The first general Endorsement by New-York Re-
publicans of the excellent work accomplished 40
the Chicago Convention was given last night In
the Metropolitan Opera House. 1t was given with
an emphasis that leaves no doubt as to the salts
faction felt by the party here over the platform
and the candidates and with an enthusiasm seldom
displayed at such an early stage in campaign.
1t was given by an audience that one would hardly
believe could be brought together in public hall
for any purpose on O summer evening. larger
or more thoroughly Republican assembly Is rarely
seen in this city. It completely filed the great
building. Every gallery was crowded. NOT .
square foot Of vacant space was visible downstairs.
The stage was literally packed. Every aisle was
filed, and even the private boxes were invaded
by hundreds of others than those who had re-
ceived the right to them for the evening.
SUCCESSFUL OVERFLOW MEETINGS.
Even then, there seemed to be almost as many
without as within the hall. Thousands unable
to get within hearing distance OF the speakers, re-
turned to their homes, but as many more keps
coming, until it was necessary to organize over
flow meetings in the streets around the Opera
House This was done in highly successiui
manner At one of these gatherings, IN Weso
Thirty-eighth-st, it was estimated that the at
tendance exceeded five thousand the great majority
Of whom were voters
This was true also of the audience within tho
Opera House. There were, to be sure, large
number of women present, but it was pre-
eminently a gathering of citizens especially or
the younger class, the element particularly repre-
sented by that admirable organization, the Re-
publican Club, under whose auspices the meeting
was held But all wings Of the party had tnein
delegates there.
PROMINENT MEN WHO WERE THERE
General Sherman sat in the box at the rigns
of the stage, refusing to leave his reured piaco
with as much persstency as he has shown IN de7
cIning to enter active politics. John T. Lynch,
leading Irish-American, who has come out OF
the Democratic party because of Its free-trade
hereses sat beside the General Ex-senator L. u

the other side near that of Edward Mltcheli ana

Brookfeld, Henry Wyncoop, Frederick G. Gedney.
Colonel T. G. James, General Joseph q Jackson,
Simon Stevens, Mortimer G. Addoms, +. w. Scott
Edward Ammidown, and q host of others equally
we'll known.
There was great regret at the announcement
that Chauncey NJ Depew, who was expected to
speak, wa, not present.
His absence, though much regretted, did NOS
mar the meeting. That would, indeed, have been
O difficult thing TO do with such an audience
and with such speakers as ex-Congressman Horr,
whose lively wit and keen thrusts kept the crowd
either laughing or applauding almost continuously
