SOME OTHER MEETINGS AND SPEAKERS

NEW YORK, Oct 29-The big Republi-
can meeting at Brooklyn at the Clermont
avenue rink, tonight, was a most enthusi-
astic rally for the Republican National
ticket Five thousand people attended the
demonstration and cheered and applauded
the utterances of Hon. William NJ. Evarts
and the other speakers. Upon being intro
duced to the audience Mr.. Evarts said:
Two surprises occurred at the Demo-
cratic Convention at Chicago, one in rela-
tion to its candidates and the other In rela-
tion to its party. When the Democratic
PARTY met in convention it said in substance:
Now, what can we do? Carry New York as
tar as the candidacy is concerned, for with
out New York we cannot carry the coun-
try, and with New York we may be able to
carry it. Then they asked the delegation of
~ members from New York who the candi-
date: was. Our candidate is David B.
Hill,' was the answer. We'll, the con-
vention replied, 'it is very kind of you to
give us your opinion. but he won't receive
the support OF the country. We want you
to nominate ex-President Cleveland. We
think the rest of the country will support
him. What will your State do about him?"
and with one voice the New York men,
bers replied: we won't vote for him?'
The Question of Constitotionality.
'The convention resolved itself, as far as
can understand, into a constitutional con-
vention, md proceeded to make over again
the Constitution of the United States.
They went to work with the currency bank
ing system, and they pronounced the sys-
TEN all wrong by which our money is safe
and sound, and so universally that one car
ries what money he has in the shape of
bills in his pocket or keeps it in his desk
Without knowing or caring to know what
bank anyone ofthese bills is from. [Cheers.
This constitutional convention decided that
it is unconstitutional to have good money
for the whole country, but constitutional to
have bad money in every State of it"
At the conclusion of Mr. Evarts' speech
the following resolution was adopted by q
rising vote:
Resolved, That the Republicans and citi-
zcns OF Brooklyn, here assembled, desire to
express to benjamin Harrison, President of
the United States, their profound sympathy
and coincidence in his recent afliction and
bereavement.
Ex-Governor John S. Wise, of Virginia,
was then introduced Mr.. Wise paid a
glowing tribute to the administration of
President Harrison. Under President Har-
rison's administration, he said, there was
more employment for workingmen and
wages had increased. The country was
prosperous and the number of business fail
ures had decreased Therefore, the people
will show bv their votes on election day
that they do not want any Democrat Wild
cat money. In 1884 Mr.. Cleveland's atti-
tude was altogether different to what it was
to-day. Now he had taken Tammany Hall
to his bosom.
Where the Workingmen Are.
"Where are the workingmen?" continued
the speaker, ''who cry out against the bur-
dens OF this protective tariff? No you don't
where the shoe pinches, read the English
journals. England only gave up protec-
ton when she became so rich that she
thought she could compete with the nations
of the world. Ii you want to hear Mr..
party lauded to the skies, read the English
papers Why, we are at this moment on
the verge of q prosperity we never dreamed
OF, and yet the Democratic party wants us
10 give up a certainty and try an oft-dis-
credited experiment
Speaking ofthe force bill, Governor Wise
said that the men who are CRYING out loud
est against that measure are men who have
been making force bills themselves during
the past 20 years, bv stuffing the ballot
boxes and corrupting elections in the South.
Cooper Union, this city, gas crowded to
the doors tonight with an audience that
RuplEuded wildly at every mention of the
names of President Harrison and Governor
Mckinley. c. F. Chittenden, ex-Register
OF the Treasury, presided Other speakers
were Edward T. Bartlett and Ben Butter
