DsnocRAr1c MEETING.

The Democracy of the Fourth Ward held
ia mass meeting at Tenth and NJ streets last
night. A new stand was erected and decor
ated with National colors and bonfire
blazed in the street. The attendance was
rather slender. VIM. Minis presided. w.
j. Collier was the first speaker. He devoted
himself mainly to the examination OF the
charges against General Garfield, repeating
and explaining them, and stating his belief
that they are true and should con-
denim the candidate. He urged the
Convention. which is to meet to-day to insert
an anti-land monopoly plank in its platform.
w. B. c.. Brown was the next speaker. He
said the party is entering upon the campaign
under the most suspicious circumstances, and
he believed Democratic victory assured.
He had consulted leading Republicans here
and found them weakened and not con-
fident at all Of casting their usual vote in the
State. Garfield had voted against the Chi
nese restriction bill, against the
vote of Booth, Page and Sargent and
hence against the interests of the peo-
pie of this coast. Whatever he may say
now amounts TO nothing; words, mere words.
He saw a reporter of the RECORD UNION
present, and wanted to give a few figures
in which. the RECORD UNION had recently
dealt relative to the Endorsement of
General Garfield by his own people. In

the dividend in his pocket. and then he said
he hadn't agreed 20 take the stock. and that

people. and those Republicans voted against
