IN TINS city was held tonight IN Cooper

1t could possibly hold. The hall was
proiusely decorated with American
hags, and on either side OF the speak

hags. Back OF the platform hung por-

Reid
As Reid advanced to the reading
desk the audience rose TO It's feet and
CHEERED AND cHEEREp AGAIN,
and waved handkerchieis and nags.
Mr., Reid said:
1T is fortunate TO come after the
great head Of the ticket, who has al.
ready spoken 10 the whole country on
every phase Of the political situation
and touched nothing that he did not
| illuminate As well as adnrn. Good
fortune for us all at this moment is
farther uenhanced by the fact
/ that We are nearing the close
| Of our leaders first term.
4 There is the true inspiration Of this
canvass, magniticently successful adj
| ministration AZ home and abroad which
/ gives the country now substantial
| guarantee, not merely an affair OF
speech. but wise and satisfactory per-
Torrance. II has been able, clean and
Of good report; and the country knows
it.
"The country will not abandon rs
present prosperous security and reck-
| lOssly venture out upon sea OF chance,
in tariff, in reciprocity, in banking, in
| currency. IN shipping, which the Chi
| cago platform Processes. That depends
upon whether the united Republican
/ party Of the state Of New
| York does its full duty and
exerts its full strength for the next
six weeks. The preliminary work has
been done and from my knowledge o.
| the action OF the committees ! think
may assume 1t has been well done, Om
care now is that both organized and IN
/ dividual efforts Of active Republican,
everywhere be aroused and every Re-
publican be urged to tho necessity o.
work. and convince him that no victory
In this great empire OF B0,OOg0O0 soul
can ever be had without M then Z
| have full Republican vote registered
and then TO have II, in spite OF the
| Australian ballot and other new DIM
| cilties, fully cast and fairly counted
! If so, New York belongs TO US.
Never from the day Of JohnC.tremon
have Democrats been able toregain the
electoral vote Of New York until thcy
had popular leader Of the state az
their candidate and united party be
hind him. Such leader as all the worlC
knows Horatlo Seymour and such a uni
ted and enthusiastic following be alway'
had. Such d leader was 81. Tilden, such
another Grover Cleveland was though
10 be when his party first nominated
him for president. Mr. Cleveland car
i'd the state the first time by l,Oi7 and
the next time was beaten by over IA
600 votes by Ben Harrison. On tina
ratio and under that Same leader wha'
sort OF a majority against him ough
New York to give this time Z"
When the applause that followed
Reid's speech had subsidized, Mr.. FIAT
introduced ex-senator Warner Miller

Chaupcey NJ. Dopew followed Miller
