MEETING.

ADDRESS AT TAMMANY HALL TEMPERANCE
MEETING.
Tammany Hall was filed in every part at
the meeting Of the American Temperance Union yester-
day afternoon. william Cullen Bryant and Postmaster
James were among those the'platform. When Mr..
Bryant was introduced the applause was so hearty
and prolonged that 1t considerable time before
he could begin Although he stood perfectly erect ana
apparently vigorous, his voice not strong, and
it was with difficulty that he could be heard In the BACK
of the hail. He said that his mind, for several days
death had recently reported in the newspapers In
early life, with education business capacities, and good
opportunities he had made place Tor himseii among
business men, and his prospects very bright Mod
crate drinking led him the drunkards fate, and last
week he ended his life by suicide.
"Now, my friends" Mr.. Bryant continued, There
