The County Democracy RatIfy the
 Nomination of MT. Hewitt.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-A mass meeting was held at Cooper Union this evening un- der the auspices of the County Democracy to ratify the nomination of MT. Hewitt for mayor. The hall was packed to the doors and an overflow meeting was held outside. Mayor Gracs presided and commenced his address by saying that he was heart and soul for the election of Mr. Hewitt. He said he intended to be careful what he said, for he would read his address from print. He con- sidered MT. Hewitt one of the ablest states men in the United States. He was acquaint- ed with Henry George and had found him gentleman and believed him sincere and hon. est in the work he had undertaken. MT. Roosevelt was one of the strongest and stern est fighters for reform that he had ever met. But he was gentleman of leisure and lack ed the business qualities to fill the office for which he was candidate. He claimed that the statement of MT. Roosevelt about the corruption and excessive expenditure in the city government was untrue and concluded by saying there was less corruption and more work done by the en- ployees in the various city depart ments than for years. After the reading and adoption of long list of vice presidents and secretaries, series of resolu- tions was adopted eulogizing the Democratic candidates and denouncing MT. Georges theories as destructive. Among the vice presidents were Oswald Ottendarfer, J. T. Agnew, Franklin Edson, O. A. Dana, J. Ed ward Simmons, R. P. Flower and Wm. .Dors- oh Tn ance was loudly cheered. He delivered short address urging the necessity of defeat ing the movement headed by MT. George, which he said threatened ultimate anarchy and the extinction of free institutions. Gev- erner Abbott, of New Jersey, and to speak were detained by illness. Algernon, Sullivan and other prom inent Democrats made stirring addresses. Great enthusiasm was manifested.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The mass meeting at Chickering Hall tonight in the interest of Henry Georges candidacy for mayor was the largest and most important of the campaign. The hall was crowded. Mir. George spoke, but his voice was in very poor condition, having been overstrained by constant out door speaking during the canvass. He was attentively listened to and received great applause. He answered MT. Hewitt's recent criticisms upon his land taxation theories, and at the close of the address replied to questions by members of the audience. Ex-Senator Ecclesine also spoke, and Pat rick Ford was introduced in response to loud calls, but did not make speech.
 Secretary Manning Again at Work.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Secreta1y Man nings health continues to improve, even un- der the pressure of his official duties. He comes to the department every day and works steadily, though for somewhat shorter hours than formerly. MT. Fairchild con- tinues to act as secretary and so relieves MT. Manning from great deal of routine busi- ness, besides helping in the details of the secretary's forthcoming annual report MT. Manning, however, is at the head of the de- pertinent, directing it's policies and deciding important OueStiOnS
