largest meeting held in Philadelphia. The native
meeting in 1896 the time the "big ships brought
out very large gathering and stands were erected
in Chestnut street for the speakers but in point of
bers it is generally conceded that the democratic cons
tutional meeting exceeded it. Throughout the evening
from and half until after ten the greater portion of
the square was dense Of men and women Crowds
were passing in and continually and the greatest
hllsiasm prevailed The speakers all well received
and the fact that they made short and more pointed
speeches than is usual such OCCASIONS feature
the appreciated. The display of fireworks at the
close of the demonstration quite pretty. The de
