THEY RALLY ROUND FASSETT.

MUSIC HALL.

GOOD SPEECHES AGAINST TAMMANY BY COR
NELIUs ". BLISS, JOHN cLAFLIN, FREDERICK
TAYLOR, EDWIN EINsTEIN, CHARLES
S. SMITH, Mr.. FAssETT AND
Mr.. vRooMAN.
That the misgovernmcnt of New-York City has
been possible only by reason Of the apathy OF
business men in political campaigns is truth
that has been repeated so often that it has become
trite The gathering at the Music Hall last
evening Therefore, augured all that was bright
and hopeful for the Republican ticket, for the
great auditorium was filed 10 the doors with men
who form the backbone Of the business comnu-
nifty, and who showed their enthusiasm for fas-
sett and Vrooman by the most enthusiastic ap-
plause at the mere mention of their names. Inc
meeting was held under the auspices of no organi-
zation, but was the result of n spontaneous up
rising of downtown business men. IL was the
crystallization of the widespread and deep feeling
in business circles that the time had come for
a long pull, strong pull and pull all together
against Tammany Hall, and the outcome Of the
conviction that never has there been light
against the striped niquity" in which the chances
for its defeat were brighter
Ihe assemblagc was one to fill with pride the
heart of every Republican. In spite of the rival
attractions at the LenoX Lyceum, the beautiful
hall was crowded to its fullest capacity-the side
aslcs and spaces behind the seats being filed as
well the chairs. The large number of women
present was also q remarkable and pleasing feature
of the meeting. Nearly every box contained we'll
dressed women, and many OF them were also OH
the platform and in the orchestra chairs. They
lent beauty to the scene and refinement and
dignity TO the meeting, and their hand-cappins
was no insignificant part of the total applause,
REPRESENTATIVE GATHERING.
In other respects the gathering one such
as could have been held in this campaign only
under the banner Of Mr.. Fassett. Men of mark Ia
every calling and business were there to show that
so far as they were concerned the charge of politi
cal apathy was unfoundcd. Some of those present
have commercial interests reaching all over tho
country and throughout the world; many were
men whose wealth is measured by hundreds OF
thousands there were merchants whose names
were synonymes for integrity and enterprise in the
business community and whose advocacy of the
cause of Mr.. Fassett will exert mighty influence
on election day. That such men should take
an active part in the campaign against
Tammany Hall means far more than that their
votes are to be cast for Mr. FasSett election
day. Men Of this stamp lead strong following
to every cause they champion. and the influence
of representative gathering like that of last
night means thousands of votes on election day.
Mr.. Fassett spoke again from the platform from
which he opened his canvass in this city shortly
after his nomination, and his reception was as
hearty as he could have wished Since his
previous appearance in the hall he had made
| ] OF speeches and had carried on aggressive.
energetic campaign which had stirred up the
| people Of the entire State lie was entitled to
| warm reception last night and il was given TO him
| Mr. Fassett has displayed qualities which have
won the most ardent personal devotion Of his
followers, and his appearance on the platform
was the signal for welcome which thrilled tbs
| heart of every present.
