Cheering News for the Liberals
from the Country.
There were about two thousand persons assem-
Oled in 'front.' OF Tammany Hall last night to witness
and hear the proceedings Of the democratic and
liberal republican ratification meeting announced
for that time and place. The streets were very
muddy, the street cars and other methods Of
locomotion have been for days somewhat insufl-
Cient, there were no fireworks or other extraneous
methods Of attraction, and there had been an un-
usually limited amount Of advertising and 'billing"
for the occasion, and these drawbacks may
have afected the success Of the meeting. At
any rate, the crowd on the street was
not the Overn0wing, noisy, full-ofnght crowd that
Tammany has prided herself on getting together
In former times. The people on the sidewalks lis
tened too decorously to put much enthusiasm into
the souls that have been tried by the October
times, but for the purpose Of ratification meeting,
such things being considered necessary endorse
ments to the promissory notes OF the nominating
convention, the sign-manual Of Tammany and the
liberal republicans may be said TO have been un-
mistakably scrawed across the face Of the nomina-
ti0ns.
In front OF Tammany Hall two platforms, lavishly
decorated with nags and blue and gold bunting,
were erected, and above them hung rows Of
Chinese lanterns with the faces OF Greeley and
Brown dimly Illuminated by the nickering lights
within. From these platforms, which were more
pr0fusely filed with policemen than citizens,
distinguished lot Of local politicians spoke to the
people. A rather dlsagreeable wind prevailed at
the time and 1t was somewhat difficult to talk, but
not much more 30 on that account than by reason
Of the lack OF fiery, impulsive, enthusiastic
crowd to talk to- The speaking outside ceased
about half-past nine.
Inside the hall and gallery were well filed, all the
seats being taken, and the assemblage frnging
pretty thickly the edges beyond, where there was
standing room only. There were half a dozen
women in the front, who seemed astonished at find
Ing no other women there, and familiar tinge OF
the Tammany complexion among the hard-l0Oking
cases standing in the aisles But, taken as whole.
there was much more OF the gray headed solidity
ofNew York in the seats, the gold-headed cane and
gentlemen Of the old Jeffer-
sonian democratic school, than Tammany probably
has been enabled to assemble at her ratification
mestings since the days of william L. Marcy.
Here, while the decorous element prevailed beyond
the average experience OF Tammany, there was
no lack OF noise or enthusiasm, The cheers that
were given were full of hearty will, and the at
tenti0n given to the speakers was close and evil
IDENTIFY interested. When the names OF Greeley
herman and Lawrence were mentioned the shouts
were Of the real hot-blooded kind, and hats and
handkerchiefs were waved as supplemental testi-
m0nial to the favor in which these names were
held. When the names OF Commissioner Daven-
port, Hartranft and Simon Cameron occurred in the
body OF the speeches the Kisses were loud and
venomOus, and on each occasion drowned the
speakers voice.

Mr.. TIEMANN said that 1t was now about eighteen
years since he presided at meeting OF Tammany
Han: AS it is about that time since Tammany
elected honest men, ne was there again, as they
had now begun to do what they did then.
