* rho it TAMMANY SPEAKS. The Wigwam Chiefs Discuss Their * Late Defeat, BEATEN BUT NOT CRUSHED. Resolutions of Hope and Confidence —- Addresses by John Kelly, 8 8 Cox and Fernando Wood. The General Committee of Tammany Hall hold regular meetings on the first Thursday of each month. Last night was the date fixed for the body to come togethef again, the assemblage being looked upon more'in the character of a wake than anything else, The members of the committee walked in one by one, looking rather’ solemn and somewhat in- disposed, Mr, Augustus Schell enterad the room a fow minutes before eight. About dozen of the mem- bers clapped their hands and some walked over to the defeated Mayoralty candidate and tendered their sympathies. There was @ decided sadness about their whole demeanor, “We are all right,” remarked s committeoman to the reporter in a tone of forced gloefulness, “Anoth year must repair all losses," y Secretary Joel O, Stevens asconded the platform, ‘and was received with applause. Mr. Schell took a front seat, and seemed perfectly at ease. He conversed a fow minutes with ex-County Clerk Loew, General F. B. Spinola and Gunther K. Ackerman. Henry L. Clinton advanced down the room with measured tread, and looked as if his mind was wandering among the fine points” of some intricate law case. “I think we had better petition the Legislature to give us a spring election,” laughingly remarked Major Quincy, of the Sheriff's office, Assemblyman Seebacher was congratulated upon his re-election. “Youare the only man who had a walk over,” was whispered by a friend. * Among the other gentlemen present were Colonel Gilon, Collector of Assessments; ex-Alderman Purroy, Fire Commissioner Gorman, Corporation Attorney Boyd, Samuel Coriover (who, fortunately for himself, did not got the Mayoralty nomination), Colonel E. L. Gaal, Sheriff Rielly, Park Commissioner Lane, William C. Traphagen, ex-Alderman Tuomey and Congressmen ‘Wood and Cox. There was a full attendance of: the committee and as the speeches progressed consider- able. enthusiasm prevailed. When Mr. John Kelly rose to speak he was received with cheers again and again repeated, the entire audience rising from their seats. Mr. Henry L. Clinton called the meeting to order shortly after eight o’clock. Some preliminary business being transacted, Mr. Bamuel Conover offered the following resolutions:— Resolved, That the democracy of the city of New York, through thoir representatives here assembled in their General Committee, while fully recognising the defeat re- tei" at the recent election in this city, through the com- bination effected betwoen their re; abiiean, opponents and mocrats misguided by the } ership of men seduced m thelr party by the hope of office or cast out as wn- meee of belongin: pny yee close w eed tipo with un- hal courage, and wi 16 BSAUre’ of victory in Meet a coe .

FERNANDO WOOD BPRAKS, After the resolutions were pasued three cheers were proposed for John Kelly and given with a will. Mr. Fernando Wood, who had entered s few moments pre- viously, was then made the recipient of three equally. Mr. Wood at once came to the front of the platform end said demurely, “We have had an eloec- tion.” This was greeted with great laughter, snd he continued as follows:—“Although the results tre different from what we had a right to expect, and hot as agreeable as might have been, yctI am sure, after s little calm deliberation after the sober second thought, and the people of New York shall have had an ‘opportunity. to calmly review tho results, that whoover 6l@ may be disappointed and aggrieved it will not be the democratic party repre- sented by this organization. (Applause.) Experience has taught me that prosperity is at times moro dangerous than adversity, because while prosperity often leads to excesses which result in terrible evils, adversity admonishes us that it is necessary always to be prepared for whatever evils may overtake us.” Mr. Wood said that he did not believe that possession of office was in iteclf the possession of political power. In his own experience he had boon stronger when without patronage than when ho ‘was in possession of municipal power. The Tammany organization was permanent, like the demo- tratic party ‘of the country. “We*will continue to stand by it,” said Mr. Wood, in conclusion; “we will be better without those who have loft us than if they were to come back again—(applause)—and if my coun- wels should be considered of the least effect in the deliberations which may hereafter determine the individuality, the personnel of this organization, I would put the black mark upon every one of these men. They never should come back again, so help me God, (Cheers.) 1 thank God that I am yet spared in the possession of all my intellectual and physical taculties to aid you in fighting this contest.” CONGRESSMAN COX'S ADDRESS, Congressman 8. 8. Cox said:—I came here to-night © make some remarks about the organization of Tam- uany Hall. I don’t see any necessity for speaking to that point. Tammany Hall is organized. Tam- many don’t die easy and is not dead yet. (Applause.) Laoaat tiie ies oe = * the old celestial ichor of whic! n speaks is immortal poem. No bob-tailed or speckted combination can beat it.

No other party ever could come us we do after a defeat. Ti who have gone around with the re- ublicans or whatever you call them may stay with heir new allies. We can survive them. I made some remarks about a deluge the other day. Well, we have had a sort of forty days shower, but the animals will all come out of the ark. (Laughter.) The other side may think it’s a deluge, but it isn’t, and that concern when it commences to give out the soup will find that the soup will give out before they do, You have no idea how hungry they are.

I don’t want to him with Mr. Phelps as District Attorney. don’t want to try him by any court made by this combination; I want the Peniten- n; I want the federal Congress to yy which he acts (spplanse) and if no other member of Congress from New York offers the bill I will offer it. Oh! they think they have got the old days again. Have they? ‘The Senate will democratic after the 4th of March next, and the House is already democratic; and I think we elected a presi- dent, sithough (with a laugh) I swear I dén’t know whether we did or not, When a man is natu: in this country, whether it be in 1868 or 1843, his papers import absolute right to vote and so the Court should recognize until it otherwise appears, Instruct your members of Congress in this ity; instruct the democratic members all over the country; instruct the democratic House and the Sen- ate to put the knife clear through the Johnny Daven- gous of this country. (Applause). Weare not yet lead. We had the cross the other day, but we shall wear the crown to-morrow. (Applause), Oh they talk about a ‘one man power,” and some Colonel from Arkansas called it a ‘one horse power,” insulting the man whom we all know to be honest. One man ower} You can’t make an army without a general. pole lodged somewhere in every organization, and the ffnal lodgment must be vested in one even if you go to the Upper Throne. I have heard of “one Woman power” in a family, I know a man who defers sometimes to his mother-in-law. If we must have one man power is it not better to have an honest one man_ power than 20,000 dishonest scoundrels combined against the one man? Our organization can’t be broken up by that sort of talk. No organization, from the legion of Cesar to the Supreme Court, is without a one man power— some lodgment of power as the last resort. never knew Mr, Kelly to control my district; I never knew him to defer to me orI to him very much; and this talk about his dictation is far fetched. Isat with him in Congress in 1856 and 1857, and there as well as since I found an honest man. No one can say one ‘word to the cputrary. Well, some of us are elected— eugiter)—and we have now to go to our respective juties. This combination will last about forty days and forty nights, It is not great because it is not gen- erous. It was not made in the right way and will soon Uy pieces. (Laughter.) yh, sure, honey? These factions that went philandering all over the city after Mr. Cooper will go to pieces. And why? Cor- ruption never holds together, When we meet to fight again next year we strain ourselves kicking at something which will no longer exist. (Applause.) MR. KELLY EXPLAINS. Mr. Kelly was loudly called for when Mr. Cox had finished, and he came: forward slowly, ascended the latform and made an address which lasted an honr. ié spoke like one who was talking to a small circle of friends rather than as an orator, and ran on in a somewhat disconnected way, discussing the past career of himself and the institution be rep- resents, the recent defeat and his hopes for the future. Mera fruits ye shall know them,” were the words with which he Ln ay He proposed, he said, to give his opinion of the cause of the defeat. He said at the beginning of the canvass were four distinct anti-Tammany organizations in the city. Hoe went on to tell what these were and described the manner in which they combined. claimed to have for their object the overthrow of the one man whom they claimed was usurping the government of this city. “They did not say, however,” added Mr. Kelly, ‘that he was sot ie | it in his own.interest.”” He went on to say that if he or any other man wellac- quainted with the political affairs of, the city,wero given moncy to use he could’ poll 20,000 to 25,000 votes ist any organization. People were also influenced always in voting by their personal friendships and prejudices. Any organization with money, therefore, was. powerful, and that was the case with the combination. Mr. Kelly reviewed the Feta of the democracy in 6 city from the ys of the Ring up to the recent elec- tion, the name of William H. Wickham be- ing received with hisses. Speaking of the anti-‘Tammany party, Mr. Kelly said:—I can't see that they can accomplish anything. They have made a combination with our political foes, and let them re- main with them. A man that proves a traitor to his party and to its principles should never be trusted with political wer.” This remark was re- The misfortune of local politics, he said, was that the question of nationalities entered into the eanvass.

In like manner he deprecated the ey oe gine an Irish- man upon a particular ticket to the votes of his countrymen. With grim humor Mr. Kelly remarked that it was never done with Italians, Frenchmen, Rus- sians or Bohemians. Good government and good laws could not be ex) while such sentiments wore appealed to. In the recent canvass these ica had been adopted by the combination. In the lower district General Bourke was run because his country- men were numerous there. He did not live in the district and was very properly beaten, although nine- teakhng 06 the, mmowees. Of the. Somes Te reiet.

Mr, Kelly exp! himself as 0} to the principle of John Cochrane, who in Tam- many Hall that he would vote for the devil incarnate if he were the democratic nominee. He was ie prac under the circumstances: that the party po 8 an ense vote as it did—61,000 for ir. Schell. (Applause). It was unfortunate for that gentlemen that his name was connected with that of “that political monster John Kelly,” for it was against the latter that all tho anathemas of the oppo- sition were hurled. The speaker rehearsed the pro- ceeedings of the different parties to the combina tion before the fusion, and claimed that Mr. Arthur exercised just as despotic power as it was possible for one man to wield in the selection of candidates and yet the press and -the public had set mane howl about a one-man power in his case, “Stand Lic, organization;” was the advice which Mr. ly gave his hearers, “or- ng stronger in your districts than ever be- lore, get as strong men as you can find in your respective localities, make up your committees stronger, stand by the party and you may depend upon it that at the next co: election you will achieve a victory in this city the like of which hag not been seen-since the o1 ion of the demo- cratic party. (Applause.) ECHOES OF THE BATTLE. Several of the defeated Tammany candidates were around the City Hall yesterday, among them ex-Alder- man Michael Tuomey, who ran for Coroner. on the county ticket. The gentleman looks complacent enough after the disaster of Tuesday. The others seem to take their defeats with considerable evidences’ of melancholy. Captain F. J. Twémey, Clerk of the Common Coun- cil, has received duplicates of election returns from all districts of the city, with the exception of the fol- lowing :—Third Election district of the Faghth Assem- bly, "Rweitth and Thirty-eighth districts of the Twen- tieth Assembly, The coer, of the Bureau of Elections were much annoyed yesterday by the disappearance of the book wherein the returns of the general ticket were entered. Inquiries have been made after the missing records without avail, but Chief O'Brien expresses his intention to prosecute the search till they are ro- covered. . Six of the men who were arrested by order of John I. Davenport on election day were taken from Ludlow Street Jail yesterday afternoon and discharged on their own pe ma by Commissioners Devel and Shields. ‘Twelve still remain, awaiting the action of the United States authorities. Mr. Archibald Bliss has beon ro-elected from the Fourth district, Kings county, by 4,490 majority in- ‘stead of 2,200. On the judiciary ticket in Westchester county the ublican candi: 8 majority is fully 700, Gideon J. Tucker has about 1,000 votes. Nichol Smith, for 301 has about 2,000 votes. For Coroner, Dr. Ne nist, repebiions has a majority of about 800 ison G. Foshay, the prosent Coroner, who hak, however, about votes more than Hughes and Purdy, the other democratic candidates, over whom Ackerman and Hyler, republicans, haye majorities of about 600.

It is said that Gen- tral Tracy ‘and ex-Judge Morris have been retained a8 counsel for Mr. Riley, and Counsellor Troy for Mr, Worth. The of Supervisors will meet on Tues- day next asa of County Canvassers as to the of election. ONE’ OF WORTH'S FRIENDS. | HOW KINGS’ COUNTY CLERK DELMAB GOT INTO AND OUT OF TROUBLE. A-scene occurred on Joraloman street, in front of the new Municipal Building, about half-past three California does not elect Con; o'clock yesterday afternoon, which for a few minutes afforded intense amusement to an assemblage of one hundred or more spectators. County Clerk, John Delmar, who is the recognized leader of the young democracy of South Brooklyn, was standing on the sidewalk talking with a gentleman, when some re- mark was made by a bystander touching the result of the canvass of the vote for Sheriff of Kings county, which comment reflected upon the political action of Delmar. The attention of groups of men who wore in the vicinity was speedily directed toward the County Clerk, who stood with his hands in his pockets and quietly replied to the insinuation of an excited indi- vidual who suddenly exclaimed, as he shook his finger in the face of Mr. Delmar, ‘Riley is beat, and I charge you, damn you, with having beaten him.” “That is not so, and you lie when you say it,” ‘re- torted the County Clerk. “T say that you beat Riley, John Delmar, and you can’t deny it,” retaliated the man, who now grew white with passion and menaced Mr. Delmar as though about to strike him. The crowd pressed more *closely abont the disputants, and the man raised his voice to a high pitch as he exclaimed— son $5,000 a yegr from the county, but you can’t to me.” “That's more than ever you will get in thiscounty,” coolly rejoined Delmar. iknow you. You got along under Tweed, in New York only, but you can’t suc- ceed in this town.” This remark drew Sob ap sigis epithet from the excited individual, which he app! to the County Clerk, in whose face he shook his fist. In an instant a young fellow about twenty years of age, who is said to be a deputy sheriff, sprang, forward and struck the man in the face. - Delmar canght hold of the assailant and thrust him aside, and the man who was struck put his hand behind him as if about to draw # Pistol and backed up on the steps of the Municipal Building, fol- lowed by the crowd, Ex-Assemblyman David Aitken at this juncture pressed to the front and made an effort as though about to strike the man, who crushed his fn maracas ae a lana eh tolay a hand on him. The prospect of a pretty free exchange of blows for a moment was brilliant, when Police Inspector ‘Waddy appeared hatless on the scene, and, accom- ied by Detective Frost, thrust back the turbu- lent men and led Mr. Delmar's accuser into the building. The latter individual, it was subse- quently stated by the County Clerk, is man named William Hennessey, who keeps a liquor store on Fourth avenue, ih the Twenty-second ward. He formerly held a position under the Tweed in New York, and since his advent in South Brooklyn has been officions in the politics of that ward. A friend of the County Clerk remarked that the demon- stration. baal naw up for effect to make it ap) in ublic that Delmar had opposed the election of aver for Sheriff, which was not true, Hennessey, he said, has been opposing Delmar in his district for some time it. Before the crowd dispersed a red-haired man stepped off the sidewalk, and exclaiming, “‘I can bate any man that’s agin Riley,” threw his hat up in the air and his coat on the ground and squared off for a fight. Detec- tive Frost step) to front at this juncture and collaring him just as the fellow cried ou! Connaught man, I am; de ye mind that now,” tharched him off. He gave his name as Michael H. Wynn at the station house and was locked up to await examination for disorderly conduct. ILLINOIS, THE DEFEAT OF CONGRESSMAN MOEBISON RE- PORTED—A SM4LL REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN * THE LEGISLATURE.

It is easy to predict what the report will be. If it is decided that a fight must be made the war will be carried on by both sides to the last ex- tremity.
