THE MASS MEETING LAST NIGHT.
The Old Third all Right.
a srenr on WASHINGTON SQUARE.

a SIGN On WASHTNGT0N SQUARE.
The Bell and Eyelatt mass meeting last night, at
Washington Square, Third District, was one Of the
very largest ever seen in that end of the city.
Next TO the Bell and Everett meeting on Canal
street, it was the largest one we have seen this
season.
A proper platform had been prepared and set oil
with flags and the square was brightly Illuminated
Neither fireworks nor music were wanting to give
the meeting handsome opening and closing.
The lateness OF the hour at which the meeting
adjourned prevents us from giving anything like
a detailed report.
The meeting was organized by the appointment
and ratification Of the following gentlemen MS Of
ficers:
Prestlent-HoS. j. BERMUDEz. .-=..
Vice Presidents- Greenwood, J. NJ. La
peyre, Webster Long, John Culbertson, Theophile

Speeches were made by the President Judge
Bermudez, and by Messrs. L. Madison Day, B. F
JONAS Col. Ed White of Jefferson City, l.. BE
Lane, and Charles Outlet, the latter quite you'll
and member of the Young Bell Ringers" The
different speeches were vigorous and telling, GOV
ering the whole field of national politics and the
merits and demerits of the different Presidential
candidates. The speech of Alr. GuiIlet,) his frs
in public,) was uncommonly fine for nader
effort, and closed the meeting amid all the enthu
siasm with which it opened,
| Tile meeting was not a little enlivened by tllt
presence Of the Young Bell Ringers I and tht
Everett Rangers" all from the First District
and the latter from the Third Ward. Both bodie
were out in strong force, with innumerable ban
ners and transparencies bearing patriotic mottoe
and devices.
The chief transparency of the Everett Ranger
excited much mrth. On one side was picture @
two roosters, in the last stage of Kilkenny fight
with the explanation beneath: /" The Harmoniou
Democracy On another side was this Wher
are all the cock's-combs? {picture Of chicken il
place of the painted name Of the bird) Cut by Gen
Leslie Coombs!n On another side the lines
/ "The BELL summons you TO sit
| At the best feast you Everett;
| Our guests Unionists, @"M
| And we're opposed to faetionIsts."
II would please US, if we had the time and room
to mention the numerous comic and patriot
phrases which decorated the other transparences
1t was well on to IL O'Clock when the meetin
adjourned. The clubs above mentioned forme
again in procession, and, with their banners, tram
parencies, music and rockets, created life enoug
on their line Of march up town.
The size and quality Of the meeting on wasl
ington Square last night surprised even the Thr
Districters themselves. It was but a foreshadop
ing Of what will be seen ere we see the ides
November. .."" ..s
