Meeting at Cooper Insiitute-COm.
ments of the Press.
This morning and evening the press
generally comment on the Liberal Re-
publican meeting at the Cooper lnstI-
tute last night
The Tribune says:
at was the largest meeting in Cooper
Institute since the war, and one equal
to the best in every element Of respect
ability, influence and devotion to Re
publican principles II any ever had a
fear that the administration patronage,
or crack OF the party, which, by party
upstairs over party leaders, could silence
or overawe the reformers, this meeting
alays his fears"
The World SAYS
IF this great and spirited movement
is foretaste Of Cincinnati, the Demo-
cratic party can well afford to watch
and wait But it must nevertheless
reserve its final judgment till the pres
ent hopeful anticipations shall ripen,
by the progress of events, into estab'
lished facts
The Star says:
THE vast number of earnest listeners
present shows the deep interest there is
felt in the work, and the earnest oppo-
stion to the administration.
The Stn says:
There has seldom been in this city
such a meeting. The people were called
together solely by principle and politl;;
cal interest. 1t was very evident to all
that the men who met there were IN
grim earnest for reform Of the Ma
tional Administration.
The Herald SAYS
THE walls of Cooper Institute re-
echoed last night 10 the call of Repub-
lican soreheads for a rally at the Gin
cinnati Convention. Senators Trqmbull
and Schurz, with all the usual sur
roundings Of hot foggy impetuosity,
laid their little panacea for the ills OF
the Union before the meeting, and
retired in the full expectancy Of seeing
the seeds of Republican discomfort,
which they had sown for the first time
in New York, develop before morning.
The Times says:
"The Democrats and the Greeley
Tammany Republicans were almost the
only movers in it, the policy being to
ALLEVIATE Republicans from the party.
Nothing was done or said that was in
consistent with that policy. The forfeit
ed fortunes of these men are staked on
that die: they must break up the Repub-
lican party or go out of sight in defeat,
humiliation end disappointment; that is
the prime condition to obtaining Demo
cratic support, without which they are
lost. Considered with reference to this
end, the meeting last evening was a
success.
The Express says:
Never before has Federal corrup-
ton, cruelty and selfishness received so
severe a rebuke. We call this meeting
a sign of the times, and it is very
marked one, but it is hardly more so
than the like manifested in all parts Of
the country. The movement is one not
originating with, controlled by, nor to
any extent participated in by some
three millions OF our Democrats, but it
is'a movement which, as patriotic men
they respect, sympathize with, and
most heartily endorse, and hope to see
victorious in the end
The EVcning Post says: -.
The speeches of Senators Trumbull
and Schurz were the speeches OF states
men of sincere convictions and broad
views; but the resolutions were, alas
the childish treble OF politicians, ut
tered amid the deafening roar of honest
masses. If the Liberal Republi-
cans are to hold their breath in this
way, let us say TO them that they will
not carry with them the masses who
like bold, honest and untrammelled
