The Empire Standardization Meeting.
meeting Of this club was held last evening at
Masonic Hall, Thirteenth street. to rafy the recent
nominations by the National Democratic Convention.
Mr.. Isaiah Rynders presided, and having called the
meeting to order, said he was not surprised at the
very limited attendance, because he attributed 1t to
the extremely oppressive atmosphere which pre-
vailed. The speaker was perfectly right The meet
ing was like a very hot bubble of the Democratic
Convention pot which boiled furiousy for four days
and on the fifth ended in the evaporation OF all the
water that was to turn the big Wheel He wished
to state Notwithstanding statements to the con-
trary that he would give Seymour and Blair his
unqualified support. He then proceeded to review
the course OF the republican party and dwelt at con-
siderable length the present aspect OF events
tending that IN the lexicon OF the democratic party
there was no such word as "fail." (Applause.) No
doubt he continued, the leading and most promi-
nent journal OF America, the NEW YORK HERALD, had
stated that the die OF the democratic party was cast
consequent upon the recent nominations; but he
would add that the result of the die was not yet de-
termined. In conclusion he called upon the members
OF the club to stand firm to the nominations which
would be rewarded with success.
The Vice President then presented series OF reso-
lutions to the effect that this club do cordially re-
spond to the nominations Of seymour and Blair, as
made by the National Democratic Convention re-
neq as ana amen "a tS 70 S
which they were nominated; that this club do sim
cerey approve OF and concur in the platform adopted
dalton OF the principles that should control and
govern the financial question of the nation and that
In their triumph all distinctions OF class become
Obliterated, and that equal and distinct protection
should be conferred alike upon the rich and the poor
and that this club do also pledge its adherence and
support OF the enunciations contained In that plat
form, as true and consistent embodiment Of the
constitutional principles which underle the f0unda-
ton Of the supegstrpcture Of the g9ysEnment.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted.
MI. O. 81. Backett, Captain Mosley, Of Georgia Mr..
Hamburger and Captain Thompson subsequently ad.
dressed the meeting In very brief terms, most OF
them Offering their respective excuses for their
several 0rati0ns the great heat which prevailed.
None Of them said anything new, and all were glad
to retire amid the decidedly ab0red applause for the
slightest exertion was productive Of stream Of per
| spirat0n. Among other notable events scarcely
worthy Of record, the huge jug Of ice water dsap
peared with rapidity that spoke volumes foT the
| thirst Of the numerous Demosthenes.
Mr.. Quill, OF Savannah, wound up the proceedings
with an exciting address, in which he deliberately
detailed the present condition OF the Southern States
/ after which the meeting adjourned.
