DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING IN BROoKLYN.
~-~~>e~c~e<~~~~~~~o~oo~~
democratic mass meeting was held last evening
at the Brooklyn Academy or Music 10 ratfy the
State, county, Senatorial judiciary, city and Assem-
bly, nominations. There was q large and respectable
attendance and throughout considerable enthusiasm
was manifested. The stage was densely crowded
with many Of the great political guns Of Kings
county. The Academy was tastefuliy decorated
with nags ana banners and the band contributed
largely to eniiven the proceedings At eight O'Clock
the meeting was called to order by Mr.. James p
Craig who nominated General Slocum for chairman
General Slocum on being introduced to the chair
was received with loud applause He said that they
had assembled TO r8tiy the nomination OF the state
and local conventions. The democratic party had
presented four State officers, and they were the
names OF gentlemen who were elected by them two
years ago. They were the names OF the men who
were ied and faithful and ut the time these gentle
men assumed the duties OF the ONCE TO which they
were elected 1t was universally admitted,
even by republicans, that they sustained
those Offices without bringing discredlt or
disgrace upon the State. Their republican pre-
decessors were brought before republican Senate
elected by republican Assembly for their miscon-
duct. No word OF complaint was uttered against
our candidates The democratic party had there
fore resolved to again present their names to the
people. After commencing the nomination for the
udgeshp Of the Court OF Appeals he then referred to
the local nominations SO popular were these nom
nations that 1t was difficult for the republican party
to prevent their party endorsing the dem
ocratic nominations by placing their candl-
dates on the republican ticket. There was
an objection to MIR. Cunninenam's nomination
although it had been good fortune to be thus
Elongated, IT must not be forgotten that he had spent
the greater part OF his life In the protection of the
lives and property OF those whose suffrage he asked
for. He had not enjoyed that education which was
at the command of the wealthy; he would give the
result OF his experience and the fruit OF his tolls in
protecting the property Of his constituents General
Slocum concluded by stating that it would give HIM
great pleasure to introduce the distinguished stran
gers who were on the stage, and who would take
part IN the proceedings.
The following resolutions were then put ana unani-
mousy adopted

Mr. :. s. Cox then delivered heightened address,
In the course OF which he recaptuated the ideas to
which he gave expression the previous evening at
Taulmany Hail. MIR. Cox was repeatedly interrupted
with applause.
The CHAIRMAN then introduced the Mayor OF New
York, who was cordially received. General Carey
was also mentioned as one of the speakers.
