NEW YORK, Nov. 3-The announcement that
Tammany Hall would hold another mass meet
ing tonight to ratify the nominations OF Cieve-
land and Stevenson attracted an immense throng
OF people to the vicinity of the wigwam. The
Same scenes a. were witnessed at Tammany's
meeting last week were repeated this evening.
Before O'Clock the people began to gather, and
before the speaking began the block from Third
10 Fourth avenues and from Fourteenth to Fif-
teenth streets was blocked with people The
streets were ablazs with gas, electricity and
fireworks. Practically there were ten meetings
going on at once. Senators Eustis and Carlisle
were the principal speakers at the main meet
ing. Joseph J. ODonahue, as chairman, opened
the meeting with brief speech.
letter from Senator Gorman to Richard
Croker was read. The senator expresses regret
at inability to be present at the meeting, but
says:
cannot permit the occasion to pass without
saying that the completeness OF your union and
sne manly and eloquent uttefances of Senator
Hill! aud your efforts and enthusiasm have
made 1t absolutely certain that the electoral vote
OF New York win be cast for the nominees OF
considered doubtful have taken 'es courage from
your example and will show upon the day OF
election that they have learned from you how
Eve victory sy the The ss .aa.
and brains and whose only power con.
sists in the use Of free ballot,
win not be overpowcred by the methods prac-
ticed at the polls by the beneficiaries of any
system OF legislation. They win overthrow the
party which created that system. They will in
spirit of perfect fairness modify the system
number il secured, and will drive bribers aud
their candidates from the field OF politics.
The people are turning to Grover Cleveland in
the members of the Republican party cannot,
believe, alter the result. If you and and all
earnest Democrats give ourselves mp from now
until the close OF the day of election to the
support OF the candidates of the great Demo-
cratic party.
Senator Eustis was then introduced and spoke
for some time. The evidence was unmistak-
able. said he, that the Democratic masses were
determined 70 win this fight Regarding the
Mckinley bill, the speaker called 1t Q mischiev-
ous device to aid the Republican party to per.
petuate itself in power by providing itself
with gigantic corruption fund to be drawn
from protected manufacturers. The man who
denounced it most scathingly when 1t was pre-
pared was James G. Blaine. Then reciprocity
was put on and the party's policy became reci-
procity In the West, protection in the East
Speaking of the force bill, Senator Eustis said 1t
was impossible to describe the alarm and ex-
citement 1t had created In the South. Its pass
age would enslave the American people aud dig
the grave of American libsrty.
The next speaker was Senator Carlisle, OF
Kentucky. He was received with enthusiastic
applause, and said the only question now con-
fronting the people was whether the presidency
was to be purchased and whether the people
were to be bribed with their own money. The
question OF taxation, he said, was the most i'm
portsnt that could be submitted to the people,
The speaker had no prejudice against those
engaged in the protected industries. They were
men who had contributed largely to the growth
Of the country. He wanted to see them sue
ceed, but wanted them to succeed on their own
merits and not at the expense of other men,
bers of the community. He thought Mai Nc.
Kinley should not monkey with statistics, but
should continue fighting wildcat banks. After
discussion Of the force bill from a Democratic
standpoint, Carlisle closed with eulogy Of the
Democratic candidates. A. T. Hamm, OF
Georgia, followed in q discourse punctu ated
with stories. Congressman John D. Warner,
Starr. Hoyt, Nichols and walling also spoke.
