"WORDS, WORDS, WORDS"
Schell and Morrissey Stumping
the Uproarious Seventh.
sVOx P0PULp In THREE LANG UAGES.

IN the seventh Senatorial district was strongly empha-
sized last evening In the holding by both SIDES OF
iarge number OF meetings, accompanied in most In
Stances by much perervid oratory and tumultous ap-
piause. Tammany put her right loot foremost in the
eighteenth Assembly district where . ratlncat, on
meeting was held, with all the attra ctve adluncts of
music, fireworks Chinese lanterns, transparences an
open air stand and whole platoon of stalwart police
men. Here John Kelly, standing proud and defiant
0n the sol ol his own bawick, attended ia company
Sh Augustus Schell, the bright, particular star Of
the occasion, Henry L. Clinton half dozen Tam
many hghts On the west side OF town Morrisseyis
supporters held equally large ratification meeting
with much less adventurous display, and Mr. Nor
sissey attended IN person. The number OF smaller
meetings exceeded hfty, and of held by
coiored people TO indorse John Morrissey. The
paign took vigorous leap forward last night, and
anchored thousand wavering minds side or
the other The tenement house population crowded
Aorrissey's meetings. The attendance at Schell's
betrayed ofceholdng element In the profusion of
shiny hats drawn over very unimpressive brows But
shere was honest Drawn and muscle at the meetings
oi the two sides, and If Morrissey created greater
1~'ore when he stood up before his admirers. Schel
never failed to win cordial and hearing
his audience.
GOSSIP OF THE POLITICIANS.
The talk in the hotels, barrooms ana on the street
corners was far moro interesting as gauge TO public
sentiment In regard to the two candidates than any
Speeches delivered through the evening. AT and
around both headquarters 1t was common to find
groups OF twos and threes having discussion all to
themselves on the absorbing topic of the hour The
working mon were particularly excited They seemed
10 think representative OF themselves had for
tunes at stake ana they ieit accordingly. Rich
merchants of tho republican said several
instances they should not vote at all as neither
didate suited their taste The most Interesting views
Of the canvass were to be cleaned from old politicians
But OF practice, who stood aud viewed the
ronnict from alar. These may be found generally
hanging around second class hotels and billiard
rooms. There was yesterday leaning against the
billiard table OF saloon in the Twentieth ward, and
though his face ptted, and his red, and his
red moustache dyed black. he not altogether an
unprepossessing specimen Of The New York ''dees-
trick" politician who has everything to say in his
ward and speaks on all occasions cathedra.
"Ef you desire partker to know what think Of
the campaign. should say IL a dead opon and
shet fur Scholl. Now. as fur me- my feelin's es
politician and q is with Morrissey. Norris
Bey himself amt q politician, as l take It
He thinks he knows - an all; but he don't
know enough to cool his coffee. Kelly knows
more In day than Morrissey ever learned, and IT'S
Kelly lwant to see licked ! reckon know little OF
here iellers in Tammany-that old bag o. wind, Cn-
ton, an Spinoa and Boyd and tho rest o. them-is
Jest a turnin Key's head. bern me IL over was at
D meeting Tor tho past couple o. years that one o.
these suckers, II Kelly happened to there, didn't
stand up aud slather him with soft soap ten inches
thick. They're dom that all the time, and tell you
human natur' can't stand It. Kelly has come to
think the city and county Of New York
can't do without him. 1T he beats Morrlssey
he won't know whether he's a standn' on his
heels or his head. He'll tumble all over himself
and all the suckers will get sinecures and all the old
frauds who are now DRAWN the income OF brewery
out OF the City Treasury will be Kept there anu lest
ns bad time had when Tweed was king
PIN will como around. Now I'D like to Morrlssey
beat Kelly, because would show Kelly that he's not
as big he thinks. 1t would take the starch out Of
man that has too much OF It, and tell you IL it aims
done that Tammany machine will get q grip on this
city again that itll take good many years shake
oh fhs Is about all that reflective politician had
say, but ne was satisfied he made his point
