the, speakers of the evening were for
Tor most part happily chosen: Senator

: specially found his way deep into the
hearts Of the audience. His speech was
like a litany almost, for every sentence
brought forth Il chorus of appropriate re-
sponses from the great throng. In clear,
plain language he checked of the lead
ing issues of the campaign most inter-
esting to men of Irish blood. Tit eli
max of his speech was the contrast
drawn between a Secretary of state re-
uSlIS W httB "a 't1b

LAWYER freely defending the Irishmen in
trouble ut Fort Erie with British authori-
ties. When he had completed the pic

OPENING III MEETING.
4 medley of Irish airs, doubly en-
cored, accompanied the assembling of
the audience. Men who were not in re-
served seats ut s o'clock lost them, for
the house was then thrown open in
every part. Commissioners Coleman
called the meeting to order and nomi-
mated Mr.. Eugene Kelly chairman, who
was elected by acclamation, and made a
short speech. Colonel O'Byrne then read
the list of vice-presidents and secreta-
ries, and the audience were heard from
at the sound of each favorite name,
which was followed by cheers and often
by an amusing catch word from some
witty Irishmap in the house. When
Col. O'Byrne had finished his list by
saying, sand $50 more Macs and O's."

THE RESOLUTIONS.
The reading of the resolutions was no
formal proceeding. Three times the au-
dience broke loose at the mention of
Cleveland'sn name and official record,
and once, when Blaine's name was
spoken. there was chorus of ~disapprov-
al which ought to rave been heard as
far away as Maine. The resolutions were
IS follows:
Resolved. that the National Democrat
ic party has always maintained the dig
nifty of citizenship, irrespective Ofcreed,
race or place of birth, ard has never
failed while in power to in sist upon a
due recognition of that dignity and the
rights and liberties of American citi-
zens at home Inc abroad.
Resolved, That the official record
which o Cleveland has made is
ample guarantee that as President of the
United States he will not fail in his duty
to support the principles enunciated in
h platform Of the National Democratic
convention and in the protection of the
rights of all citizens.
Resolved, That the opposition to the
Democratic party, under whatever guise
or name it has been known in the past,
from the days of the Federalists down
to the days of modern Republicanism.
has been opposed to the extension of
mOQern clClZennOOu, lnulIlereHI 10 tue
rights or wrongs of adopted citizens,
proscriptive in its policy, narrow and
and illiberal in it's views, and, notori-
Ously, since the expiration OF its original
missiOn-the abolition of slavery-in-
sincere in it's claims and pretentions. 1t
has claimed. to the prejudice of the
honor of the American people, hat it, as
party, suppressed The rebellion; it has
claimed, to the detriment and insult of
Democratic soldiers, that it organized,
made ana led our armies, and it has
failed to uphold the rights of injured
citizens abroad, thereby bringing TIE
name Of the United States into dis
credit.
Resolved, That James G.. Blaine, dur
ing twenty years of official life, never
interested himself in the welfare of
American citizens, who, while abroad,
were deprived of their liberties and
rights without authority of law, and,
while Secretary Of State, not only failed,
but refused to Interfere and exert the in
fiuence Of the United States government
in behalf of such citizens.
Resolved, That believing in the ex-
tension and protection OF ci~tiZenhood
and in the principles set forth in these
resolutions, and holding them to be of
high importance to the American people,
we earnestly recommend to our fellow
citizens the support, as fitting represent
tatives Of tnat party which has always
