Overflow Meetings.

NEW YoBK, Oct. 25.--Tammany hs
ratified. With the glow and flash of re-
fire in the sky, with the. roar of risin
cheers, and with the acclaim Of thou
sands of braves, the great Democrat
society made known tonight that it wa
loyal to the Democratic nominees
While the bells OF the big Tammany hal
shook and rocked and swayed to welcom
Senator Hill, and while the throng
about twelve open-air overflow stand
filed the streets and paralyzed traffic 70
blocks around, the Tammany leader
declared their fealty.
1t was the most gigantic mass meeting
the metropolis of America ever saw
When the doors were thrown open at
O'Clock, the throng that hae
stood clamoring for two hour
rushed in, and in few min
utes the building was packed
yet there seemed slight diminution in
| the crowd outside. Then came a wait
| of an hour. National Chairman Har.
| rity, accompanied by National Commit.
| teemen Dickinson and Smalley, and
many other prominent Democrats, then
came, and the applause that greeted
them had scarcely died away when a
hurricane of cheers went forth as wei.
come to the speakers of the evening,
who came upon the stage.
Governor Flower was introduced as
chairman, and for several minutes he
was unable to speak, owing to the deas-
ening burst of cheers that went up. FL
nally he obtained . hearing, and spoke
as follows:
GOVERNOR FLOWERS SPEECH.
In opening, Flower spoke of the SYM
pathy the political opponents OF Presi-
dent Harrison had for him in his be-
reavement. He said the Democrats
were working for q Democratic victory
becauee they believed that would bring
better government and better living foS
the masses. Though tbs nemocracvo ol
| the Empire state had declared in favor
| of another candidate than him whom
the majority OF the party in the state
wanted, it loyalty rubmitted to the wis
dom of the majority in the nation, and
| throughout the entire country no party
machinery was doing greater work for
the Democratic success than the Demo-
cratic organisations of New York state.
Referring to the financial interests of
the country, he eald: I'm business we
have no confidence in an agent who
tquanders our income, and is afterwards
detected covering up his tracks by
changing his method of bookkeeping
That is exactly what the Republican
-. ~ m y, M >, ~ ~oer
has done. For years there has been set
aside in the treasury fund for the re-
demption of national bank notes. The
government is bound to use it for that
purpose, and through the Cleveland ad-
ministration and through a portion of
Harrison's administration itwas treated
as liability and reserve fund. When
Cleveland went out of Office it amounted
to about Sc, GOO 600; it now amounts to
about $25, 200, 900. But it was recently
transferred from the liability to the as
sets side of the treasury statement, and
is one of several large sums which are
used to cover up the actual deficiency.
| II the same system of bookkeeping with
which Harrison's administration began
were still used, there would be revealed
an actual deficit Of over SAG, 100000
The Mckinley protection did some
good, OF course, said Flower; it tempo
rarily stimulated certain industries and
encouraged new ones, but the trouble
with that kind of protection, according
to the Democratic view, was that it was
not only unjust to the great body of
consumers, but have an artificial and
unhealthy stimulus to such industries
az it designed to protect.
| "As to tina force bill," he concluded,
"when the Republican party has reached
q condition where to ineure it's political
supremacy, it dare not trust the unin-
timidated, honest vote of the people,
but tries to perpetuate its power by a
! deliberate. arbitrary subversion OF the
constitutional government, it is time for
| the local governments everywhere to
( rise up and strike the ecepter Of power
! from such unworthy hands,"
| PLEDGE TO THE COUNTRY.
Following Flowers speech came the
unanimous adoption Of resolutions,
which, after endorsing Cleveland and
Stevenson and condemning the force
bill, said: "To our brethren through
out the country we pledge such decia-
| i've majority in this city for the Demo
cratic candidates as will secure the cleo
toral vote of this state for Cleveland and
Stevenson, for the promotion of peace
and good will among the sections, and
for the commercial emancipation of the
industrial masses OF this country from
the restrictions and onerous burdens
imposed upon them by Republican class
legislation"
HILL GIVEN AN OVATION.
Governor Flower then introduced SEN
ator Hill. At the mention Of the ex.
governors name there was another
great outburst Of cheers. chill T.
"Hilll !" was shouted time after time. II
spread to the street and was taken up
by the multitude, and only died away
when the people became exhausted
The senator awaited patiently the res
toration Of order, and then spoke.
SENATOR HILLS ADDRESS.
/ In opening, Hill referred to the sup
port he received from the Democracy o.
the Empire state during his political
career. Continuing. he said: =! place
great reliance in the predictions OF intel
ligent political observers Of the succesl
Of our national candidates In the state
