Monday night was lively one In Brook
Ign. Here and there through the city
one came upon torohlisht PROFESSIONS
while over on Clermont avenue people
swarmed through the streets and over
the sidewalks like bses while waiting for
the opening Democratic meeting OF the
campaign to be started. The attraction
would have drawn large crowd under
ordinary circumstances, but the publicA-
tion yesterday morning OF so many more
Of those terrible MulligaD letters had
naturally stirred up the people as they
had probably never been stirred before by
any campaign matter. They talked OF
these bisokening revelations on the
streets, in their shops and everywhere,
and many Of them turned out to the
meeting to hear what the speakers would
say about the record OF Blaine now that
II had received still another coat Of black
--blaoker than any OF the under coats.
Senator BAyaTd was the prominent
orator Of the evening aud the meeting
which he was invited to address was
called to assemble In the Brink" on
Clsrmont avenue, in eastern Brooklyn,
three blocks TO the eastward Of Washing
ton Park. The Rink ia really Baptist
church OF singular exterior and cHpRoious
interior, over which the Rev. Justin
Fulton prssides. The interior lie not only
vast, but almost barn like in Its plainness.
1t was decorated for the occasion with
1sgs and streamers, aud large and
handsome banner bearing portraits Of
Cleveland and Hendricks, occupied the
space behind the pulpit.
Long before the speakers arrived, how
ever, the rink had been filed and had
ovsrilowed, until the entrance, steps and
sidewalk were jAmmed with people who
could not get in. In this emergency
carpenters were set to work at once TO
erect platform in the street, from which
other speakers should address the thou.
sands who could not obtain admission to
the building. This work was done very
| quickly and by the appointed hour the
inside aud outside meetings were In tip
top running order. The crowd was q
good natured and we'll behaved one al d
the squad of policeman on duty had little
difficulty in keeping excellent order.
For an hour or more before the meeting
the vicinity was illuminated with red
fire and pyroteohnical displays; q mortar
being kept steadily at work firing of large
sky rockets which after ascending to q
great hight burst in profuse aud brilliant
showers OF stars And fiery rain. Finally
there came tremendous defamation and
it was surmised that the mortar had ex.
exploded; be that SIS It may the rockets
ceased to ascend.
Senator Bayard was escorted from the
city hall to the Rink by the Anderson
Legion, In uniform. He was In full dress
and could never have appeared to better
advantage. He was accompanied by Con-
gresham Riohslieu Robinson and Mrs.
Della Parnell, the mother Of the famous
Irish patriot. Among those who occu pied
seats on the stAge were Controller Brink.
