NFw YORK, October S.-william r.
Grace, Mayor!
He should respond to their emphatic
demand that he now become his own sue
cessor."
This was sentiment of resolution
that the County Democracy voiced in be-
half of the public last night at the mon
strous mass meeting held in the Cooper
Union by the County and Assembly Dis
trict Committees.
And this sentiment it was that evoked
such applause when mammoth sized
portrait of Mayor Grace, inscribed Grace
and Victory" was placed on the platform
in full view of the many members of the
County Democracy organizations.
1t was a quarter after eight o'clock when
Chairman f. Ellery Anderson, of the
County committee, called the meeting to
order, and explained that its object was
to arrange for the election of Mayor, Con-
gressmen and ASsemblymen. He said it
was the duty of the County Democracy to
notice the dissatisfaction of the people and
strive to redress their grievances Labor
was the basis of liberty, and one reason
the County Democracy had favored a State
convention this year was to hear the
complaints of the wOrkingmen:
Referring TO the condition of local
affairs, Mr.. Anderson said that mo man
can more fully and more iitly discharge
the duties of the Chief Magistracy of this
city than the man who has been doing it
so honestly and fearlessly for the past two
years, the Honorable William X. Grace. I"
! Cheers
On motion of Joseph Newburger it was
decided that the City and County COnven-
tiOn be held at the Cooper Union on the
evening of October IA, and the Con-
grcssional and Assembly Conventions on
the evening of October 10, at such places
as the respective district committee may
designate.
INDORSING THREE ADMINISTRATIONS.
Colonel John ]. O'Byrne then offered a
series of resolutions cOngratulating the
country upon the successful adminstra-
tiOn of President Cleveland; commenting
the democratic administration of Governor
! Hill, and especially his veto of the bill TO
deprive the Mayor of the power to appoint
| Excise Commissioners his nomination of a
resident of this city to be a member of the
State Board of assessors his prompt ap-
proval of Mayor Grace's action in remov-
! ing Rollni NJ. Squire from the Office
| of Commissioner of Public Works,
| and his constant assertion of the principle
that the election of heads of city depart
mcnts should remain in the hands of the
Mayor chosen by the people to exercise
the power of appointment. The resolu-
tionS also expressed sympathy with the
laboring men of this city giving assurance
that the County Democracy wonld contin-
lie to support them in their demands for
a fuller recognition of their rights and
rcciting that of the twenty principles
enumerated at the Labor Convention held
in Cleveland this wear eleven had hnen
previously enacted into laws by the adj
miniStraton of Governors Cleveland and
Hill.
GEORGES FRIENDS.
Henry Georges headquarters in the
Colonnade Hotel were thronged with visi-
tors. Mr. George said he not been APP
preached by any one in regard to IN in
dorsemcnt from Tammany Hall or any
other hail. and the charge that he was
flirting with Tammany in regard to an en-
dOrsement was false.
The Executive Committee of the Cen
trail Labor Union opened "a committee room

trict have also indorsed Mr.. George, and
will man the polls on election day.

address to all trade and labor uniOnists,
Knights of Labor and friends of good gov
ernment in behalf of Mr.. George. The cir
