Wall.st was filed from curb to curo In 'front.'
OF the Sub-Treasury Building yesterday WIN
,r., who nv their earncstness. their enthusiasm
and their attentiveness manifested Spir"
against which no organized enemy Of the city can
bona successfully to contend. At O'CLOCK, The
hour set for opening the great meeting of down.
town business men. called to protest against
further continuance in power OF Iammany HAIL.
A. was difficult for the stawart policemen on duty
them 10 keep way open for the passage Of
pedestrians or vehicles. BY that time the crowd
had overlooked into Nassau and Broad sts and
thereafter the trucks and cabs had to 90 around
the crowd through another street to reach Broad
way.
There was a significance. which to Tammany
Hall must have been exceedingly ominous, in the
holding of that meeting in front of the Sub
Treasury Building. From the steps OF thao
structure in front of which stands the nooie
figure of Washington. eloquent men have aroused
the ardent spirit of patriots in times when the
Nation has been in peril Yesterday. for the iirs'
time, a meeting was held there to arouse the citi-
zens 70 the danger which threatens the
municipality. The great dimensions OF the as
scmblagc, the enthusiastic approval OF the sca'h-
ing arraignment. by men of prominence III ousi-
ness affairs of the corrupt forces now In conhoi
of the city, proved that patriotism is not cohi'neu
70 national affairs. but that the people can and
will arise to crush the organization when mas
transformed local pride into sense of municipal
degradation.
The audience was not composed of Republicans
alone, but it did consist of enemies of Iammany
Hall. drawn from all parties. There was
represented there almost every great interest
which gives life and pulse 10 the commercial
centre of the country. Brokers, bankers meI-
chants lawyers and clerks stood shoulder to shout
der in the crowd. and if the younger men shouted
the louder, their elders waved their hats no less
earnestly. 1t was an intelligent assembage. and
as a rule the men were fashlonably attlred, pu'
occasionally one could see red-shirted laborer
who had found his way there, and who remained
to shout as loud as his neighbors in approval OF
the sentiment that good government could he Sc
cured only by the overthrow of Tammany There
was no business done in Wall Street after noon
Everybody, it seemed, had laid aside all other
duties TO assist in the demonstration for the city
welfare.
