A Monster Mass Meeting OF 1nde p endent
~xsst-- Democrat.
A mass meeting Of tde Independent democratic
voters OF the seventeenth Assembly district was
held last evening at National Hail. corner Forty
fourth street, near Ninth avenue. AT eight O'Clock
there were about 5000 people in the room, and the
utmost enthusiasm prevailed.

James P. Campbell secretary OF the meeting. the
Secretary read q series OF resolutions ndorsing
the democratic State and county nominations.
They were received with loud cheers.
Mr.. John II. Fellows then addressed the meet
ing. He reminded es hearers that no ordinary or
petty local issues .ere to be decided at the coming
election. The field embraced the entire nation,
and the result VI November would merely indicate
the issue OF the contest IN 1875 As surely as the
disaster at Waterloo, though fought far from the
yates OF Paris yet as eectually opened the gates
Of that city as though fought under Its walls So the
Issue OF the present struggle would as surely hur
the republican party from power. He bes0ught
hts hearers to bear this IN mind and remember It
was now in their power by doing their duty, TO
put an end finally and forever to the misgovern.
inert which they had too long borne.
Mr.. Fellows was followed BY William B. Rankin
OF New Jersey; Mr.. M. McLarkin, James d. NC
,Clelland and several others. on the. platform
during the evening were Judge Henry Murray
Hugh Murray, Charles Campbell, John Rockman,
William King and many other prominent citizens
OF the Twenty.sec0nd ward.
Before the termination OF the meeting the
Chairman announced that the association IN mass
meeting assembled would choose their own capdl-
date Tor Assembly on next Monday evening.
