The call for the mass meeting 10 100 nri.,
IN the Cooper Institute noxt week ia adj
dressed to "the Republicans and all others
Of the city Of New York who approve o. the
Administration OF President HAYES The
great purpose OF this meeting is, Of course,
to ratify Mr.. HAYEs's title 10 the Office
Of President. IAN others" who may be
supposed to be appealed to, 10 come forward
and help in this endorsement, will notice
that the call attributes to Mr.. HAYES n full
right to be regarded as the Prcsi dcnt lie
Is distinctly styled president HAYES
Moreover, the chief spokesman at the meet
Ing is to be Mr.. GEORGE ". CURTIS, who in
the Rochester Convention introduced a
proposition declaring that 1.-THE lawful title
Of RUrHERFoRD b. HAYES 10 the Presiden-
ry Is MS clear and perfect as that Of GEORGE
NAsHINGToN;' which was rejected by that
Convention by n vote Of 29j nays to 1903 yeas.
One great object of this proposed meeting
Is to affirm, as the sense of New York city
Republicans and "all others, that Mr.. Cur

lean Convention were in the wrong Who

HAYES title. Whether direct resolution

cecdlngs OF tho meeting, the fact remains
That one OF the prominent features Of the
affair is TO be rcbuke Of the Rochester Con-

with which the city Of New York abounds.
There will he very few who will be likely to
extend their sympathy and cooperation TO
men who profess to believe that Mr.. HAYES
holds the Office by legal title as clear and
perfect as that OF WAsHISGToS. The prop
Dsition is an insult to the common sense Of
mankind. At each of his two elections
NAsIlNGroS received every electoral vote
IN the Union, and there were no disputed
votes, produced by manipulating the re-
turns Of the popular suNraxcs. HAYES
never received even bare majority Of tho
Electoral votes, excepting 10y fraudulent
tampcring with the votes OF Florida and
Louisiana, and by the refusal Of the Lice
toral Commission to allow the real choice Of
those states to prevail.
Again, this call is addressed to those
who feel that the action OF the recent Re-
publican state Convention has placed the
