Last evening, the new Horticultural Hall, on
Broad street, was packed with an assemblage
which, IN point OF numbers and enthusiasm,
surpassed ans ything OF the kind ever before seen
within its walls. The occasion was a mass
meeting of the Republican voters of Philade-
phia, for the purpose OF ratifyng the nomina
ton o the candidates presented to the people of
the city by the Conventions which recently
concluded their labors Tue hail was beauti-
fully oInamented with lestoons of the national
eolors and over the stage were placed lfe-hke
portraits OF the three men who hold the first
place in the hearts of the people-Wa ashington,
lincoln, and Grant. On the curtain at the rear
of the stage were the arms of the republic, and
OF the good old Commonwealth OF Pennsylvania.

ite national and other airs we're dscoursed by a
band OF music, and when the large delegation
from the Tenth Ward made its entree into the
hall, the music received a reinforcement also
This delegation bore q large transparency, on
which was painted the significant motto, "Tenth
Ward=Old Reliable" The appearance of the
sold Reliableh was fttingly greeted with
hearty outburst OF applause The arrival OF
Senator Nye, of Nevada, which took place soon
after, was the signal for another round of ap
plause, the veteran rom the Far West being
greeted by reception for which the word ova-
tion Is the most fitting term. As soon a. Sena-
tor Nye was seated, MIR. William r. Leeds, the
Chairman of the City Republican Executive
