New YORK, October 13.-Everything was
favorable for the big demonstration for Cleve-
land and Thurman of the down town business

the sub-tref,sury on Wall street, and the subse-
quent procession up town were fully equal to
the hopes of the managers. Tho meeting on
the sub-treasury steps was presided over by

When Secretary Fairchlld arose he was well
coined with roar of applause. When the

persons independent of the business mems

were suspended on two large pillars of the
building facing the people.

resolutions were offered and adopted by the
meeting. They express the unqualified APP
prevail Of President Cleyelands administration
and his tariff message. They warn the people
against the pretense that President
Cleveland has inaugurated a campaign OF tree
ton of the surplus judiciously. They denounce
as malicious and absurd the pretenses that the
Mills bill is injurious to the welfare of the
workingmen OF America. They denounce the
clause in the republican platform for free
whisky and the policy of the republican party
in the matter of commerce. They indorse the
policy of the present administration as based
