The Great Democratic Nesting IN q lew



The largest political meeting ever he'll
in New York or in this country was .h
Democratic ratification meeting on Wed
ncsday evening. 1t was the grandest sue
cess OF this or any other paign and i
an evidence of the great enthusiasm which
exists for Ihe Democracy The numbe
present IL estimated OF from so OO0 T.
90.G00-eertainiy not les4 than the torme
number were present There were si1
places where speakers held forth, three il
the largest halls IN the city. and three out
side all withina stones throw of each
other. Nothing ike it has ever before
been held in this country and as indicating
the feeling in New York. it sets at rest
che l2lng stories about dissension in the
Democratic ranks. and conclusively proves
chat New York is solid for the Cincinnati
nominees by an old time majority. The
Aepnbilcans may attempt to initiate this
mectiug--they may try to equal it-but
the attempt viii fail 1t cannot te done
There does not exist in the Republican
party enthusiasm enough to get up an
ordinary cross roads ratification, let alone
a monster demonstration such az the
Democrats held in New York. The New
York Herald says of the meeting that i,
was grand affair and ia writing up the
details, says:
The Democratic ratification meeting Last
evening at the Academy of M usic and in
the vicinity was a. great and pronounced
suceess-the greatest probably in the
annals OF Democratic ratlficatioDs in this
city. Considering the many thousands of
people Whe are away in The country the
vast gathering of orderly and apparently
well>to-do folks was quite surprise. The
peculiar. time OF the year at which the
meeting was called and The inactive atti-
tude OF the ancient Democratic organlza
tion known as Tammany Hall made many
persons anticipate failure, but the dem
onstratlon was exactly the reverse, and il |
must certainly be conceded New Z ork in |

JOHN HANNAs, being a Blacksmith by

whereby could soften iron at the forge, go that
could work it at better advantage. This induced
me to make many experiments with different sub
stances which offered the best prospect OF success

Human System.
I had a defect in three of my fingers, which were
bent or ehnt up in my hand in such manner, by

Special Telegram to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 22.-The ARM
and Navy Register states that Gen. Alfred
81. Terry, Unit2d States army, now COM
manding the department of Dakota. has
be sn Offered the position of Commander G.
the department OF West Point, and Las de-
clined it. The Pegaster says 1t is en- inter-
esting historical fact that when the military
er2demy at West Point WIS Great / a sorc~-
ate deEa rtment Gen. Grant first tcnde1S ]
the command to Gen. Alfred H. Terry, who
declined.
The RegiStcr, last week, sugge 1T j the
question as to whether Gen. Terry migni
not be ordered to West Point e. suct x 9r
of Gen. Schofeld. The spgge s.ion was
timely, for it app az that Gen. Tei1y VI.
summoned to Washington ,2st VIC ek on Il, J
very business. Both the President and e 3
reta1y of war are de3irous that Gen. Te1fy
should go to West Point whenever Gen.
Schofeld should be relieved.
On the other hand Gen. Terry doc not de-
mand for West Point, and it is by no means
bssn determined in regard to the matter.
We presume Gen. S,hofeld will be salts
fed to remain IN charge of
the academy for some time longer, and G..
headquarters of the army we believe it is
thought best that Gen. Schofeld should no.
be relieved at pre-snt. 1t is quite likely
that the upshot of the matter will be that 3
viii remain until in the coming of the next
administration.
1t is no eecret that Gen. Pope would be
willing to exchange the command of the
department of Missouri for West Point il
any change ocourrs. Gen. Schofeld will
doubtless be given the position of the officer
who goes to West Point.

Il Feeble Denial.
lCincinnati Enquirer, Aug. 20. |

lCinclnnat1 Enquirer, Aug. 20.
We print this morning what purports to be a
card from Gov. Charles Fc ter. The copy was
not in the governors handwriting. and we con-
clude that il WIS indited by his private secre-
tary and executive clerk, who were possibly as
sisted by the chairman of the Republican
State executive committee. The position was
delicate one for governor and great parry
leader to be PLACED in; it was one in which the
customs of politics would JUSTIFY him in plac-
ing white paper before 'the boys, giving them
few general points, and leaving them to pad
out with such emphasis and details as the
dreadful exigencles of the campaign might
suggest. This leaves the principals g conscience
comparatively clear. Frankly, we expected a
denial. The Governor could not we'll
afford to pass the report by silently. In
deed, we expected that the denial would
be more emphatic than it is; but Governor
Foster is candid man, for politician, and
probably cautioned "the boys" against going
too far.
In places where it is thought to be safe the
governor is made, by expert use of the Ian.
guage, to leave the impression that he made
the declarations alleged to nobody. In other
cases he is made to cay that he didn't make
certain declarations TO our correspondent.
This encourages the idea that he made them
to somebody else. In fact, nobody has
claimed that any one of the admissions were
made To our correspondent; they came through
q Republican. Again, in regard to other
statements in the interview, the governor does
| not say that he did not make them, but indi.
Gates different view nova change of front

party Every statesman has a right to change
| his mind every twenty-four hours.
