First Gun of the campaign.
New York, May 24.-Tammany Hall
was crowded last night OIL the occasion OF
the meeting, which the advertisements
said was the first gun for the Presidential
canvass. Tilden's name evoked long and
continued cheers whenever il was men
toned. Congressmen Blackburn and Hurd
were the principal speakers. Morrison
sent Q letter, which recited lis well-Enown
views. Speaker Carlisle in q letter, said
ssSince the close OF the war more than
four-6fshs Of the internal revenue taxes
lave been abolished, while the tariff re-
mains substantially unchanged. Indeed,
on many articles Of necessity in common
use among the people, the rates OF duty
are higher now than during the war, while
on nearly all Of them the duties are much
higher in proportion to the market value
of articles than they were then. The
taxes upon the vices and Injuries OF the
people have been greatly reduced or entire
" abolished, while the taxes unon the
necessaries Of life, and tools and imple-
ments Of labor, have been retained, and in
some instances increased. Under this
policy, has been o~bstructed, the
cost of production increased, and the earn
ings Of labor confscsted. Stability in the
laws affecting the industrial interests OF the
people 10 absolutely essential to a continu-
Gus and rapid development Of our re-
sources, but stability can be secured only
by doing as nearly as possible exact justice
to all whose interests are affected by such
legislation.
Row in the House.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-In the House,
the first bill called up was the Senate bill
granting permission to L. K. Reynolds.
Of the United States Navy. to accept the
decoration of the Royal and Imperial
Order Of Francis Joseph from the Govern
ment Of Austria, for gallsntry in saving
the lives OF ii Austrian sailors.
Robinson of New York opposed the bill,
saying that the dudes in the navy were
continually asking permission to accept
decorations.
Coz of New York said that Reynolds
had saved their lives at the imminent peril
Of his own, and for it he had been insulted
here to-day by this man Robinson.
Kasson said the gentleman from New
York, Robinson, was persistent in dishon-
oring his own countrymen, by denying
them the praise accorded them.
Robinson, e~xcitedly, said: II want the
words taken down that i am q dishonora-
Bile man. Who violates the Constitution,
dishonors himself. / stand by the Consti-
tuition. Let him withdraw"
Kasson-I withdraw nothing. i say the
man who stigmatizes with the word
dude" . gallant officer, does dishonor to
navy officers.
