fed. With the glow aud flash of red fire in
the tranquil sky, with the roar and shock
of rising cheers, and with the acclaim of
thousands of loyal braves the Democratic
society made known tonight that it was
loyal to the Democratic nominees. While
yet the walls of big Tammany Hall shook
and rocked and swayed to the welcome of
Senator Hill, and while vet the throng
about the u open air overflow stands filled
up the streets and paralyzed traffic for
blocks around, Tammany leaders declared
that it was the most gigantic mass meeting
that the metropolis of America had ever
seen.
When the doors were thrown open at
o'clock the throng that had stood clamoring
for two hours at the entrance rushed into
the hall with cheers of enthusiasm In q
few minutes the building was packed, yet
it seemed that there was but slight dim
mutton in the crowd outside. Then came
wait of an hour The interval was filed in
by the band playing the national airs of
America, France, Germany and Italy, the
crowd repestedly breaking out in cheers
and calling for Cleveland and Stevenson,
Hill, Flower or Gilroy.
The Husilers Warmly Welcomed.
National Chairman Harrrity, accompanied
by National Committeeman Don NJ. Dickin-
son and B. d. Smalley. and many other
prominent Democrats, came into the hall
and went into box reserved for them.
The applause that greeted them had scarcely
died away when a hurricane of cheers went
forth as a welcome 10 the speakers of the
evening, who came upon the stage
escorted by the leaders of Tammany Hall
When quiet was restored State Senator
George T. Roesch, in a short speech, in
troduced Governor Roswell P. Flower as
Chairman. Mr.. Flower attempted several
times to speak, but his words were drowned
by the crowd, who cheered him again and
again. He finally secured order, and alter
a few informal remarks, in which he spoke
of the sympathy the political opponents of
President Harrison had for him in
his bereavement, the Governor said
hat the Democrats were working
for Democratic victory, because they
believed that would bring better govern
ment and better living for the masses. |
The action of the Chicago Convention had |
nut the Democrats on their mettle. It had |
actically bidden them to prove their |
mocracy, and they were going to do it.
lough the Democracy OF the Empire |
cate, through its regularly constituted del
cation, declared in favor of another candi- |
date than him whom a ma jority Of the |
party wanted, it had Loyalty SUBJ |
mitted to the wisdom of that majority,
and throughout the entire country no party |
machinery was doing greater work for |
Democratic success in this campaign than |
the Democratic organization of the State of |
New York. No local political organization |
anywhere was doing more for the Demo- |
cratic cause than the Tammany organiza- |
tion. He then went into a discussion of |
the issues from his point of view, and was
frequently cheered, especially whenever he
mentioned Cleveland's name.
Ticket and Force Bill Right in 1t.
Following Mr. Flowers speech came the
reading by Secretary McGoldrick of the
list of Vice Presidents and Secretaries, and
then the unanimous adoption of resolutions,
which, after indorsing Cleveland and Ste
venson and condemning the torce bill, say:
To our brethren throughout the country
we pledge such decisive majority in this
city for the Democratic candidate as will
secure the electoral vote of this State for |
Cleveland ana 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 ana onerous burdens imposed
lpon them by Republican class legislation.
Governor Flower next introduced Sem
itor David b. Hill. At the mention of
he ex-Governor's name there was another
.reat outburst of cheers. The name of
Hill, "Hill," was shouted time after
ime. 1t spread to the street and was
AIKEN up by the multitude and only died
WAY when the people became exhausted.
The Senator awaited patiently for the res
oration of order and then began his
peech. He said:
This occasion is the first time have had

lew York in this ancient and honored
emple of Democracy. i am not unmindful
4 the fact that the Democrats Of Tammany
Iall were among my stanchest supporters

ampaign of 1855. through the great contest

uspices OF the magnificent organization of

nown no such word as defeat and to which |
IL eyes are now turned, and upon which our
opes are now centered.
Still Singing the Same Old Song.
Mr.. Hill then turned his attention to the
riff, and made an exhaustive argument
yainst the constitutionality of Republican
rejection. He continued:
i suggest to our opponents that their bill |
lould decIare upon its face something like |
IFS: Whereas, No more revenue than is

Mr. Hill contended that the Chicago plat

tes for the ticket.
