Ratification Meeting in New 20

All ANCh Va N'
A great mass meeting was held in New
York last night under the auspices of the
county democracy, TO ratify the democratic
national ticket. Speeches were made by
Speaker Carlisle, Gov. Hill, District Attor-
ney Fellows, and Others. A letter was read
from Mayor Hewitt, in which he says
What might ne terme cd the personal eqaa-
ton Of the candidates has been eliminated
from the contest, inesnuch as either of the
gentlemen who are put in nomination for
President will I'll the office with credit and
success. Both ar les had promised to re-
duce revenue by revision of the tariff, but
democrats had not done go because repuhlj-
csus had successfully tried to thwart their
Efforts to do go. TIE democracy had re-
rewed its pledge this year, bat the repubii
cans having resisted all efforts to reduce
revenue by reducing taxes have been forced
by the logic of the situation TO declare in f..
vor of reducing the revenue by increasing
the taxes. 1t is perfe:tly feasible to reduce
the revenue BY raising the duties on import
ed merchandise; but it is not possible to ia
crease the duties without increasing the cost
of the article to the consumer. 10 the COM
ing election the issue is not between free
trade and protection, but the burning ques-
ticn is, Shall the revenue be reduced by the
reduction of the tariff taxes, or shall it be
reduced by an increase of these taxes :?
Both plans Gre f,asible, but both cannot be
right"
The announcement of Mayor -Hewitt's
name was received with mingled cheers and
Kisses, both containing for some time.
When the secretary was at last enabled to
read the letter, the mayors declaration that
bis duties would not permit bin to take
part in politics was received with laugh.
ter. Later, the mayors declarations in
regard to the tariff were greeted with ep.
plsuse.

Mr.. SPEAKER CARLISLE, in his speech a.
the democratic ratification meeting in New
York Lac. night, said
THE democratic party believes that the
Interest Of all our manufacturing and other
industries would be advanced, that the
wages Of all our abcrers would be increased,
and the general welfare of the whole coun
try would be greatly promoted by repeating,
as far IS possible, the taxes upon raw ms-
terials, and reducing or repeating the taxes
upon the actual necessaries of life; and
upon these simple propositions it pro
poses to stand or fall i'll the great contest
now be'crs it."
This is the platform upon which the
democrats should fight in the coming cam.
paign, If they really desire to gain victory.

CoURT-TuE EXAMINATION SET FOR THURS

MAYOR GLEASON ARRESTED AND TAKEN TO
CoURT-TIIE EXAMINATION SET FOR THURS
DAY
The hostiYtles between Mayor Patrick Jerome
Gleason, of Long Island City, and the Long Island
Railroad Company were continued with much vigor,
but the war has assumed different aspect.
The Mayor was served with two warrants
issued by Justice Delahanty charging him with
malcIously destroying the Long Island Railroad
property Court Officer James Pantry was given the
warrants to serve upon the Mayor, hut refused 10
execute them. The Court endeavored to show the
officer the folly of his action but he stubbony refused
to take advice. Detective James Cody, Of the Long
Island Railroad Company, was then ordered 10 put
the warrants into execution. The Mayor was not AZ
all surprised he had been previously Informed that
his arrest was only question Of time.
As the big Mayor entered the court room. he SAID
good naturedy TO the Court understand you nave
got two complaints against me-" Il have' re-
piled Judge Delahanty laughingly. The examination
down for Thursday next During the discussion
about fixing a definite day for trial. lively scene
took place. Counsellor Foster wanted the examina-
ton set down for Friday or Saturday Of this week.
This was opposed by Counsellor Allen who thought
that Tuesday next would be agreeable day. "We
can't do that replied Mr. Foster We have TO prepare
for the Injunction proceedings before the Supreme
Court next Monday And don't forget chimcd In
the Mayor staring at Mr.. Allen. that I've got 10
get Austin COrbin before me on Tuesday. He's got
to answer. I'll know the reason Why Mr. torDln
mjoined Mr.. Allen knows how to take care OF his
own rights" Judge Delahanty finally settled the
difficulty by placing the examination down for Thurs
day. In the meanwhile. the Mayor was parOled IN
the custody Of his counsel The Mayor then Loft the
court declaring that he would show the railroad com
pany that they could not run the city while he was the
Mayor.
