The bottom has completely fallen out of the whole anti-Tammuny opposition, and it is now clear sailing for the Wigwam Uekes, headed by Smith Ely, Jr. un Monday night the gun which brought about such a result was fired by ex-Senator O’Brien when ho stood up in the apti-Tammany Coovertion and moved the endorsement of Smith Ely, Jr. This action le(t tho Independent Citizens’ and German organization, under tbe leadershgp of Mr. Oswald Uttendorfer, some- what at sea, for they had either to follow suit or place atbird ticket of theirown in the field. The latter course was javored by a number of ambitious gentle- men, who thought they sawa@ chance to win even against the republicans and Tammany Hall. Many of them evidently desired to ‘serve’? tho people in the capacity of Coroners, Aldermen and other remuner- ative positions, Such was the condition of affairs yesterday when the three conference committees again assembled at the Astor House, Anti-Tammany came handicapped with ber proceedings of Monday night. Therefore, aitera little desultory discussion, this branch of t political element withdrew from further participation io the proceedings. The members went back to the main conlerenoe committeo of twenty-two of their or- gunization in order to finish the business of indorsing Mr. Ely, Mr. Ottendorter and Mr. Doscher were next appointed # commitice to write a letter to Comptroller Green requesting that gontleman ta withdraw, and nolilying him of the proceedings of the joint confer- ence, A nal adjournment then took place. The Conference Committce of Twenty-two of the anti-Tammanyites met at No. 82 Nassau street and passed a resolution indorsing Mr, Smith Ely, Jr., and the baturce of the Tammany ticket. A sub-commitice consisting of Messrs, Schafer, Purser, Hart, Mitchell and McKellar were then appointed to draft a statement Of their position to the public, after which tho meet- ing adjourned. MR. KLY NOMINATED BY ANTI-TAMMANY. Yesterday afternoon Messrs. Ira Shater, William P. Mitchell, E, B. Hartaud G. H. Purser, on behalf of tho Anti-Tammany organization, waited upon Mr. Ely at bis rooms, on Union square, and, after tendering to him their nomination for Mayor, they read to him the following addre: invixa Hatt, Nov, 1, 1876. To tuk New York County Democracy:— Last fall, in the interest of good municipal govern- ment, we combined with the republicans, the Germans and all parties opposed to Tammany Hall and achieved a signal victory over its candidates. This ‘tall, remem- bering the past, we sought to bring about the same re- | sult through the same instrumontalities, but found it impossible without cndungering the saccess of our national and State tickets, Under these circum- stances wo have determined to run no county ticket. We have determined to support Mr. Smith Ely, Jr., tor Mayor, ana rather than witness the spectacle of this democratic city being ruled by republicans we have concluded not to vote for republicans, but to support the remainder of tho ticket headed by Mr. Ely and rec- ommend its adoption by you, Let us not be misunde stood, Wedo not disband our organizations, but in the present exigency deem it wise to pursue the course suggested as one best calculated to insure the election of the democratic national and Siate tickets, the overthrow of the entire republican county and Con- gressional (ickets, and to prevent the success of the re- publican machine leaders in their intrigues to aid the election of their national and State tickets, IRA SHAFER, Chairman, EMANUEL B. HART, THOMAS MACKELLAR, GEORUE H. PURSER, Committee, WILLIAM P. MITCHELL, hr. Ely accepted the nomination in an appropriat speech, abd said be would respond to their address in writing. Last evening Mr. Shafer received from Mr. Ely the following letter:— New Yorx, Nov. 1, 1876. To tue Nominating Committee ov tHe New York County Democracy :— GuN1LeMeX—I have received your communication and address of this date, tendering to me your nomi- nation for the important and respousible position of Mayor of this ely. 1 accept: your nomination with very great pleasure and gratitude; the gratification beimg much increased by the magnanimous and patri- prosentation, I believe that I tully appreciate the generous sacrifice you have made im the interest of the great party in whose ranks we are all fraternal coworkers, and I assure you that if elected I will en- deavor to act so justly aud impartially that you will never regret your action in this matter, Please accept the assurance of my sincere regard, and believe me to be, respectfally yours, SMITH ELY, Jr. ‘TH INDEPENDENT CITIZENS’ PRONUNCLAMENTO, ‘The following ictter was addressed to Comptroller Greep by Messra, Ottendorfer and Doscher, Chair- man and Secretary of the Indepondent Citizens’ Com- mittee :— New Yorx, Nov. 1, 1876, Hon, Axprew H. Grexy : At a mass meeting of the citizens of New York city, held at Cooper Institute, October 7, 1876, at which you Were nominated jor Mayor, the following resolu- tion, among others, was unanimously adopted ;— Resolved, That a committee of twenty-five citizens be pointed by the President of this meeting with power to nll vacuucies in their number, whose duty it shail be to cause this nomination to be tendered to Mr. Green, and, nee thereof, to take, in their discretion, ctive mensures, iu the spirit of this meet: ing, to promote his election, Pursuant to that resolution the committee of twenty- five Was appointed, and alter organizing on the lab day of October, 1876, formally tendered to you the numinavion for the Mayoralty of the city, The full report of the proceedings of that day were published iuithe daily press of this city, and we will aliude only to the portion of your reply in which you stated in substance ‘nat you were not a candidate tor the oilico of Mayor nor tor any other office, but that if any con- siderable number of our citizens should desire to 5 cure in the ottice of Mayor such experience in the man- agement of our city aflairs as you bad, you would not feel at liberty to dechne their call, aud that ic would be quite agreeable to you to see some competent per- son other than yourself elected to that ottice,"” ‘The committee of twenty-tive thereupon, in the dis- churge of what it deemed 148 plain duty, appointed the proper committees aud proceeded to the work of en- deavoring to unite thé different organizations in the clty that were, or professed to be, iu sympathy with tho purpose #f securing honest, capable und independent eny government. Conferences wero had with Germab-American Independent Associations, the anti-lammany organization and the Citizens’ Com- mittee appomted at the Germans Savings Bank, and all agreed = with our commit- as Wella to loyal persons, of | tee m the purpose we desired to effect; luimeg 1 their bills Vetore Con- for suppies lurnisued or taken, and fur use aud occupation uf property, Lave iailed to produce convie- e Of overwhelming evid (ave alarined tus our commitiee, cunjomtly with the abovenamed or- ganizations, communicated officially witn the Repub- lean County Convention, Thuis communication was referred to their Nominating Committee, and on the 2th of October last received a reply stating vhat “if, upon farther deliberation, they concluded that it is desirable to confer with you, you will be advised cot at an eariy day.” This communication of the Republican Nominating Commitee could nos be cousirued otherwise than as a deciara\iod to co-vperate with us, Ils meaning was so iuierpreted in the conference, and the proposition to give the representatives of the republican purty fur- er Lime to reconsicer their action, which was a snare, or their prolessions of a desire to exert their influence @ protection of the interests of our city, found at y little favor with & majority of the members of the conierence, But in view of the fact thata very large number of influential members of the republican party, and among them the most respectable, sympathized with our movement and deplored the indications that the men who controlled (betr organization seemed inclined 10 aserifiee our city lor their perty purposes; that the most imiluential republican payer stated only afew days ago that the numtuation of a straight republican ticket for municipal offices could mean nothing else but an iodireet support of the Tammany candidates (or the sevoral offices, and would bo tue most unfortunate mistake the republican party could commit such a ccusation against the republican party, aa it would itsell, too, by of such a course, requires somethin suspicions and rumors, however well tounded they may seem to be, jew of all this the conference resolved to hope agai il reasonable ex- pectation that the republican organization would not Stultily itself Dy making straight nominations, but | afford our own citizens employment, Bation caused thereby » + deal of valuable time indispensable for an effective campaign was lost; that our whole movement was in jer of becoming demoralized, as, in branch of our conlereuce, the representatives of anti-Tammany, lost partially the control of their organization, which, to some ex- nt, became the prey of an ambitious and disappointed Member; but we thought it wiser to await the final aud official decision of the republican perty in reference to our wunicipal tickel, 80 that if thereby our endeavers to secure the election of est, ¢apable and ind dent @andidates for tne municipal offices to be filled at the coming election, should frustrated, our citizens will at least know where the responsibility rests and who ia to ve blamed for it, The Republican County Convention met 1ast even- ing and realized tha hopes of the enemies and the fears of the friends of reiorm in our municipal aifairs, by nominating a straight republican ticket. By this and by disintegration of our movement caused by the unwillingness of the Republican Nomi- nating Comunittee to con: with us all possibility of UnILIDg OD A Joint ticket in ition to the Tammany Hall candidates is gone, and the conference thereupon resolved “That in consequenco of the events of t last two days no further efforts be made to nominate joint ticket.” Itseems our eltizens have not learned enough by tho experience of the past to compel their political organizations not to consider o y the tootball of their political schem az long as our political parties see that the confidence of the people in them 18 hot impaired by the sacrifice of the interests of our city to their ambition they will, no doubs, continue the nefarious course they have adopted, Tne greatest efforts of independent citizens will be of uo avail, especially as long as our municipal elec- tions are held sinultaneously with our State and national elections, and in years like the present when the wave of political eXeitement submerges every other consideration it would be unpardonabdie to ask you, who have spared mo time, tabor and annoyance to protect our people ' against their. worst — cnemiesy to lead =a ___for- lorn hope, and ti Co an aud seeretary prepare an address requesting. Mr. Green to allow bis name to be withdrawu irom the canvass, aud giving the full reasons theretor.”? For these reasons aod in compliance with that res- olution we request you to allow us to withdraw your name a8 Candidate forthe Mayoralty, Respecitally yours, OSWALD OTIENDORFER, Chairman, Louis M. Doscure, Secretary, OOMPTROLLER GREEN'S ANSWER, To this communication Comptroller Green sent the following reply — New Yorx, Nov. 1, 1876. To Oswato Orraxvorren, Chairman; ‘Louis Doscmen, etary ‘TLEMEN—TI have received your communication of this date wherein you correctly state the terns of my candidacy for the Mayoralty, Iam much vbliged by your coinplimentary aliasion to my modest public career, and being very well assured that your commit- tve have arrived at the conclusion to which you xive expression after a full consideration of tue situation, I accede to their request to allow the withdrawal of my hatne as a candidate for the Mayoralty with quite as much’alacrity as I gavo consent to use it, Whatever regret I may feel on public grounds at the inter- ruption of a movement which promised to unite good men, without distinction of party, in the effort 1o rescue the conduct of our municipal irs from the hands of venal politicians ts qualified by the contident assurance that this movement will, by the conspicuous circumstances surrounding its temporary check, guther fresh impulse and energy, 1 find special reason for congratulation in the fact that this movement has not in the shgntest degroo im- paired that entire independence of partisan affilia. tions which I have endeavored to matutain during t! whole course of iny connection with the public busines: of the city. No more flattering recognition of my success in vindicaiing the independence which mu- nicipal administration ougnt to sustain to party polities could buve been afforded than in the nominu- ton tor the office of Mayor tendered me by acommit- tee comprising #0 many men of high standing in the community who, honestly differing on questions of State and national politics, were thoroughly agreed as to the vital necessity of selecting municipal officers solely on grounds of capacity, experience snd honesty. The character of that committee, the character of the public assemblage whose representative it was, and the demands of those principles of municipal ro- form to which I have devoted so many of the best years of my life, lett me no alternative but to accede to the request for the use of my namo as @ candidate, The obstacies in the way of making the pomiuation effective have been neither of your making nor mine, Your committee have confined themsel to bonor- ablo expedients to insure the success of what I think a majority of tuis community agree with them im judg- ing to boa worthy ond. Their efforts entitle them to the thanks of every honest citizen, The cause ot non-partisan reform i local government has me with many rebutls and reverses, Whether it ve given to you and to me to participate in the triumph of the principie to which New York owes all the progress it has made in municipal ad- ministration during the last few years this triumph will as certainly come as the triumph of right over wrong, of enlighteminent and honesty over ignorance, prejudice aud rascality. Yours, very respectfully, ANDREW H. GREEN, ACTION OF THE GERMANS.
