New YORK, June 29.-The Metropoli-
tan opera house was crowded tonight
by thousands of citizens in ratitica-
ton meeting addressed by Col. r. &.
Ingersoll, Congressman Hoar, of Michi
gan. and other popular speakers. Long
before the hour announced for the open
ing of the meeting it was estimated that
1000 people had entered. Every availa-
BILE space was soon occupied, and by the
time Chairman Bartlett called the meet
ing to order the building was packed.
The neighboring streets were crowded
with interested spectators who came
too late to secure an admittance to the
building. The interior of the building
was a scene of the widest enthusiasm.
1t was decidedly an American audience,
and the national airs discoursed by
Cappa and his Seventh regiment band
evoked prolonged applause. The names
of Harrison, Morton, Sherman and
Blaine were signals for outbursts of
cheers and clapping of hands lasting sew
eral minutes. Cries of no free trade"
''protection, and the like were frequent,
and the appearances on the stage of
BOB INGERSOLL
and other prominent Republicans threw
the audience into cyclone of applause.
The boxes were decorated with Ameri-
can flags, as well as the chairman'S ia
ble, and large portraits of Harrison and
Morton were visible in several parts of
the house. On the stage were grouped
together the guests of the evening, and
these numbered several hundred.
Among them were: Patrick Ford, Gen.
Stewart l.. Woodford, Chairman B. F.
Jones, of the Republican national
committee, John NJ. Knapp, Henry
Clews, Senator William II. Robertson,
Commodore James A. BoStwick, John
lius n. Bliss, j. Pierrepont. Morgan,
Edwards Pierrepont, d. o. Mills, Ber-
nard Bigbin, Horace Russell, William
w. Astor, Clarence A. Seward, John
Jacob Astor, Jesse Seligman. Theodore
Roosevelt, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Elihu
Root. Sheridan Shook, Gen. Thomas l..
James and eX-Surrogate Rollins.
At Sis Chairman Edward Bartlett
who is president of the Republican club
of this city, called the meeting to order.
In opening the meeting he spoke in
warm praise of the Republican plat,
form and of the candidates who stand
on it. He alluded to Harrison as
patriot and statesman, and referred to
his services in the field and in the SEN
ate. Of Levi p. Morton, the candidate
for vice president, he said the banking
house of which he was the head had
largely aided in the resumption of
specie payment and the funding of the
public debt. He evoked applause by
his reference to Mr.. Morton's aid in
sending food to the starving poor of
Ireland in 1880. He said the issue be-
fore the people was that of
PROTECTION TO AMERICAN INDUSTRY,
and on that issue the Republicans are
sure to win. When the speaker alluded
to Morton a picture of the candidate for
vice-president that stood by the side of
the stage was raised alOft and was
greeted with enthusiastic applause.
The first speaker of the evening, in
trOduced, was Congressman Roswell q.
Horr, of Michigan. He was received
with applause, and the applause was in
creased when he said: 81 come to you
from the Far West simply for the pur-
East that we intend to join hands
with you in redeeming the United
States of America" Continuing, he
said: 81 sat as delegate in the con-
vention at Chicago. and although it did
not select the man | favored, it did its
work fairly and well. No convention
ever had more single object in view.
1t was written in the features of the
delegates. 1t was plain to see they had
come with one single purpose-that of
nominating ticket that will win"
['And you've done it." exclaimed
voice I'VE did," replied the speaker.
1.-The PLATFORM" continued he, ''is
complete. 1t gives us the clear-cut
issue of protection to the industries of
America. The
ISSUE HAS BEEN NARROWED
down to the question which had better
manage this nation-the Republican
clubs of this country or the Golden club
of England. Enthusiastic applause L
believe in building up our own country.
The history of England does not inspire
me with enthusiasm. She's blood
sucker. When has England ever estab-
lished claim to be missionary? She
has always been for herself, and never
for u.s."
At this iuneture Gen. Sherman en-
tered almost unnoticed, but the cry
soon went up, ''three cheers for Gen.
Sherman" and as the audience noticed
him there was a mighty tumult. The
audience demanded that he take seat
on the platform. The general acknowl-
edged the applause by rising, but re-
manned in his private box. Pm glad
to belong to a party that honors its
heroes" said Mr.. Horr. England"
he said, again taking up the thread of
his subject, turned against us when
we were in the middle of the difficulty
that arose from the slavery question,
but we made her pay for it afterwards.
When we nominated our ticket Great
Britain had
NO CHEERS FOR US.
Gen. Harrison may be proud of his
ancestry, but we depend more upon
man for what he is himself than for
what his ancestors were, and in this in
stance we can all pay respect to our
candidate for living up to what his an
cestors were and for being the equal of
them. The Democrats have told us
that this is not to be a personal
campaign, that nothing is to be
said as to personal character.
This Mills bill that they want to saddle
US with, what is it? What will it do for
us in Michigan? We in Michigan raised
100000 pounds of wool last year.
They want to put that on the free list.
We cut many million feet of lumber in
Michigan last year. This they want to
put on the free list. 1t is the same with
our iron, with our copper, and yet they
say =.
MICHIGAN MAY GO DEMOCRATIC.
But it won't do it. Michigan has been
taken out of the list of doubtful states.
