GOVERNOR WALLER TALKS

To a Democratic Audience in Chicker- ing HaII-Other Speakers Tell the ! Faithful ofTheir Duty In the Cam paign.
 NEW YORK, July 3O.-Chickering Hall was | crowded to its utmost capacity this evening" I the occasion being the Cleveland and Hen I dricks ratification meeting held under the \ auspices of the County Democracy The en- tire rear wall of the stage was occupied by an allegorical painting with portraits of Cleveland and Hendricks. On either side were paintings representing the Goddess of Liberty and commerce and agriculture. Seafed on the platform were many we'll \ known Democrats of this city and vicinity. The Hon. Frank D. Coudert presided and in a brief speech said that he felt certain that \ they would elect the ticket that they had as sembled to notify. The names of Cleveland and Hendricks were received with great ap- plause and cheering. The Republican party he claimed had been fully repaid for it's twen- ty-four years of service with power and wealth Governor Waller of Connecticut was received with loud applause he saying that yesterday he had the pleasure of meeting and greeting at Albany the Democratic candidate for the presidency and after notifying him of the nomination, served
 him with a notice that informed him that he
 would probably have to move in April next (applause) and if there was anyone in Albany
 that was not in favor of Cleveland we did
 not see him. The speaker in alluding to the
 national Democratic convention said the plat
 form was consistent with the party that is
 sued it. It recognizes the special claim that
 the people must be given every opportunity
 to make an honest living and to enable them
 to give their children chance of obtaining a better education than they had themselves. It also declares that it is the true policy of the government to take no more taxes out of l the pockets of the people than are absolutely necessary to pay the expenses of running the government The Republicans, he said, have to-day DO hope of winning the contest with their own votes and the remnant ct the party that is left them is not big enough for Q guard. They ex- pect to win by a division of the Democratic party in this city and State 1 But it is well known fact that person who attempts to upset the affairs of family gen orally gets worsted. The speaker then went on to say that the claim that the Republican party is the friend of the workingman is false Look at the States of Vermont, Mas sachusetss and Rhode Island where it has had power and control for years, where no man can vote unless he owns the price of mule (cheers). All over the country, continued the speaker, men are anxious for a change of government because they believe that a change once in twenty five years in a republican government is good thing It enables the new conner to look at the books (applause). The victory of the coming cleo tion depends upon New York and if she fails corruption will then thrive for four years longer.
 Quite lively scene occurred here by some one in the audience calling out 'EThree cheers for Blaine!" Fifty men were at once on their feet and the advocate of Blaine, after being roughly handled, was elected from the build ing.
 General Charles E. Hooker, of Mississippi, took the floor, and in brief speech said that the people of the South would stand by the Democracy in it's support of the great princi- ples of constitutional laws, of right and justice, and they would sup port the Democratic candidates because they were Democrats notwithstanding their poverty General Rockers remarks were listened to with marked attention and on re- tiring he was loudly applanded
 Colonel John R. Fellows in speech in which he predicted the election of Cleveland and Hendricks was loudly applauded The chairman of the meeting announced that in September the County Democracy will give a grand parade and mass meeting. Resolu- tions were read and adopted and the meeting adjourned
