Of Fr'ane Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, when .
poor lrishman had Knocked him down and beat
him ignominiously. Cheers from the Irish portion
Of the audience.) This English artist had been in
the habit OF slanderng General Grant by represent
ing him as reelng drunk constantly, and when
Morgan, intoxicated as he was found himself In o
cell for his conduct, Providence must have fur
nished him with little hell Of his own. General
Grant was no nepotist and had placed his foot as
he would on Q SPIDERS back on the bodies of Judge
Dent and Mr.. C0rbin, both br0thers-in-law Of the
President.
Mr.. WILLIAM A. DARLING then followed and said
that he expected the honest democrats Of the dis
trict to send him to Congress, and allow Fernando
Wood the illustrOus politician and adroit schemer,
to stay ct home The speaker said that he was
glad to nnd tnat he had to fight Fernando Wood
singe.handed and alone, as he did not want to go
to Congress from the Tenth district unless by an
honest majority OF the voters or the district. A
glee club then sang gee. and other speakers fol-
lowed, after which the meeting adjourned.

David Freeman presided. Mr.. Freeman stated

himself to the support OF the entire ticket OF the
party and to just administration OF the duties OF
Mayor, should he be elected to the Chief Magis-
tracy OF the city. He did not believe that New
York was penurious city, and he was satisfied
that the laborer should receive proper remunera-
ton for his work; nor did he think that reform In
the administration Of city affairs meant that the
poor man should DO kept waiting for his wages.
Reform meant that stop should be put to the
wholesale punder OF the city treasury by "Rings,"
that procured money dishonesty and used 1t Tor
dishonest purposes. After some remarks from Mr..
Woltman the meeting separated.

THE UNITED NAT1oNALIT1Es.

Grand Rally or the Foreign Popula.
ti0ns i'm support OF Grant and Wilson
at the Cooper Neutrality-suspicious. In
Many Language.
There was an immense assemblage OF the various
foreign elements OF New York city last evening in
the big hall of the Cooper Institute to express their
determination to vote the Grant and Wilson ticket
next Tuesday. The movement was engineered by
General Sigcl and others and is intended to form
the basis Of permanent organization to be known
as the United Narlonalitics. And judging from the
numbers and enthusiasZ OF last nights gathering,
such q purpose will probably be eminently
successful. 1t Is scarcely possible to emu
merate all the various races that thus
met In conclave. There were Germans,
lards and scandinavians, and probably scattering
cqucS OF several other alien nat0nalities. The In
stitute was adorned with admirable taste and never
looked brighter or more cheerful. The platform
was blaze OF nags, draped together IN friendly
embraces, and all round the outside OF the hail
were stationed pennons and banners and trsns-
parencies with legends in many tongues and deco
rated with wreaths OF flowers. On either side OF
ored column, bearing at its summit garland Of
flowers. The most conspicuous feature Of oil, how
ever, was portrait OF General Grant, with the

meeting to order and made q not very long speech
tionalities. % they differed probably al among them
selves in opinions as much as in origin, in educa
ton and In experience, but they were all unit on
the question OF supporting the national ticket OF
Grant and Wilson and Of the Congressman nomi-
mated by the republican party. They perhaps
thought that the administration had erred In some
respects during its three years and half OF power
but as general thing 1t had done right and had
been true and loyal to the best interests Of the best
people in the country. General Sigel denounced
the coalition between Greeley and the democrats
in terms Of the most vigorous invective, and
characterized it as the last efrort OF
the people in the South to sever the
Union, which had cost such terrible and
enormous sacrifices Of blood and treasure. Let
this last attempt the rebels to destroy the repub
lie be 0verthrOwn and the future OF the country
was safe and reconciliation would be possible and
right; for the Southern people would then see that
nothing remained to them but to submit when
they found that their friends in the North were
not so numerous as they still seemed to hope.
General Sigcl nominated Mr. Emil Sauer as per-
manent chairman, a choice which was hailed with
rapturous applause. Mr.. sauer made a few re-
marks In English, acknowledging the honor done
him, and pledging his support to Grant and Wilson,
The remainder OF the speeches were In foreign
languages, and among the orators were Signors
Tinelli and Pratt, Marcus Otterbourg, Mr.. vogtlts
and DR.. Markiewicz. The points were hailed with
frequent and vociferous cheers, though 1t Is but
fair to suppose that but fraction OF the audience
knew at any one time what was being said.
