ARRIVAL OF SENATOR CONKIING.
After the singing the assembly became quiet for
moment. as if in the expectation of Senator COnk-
lipc,s coming There was a break in the crowd on
the side of the stage and General Lloyd AsDinwall
came forward, followed by Hamilton Fish
and Senator CoDkling. The man upon whom
all eyes now turned and whom
every voice was greeting, must, indeed, have been
unfeeling to witness the scene unmoved, There was
one loud huzzl of greeting that rose and fell IN
great waves of sound The occupants of boxes and
gallery were on their feet waving their handker-
chiefs and shouting wildly
Some one was heard to mention Senator COnk
lings name and three stirring cheers were given
Then bv another sudden change of impulse another
channel OF expression was found, and for a moment
nothing could be heard except the stamping
of feet. Senator ConklIng had stood looking over
the vast assembly WITHOUT tne movement VI
limb or muscle. until the cheering that followed
the mention OF his name Then be bowed cere-
mouiously in acknowledgment, "a he did several
times aferwdrl.
RENEWED TXCITFMENT
Scarcely Rad the excitement been allowed to
subsde when IT again broke forth in almost an
equal degree when General AsPInwall announced
that he had TO read letter from General Ulys-
SEES : Grant. Such was the temper OF the audi
ence that General Aspinwall had got no further In
reading than Ny dear Arthur" when there was
another and apparently irresistible burst OF APP
plause Then there was quiet until that part of the
letter was reached in which General Grant said that
be would return from the East only the ID OF
November to cast a vote for Garfield and Arthur.
Here there were more and greater cheers which
were renewed at the conclusion Of the letter.

ADDRESS OF Mr.. FISH.
The announcement by Mr. Aspinwall that Hamil-
ton Fish was TO preside was heartily received. and
Mr. Fish was greeted by cheers when he began to
speak.
There was, however, at this time an unfortunate
interruption caused by effort on the part
of persons the Hobbies TO get within
hearing distance. To make the difficulty still
GREATER Mr. Fish spoke in a low tone of voice. The
. consequence was that few persons more than rod
from the stage were able to hear anything OF his
speech. Whenever the name of General Garfield
was caught, however, it was applauded heartily.
Mr. Fish spoke as follows:
Ny Friends: l desire to return to you nv most
sincere thanks for the cordial acceptatlon winch

the honor of presiding over this meet
ing This vast assembage of the wealth
the intelligence the commercial enterprise thu
mercantile and manufacturing industries, and all
the interests OF tins great community is test OF the
importance of the impending contest, and may be
taken | trust, as an assurance OF coming victory.

which our country passed and no Republican can
help feeling regret that General Han,

over that name. and should once more PIT those who
wore the gray against those who wore the blue. "
