A Democratic meeting was held
IN the Park. New York, on Monday
evening while James T. Brady was

He was speechess when he was con-

that both The kidneys and the spine Of
the back have been considerably injur.

weight Of the crowj which came down
upon him was so great that the

cievCd are only very trivial-a slight

Mr.. Walsh has been for come time pas,
suffering from disease oi the lungs, and
the injuries which he sustained last
night will for this reason take greater
effect upon him, than they would if he
had been in sound state OF health at
the time. Mr.. Walsh is in a very pre-.
carious position, but his physicians en-
terlarn hopes Of his ultimate recove-
