer 4 and the other hy James A. Monahan, be botl allowed seats on the floor, each to give nine votes, Mr. Plum amended by naming the delegation headed by Monahan as the sole and only delegation, Mr. KELLY opposed the amendment, and ex- pisined some of the workings of the Third district rimary. Pomme Gonvention finally decided in favor of Mr. Kelly’s motion, and both delegations were ad- mitted. A COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE. Mr. KELLY proposed a Committee of Conference, to be Sor paced of twenty-one members, to confer with the liberal republican and other organtzations in order to secure harmonious action. He spoke at some length in favor of honest nominations for Mayor and city and county officers. BURNING WORDS FROM DENNY BURNS. Mr. DENNIS BURNS moved an amendment thi each man rise in his place and nominate a candi- date for Mayor; and as he was on the floor he took the liberty of naming Abraham R. Lawrence, “I want to see a democrat nominated,” said he; ‘one that democrats love and worship; and if A. R. Lawrence is nominated he'll have a walk over. (Applause.) I want to have the right to stand up here and name my choice. We don’t want any conference with any outside body for Mayor. lam willing to have the Aldermanic nominations con- ferred upon, but this Hall has got the right to the Mayoralty, and it has got to be represented, It is not to be ruled by any close corporation, bat is to be a ruling power itself.."’ Mr. WILLIAM Wats, in the interest of peace, asked to have the motion withdrawn. Mr. KetLy—How can we, gentlemen, go into anomination for Mayor without consulting the other organizations? Are we to shut our eyes to the fact that there is a liberal republican organiza- tion in this city, and that we are working har- moniously with them? A BREEZE. Mr. Borxs—I cannot withdraw my motton, Mr. Chairman, but I will say that I will stand by the nomination made here, whatever tt is, We do not get one-tenth of the republican vote of the State, and yet we have given them two or three repre- sentatives on the State ticket, and we ought not to give them the Mayoralty. ANOTHER DELEGATE—We have taken thelr? nomi. nees for the Presidential ticket and they ought to take our nomination for Mayor, ANDY JACK ROGBRS RISES, ANDY JACK RoGeRs—Nothing has been done by these outside organizations, Mr. President, even in the Presidential fleld. They did nothing in the hour of municipal struggle, when we were prom- ised that dishonest men should be put out and honest men putin. If our nomination be such as to meet with the approbation of the Committee of Seventy and other outsiders and you make it. subject to them you drive from Tammany Hall More men through disgust at this dictation of other cabals than you gain from the outside organi- zations themselves. (Great applause.) This com- mittee of twenty-one is only for the purpose of giving satisfaction, not to the members of Tam- many, but to members of outside organizations, INSIDIOUS FOES AS THRY ARE, trying to do Tammany to death that they may themselves rule the city of New York. POX TO THE RESCUE. Mr. Fox—I am pleased to hear my friend of old standing, but I must disagree with him in this. I hail with joy the olive branch offered us in the convention at vincinnati in the nomina- tion of Horace Greeley and B. Gratz Brown. (Ap- plauge.) We come back to Syracuse, and find the olive branch there, borne by our own Francis Ker- nan and Chauncey Depew. (Applause.) The banner we fight under is as pure as the fleeting snow, and it must be upheld by harmoutous action, Let us open the doors of Tammany to those who have been barred out of it for four or five years, and in- vite to our folds all outside organizations who are fighting with us for the success of the liberal repub- lican ticket of Cincinnati and Baltimore. (Great applause.) Mr. DENNIS Burns, in lieu of the appeal of Mr. Fox, thereupon withdrew his amendment; Andy Jack looked terribly crestfallen, and John Fox walked out of the hall with his head up, having won another fight against the still lively spirit of old Tammany, he motion of Mr. Kelly for the committee of conference was then passed by an overwhelming majority. A recess for half an hour was then taken to give the Chairman an opportunity to appoint the committee of conference, and for delegates to con- fer together as to the nominations, When the recess Was over the nominations were handed in secretly, although {t was shown that Abraham R, Lawrence was somewhat ahead in the general favor. The Convention tien adjourned, pursuant to motion, until Friday next at 3 P. M. ‘The following is the COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE. 1. John Fox. I. Aug. Schell, 2 Denny Burns. 12, Owen Keenan. 8% J.
