N The importance Of the present election and ITS I'M
poranee TO rascas TO everybody else Tor they were
10 be put out Of city institutions at the election on

nut in nomination leading New York mer-
chant George 0pdyke. Cheersl and to be leading
merchant, and esteemed as an honorable man IN New
York was "A high endorsement OF ability and integrity
But they called upon TO desert him and support
Mr. Havemeyer, the candidate Of Tammany Hall. But
two years since MIR. Wood was q candidate OF that
same Tammany Hall which sought to defeat their
then champion. Then Tammany Hall would support
the devil ncar,ute, if he had the regular nominal
satjon" aud with such sentiments as that they asked
us now 10 support their candidate Mr. Allen deprecated
such course and said that Republicans would not be
wheeled by any specOus arguments to desert tDeir
own colors. We had from time to time been promised
that if we would sustain the Democratic candidate We
rhould have taxes lessened But how it We
had each wear increased taxation we had had
Hayemeyer for Mayor two terms, and each time
brought an increased taxation When We were ealoed
into supporting Temann we were promised decreased
taxation but under his administration had increased
Now we should try and elect our own man. MI
Allen then spoke in high terms Of Mr.. Hull the cand,
date for Corporation Counsel. Our ticket, too had
cd nv he
reioiced at the fact IL source OF regret that
parties having the end iii view should be divided
lie called upon all OF the Opposition, no matter what
their causes of dissatisfaction, 10 vote for the man
whom they thought ought TO be elected, AID not act
on the principle of biting off their noses TO spite their
own faces. They had now the Democracy divided,
,s 49, tei- :u~r &c take the reins Of the City Gov
a~aw - i,fh = oWl snas, and with four years OF
Republican administration the city would show bright
contrast with the pact and present
nag. NJ. made an analysis Of the vote the bust
mayoralty election, and said that unless there were
Judas lscarOts among us we could ana would carry
the day tCheeTs.l Ii il were that the city was 10 90
under the control Of the Democratic party and in 1850
we have Federal patronage and City patronage TO stuff
our ballot boxes and poll fraudulent votes, 1t would be
"A lasting disgrace upon our city. lie was party man,
and were he sure OF defeat he would not swerve from
his duty for he was certain that at least could hold
balance of power that would always Insure an honest
and faithful administration OF our city government
Much had been said about responsibility and Greene
Bronson had been brought out TO bolster up Wood,
and Hayemeyer and Tlden to sustain Tammany Hail.
Bnt with responsibility at the head OF the party OF
Tammany Hall and the Pewter Mug at the tall there
was inconsistency. In conclusion Mr. Woodford
made stirring appeal to the Republicans that they
should stand by their guns in support OF ticket on
which were men of sterling integrity and ability and
one of whom was one OF the leaders OF the banner
ward of the city.
lie spoke of Mr. Hull in high terms as gentleman OF
high legal requirements and integrity of character
with whom he had pracced in the Courts, and who
nnaided had made his way 10 position IN the hrst
ranks Of the bar Of this city lie examined and crit
After speakng in general terms of the Importance Of the
issue, Mr. Williams concluded.
Joseph Hoxie, ESQ.,, was next announced and he
was received with loud applause He said this looked
as much like camp-meeting as anything, but ne
hone next week 10 be able 10 meet them Tor love-
feast. lIaughterl The question now asked how
we were TO vote to prevent the calamity OF the cleo
ton of Fernando Wood. There was but one way Tor
us to prevent the disgrace of having a man at the
head Of City Government, who, justice had been
done him, would years ago have been accommodated
with rural comforts at Sing Slug, at the expense OF the
State. ILaughterl The only way to do that was to
vote for George 0pdyke. He knew Mr.. Havemeyer,
and he knew nothing against him, but all in his favor.
But that NOT TO say there were not others his equals
and Oh DIV Ike was one ofthose. Mr. HGvemeyers should
be counted of the contest If he not already
out. He had known Mr. Opdyke for 30 years, and he
would say that, in IS years experience in city politics,
he never saw ticket he would more earnestly vote
for than the one presented. Mr.. Hull, too, could
always be found in the thckest of the battle-had
been faithful 70 his own integrity and TO the party
Then, TOO, they should elect man OF the worth and
ability of VIM. r. Pnkney and who had 50 long served
the people, as Aims House Governor-an office with
out emolnment But who was Il that asked us 10
leave our candidates, and support Hayemeyer, and
Tldsn, and McElroy The Fifth-avenue Democrats
Royal Phelps, and other royal tellows--who
had accused of the most noble and
honorable men OF this country of crimes, which if they
were guilty of them would consign them 10 the gall
lows. He had said that Mr. Havemeyer WAS a good
nan, but man was TO be judged Of by the company
he keeps, he cOuld only say that MIR. Havcmeyer
was in most internal bad company. lLaughterl. There
was Terence Farley, candidate for Alderman in the
Nineteenth Ward who robbed the Treasury, and
under Indictment to-day for that Then there
was a man named Barry, candidate from
the Sixth Ward who had been indicted
and tried and convicted and sentenced 10 four
months in the Penitentary, for committing an assault
m house of ill-iame Were not these pretty PAIR
of pups lIaughter.l Then there Jim Irving,
and Johnny Austin and Tom Byrnes. Ii men would lay
down with dogs, they must expect 10 get up with
neas. IIaughter.l II they were going TO 90 IN such
company he hoped they would take of their Ropub-
hcan coats first Mr. HoXie closed with stirring APP
peal 10 work from 10 election.
Mr. Hull, the candidate for Corporation Counsel,
shen entered the room, and was received with lond
cheers. He said;

Republican party since il had It's organization, to see
70 many faces here tonight and 10 receive the happy
