the same time put forward Blaine as
friend of the workingmen.
0'Donovan Rossa's black eyes were
fixed upon the speakers and he eagerly
listened to every word that was spoken.
When asked what he thought of the
gathering, he said: "It's very fine
meeting, and is thoroughly representa-
tive of the Irish people. 1t represents
the very best Irish people in this coun-
try
he'll get another attack of sunstroke,"
said Col. Fellows.
"When you try TO fool the Irish YOU
generally get left, and that's just what
Is going to happen TO Blaine," said JUS
tice Kelly, as the ringing speech of the
Florida Senator drew forth cheer after
cheer. "rhis meeting is just begin
ner."
"This is glorious demonstration"
said John Parnell, the Irish leaders,
brother. "I'm glad to see such splen-
did rally of the Irish race to the old party
that has always befriended and fought
for 1t in this country. You know we are
all Democrats in Alabama, and this
meeting has warmed my heart"

goodly number of its members, and

eX-Surrogate Calvin, eX-Register Au-
| gustus a. Docharty, Col. William r.

Sheriff Davidson, Excise Commissioner
Haughton and Senator Daily.
The boxes were crowded and tho mem |
bers of the State and National commit |
tees found the stage Il much more desir-
able place, as the crowding was not so
great there. The Tammany people |
evinced great interest in the pro. |
coedings, and Edward Kearney, said |
to u friend: "rhis is credit |
to tho lrishAmerican citizens in |
its size, intelligence and enthusiasm. |
am glad to see so many Tammany men |
here. 1t convinces me that Tammany
can mover prove rocreant to her Demo-
cratic fealty. This Is great demon |
stration, and il gladdens the hearts of |
all true Tanmany Democrats"
When asked what he thought of the |
m citing Congressman Cox answered. |
"Perhaps | might repeat the words of n |
gentleman who just told mo, ITS Il rip |
roaring success So il il. A meeting |
without the Celtic element don't amount |
to much. It's all Irish tonight, and il |
Is, indeed, a 'rip-roarer,' II takes the |
Irish to make great meeting. This |
meeting shows how things are going, |
and that Tammany will support the
Democratic National ticket. IN fact, |
ielt 1t was this way all the WHILE"
III is certainly one of the grandost
demonstrations the Irish citizens have
ever made in behalf of the party of re-
ligious and political liberty" said ex-
Register Docharty, who is the scribe of
Tammany society"
., 81 am a carpenter and member of
Tammnny,' was the statement of we'll |
known member of that organization, !
land we of the wigwam have como here |
because we are Democrats and don't |
want To be misreprosented. No walking |
delegate can sell me out to Ben Butler |
or anybody else. Cleveland will find I'm |
Tammany Hall an honest support, espe- |
cially among the working peoples repre- |
sentatives."
THE OUTSIDE GATHERING.
Oi course there were far moro people |
present than the Academy could nos. |
sibly accommodate. The rush of yoters |
which came to Fourteenth street aioot |
and by the street and al" road ears soon |
filled every seat In the great hall, then |
crammed the aisles with patient, stand |
ing listeners. When the Hobbies. TOO. |
had been jammod, the police shut the |
doors and refused To admit any but in |
vited guests. Still the tide Of people |
camo pouring on from every direction, |
irving place was crowded In few mo- |
ments. Thou Fourteenth street had its |
share of those who would but could not |
|
tho old opera building. rhe sidewalks /
and tho street were alike packed \
with those who had come to indorse the ,
reform candidates, The cars made nj |
intervals channels through the crowd, |
but these burrows were soon filled up bv |
tho surging, good natured multitude. |
Even the rafting fireworks of rockets |
and bombs had but little space from |
winch TO operate, and II was. only 10y |
mud persuasion on the part of the police |
that space was cleared for the mortnrs
and rocket stands. There was no nro'
vision for outside speaking. Had there |
been platform and corps of speakers |
provided,an audience of 10000 attentive |
listeners might have been had |
IN the cool air of the crowded |
streets and avenues without.
while tho other throng remained swell. !
tering in the Interior of the Academy. |
mere was no lack of speakers as Il was,
and many little groups wcro formed
about some outspoken Cleveland man
as he set forth the claims of his iavorite
and took as his text amy one o. a dozen
tracts which were distributed through
the throng, setting forth the many weak
points in the career OF the tattooed man
nom Maine. The crowd was an orderly
one. With the fzz of tho las, rocket the
intermingling suh-stratum of street
Eauln disappeared, and then the major
ivy OF the police were dismissed. MANY
people waited In hope Of getting inside
nnd catching some of the speaking
there; but those inside did not seem I'M,
clined to give up the privilege they had
earned by punctuality; and there WAS
little rushing In and out on the part of
tho crowd. New York Herald.
