THE GREAT MEETING IN NEW
YORK.

TnE GREAT MEETING In NEW
YORK.
The lying telegraph told the people Of
the Pacific coast that the great Demo-
cratic ratification meeting in New York
was : dead failure. 1t is the mission Of
the telegraph to lie for the Republican
party. 1t has no higher aim in this
world. To show how shamelessly and
recklessly it lied about the New York
meeting. We copy from a metropolitan
journal the following relative to the inn
mems ~outpouring Of the Democratic
masses !:
Twenty-Five Thousand Democratic voters
Of the city Of New York bled last eve
ming in the Academy Of Music. Irving
Hall and Nilsson Hal. and in Fourteenth
and Fifteenth streets. and Irving Place, to
raiify the nomination of Winfield Scntt
Hancock for President, and William H.
English for Vice President. Every seat in
the Academy Of Music was occupied, and
nearly | 900 men sat on its capacions stage.
Irving and Nilsson halls were filed to their
utmost capacity. Irving Place. from Four
teenth To Fifteenth street. was densely
crowded. and in Fifteenth street. from IT.
wing Place nearly tn Third Avenue. and in
Fourteen srl Get, from Irving Place to
Tammany Hall, the throng was SO great
that prdests iAns forced their way along
with great difficulty.

decorated. Over the front Of the stage
we're liftlike portraits Of Hancock and En-
glish. surmUunted hy the national coiors.
Other portraits Of til. candidates hung on
the wall at the back Of the stage.
The Academy Of Music was filled from
parqutt 10 gallery half an hour before the
time set for the op+ifing of the meeting.
The boxes were occupied by distinguished
Democrats and well-known citizens. A re-
markable feature Of the meeting was the
large number OF ladies who lnnored it with
their presence. The orchestra chairs, par
qnet seats. n the gallery were filled by
the men who make up the rank and file OF
New York's Democracy.
Soon after 8 o'clock Samuel ]. Tilden
stepped from behind the flies on the right
OF the stage, and. escorted by john Me-
Keen and Mayor Cooper. walked toward
the speakers stand. He WAS followed by

che RUG anil shouting. aud making other
demonstrations Of satisfaction. Mr.. Til
