NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JULY 26, 1875—WITH SUPPLEMENT. MUNICIPAL POLITICS, The Action of the Tammany Committee Discussed. NOTHER OPPOSITION 10 BE STARTED. Morrissey, Hayes and Ledwith To Declare War. Tho action of tne Tammany Committee on Or- ganization on Saturday afternoon was the subdject of general comment yesterday wherever two or three politicians were gathered together. T opinions that were advanced as to the policy that Gictated the operations were as varied as the people who discussed the matter. Those who biundly follow the dictates of the leader of Tam- maoy were naturally confident and outspoken ; they boldly asserted that the move which had been made in ousting Jobe Morrissey ana his friends was one that could only result in adding \o and increasing the prestige and local strength of the organization. Aud, im fact, some went so far as to say that Morrissey and Hayes ought to have been kicked out of the society long ere this; for they argued that the very nature of the calling in which the first named is engaged drew disgrace upon all the other “respectable” members. As tar as Hayes was concerned, the only thing that ap- peared to be brought up against him was that he ts a personal friend of Morrissey’s, and as ®@ consequence ought to be ostracized, Very little was said about Ledwith, for it was un- doubtedly the general belief that a mistake had been made in his case amd one, too, by which the Tammany organization may lose weight in the fall elections in the Fifteenth district. ‘Tho parties wio side with the Morrissey fac- tion seemed to take matters very coolly and but few bitter words were spoken against Jonn Keily and his fatthiul and obedient servants. They appareatly haa discounted the facts pe- forehand and were well prepared ior the re- sult, Now they are evidently ali waiting to see What action their chiefs and leaders propose to take, although they vociferously assert (hat Tammany will not have the easy walk-over 1n the elections that the “regulars” appear to an- ueipate. They announce that the ousting of Morrissey and Hayes trom Tammapy Hall on the grounds upon which 1¢ was done will serve to greatly increase the popalarity of these men throughout the city, especially among THE WORKINGMEN, who have for some time been led to look upon Jonn Kelly, Mayor Wickham and other leaders of | that lik as the sources from which all their mis- Then, again, they say that on every hand and in every district men who formerly were blind supporters of the Tammany régime are now expressing their determination to support any ticket but the one put up by that section of the party which now jook upon as being conducted simply for tie beuelit and personal agrandizement of a tew of the head men, witle th orkers and toiiers are lets to shilv for themseives aller having suffered the brunt and leat of the day. One Tammany man, who occupies a prominent position in the Committee of Organization, was heard to say, In aoswer to some inquiry put to him by a friend, “Weil, jast you wait; we shall make such a clean sweep of the city this fall that all the oppositions wou't kKaow where they stand. Then What nominations we shali make! You bet they won't be of the slorrissey-Haves stamp, but men that every one must have confidence in. NO MORE PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS, but men o/ bigh standing m the community and Who have weaith CO back them. We shall put up none but first class men.” “Yes,” responded a bystander, “and have ’em all meimbers of the Manhattan Giub and wearing swajiow tails to do their canvassing in. What are the workers going todo? Are tuey to be left out in the coid ¥7” ‘Be daamned to the workers,” replied the official. “Jona Kelly knows what he is about, and can do without the grumpbiers, such as you, any way.”’ “Well, just you try it on,’ Teptied the otner, “and see Where you'll land.' ‘This conversatioa is given for what it is worth, althougi 1t tends, in @ measure, to show that amung the masses, from whom ‘Tammany has hitherto drawn its principal support, there is not now tue same Ditud allegiance that there used | to be.
