New YoRK, Oct. 25-Tammany has rat
ided. With glow and fash and fire in a
tranquil sky, with roar and shock Of rising
cheers, and with the thunderous acclaim OF
almost countless thousands of loyal braves,
the great democratic society made known
tonight that it was loyal still. With cheers
still dying away in the throbbing air, aud
with red lights fading in the midnight sky,
the enthusiastic followers Of the great tiger
shouted in mighty roar OF insistence
that they were loyAl-all loyal-whlle
yet the walls of the big Tammany
ball shook and rocked and swsyed to wei
come Senator Hill, and while yet the
throng about the twelve open air overflow
stands filed up The streets and paralyze
traffic for blocks around, the leaders Of
the great host declared that ID was the most
gigantic, most colossal, and most over
whelmiEg mass meeting that the metropolis
of America has ever seen. Embarrassed
pedestrians, who had to go blocks out of
their way TO get through Fourteenth street,
were willing 70 admit that they were right,
and that the claim OF an attendance OF
more than 100, 900 voters was not entirely
without foundation.
Senator Hill was che great man OF this
great meeting. 1t was the first time that
he had ever spoken in Tammany Hall, and
the leaders of the "tger" had determined
IN ahovv him q vuaiooroa tbat would ha ovar
whelmingly convincing and irrefutable.

When the doors wers thrown open at Z
o'clock the throng that had stood olamoring
for two hours at the entrance rushed into
the hall with cheers of enthusiasm, In a
few minutes the building was packed, yet it
seemed that there was but slight diminu-
ton in the crowd outside. Then came a
wait of an hour. The interval vas filed in
by band playing the national airs Of
America, France, Germany and Italy,
the crowd repeatedly breaking out
ia cheers and calling for
Cleveland and Stevenson, Hill. Flower or
Gilrey. National Chairman Harrlty, ao-
eompanisd by National Committeeman
Dickinson, Smalley and many other promi-
nent democrats came into the hall aud went
into the box reserved for them. The
applause that greeted them had
scarcely died away when hurricane of
cheers went forth as a welcome to the
speaker OF the evening. who came upon the
| stage escorted by the leaders of Tanmany
| Hall. When quiet was restored Stare Sen =
| Rter George +. Roesoh, in q short speech, in
