The New York Republicans.


R0UsINd RATIFICATION MEETING, LAST NIGHT
ROSCOE ooSKLINd SPEAKS.
The New York Republicans held a rousing
ratification meeting in Cooper Institute, New
York City, last night. Salem II. Wales presid-
ed. The resolutions were received with great
unanimity, and one in relation to the public
schools was vocferously applauded.
The principal address was made by Hon. Ros-
coe Conkling, who was {received with deafening
cheers. In his speech he alluded to the claim
recently set up by the Democrats that to Gov.
Tden was due the credit of having reduced the
State debt and showed the utter fallacy of this
absurd claim. The audience laughed heartily at
the effort of Gov. Tilden's followers to claim
credit for acts done by Gov. Dix and Republi-
can Legislature. The Senator also showed that
to Governor Dix and Republican repre-
sentatives in tho Legislature was due
the first step toward canal reform, as the Legis-
lature has adopted an amendment to the Consti-
tuition which has embedded canal reform in the
fundamental law. The speaker showed that the
Democratic Party was not deserving OF public
confidence that canal contracts of fraudulent
character originated i'll Democratic Canal Boards,
and were connved at by Democratic Legislators
under the control of Hoffman and Tweed. The
Senator pointed out certain acts of Gov. Tilden
to show that he was net entitled to the charac-
ter OF great reformer when his friends claimed
for him. Abiding eto Gov. Dix, whose name
was received with great applause, he said
Well,gentlcman, don't wonder that some ap-
plaud the name of Gov. Dix. applause be-
cause it will be my fault, and not yours, If do
not show you that others are now wearing
plumes and enjoying honors which.belong not to
them, but to John A. Dix. Applause.
In conclusion, Mr.. Conkling demolished John
Kelly's claims to respectabitv, and referred
pointedly to the effort to rGmoye Recorder
Hackett from the bench.

The civil uits Against the N. Y. Ring

1t was rumored in New York yesterday that ar
rangements were making for the settlement OF
the civil suits against William M. Tweed, with
out further prosecution in the courts Neither
Tweed's counsel, nor Mr.. Peckham OF
counsel for the city, admit any know
ledge, in regard to such plan.
Several persons who are implicated in the Ring
frauds have been negotiating for settlement
in a similar manner, but nothing definite has yet
been done, perhaps because they have not been
successful in raising the requisite amount of
money They are generally liable for sums ran
ging from S2O,000 to 100000.
