Institute Meeting.

New York, Sept. 8.
! The Herald, Tribune and Times reCar
: : last nights meeting at the Cooper Insti
tute as great success. The World, how
ever, thinks ii was u Custom House atIai
and that the action OF the meeting stamp
ed 1t US the work OF Custom House fac
tion, who duped and inveigled some wei
meaning citizens to take part in its pro
ceedings, The Tribune speaking of thC
meeting, says: "The people OF New Yorl
have given fair warning to tho shameless
clique, which has tyranized over them 81
many years, that they will submit NJ
longer TO It's eXtOrtions, and will break
down the machinery Of the party; drive
the swindleH certainly into Obscurity, Il
possible into prison" 1t Is thought thai
the Tammany leaders were somewhat dis
contented at last nights demonstration al
the Cooper Institute.
A meeting had been announced to take
place at TammRny Hall last night, but II Is
said there were so few in attendance that
no action was taken, The meeting ad.

THE REFORM MOVEMENT.
Some Of the Tammany leaders to-day
boldly maintain that the meeting last
night will result in nothing, and that the
power OF Tammany will be In nOwise
shaken by It's action. II Is asserted that
the name Of August Belmont, which
headed the call for the meeting, was o
forgery, and that the principal movers in
the affair were sOre.hGaded place hunters.
They claim also that the absence OF mon
who are well known In business and poll.
tics Is q sign Of the weakness Of the de.
monstraton. There Is Il little feeling,
however, that tho meeting has laid the
foundation for public sentiment which
will secure, sooner or later, the reforms
which are so much needed by the gov.
ernment. The chief demand Is for the
repeal Of the present charter, which was
adopted years ago rs the result Of nm ar.
rangement between the Democratic Re

This charter placed the appointment Of
important city ofllCGrs-sucli, for instance,
as that Ot COntrOller-in the hands
of the Mayor, and otherwise di.
verted from the people the powers
heretofore exercised by them. This Is u
question about which will spring the
main issue Of the lallelectlOns. The com.
