At least two thousand Irishmen as
sembled in Brevoort Hall, Fifty fourth
street, near Third avenue, last evening
in answer to 40 inflammatory call for a
meeting, apparently to denounce Gov.
Hoffman, really to justify the riot of the
10Th, and prepare for another. The
immense room, at least 100 feet square,
was packed, seats, aisles. and around
the walls with an orderly, decent, de-
termined multitude. Not an inch of
vacant space remained Every man in
the room looked like an intelligent man.
The leaders sat on raised platform
at the northern end of the room. They
included Stephen j. Meany of the
Irish Democrat, D. p Conyngham of
the iSuadoy Democrat, John A.
O'Brien, DR.. Waters, Mr. White, Mr..
Mccormick. and Messrs. Thornton,
Hanley and Crimuins, the Committee

John \. O'Brien was chosen to pre-

when Irishmen must take to heart some
of the greavsst thoughts which ever
filed mans heart; first, how we can
aveuge the blood which has been shed
Twld applause and secondly, how We
can secure to men of eur blood, our
breeding, and our bone, their proper
place in the land of our adop'ion.-
