New YORK, Oct. 26.-An enthusiastic
mass meeting was held by the Democrats
in Union square tonight. Speakers stands
were erected in each corner of the square.
Thousands of Chinese lanterns helped the
electric lamps to make the square as light
as day, while $1,000 earnest voters made
things lively with their enthusiasm. Ex-
| Congressman Sumner of Colorado was one
OF the speakers. He said:
The icicle spectacle Ira Davenport will not
get warm votes from workingmen. He is too
cold to warm their homes. We have Demo-
crat in the presidential chair, and we intend
TO keep him there. was a black Repub-
lican during the war, and worked with all my
might to free the slaves. Now I intend
to do the same for the white people who were
shackled to the Republican party. Where
will John Sherman be twenty years hence?
Nowhere, The Republican party then will
not own him. All the members of Lincoln's
party, with one exception, have left
the Republican party and have
joined the Democratic ranks; the
| exception is Simon Cameron, who was kicked
out by Lincoln. The Republican party be-
came so bad that even Horace Greeley could
not stand them and he got out.
Resolutions were read as follows:
The Democratic party of this state has
adopted platform of principles sat
isfactory to the workingmen who love
principles more than party. 1t has been true
| to the promises made to the Anti-MonOpOly
and Labor party in the platform of 1882, and
/ has passed labor reform laws, which were
| signed by the Democratic governors, Cleve-
! land and Hill. Among these laws are the
one establishing a labor bureau Of the
| state and railroad commission act,
the Child labor bill, and life and limb
| protection law. The mechanics lien act and
the tenement house cigar bill, the law re-
| lieving railroad engineers from the unjust
$50 license fee and other measures requested
by organized labor of this state. The fulfill
ment OF its past promises inSureS US that the
Democratic party can be depended upon in the
future to carry out the pledges that were
| made to the industrial masses in its platform
| Of 1885. The Republican party of this state
has persstently opposed and voted agains
these and all other measures asked for by the
laboring organizations, and has up
held and promoted nearly every measure
presented in the legislature of the state
opposed to labor, and devised in the interests
of mOnopOlieS. The Democratic candidate
for governor has proved himself trust
worthy friend, wise, judicious and conserva-
tive in their interests, and the promoter OF
that true interest between labor and capital
that prevents disturbance and procures com
Portable living and steady profits to al
producers. We believe him to be foremost
representatives of the true principles of Ia
Dor, protection at home through home laws.
The candidates of the Republican party
headed by Ira Davenport, are either
the servants of corporate monopoly
or great landlords, millionaires nom.
mated and servants of great wealth
organized for corruption. We realize
the fact that our future and that of oul
children depends upon the triumph of the
principles we advocate, and, so believing, We
will strenuously exert ourselves to promote
the election of Gov. Hill and the state ticket
The resolutions were received with {
