About one thousand anh-Tammanv
Demo- assembled IN Irving Hall last even
Ing to rstify the Dem ooratic nominations for
President and ce-Presideht. The hall was
handsomely decorated with the national ooiors.
AT the rear Of the staeei was large portrait Of
George Washington, and over the gallery the
figure OF the Goddess Of Liberty. On the walls
were hung banners bearing the symbols OF the
States, and on the panels In the walls were
painted the heads OF the Presidents.
The meeting having been called to order by
the Hon. Emanuel b. Hart, Senator Bixby
offered resolutions ratifying the nomination OF
S,muei ]. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks.
The resolutions say that the nominations justi-

% clare that that GOV. TildsS is the emboaimsnt a Of
ofncisl honor and integrity and OF antagonism
to RIDg rule.
The resolutions having been adopted, the
Hon. Bobsrt d. Roosevelt was introd duced. The
ex-Coneressman had slwsys believed IN Gov;
Tilden because he knew that the Governor had
always beep opposed to political Rings Having
reviewed the Governors record as the destroyer

from the comparison drew the conclusion that
the safety OF the country's institutions required
a radical change In the administration OF the
Government. The Democratic party, recogniz-
ing the wants OF the people, had nominated for
the Presidency Samuel j. Tilden, the man who
was the pioneer In the cause OF political intee-
rity, and had exposed the frau ulent practices
OF corrupt men and sent them either into
exile or into Jail. No Intelligent man doubted
that the result Of the canvass will be the success
