cation meeting last night at the wigwam in Four
teenth street. There were the usual preparations
made to give the occasion something OF the ola
ecIat which In erst times used TO usher In victories
OF the great democracy. Much was wanting 10
bring the meeting and its surroundings up to the
standard OF the past on such occasions. The
great deslderata OF success-the defeat OF the
party and the overthrow Of the leaders who few
years ago rallied to the Tammany standard the
bone and slnew-were facts sufficient to dampen
the usual enthusiasm; but, Notwithstanding all
these, the rally last night may be accepted as
forerunner OF change for the better in the
fortunes Of Tammany The wigwam was crowded
from the opening Of the proceedings to the
close. The speakers-theugh some OF the more
prominent Of the orators Of the party were una
voidably absent were in full force and were equal
to the occasion. Outside the building, on either
side, platforms were erected bedecked with nags
and bunting and festooned with colored lights,
from which the crowds in the street addressed
on the political vexed questions OF the campaign.
Bonnres blazed in the 'front.' while ever and anon
professions, preceded and accompanied with varie-
gated lanterns and heralded by bands Of music,
passed along, eliciting the cheers of all the young
braves who sported themselves around the bon
fires.
The meeting inside was presided over by the
venerable Samuel j. Tilden, who has just returned
from taking the medicinal waters of the spes OF the
Continent as If he had not been compelled to take
water for so many years past here at home.
Other salning lights OF the old democracy, such
as Ex-Governor Seymour, Francis Herman, Nichols,
Montgomery Blair and others, were conspicuous
from the ratification by their Absence but which
they accounted for by letters OF excuse.
The speeches, such as they were, consisted OF the
old-time platitudes without the force and vim and
insplriting eloquence OF the men who, dozen
years ago, made the old wgwam ring and sent
the unterrifed home reathing vows to do or die
for the cause OF the democracy. Under all the
circumstances the ratification was o success and
the Apolo-Republcan League will have to put
forward monster effort to secure for their ratih.
cation such q demonstration as that which marked
the endorsement Of the regular democratic ticket
last night.
