A Large Meeting in New York TO Protest
Against Hills denomination.
OF Hill Hiss the Speakers.

New YORK, Sept. Z.
A meeting TO protest against the renomina-
ton of Gov. Hill was held in Cooper Union
tonight, about 250o people being present.
Wheeler w. Peckham presided. Among the
vice presidents were Oswald OttendOrfer,
Anson Phelps Stokes, Everett =. Wheeler
Louis F. Post, Geo. Haven Putnam, Everett
Glackin, ID. Ii. Chamberlain, +. ii. Waning,
Chas. Coudert Montgomery Skyer and Dan
iel e. Thompson. Franklin Edison, Jr, was
one of the secretaries.
Peckham made the first speech denounc-
ing Hill for his action regarding the aqueduct
and other actions. The audience was tur-
hulent, disturbers frequently calling for Hill
Peckham became angry and this made the
Hill men bolder. The speaker finally gave
up and introduced Ex-Rairoad Commissioner
John ID. Herman. Herman was more moder-
ate IN tone and got along hetter but the au-
dience soon tired of his effort and began to
shout for Henry George. Herman quickly
concluded his speech and made way for the
great single tax advocate, who received
round applause as he appeared but when he
declared his hostility to Hill, there was a
tremendous uproar of mingled cheers, hiss
es. yells and groans. George denounced
Hill especially for his veto of the el, ctoral
reform bill. The tumult was renewed be-
fore George had proceeded far and it was
evident number of people were there for
the purpose of making trouble. George
turned to Inspector Williams and asked if
order couldn't be restored but the police
made not the slightest effort to check the
disturbers. George did the best he could to
make an eloquent speech in favor of the
electoral measure which Hill had vetoed.

pensioner claims that he was told by these

turn to the democratic fold he would lose
his pension the very next week after the
election. Our citizens are greatly indignant
over the outrage which was attempted TO be
