Tommany had an oId-time ratihca!ion
needing AZ the FourteentI-Street pu''oi"g
last night. Bands OF music, fireworks, anu
calcium lights notified the outside wof'u Oh
n. and the whole front OF the Wigwam was
covered with bunting. There were stabus
for outside speeches, while inside tue saI"
Iery was first packed, and then the, npoI;
without chair or bench set In II, was nliea
with men afoot. Among those on tue p,ac
form were Henry Dubois, OF kentucSy,
who came from the West with TIE deiga'
ton from Cincinnati; Surrogate Gavin,
Sir. ScheIl, Mr.. Kelly, and all the faces
familiar TO the hail. Ex-Alderman Giion
called the meeting TO order and lnirouuceu
MIR. ScheIl as the chairman OF the meeting.

II congratulated the party on the nomiha-
ton OF Hancock, "the brave and cbivalric
soldier whose devotion to the country mas
been shown in heroic service in three wars !;
whose courage on the battlefield was
matched by his patriotic subordinaiion OF
military power TO the civil authority when
in command; whose official orders show
,perception of the principles OF our Govern
ment and q devotion TO popular rights sell
dom eGualied. and never surpassed.
After speech 10y John Il. Haskin,
George w. Miller, OF Albany, who helped
present the TammaDy case at Cincln-

said in the course OF his speech, "there
are thousands OF Republicans who have
more heart in the welfare OF their country
than in the success Of the machine managers
OF their party. They see in Hancock man
for whom they can vote with clear con-
science, but for their DeGolyer-ladtn
candidate they have no possible sympathy

next. "lt's an era OF unanlmity," he said'

men OF character-of certain knd.
daughter The figure OF Arthur sitting
att head Of the chief legislative body oil
the country would be revelation OF dis
grace. lie is only what CoDkling flung at
The head OF the Administration as you
would fling boOijack at an improper cat.
Laughter guess the Republicans would
like 10 have the Chicago show over again
now, on the principle that they could not
do worse, but must. with any choice al an,
improve their chances ard lessen the de-
feat which they are going to get.
John Kelly was then called for and heart.
ilv cheered. Felow-citiZens and men OF
Tammany Hail." he said, "we feel that
victory is in the air. We are now IN prac-
teal manner TO forget the war and to carry
out what the noble Charles Sumner once
proposed. Hancock is a modest man, and
no man more than he would be Wiling 10
let the past bury the past. No one ever
hears him speak in the social circle OF tue
battles in which he has taken part. The
coniagion of his name in the Convention
was something remarkable. The Conyen-
ton caught it as an inspiration. Ihere
were wrongs in that C0nventiOn-wrongs
against a large body OF Democrats -
but we gave our word then and
there that with the nomination OF
Hancock we were prepared TO forget
them. and up to this rule we intend TO live
and once more restore the good old Demo
cratic party to its prestige and its place as
representing the opinions OF the majority
of the American people. Some people
have carried the feeling OF freedom TOO far
in the way Of division. Every man has a
right 10 think as he may please. but now is
orr chance 10 unite: now we have real
lasting victory before us. Once more we
will be the real representatives OF the VIII
of the American people"
EX-Judge Rcquier, Ell j. Henkle. OF
MARYLAND, and T. +. Grady were the clos
ing speakers. Meanwhile the outside meet:
Ings with whole army or speakers had
kept two throngs listening in the cool even
ing air.
A SPEECH FROM FELLOWS.
On the same night there was meeting OF
the Irving Hall (Tildenl Democracy. Colo
mel Fellows was one of the speakers.
"And for the first time in twenty years."
began Colonel Fellows, "the Democratic
party completely gained its reason. They
have not only given us good ticket; they
have given US the best. One was selected
whose nomination left no -burniDgs
behind. IL was everybody's victory when
Hancock was nominated. 1t is the end OF
the civil strife which for twenty years has
distracted this land. | can fancy with
what delight the South, long sitting in
terror, will accept this nomination OF him
whose banner with an unbrOken column she
will follow TO victory. [Cheers.] We de-
stroved the bloody SHIRT at Cincinnati. We
did more than fur it and lay it away. We
burned it and scattered its ashes to the four
winds. Garfiell regrets our course at Gin
cinnati, Arthur mourns, Parsons will not
be comforted, and DeGolyer knows we are
roine TO tread his cursed pavements under
1900, 600 feet marching TO victory; and 1t
won't take an electoral commission to de-
eide that Hancock is elected" concluded
the speaker, amid great cheers.
