THE ANTI-CONKLING MOVEMENT.
New York, Oct. 10 The HAYES injorse-
ment meeting at Cooper Institute, tonight,
was attended BY an immense crowd, includ-
ing many leading citizens. Prominent gen.
tlemen occupied the platform. George
VIM. CARTS was greeted with enthusiastic
applause Prof. Theo. W. Dwight. of the
Columbia law school, was chosen chairman,
who said the object of the meeting
was to show sympathy with the admins
tration in its measures of pacifcation
and publication. He dwelt on the growing
prosperity observable on every hand and in
every kind of trade, and declared the time
for the meeting was indeed an suspicious
one. They were not here to indulge in crit
icisms upon the conduct or views of any re-
publican. They were here for two purposes
only,-to endorse the national admlnistra-
ton and also the state ticket. They must
recognize the fact there were honest differ
ences in the party as to the propriety OF
certain measures of the administra-
ton. These differences must be re-
spected and men were not to be
ostracised on account OF them. lie himself
had some doubts at first as to the expediency
of some acts of the President, but how as
now converted, believing that the men Of
the southern states intended to accept and
had accepted the results of the Presidents
policy in spirit in which he had admin
istered The reponse the south had ap-
parently made to the action of the Presi-
dent was source of the highest gratlica-
ton. Ii was rare craftsmanship which
won so solid q popularity In 80 short time
II he continued in the same spirit through
out the term. steadfast in the course in the
direction in which he has set his face, it
needed no gift Of prophesy to discern that
his name would be associated in the future
with that of Washington and Lincoln. The
republican party could not without stultify
ing itself fail to second the President in
his effort for improved civil service. They
had promised it to the people and woe would
attend the national party that did not full
I'll its solems promise.
Prof. Dwight then commended the ticket
nominated at Rochester as fully worthy OF
the sutfrsges of the party.
The chairman read long list Of vice
presidents and secretaries, among them be-
ing W. C. Bryant. Noah Davis, VIM. E.

GOV. HENDRICKS ON THE ADMINISTRATION.
Governor Hendricks, in an interview last
night. speaking of the administration OF
President Hayes. said it was difficult for him
TO imagine where that gentleman would
eventually land his party. He thought,
however. that those who seemed to suppose
that the administration would capture the
Democratic PARTY would find themselves
mistaken. Ii was his opinion. however,
that the Democratic party would do by
Hayes as they did by Andrew johnson, sus-
tain him so far as they thought he was
right.
