Democrats.

Z New YORK, Nov. 3.-The Democratic
organization known as the Tammany
Society of New York gave grand
manifestation Of its political activity to-
night, when it stood sponsor for the
biggest demonstration of the campaign.
The rally occurred in and around Tam
many Hall, and was successful beyond
the most sanguine expectations.
1t was the second and last days dem
Onstration of the Tammanyites. The first
was successful enough for any ordinary
political organization - the big hall
crowded to the doors, and an overflow
meeting on Fourteenth street that re-
uuired eight stands of speakers
to attend the crowd, but Tam
many's chief was not satisfied.
He wanted something better, and
tonIght'S unique demonstration was the
result. Tammany's wonderful OrganiZ-
ing abilities were called into play.
Enough volunteer speakers were called
for to talk to an army and more than
enough responded. Then
Arrangements Were Made
to get big attractions like Gov. Russell,
Senator Carlisle, Senator German and
w. j. Hall, the Georgian story teller, to
talk inside the hall, and dozen stands
we're erected from Third avenue up
Fourteenth street and across Union
square to Fifth avenue, for which there
were plenty good and well-known speak
5rs. Then to insure the attendance
necessary the committee ordered every
ather Democratic meeting in New
York scheduled for tonight to be
postponed A notice was sent to every
member to be on hand and bring as
many as possible. The result was
mammoth celebration in support of
Cleveland and Stevenson, such as has
not been seen in New York for many
years, and such as fully justified Tam
nany's pretension to be the chief polit-
lcal organization of the nineteenth cen
hurry.
The meeting was announced to begin
at O'Clock, but two hours before that
Fourteenth street, from Third avenue
10 Broadway,
Was One Mass
Df pushing and hustling humanity.
The crowd was good-natured and Or
derly, that is, if enthusiasm and noise
can be exempted from the term. for the
cheering for the various candidates OF
the party ana the singing of campaign
song was continuous.
The doors of Tammany hall were
opened at o'clock and then rush re-
sembling nothing so much as the storm
ing of a fortress eDSued. The famous
place was soon crowded to its utmost,
and those who had failed to gain admis-
sion into the hall turned their attention
to finding advantageous places at the
various outdoor stands. Music, singing,
the sizzling of rockets, the general ell
thusiam and the immense crowd formed
a scene, the like of which is rarely pre-
Bented.
The Decorations.
The big hall inside was appropriately
decorated. Across the stage was
huge oil painting draped i'll national
flags, fanked by two large medallions
in which were the portraits of Cleve-
land and Stevenson. IL the center stood
the figure Of an Indian in war paint and
feathers. Tanmany's chieftain stood in
The foreground of a fair landscape. At
his feet crouched a tiger, the head and
shoulders of which peered from the
medallion having Stevenson's counter
felt presentment. On either side of the
two medallions were painted rocks.
Against the these waves dashed wildly
as if trying to reach the two eagles
perched upon the rocks above, holding
in their claws the national shield and
motto. To the right and left of this
allegorical painting were huge oil paint
ngs of the Tammany nominees for
mayor and county clerks, Thomas f.
Eilroy and Henry Condy.
