The immense crowd which filled every bit Of
available space in the large hall Of Cooper Union
last evening, the boundless enthusiasm with which
! the candidate of the Peoples Municipal League
and the speakers were greeted, the cheers which
echoed and re-echoed in the great room as tho
sins and shortcomings of cammany Hall were
recounted, proved that the German citizens Of
New-York have determined that Francis NJ.
Scott should be the next Mayor. Mr. Scott ap-
peared at the meeting late, but he was received
with demonstration of loyalty and enthusiasm
which even he has hardly seen equalled in this
campaign. The applause was deafenng. Again
and again he tried to begin his speech, and again
and again he was forced to listen to the tri-
umphant plaudits of his legions Of friends and
admirers. At the close of his speech the applause
which greeted its beginning was repeated and re-
doubled. The great meeting was called to order

chairman.

Of the meeting an eloquent one. lie saw

honorable city government. They al wanted
good police good schools and clean streets. They

of the city was never worse than at the present
time. 1t was characterized by ignorance, NAL
feasanoe and extravaganza. Now was the oppor-
tunity to throw of the yoke which rested on the
necks Of the people. 1t wouId he the fault OF
