tried 10 break the Republican meeting /:
about 200 drunken ones were around the
door AID went in aud gave three cheers for
Seymour and Blair; the Republicans then
gave three cheers for Grant and Colfsx and
those Republicans nearest the door en-
deavored to put the rioters ou,. and hard

: last victorious. The police, who are Demo
cratic, Valianily remained in the back
ground. One solitary Tanner. who an.
preached the door in uniform. was chased
through the streets. aud escaped only
through the swiItncss OF his heels
About two or three hundred arc now
