clarion notes proclaimed for the democracy OF
David Bennett Hill, and, in closing, made 1t
very plain that Tammany was ready TO meet

10 como. The great wigwam was jammed with
big chiefs and little chiefs. and all the Indians
wore the talest Of head feathers and the
brightest Of paint.
Richard Croker sat In q front seat, and close
TO him were Thomas Gilroy and W. Bourke

free government and Of popular right, and
as such it has incurred the relentless hostility
OF every enemy OF universal suffrage. The op-
position Of its natural political enemies has
been aggravated to unwonted fury by the re-
iusal OF Democratic officers to pay political
blackmail to the managers OF the Republican
machine The Republican office seekers and
the Mugwump malignants have combined in
vindictiye attempt to discredit the municipal
government through the medium OF q partisan
committee; but this organization points with
pride to the record that though domestic life
has been invaded and women and children
have been assailed our enemies have been un-
