Pursue Their Old Time Tactics. After a Long and Elaborate Preamble, Cleveland is Promised an Earnest, Cordial Support, And Tammany Stays Within the Fold. . [Special to the Herald hy A xsociated Pre**] New Vokk, Sept. 12.—Hours before tbe doord tn Tammany Hall opened tbia evening a great crowd of people as sembled on tbe outside waiting to go in to the meeting of tbe Tammany general •sommittee, where it was to he decided whether the organization was to endorse Cleveland and Hendricks. When nn entrance was obtained the com mittee took aeats out' c main Door. A few prominent members were absent. John Kelly took hit seat directly iv front of tbe platform ami the enormous crowd cheered time and again. When quiet had b*en restored, Kelly . aaid that owing to the illness of Sydney P. Nicholla, chairman, and tbo necessary absence of the president, it was hia duty to call upon tbo Senator from the 24th District to preside. Alter reading the minutes of the pre vious meeting, Gen. B. F. Spinola, chair man of the sub committee, appoiuted to draft an address to the people, made hia report. Tbe address was read aud is aa follows: Tammasv, Hall, New York, 1 Sept. 12, 1884. / To tke Democratic Party of the UnUtd BUde»: The Democratic-Re publican organiza tion of Tammany Hall is the oldest po litical body in tbe United States. Its existence, nnder another name, ante dated the eatablishment of our present form of government. Its members took an active part in the eteetion of Wash ington, JciTerson nnd Jackson, and their Democratic successors, candidates of the party nominated in Congressional cau cuses aud national conventions. It has seen the births, continuanco and sudden or gradual death ef all tbo parties to which the ingenuity of politicians or the necessity of the occasion lias given rise from the adoption of tbe Federal Con atitntion down to the presont day. Dar ing all these years it has never swerved in its allegiance to the party nor fal tered in its support of the candidates nominated and tbe principles enunciated from the platform of tbe National Dem ocratic Conventions; and in but one in «ten cm in all Its history did it oppose the action of tbe party or its nominees in this State, and that after due notice was given and iv response to nature's first Taw, viz., when the existence of oar or •gaaizatloa was threatened and the per sonal or politic*! rigbts of onr constitu ents were assailed- To tbe truth of this statement we invite the severest scrutiny of impartial history. Tbe principles of Democracy announced by Jefferson have been uniformly followed; and, in their (defense, Tammany haa not hesitated to criticise and condemn Its public ofß cials when in its judgment tbey were violating those principles and their professions of Democratic faith, saade before their elovation to place and power. At ti«n-s measures «f great interest to the people have originated with as aad have been car ried to successful adoption by tbe Itauocrn'ic party in tbe Stats and na tion. It was by our constant iteration and discussion that public attention waa called to the corrupt cause of the Re publican party in squandering the public domain, by which over 11W.00U.000 •wres of the public lands were given to railroad and other corporations. The tariff question by us resulted in draw ing attention to the necessity of snob redaction In duties as would provide means sufficient for tbe requirements of ibe government; and, at t'lo same time, Afford the incidental protection neces sary to American labor. We have ad vocated at all times the reduction of taxation, municipal, State and Federal, in oider that the burden of the people should be lessened. Home rule and lo cal eclf-goverainent bavo always been cardinal principles of the Democracy in Tarn mauy Hall. We have differed with fttate exec on on tho application of these important principles of the Gov ernment, because in our judgment tho trnest democracy is where tho least pos sible power, consistent with the proper execution of tbe laws is taken from (be people and lodged with their repres entatives. We have at all times opposed tbe centralization of power as dangerous to our Republican cinstitution! and have not hesitated to condemn unneces •sary, unjust, and undemocratic interfei .euce of the State Legislature and ex .eeutive in our municipal affair*. Our .opposition to the abridgment of tlie power of the aldermen of ear city, would Jure been just as determined had the (Common council boon as strongly Ke« publican as it was Democratic, and no alleged representative public meeting nresHed over by a Republican, advocat ing tho passage of this aad other uu -4aauaerßuc things under tbe delusion ,„ rsty reform crtuld blind us to Ihe true ,J * (, ''j'-ct of such legislation.

It is no exaggeration to any that it seemed to them that the drift of existing laws was tending to debase rather than elevate labor; that while the energy of the government was being used to foster the interest, of tho employer and capitalist at the expense of the toil ing Billion*, that these opinions were founded on substantial and inoontrovrrti ble around, and wore not the emanation, oftbeminda of dreaming demagogue., who sought to dupe their ignorant hut .confiding followers. A candid observer mnst admit that in a neighboring Kepnblioan State the right of tba people to peaocfully assemble was invaded aail the militia of the Com -monwealth was used tyranioally to en. rforoe the unreasonable demands of cap ital. The pres. of the oountry generally opposed labor strike., but no harsh criti cism appeared against the capitalists and corporations who oloaed their factories against workingmen or operatives, on the piaa of "over production," ao tbat the returns of capital might not be dimin ished in this condition of affairs. The eyes of wage-earners were turned to the Democratic party.and they willingly cast their lot with it. Tbey expected to re ceive a reward for their oonndenoo and their labor in such legislation aa would ■meliorate their condition. The people of this city demanded lo have theelevated railroad corporations oonflned to legiti mate returns for capital invested in tbe invaluable franchise which was confer red on them by the city and State. pn.jonged struggle wllh all of Ihe influence, tbat capital can employ, labor seour.il a victory in th»V legislature only to bu thwarted hy a vetA in tbe Xx ecu tire chamber. They sought tbe adoption of a law which would at once prevent the prison au thorities of tbe Stato from employing convict labor so as to bring it Into com petition with honest industry. Tbe measure passed the Assembly bat was defeated in the Senate by unholy Re publicans and recreant Democrats who Ignored the pledges made in their party platform*, by the efforts of the Tam many organization, throagh one of Its Senators, an act was paved ami signed by the Uovernor to submit the question of tbe abolition of the contract system in St ite Prisons to the voters of the states aud the people carried the measure by a majority of 138,000 votes notwith standing hundreds of thousands of bal lots against the proposition were secretly distributed by party managers, members of tbe Democratic State Central Com mittee, in order to defeat this Democratic measure. A bdl limiting tbe hoars of labor of car drivers aud conductors passed the Legislature aud it was met with the Ex ecutive veto and killed, there by continuing the hardships of the honest, over-worked men The laborers and mechanics of the State sought to protect themselves from loss at the hands of dishonest contractors and employers and caused to be passed au act by the Legislature giving a lien of the mechanic and laborer priority over all others. This also suffered tbe same fate. We might add aud enamer a'e other Instances but we have shown sufficient to have warranted stronger op position on our part to the nominee of the Democratic party than we made at Chicago. Being an integral portion of the great Democratic pat ty we have al ways In our capacity aa delegates assist ed to advocate men whom we know to be trusted by people opposed to the nomination of those who were not, and it was in the exercise of this right and in a conscientious discharge ofdaty that we took occasion at Chicago to advise against the nomination which was made by the National Convention. Our op position was without personal feeling and arose from our intimate knowledge of the sentiments of tbe toiling masses of our State on the choice of Guv. Cleveland. In regard to these labor hills a charita ble view to take of his case Is that he was ignorant and oueulightened con cerning tbe nature and working of these laws, which woald have orcaslonedso much real benefit to the workinginen and could have resulted in ns loss to em ployers. We do not impugn the Gov ernor's motives or views which be has expressed on these subjects, they doubt less were conscientiously considered in the discharge of bis official obligations and duties, we simply impressed our knowledge of the antagonism against bim ia the minds of workingmen who compose the bulk of the Democratic vot ers of tho SUte of New York. Tbat the expression of our ideas as to (he policy of nominating as a candidate tor the Presidency a man against whom so much exists among men who in other respects are open to conviction. Is equally true. Whence comes into unreasoning parti san opposition we do not seek to offer any* argunnnt or state any disput ed points which might perchance have weight with the thoughtful candid mind. Indeed it would be useless labor, but we deem tte present a most appro priate occasion to reach tbe latter and to disabuse their mind of any lingering doubts tbat may exist as to their in tegrity of this organization. It is not unfair to claim in approaching this sub ject that tho odium properly chargeable to the Tammany Hall organization is as it was in ring times. When Samuel J. Tilden, Oa* aid Ottendorffer, John Wiuthrop Chandler, Augustas Sohelt, Joha Kelly, its present leader and others succeeded in driving tha corrupt leaders out of the organizations, they found a st tte of affairs which, indeed, required herculean strength and executive ability to put in order. These self sacrificing workers for the Democratic party sue cceded ia the work ef restoration. Order waa restored and a system of fair primaries was introduced in every Assembly District. A new general com mittee was elected and again Tammany became a respectable, law-abiding Democratic organization, self-respect ing and respecting the rights of others. Its strength as a Democratic organization waa increased to 60,000 votes which number were cast for that honest old Democrat, Augustus Schell, now dead, as a candidate for Mayor, when ho was defeated by Edward Coop er, nnder a combination of Democrats opposed to Tammany Hall, with the Republican party, of this city on a division of office which polled 70,000 votes against him. Bat we have bad to combat not only false impressions created as to tbe char acter of the members of onr organiza tion which have been manufactured, not only to blacken our reputation and lessen onr intiuonce. hot charges also have been made against onr political in tegrity and (he honesty of our support given to the candidates of the Demo cratic party. It has been charged that we conspired to defeat Tilden and Hen dricks, in 1876, aod Hancock and Eng lish in 1880, and tho press of the coun try has so generally circulated thia atro cious slander that by continued repeti tion, even impartial men have come to bet eve It. The following statement of facts should suffice to bury this calumny forever: In 1876 Tilden s total vote in New York SUte was 621,949; Hayes' 489,207. Tildens majority, 32,741. Tammany with its magnificent disci pline aud honest management brought this enormous vole to the Democratic ticket, and made sfooast certain. The victory which tlie Republican managers snatched from the jaws of defeat must be sought for elsewhere. Perchance it may be discovered in halting time-serving Senator* and Congressional Representa tives who consented to manufacture a device unknown to the Constitution, which defeated the expressed wish of a majority of the people of the United State. Against this fraud tho Tamma ny organization protested and it has never ceased to condemn the ingenious but constitutional Electoral Commission cunningly devised to avert the impend ing destruction of tha Republican party which it succeeded in accomplishing in 1877 by a vote of 8 to 7. No fair-minded man who will examino these figures uau doubt the entirely loyal rapport of Tam many Hall to Gen. Hancock with these slanders resting upon us and believed, in great part, even by thoso who are in clinedto admit our influence and power as a politicsl body. Our opponents were alert and pro pan 4 for «■ Chica go, an atmosphere of doubt and suspi cion through which ill out aota were to be viewed. While we were celebrating the anniversary of our national inde pendence our opponents took every oc casion lo prejudice the minds of dele gates at Cbioago against ps. We pre sented our arguments to the individual and assembled delegates of the National Convention and were debarred from the right to speak except by the consent of delegates from other States and were prohibited under Democratic unit rule from casting our ballots for the candidate of our cnoice. We failed not in our duties to our constituents who sent os, nor to the party whose repre sentatives we were, and if any mistake has been made it is not of onr doing and cannot be charged to us. The cendi dates of the Democratic party having bean nominated in the National Conven tion, following the uniform and unbroken record of our organisation, we acquiesce in the will of a majority of tbe repre sentatives of the party, although we be lieve that will to have been unwisely ex pressed. There is but one alternative left for ns, to sever onr connection with the Democratic party. This W0 Cannot and will not do. In justice to onr con stituents and our judgment wa cannot pursue that coarse. We believe that time will disconnect the great Demoorat io party from the leadership of the men who have used their power unwisely and detrimental to its success. We aoqui esoe in, although protesting against the unwise and Injudicious course which they punned. We say with John <J- Adams that "there Is no good govern ment bnt what ts Republican, for the LOS ANGELES. SATURDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 13, 1884.—SIX-PAGE EDITION. Republic Is an empire of laws and not of men." For reasons herein set forth we recom- 1 mend this organization to support the nominees of the Democratic party for President and Vice President made at j Chi ego July 10, 1884, and submit for i Its consideration and adoption the fol lowing resolution: I Resolved, That we, the Democratic- Republican General Committee of the City and County of New York, iv Turn many Hall assembled, hereby ratify aud endorse the nominations by the Na tional Democratic Convention, held in Chicago, July 10, 1884, for President, Grover Clovelaud, of New York; for Vice-President, Thomas A. Hondrtcks, of Indiana, and hereby pledge ourselves to an earnest and cordial support of the candidates so nominated. Senator Grady, rising to protest against the passage of this resolution, and the adoption of this addrtss, made a long speech. He reviewed the whole political career of Cleveland, and quoted freely from the eolsmrs tf the Time* and Herald in the past In support of the position that he [Grady] had now taken. Grady's speech occupied an hour in delivery. He was obliged to make sev eral pauses to allow the audience to give expression to Its approval of his ideas. W- Bourke Cochrane, who it was ex pected would also pronounce against Cleveland, followed Grady. He ssid: "There iia dnty which every Democrat has to perform. At the present crhm he mast subordinate his action to tbe inter ests of his party. No person contended more vigorously than I against the nomination of Grover Cleveland. No one opposed moro earnestly the folly of passing over in silence and indifference the heroes of the psrty iv order to nomi nate a man who w aw forced apoa the at tention of his party merely by the press andafewrefractory Republicans who had never failed to express their abhorence of our principles and their contempt for ourselves. Had snob a man as we wanted been nominated we would have given him a majority such as we are asked to give t Grover Cleveland. I hear a cry of distress throughout the country, and tbat cry calls me to arms for the Democratic tioket. [Cheers. J Tarn many Hell was not organized to be gov erned by a feeling toward or from men. It is a body of principle, Beyond re venge lies patriotism. Beyond dissatis faction lies liberty. Under these two master impulses you will win. Tam many Hall is the Old Guard of the Dem ocratic party, and there we wilt htay," [Long and contiuued cheers, during which Cochrane seconded the resolution and sat down.] There were frantic cries for "John Kelly," but that gentleman shook hia head and spoke not. The Chairman ordered the Secretary to call the roll on the adoption of the resolution. Ashe read the names only a small portion of the members answered to their names. When the name of ex-Assemblyman Raesch was called be arose and protested against the proceedings. He was per emptorily called to order. The result of tbe vote was 870 ayes and 87 naves. A committee was thon appointed to make arangements for a grand ratifica tion meeting and after tha calt for primary elections was read the meeting adjourned. The Texas Order of Things. Galveston, Sept. ]2. —A Dallas special says; Bill Taylor, the negro ttend who made a dastardly assault on Mrs. Flippeu, on the night of June £2d, waa taken to-day from officers by a posse of nine men. The officers were bringing Taylor from Waxahachie to Dallas for safe keeping. When a few miles out of Waxahachie the officers were surprised and captured with the prisoner in charge. Tbe posse proceed ed onward toward Dallas. At 11 o'olook to-night, when fonr miles from the city, the posse was joined by another posse of forty masked men, who quickly swung the negro to a limb of a tree. Tbe Sheriff and constable, who had been with the prisoner all day were told to skip. Taylor protested his innocence with his last breath. Aetle« ef tke PrealeW.

The French demand for Indemnity, they claim is not in accordance with tho five articlea of that treaty, Is iv prejudice of their friendly relations aud contrary to international laws. Tsuag Li Yamen asks If the government of France cannot wait until China with* draws her troops from Tonquin, when a complete treaty will be arranged. They also aver that if the question of indent* nity Is not considered at being settled by tho Tien Tsin treaty, demand for indemnity is op posed to the third article. It is la* mentable that arrangement*, for makiug a proper treaty should be delayed by a demand lor indemnity. Tho forcible taking of guaranty and indemnity ia con trary to the treaty and compels China to five t taty powers. The history of the onquin question, together with the pro test of China is prepared and the latter government awaits an opportunity to discuss the question.

Miracles. Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll aaid in his lecture, on Friday that there Is no such thing in nature as a miracle, whloh is an unnatural result of a supernatural cause, aud its effect could always be ex plained by the law of nature, and he spoke, among other instances, of Jacob's ladder which he said was an impos* sibility. Bnt Col. Ingersoll has uo need to mystify himself or hia hearers with recitals of ancient miracles of whloh there are no living witnesses. He should come out of the clouds of sophistry, even oome to Port Townsend and hear the Oracle relate his wondrous experience There ia living here an ancient mariner with glittering eye and anowy beard, who tells a ladder story which we would like Col. Ingersoll to explain. The mariner says he saw in the streets of Liverpool, England, a street jnggler who set a long ladder on end, and hav ing carefully balanced it, he climbed to the top, then he pulled the ladder up and again climbed until he went out of sight. Also, that he saw a sailor with a ball of tarred spun yarn under bia arm gazing wistfully into the clouds; pres ently he climbed a lamp post, mane faat one end of bis spun yarn, then unrolled It and began to climb heavenward, unrollißg as he went, until he too rose out of sight. The an cient mariner relates bow he once attempted to drill a hole in a rock of ada mantine hardness, in California, and after wording bard all day and breaking seventeen drills, he found at night that instead of a hole, there was a protuber ance or bump on the rock four inches high. The ancient mariner also relates as a fact, that on one occasion the fog waa so thick at Port Townsend, that he snt out a solid block of it with his sheath knife and stuffed it into a pickle jar, where he kept it corked up for six months, condensing it into liquid, which he used to cure rheumatism, and it was the most effective medicine ever known. How can Col. Ingersoll explain these facts, which are related by living wit nesses now residing at Port Towusend? "Something wrong here, sure." Wp don't nad that tbe angels pulled up Ja cob's laddur after them as did the Liver pool acrobat, and moreover we read that it was a vision that Jacob saw. But the Liverpool ladder and spun yarn story, the rock bulging up under the drill, are stories related by a disciple of aud be liever in Ingersoll, who tells us that he don't believe in miracles, and if those are not miracles we would like Col. Ingersoll to rise and explain what they are. When the great iconoclast told us what be did not believe, he kindly in formed ns that hia creed consisted in do ing the greatest amount of good to his fellow beings. In this he emulates the ancient mariner, of whom the poet Col eridge writes, and depicts a state of mind eminently descriptive of that of Inger soll; '•Ob weddln; guest I TnH sonl hath been Alone ou s wide, wide sea ; So lonely 'twas, that God himself Soiree see mod there to be." Tho anoient mariner then gave the wedding guest this advice: "Ileprayeth well who ioveth well Both man, and bird aud boast. He prayeth best who loveth best, All thltiira both great and small; For the dear Uod that loveth us. He made and loveth all." Col. Ingercoll has coma and gone; much that he said was sophistry, and much of dogmatic assertion; but he spoke much also of our duties to each other, of his belief in a future existance, and of a retribution sure to follow every evil act. Those who did not attend the lecture for fear of contamination lost su intellectual treat. Col. Ingersoll aud the ladies of bis family, remarked that at no place since they left Washington have they received such marked kiud nesa, hospitality and courtesy aa at port Townsend, and they take with them the mo«t pleasant memories of their brief visit at the port of entry of Puget Sound.— Port Townsend Argus. What Cookling Thinks of Cleveland Albany, Sept. 2 — Ex-Chairman of the Republican State Committee, John F. Smyth, and Georgo C. Gorham, ex- Clerk of tbe United States Senate, made a long call on Governor Gleveland tbis morning. Yesterday Mr. Gorham saw Mr. Conkling, who passed through the city. Mr Gorham has not forgiven Senator Warner Miller, the Blame lead er in this State, for defeating his re-elec tion as Clerk of the United States Sen ate by putting forward Anson G. Mc- Cook, and Mr. Saiyth is at swerda' points with Chairman Warreu, because tbe latter made ex-Assemblyman Draper, Smyth's rival iv Albany county, Chair man of the Republican State Executive Committee. Mr. Conkling 1b reported to have anb stantiully said to a persoual friend: "If Cleveland was a good enough man for Mr. Blame's friends to make Governor of New York, perhaps some Republi cans may think he is a good man to make Presideut," Jersey's independent Republicans. The New Jersey State Independent Republican Committee, which waa or* gaiUKed in Newark on Wednesday, has led to the formation of several county committees, and in Essex a call signed by Hfty names has been sent out for a meeting on Wednesday evening at the office of Edward M Colle, No. 310 Bnmd street, Newark. About 200 names have been added to the roll, and the promoters of the movement feel con fident of 1000 votes in the county. It has been arranged to got CarlSohnra, George William Curtis, ex-Guv. Solomon and other prominent Independents to address a mass-meeting to be held in Newark in October.—3rVuH»ra* Register Blame mey have this consolation, that while the Independents are making things warm for him in Massachusetts, Senator Edmund* has considerably ooolsd the Republican temperature in Vermont.
