The Liyeliest and Most Telling Meeting of

The telegraph failed TO report las is fire.
quently the case,) the great Irish meeting in
New York last Thursday night. The Herald
of Friday devotes a page to the meeting
from which we extract the following:
''What glorious reveille of the campaign
1t is! What grand muster of Irishmen and
Irish women! And what destruction it has
wrought to the soap bubble of the Irish vote
for Blaine!'' was the truthful comment made
by gentleman who witnessed the proceed
ings at the Academy of Music last evening.
The demonstration Of Irish citizens was
. great in every sense. From the opening
note Of the Sixty-ninth regiment band to the
closing cheers for Cleveland and Hendricks
il was a continual ovation to the Democratic
candidates and the Democratic party An
audience, which filled every nook and corner
of the great building and oYerlowed into and
filed the neighboring streets, came early and
showed no intention of going away until the
flow Of oratory and music had ceased, over
three hours later. 1t was a splendid audi
ence, one which any orator might be proud
to address-ltcen and wide awake, quick to
appreciate humor, ever on the alert to catch
and respond to a good ''point;'' particularly
responsive when Irish issues were brought
into discussion, and boiling over with enthu-
eiasm whenever the name Of Cleveland gave
it chance to display lung capacity. 1t rose
TO Mrs. Parncl, upon her arrival, in a whirl-
wind of enthusiasm which lasted for several
moments. and again took pains to empha-
size It's feelings when Mr. William j. Hines,
the cX-presidcut Of the American branch Of
the Land League, came forward TO speak for
Cleveland and genuine protection for alien
born citizens, and remarked that he had
come lest his absence might be misinter-
prcted at the present time. AS for that newly
pledged friend Of the Irishmen, James G..
Blaine, he met with sad treatment at the
hands and voices of those who could remem-
Der the favors which were not performed at
Il time when he might have been a friend in
need
The one great question OF the campaign
was emphatlcaly settled by the meeting.
The Irish vote is not for Blaine, and the
Democratic vote will be solid for the party
candidates. That is definitely settled.
The speakers of the evening were for the
most part happily chosen. Senator Jones
opened the speech making. Congressman
Patrick a. Collins, of Boston, especially
found his way deep into the hearts of the au-
dicncc. His speech was like litany almost,
for every sentence brought forth chorus of
appropriate responses from the great throng.
IN clear, plain language he checked off the
leading issues of the campaign most inter
csting TO men Of Irish blood. The climax of
ms speech was the contrast drawn between a
secretary Of state refusing TO help American
citizens cast into foreign prisons and a young
Buffalo lawyer freely defending the Irishmen
in trouble at Fort Erie with British authori-
ties. When he had completed the picture
the audience stood up one man to huzza
for the then young lawyer, Grover Cleveland,
until voices grew hoarSc and their owners sat
down from sheer exhaustion. Gen. Bourke
and Mr.. Hines spoke pthily and TO the point,
and held the people in fun numbers at an
hour when audiences are usually growing
thin.
