N introducing s. 6. Cox, who followed
MI. Randall, Judge Tappan said: Il men,
AioE his name merely because it is barely
possible that there is somebody here from a
toreiga land; no New Yorker needs any in
PRODUCTION to him" And, to tell the tFath,
Mr. Cox didn't look or act as if ne vas talk

to-day. Twenty elght years ago my friend,

led Mr.. Cox to say: 1t looks as IL some

Cox then referred to the Democratic
platform as adopted at Chicago. VI be-

we had better let all money not necessary

not be so apt to steel It from themselves SIS
the politicians will be apt to steal it from
them. We are collecting one hundred mil

care how you cut this lax down and Mr..
Cox bowed politely ia the direction OF Mr.
Randall. but trust we will so modify our
taxation system, whether by reduction of
tariff or internal revenue, that We shall

turned his attention to Mr. Biaine's
ton to President-elect Cleveland, Mr.. Cox
said: "GoYernor Cleveland was no fayorits
of this organization at the start; bat he was

elected him. Tremendous applause / be-
Heve that Grover Cleveland will bring to
his administration the courage of Cesar,
the wisdom of a Cato, and the principles
of the true old Jeffersonian Democracy"
[Cheers.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Cox's speech and
after vote OF thanks to Speaker Randall
and to Mr.. Cox had been passed, there were
loud calls for Mr.. Kelly. The Chairman ex-
planned that Mr.. Kelly would speak later
on, and then introduced Mr.. Hugh L. Cole,
who spoke briefly, bat succeeded neverthe-
less in showing BY figures that TammanY
Hall was thoroughly loyal to the Democratic
candidate Tor the Presidency. Mr.. Cole was
followed by General Coehrane, whose speech
from beginning to end aroused enthusiasm.
JOHN KELLY ANSWERS THE CALL.
At the conclusion of General Cochran's
speech the cries for "Kelly-John Kelly"
were uProarious and Enthusiastically earnest
Mr.. Kelly kept his seat for moment or two,
bat finally took the platform amid perfect
Juror Of applause. "You have listened"
said he, ito several distinguished speakers
and the hour is late, but think 1 ought to
gay few words, and what / have TO say /
the demand OF the people OF this city that
there should be good and proper men NOM
mated for city and county offices. One OF the
cries of the Independent Republicans
during the late campaign was that
they were not satisfied with the party
in power. No better evidence OF the desire
of the people for good men in Office could
have been shown than was shown in the
nomination of Judges Rapallo and Andrews.
But why did not this desire for good govern
ment go further? will tell you why. 1t
was because there has been and is to-day
feeling among ignorant and prejudiced
people Of this city that, paramount to all
duties, IS the duty to beat Tammany Hall.
This organization, which is nearly q century
old, which has ever been on the side of good
government and at all times Loyalty Demo
cratic, is the victim Of blind prejudice
and jealous spite. During the recent
election committees composed of men who
had never in their lives voted the Demo.
cratic ticket were appointed to inspect the
boxes from which Tammany tickets were
put forth. We put up with this insult, al
though We knew that treachery abounded in
the other camp, and that it would be our
votes, if any, which would elect Grover
Cleveland. The honorable Mr.. Randall has
told you that men die and are forgotten.
This is true; men are born. live perchance TO
ripe old age, but finally pass away. Prin-
eIples live, however, thank Cod and when
We are all dead the principles of Tammany
Hall Will animate our SUCCESSORS. / am
s)Iry, hesTtfelt sorry, that We have failed
