But still the tide pouring in and working it's way
where there appeared to be no channel for it. Sky
rockets shot up into the air from the balcony filling the
room with sulphurous atmosphere. couple of calcium

these professions carried banners and Transparent
cies, bearing notices complimentary to Mayor Wood and
he other county candidates of the democratic party.
Altogether the demonstration was, have said the
largest and enthusiastic that was probably
seen in Tammany.
The meeting was called to order by JoHN p. Buecs,
who said-Felow citizens and democrats, met
here night under peculiar circumstances We met
obedience the call ef the General Committee TO raty
the nomination Of the democratic candidate for the Mayor
atty. The black republicans have declared that must
have two elections this fall So let be- but you have
given a victory TO Tucker in November you will give
victory TO Fernando Wood ID December Our enemies
have brought out what they call peoples candidate but
have the candidate Of the people. now propose
chairman Of this meeting the Hon John Kelly (Cheers.)
HON JOHN KELLY's SPEECH.
Mr. KELLY then came forward amid renewed applause,
and sad-We assembled tonight under the most try
ing circumstances ratfy the nomination of cand
date for Mayor Of this ciy-for the Of selection
am sorry to say by people too, who call themselves
members OF the democratic party But Fernando Wood

n connection with the Joseph walker AFFAIR." yet
when the case was investigated by the Common
Council they exempted him from all the charges and no
stands perfectly Of the crimes alleged against him
Now they have trumped another charge, in relation TO
NE glass ballot boxes These must be very deficient
Of capital when they such contemplate tricks
these. II is true that Fernando Wood is an ambitious
man So, l suppose is every man in this crowd He de-
sires position and ne has obtained H. He has brought
INTO the Office Of the Mayoray more intellect, more Ia
knts, ability, than any man who has preceded him;
these necessary requirements most OF them were
wholly deficient. Many Of the men who denounced the
Police and with the people he was sorry TO
say were to be found meeting together for the pur
rose OF defeating the who stood up boldly and man
FULLY against that bill and all the rest OF the corrupt black
republican legislation. Every democratic nominee must
expect to be assaied by the black republican and Amer
can PARTIES; but men who have re-
ceived The emoluments e once rom tne nanus oi Demo

the most Infamous blackguard the purheus OF the
chy can produce. Fernando Wood received the
regular nomination In that building, as no had
often done before, and there never was man
who nllcd the chair OF the chief MAGISTRATE with
more ability since the days OF Daniel b Tompkins.
There y a small party Of men assaing him who will
be coming back to this old building and asking the people
10 forgive them and elevate them into position, but ho
hoped they would make such feel the condemnation
of the people He spoke boldly and fearessy caring for

told that he responsible because the taxes were
raised from four 70 eight millions but was he the ega
tive as well the executive powerY The democracy OF
Tammany Hall do not believe these charges, and the
secrets of mems hearts known II would be found
that the people OF the city were IN favor OF him,
though the republican and American party were against
him Besides though he made no distinction between the
rich and the poor Fernando Wood was emphatcaly the
friend Of the workingmen.
Mr. KmrxY then read the regular democratic ticket
calling for expression OF the will Of the meeting on
each name; every OF which unanimous answer OF
nAye'' was given. One ventured o say 'So' 10 Mr.
woods and the Chairman remarked that nc must DO
afrend OF the Mayors who wanted 10 show his friend
ship by being in the opposition.
In conclusion Mr. Kelley proposed that when the meet
ing adjourn they should proceed 10 the 81 Nicho
las Hotel where he promised them, the man who
yieiy assaed would defend himself from all the charges
made against him.
