NEW YORK., Oct. c5.-Tammany has rat
ified with glow and fash Of rod Are In
the sky, with the roar OF rising cheers. and
with the acclaim Of thousands Of loyal
braves, the democratic society has made
known tonight that II Was loyal 10 the
democratic nominees, while the bells of
big Tammany hall shook and rocked and
swaycd to the welcome OF Senator Hill.
and while throng Of about l2 open air
overflow stands fllled the streets and par
alizcd traffic for blocks around. Tam.
many leaders declared II was tho most
gigantic mass meeting the metropolis Of
America had ever seen. When tho doors
were thrown open II was z o'clock. Tho
throng that had stood clamoring for two
hours rushed In md in few minutes the
building was packed, yet there seemed a
slight diminution in the crowd on tho OUT
side. Then came wait of an hour. M.
tional Chairman Harrity. accompanied by
National Committeeman Dickinson and
Smalley and many other prominent dem
ocrats, then came. Tho applause that
greeted them had scarcely died AWAY when
q hurricane of cheers went forth as well
come to the speakers of the evening who
came upon the stage.
Governor Flower was introduced as
chairman and for several minutes was
unable to speak, owing to the deafcning
burst OF cheers that went up. Finally he
obtained hearing and spoke as follows:
In opening Flower spoke Of the sympa.
thy the political opponents of the presi.
dent have for him In his bereavement. He
said the democrats are working for a
democratic victory because they believe
that would bring better government and
better living for the masses. Though
the democracy OF the Empire state has de-
clared In favor of another candidate than
him whom tho majority of the party
wanted, they Loyalty submitted to the wis
dom of that majority. and throughout tho
entire country no party machinery Is do
ing greater work for democratic success
than the democratic organizations of New
York state.
Referring to financial interests he said:
"In business we have no confidence in
the agent who squanders our income and
afterwards is detected in covering his
tracks by changing his method of book
keeping. That is exactly what the rcpub-
lican administration and the republican
congress has done for years. There has
been set aside in the treasury fund for
the redemption Of national bank notes.
The government is bound to use II for
that purpose, and through the Cleveland
administration and through portion of
Harrison's administration II was treated
as liability and reserve fund.
When Cleveland went out of
Office II amounted to about
SsO.00D.0o0. 1t now amounts to about
S25,OOO.000, but IL was recently transferred
from the liability to the assets side of the
treasury statement and is one of he largest
sums which is used to clear up the actual
deficiency. II the samc system of book
keeping with which Harrison's adminis-
tration began Is still used II would reveal
an actual deficit of more than $A6.0OO,00O.
Mckinley protection did some good of
course. 1t temporarily stimulated certain
industries and encouraged new ones, but
the trouble with that kind of protection,
according to the democratic view. was, IL
In not only unjust 10 the great body of
consumers, but gives an artificial and un.
healthy stimulus TO such industries as il
is designed TO protect"
As TO the force bill he concluded:
"When the republican party reached the
condition where to insure political SUE
prcmacy il darcs not trust tho untimi-
dated honest vote of the people. but SO ms to
perpetuate power by liberate arbitrary sub.
version of the Constitutional government,
ii is time for loyal Americans everywhere
to rise up and strike the sccptre of power
from these unworthy hands,,
Following Flowers speech came unan-
imous adoption of resolutions which. after
endorsing Cleveland and Stevenson and
condemning the force bill, said: "To our
brethren throughout the country we pledge
such decisive majority in this city for
the democratic candidates as will secure
the electoral votes of this state for Cleye-
land and Stevenson; for the promotion of
peace and good will among sections and
for the commercial emancipation of the
industrial masses OF this country from the
restrictions and onerous burdens i'm
posed upon them by republican class leg
isn,ion."
Governor Flower next introduced Sena.
tor Hill. At the mention OF the ex-gover-
nor's name there was another great out.
burst of applause. The name of "Hill!.
"Hill!' was shouted time after time. Il
spread to the street and was taken up by
the multitude and only died away when
the people became exhausted. The scna-
tor awaited patiently for restoration of
order and then spoke.
In opening Hill refer red to the support
he had received from the democracy of
the Empire state during his political
career. Continuing he said: To-day
great reliance OF intelligent political OBJ
servers for tho success of our nat ional
candidates in the states rests upon the i'm.
mensc majority which it is expected will
be rolled up In the city under the aus
piccs Of tho magnificent organization of
Tammany hall. Those who. because OF per-
sonal disappointmcnts would encourage
temporary defeat of the party usually live
TO regret their actions and realize how
difficult IL is for the party to regain the
ground unwisely and foolishly lost. be-
iieve in healthy. strong. vigorous parti.
sanship. but not a manifestation of mar
row. hide-bound or selfish spirit.''
