Notwithstanding the inclement state OF the
weather there was large crowd OF republicans az
the Cooper Institute ratification meeting last night
The ra,u mourning down In torrents about eight
O'Clock, and the asa s;asieye. &c ,asuae" the

very lonely work OF 1t. But few patriots had the
courage to remain for any length of time In she
same place to witness
THE BLUE LIGHT EXPLOSIONS
IN mi,i-a.r and even the band, that stationed Itself
under the protecting agls OF the big stoop fronting
on Aston place had to give way before the storm
and find more c0ngenial climate below stairs.
However, by nalfpast seven O'Clock the large
hall was well crowded. The gathering
vas not what was expected. for although
all the seats In the main body OF the hall
were occupied, there were many vacant seats
10 the left and right of the stage and ample stand
ing room on all sides round about the outside row
OF chairs. Still the gathering was large one for
such night and what probably was better than
crush OF ell sorts OF people, was that the men who
composed It we're OF the solid. respectable order
men VINO looked as though they paid taxes and had
more than professional politicians interest In the
discussions Of the political situation which took
place.
The walls IN the rear Of the platform were gayly
bedecked with flags and bunting and ON both sides
Of the stage small portrait Of "Franz Sige, our
choice for Register" was plastered against the
Nays. There was

by peaceable measures, and when he threatened
that II there was at the ensuing election miscOunt

the glee CLUB. who sang about "There's Mutiny In
the Army" created great deal of laughter.
The meeting was opened by Mr.. Townsend nomi
mating Horace Greeley as chairman. Mr. Greeley
