The eagerness with which the Democratic managers

their dread Of Republican activity, for they wen Ao"

I'm the success OF the Republican mass-meetngs t'er
than devotng their attention to Democratic meetings.
That these Republican meetings were the greatest
political meetings in p0la Of numbers and influence OF
the people attending held in Harlem is admitted
by every responsible newspaper. Harlem had never
seen anything like it, hence the discontinue OF the
Democrats in their predictions of Republican failure.
The highest estimates of the number Of people at
lending the Republican meeting in Harlem River
casino IN this park, which is in reality two immense
halls thrown into is capable Of holding from five
10 seven thousand people and ii was packed TO It's
utmost capacity the night of the meeting, while
several thousand people failed to find an entrance
and had to contend themselves by echoing the
cherrs Of the great multitude from the outside;
it is more than probable that fully 10000 people
were in the park to attend tbs meeting That this
number Of representative citizens Of Harlem should
leave their comfortable hOm3s and brave the worst
weather this city has experienced in the whole year
Is in itself of great satOn and presages In no

of Thomas G. Plat, and the confidence that the
Harlem Republicans have in successfully meeting this

challenge Of the Hamilton Republican Club to the
Harlem Democratic Club to have public joint de-
bats on the question. The Harlem Democratic Club
at meeting held Wednesday night accepted the
challenge and appointed committee Of three TO make
arrangements with the Hamilton Club committee for the
&bate. The Hamilton Club have designated Colonel T. c.
Campbell the president OF the club, their leadern the
debate, while the Harlem Democratic Club will prob
ably select either Congressman A. F. Fitch or Colonel
John r. Fellows. The debate will be held in the
Harlem Opera House, the time not yet having been
decided upon.
There is no section Of New York State, and part
OF New-York City, that is concerned in the site
held in New-York City 1t would have been held in
Iarem, and it would have been Harlem that would
haze been most benefited injured, as the case may
be- by having the Worlds Fair here. So that de-
bait this subject in Harlem between representatives
of Harlem Democratic organization and Harlem
Republican organization will occasion great Interest ut
this priod of the campaign. The Republicans eagerly
look toward TO the debate opportunity Of spik
ing theonly gun that The Tammany managers have
been hrAg during the campaign.
