The Democratic organization known as
the Tammany Society of New York gave a
grand manifestation of its political activity
last night when it stood sponsor for the
biggest demonstration of the campaign.
The rally occurred in and around Tam

most sangune expectations 1t was the
second and last demonstration Of the Tam
manyites. The first was successful enough

big hall crowded to the doors and an over

quired eight stands of speakers to attend
the crowd-but Tammanyis chief was not
satisfied. lie wanted something better,

army, and more than enough responded.

attractions-Senator Carlisle, Senator Cor

story teller-tO talk inside the hall, and a
dozen stands We're erected from Third ave-
nue.up Fourteenth street and across Union

speakers. Then to insure attendance if
necessary the committee of thirty ordered
every other Democratic meeting in New
York scheduled Tor the night To be post
poned. A notice was sent To every mem
ber of the organization to be ON hand, and
bring as many with him as possible The
result was "A mammoth celebration in sup

manys prctensions to be the chief political
organization of the Nineteenth century.

stood in the foreground of fair landscape.
At his feet crouched tiger, the head aud
shoulders of which peered from the me

sentiment. On either side of the two me-

these the waves dashed wildly, as il trying
to reach the two eagles perched upon the
rocks above, holding IN their claws the ma
national shield and motto. Joseph A.
O'Donohue presided. A letter from sen
