SENATOR CONKLING ON THE ISSUES OF THE
DAY.
REPUBLICAN RATIFICATION MEETING AT TIE ACAD-
ENVY OF MUsIC-sPEECHEs OF SENATOR CONK-
LING, CONTROLLER SCHROEDER, ALDERMAN
ROPES, AND OTHERS.
The Brooklyn Academy of Music was full to the
doors last evening at the mass meeting called by
the Republican General Committee of Kings County.
The audience in spite OF its size, was not boisterous
with enthusiasm. and listened with patience. but
with rather infreqnenG and feeble applause, to a
speech from Senator Conkling nearly two hours
long. The welcome given to the speaker, however,
was very noisy, and there was a good deal of en-
phatic approval when he got through. Mr.. COnk-
ling's extended discussion of the financial position
OF the Democratic party, and Of the effect upon the
national credit of Democratic victory in this State,
was well received, especially his reference to the
Presidents rugged vetO," which, as he declared,
gave the dcath-blow to imitation. Toward the close
of Mr.. Conklngs speech, after he had announced
that he would speak only moment lOngcr-one or
two rather timid suggestions that he should go on
were here interjected-there was cry for some
thing on the third term, but it did not divert the
address from its prearanged line of argument.
After Mr.. COnkling, Controller Schroeder spoke
briefly, in the midst of the confusion caused by the

was devoted solely to defense of his course in
Office and TO claims of increased economy

was then loudly called for by many, and
in a short speech vigorously denounced the admins
tration of the charities of Kings County. w. was
followed by Peter NJ Ostrander. Republican c4idate
for Congress in the Hid Congressional District
The meeting was notable for numbers rather than
for the presence of very many prominent citizens
and not few well-known politicians of the Repub-
hcan party in Kings County were absent. Among
the men on the platform in the boxes were j. s.
r. Stranahan, John +. Henry, George W. Blunt
Ripley Ropes, w. b. Palmer Gen. Philip 5. Crooke
T. G. Cronn, p w. Ostrander, and Alderman Rich
ardson. There was some delay and little con-
fusion in the arrangements Of the meeting, due to
uncertainties and dissppointments with regard TO
some speakers who were invited to take part
Speaker Blaine, Gov. Dix, and ex-GOv. Noyes
of Ohio were expected to make addresses but did
not come. Gov. Dix sent letter expressing regret
that official engagements prevented his presence.
He adds that he shall look to the result of the
efforts of the Republicans of Kings County at the
coming election with an interest far exceeding any
which he has in it personally, for it is the cause OF
reform and honest government in which they are
engaged. II am sure" he adds that our political
friends in Kings County will do their whole duty,
and with the same activity and vigilance in other
parts of the State, cannot doubt that our effort
will be crowned with triumphant victory"
