were gathered 1900 people to hear their
protests against the 'snap convention"
and their reasons for the revolt
against the alleged bossism which
dictated and dominated. The assem- lage
included many ladies, some Republicans
and a few Hill Democrats. The meetisS
was practically of one mind, however, and
the only dissenting voice heard was raised
by semi inebriated individual, who was
promptly elected. Much enthusiasm was
shown, particularly at the trenchant satire
OF Frank II. Thornton, whose punRent ora
tory kindled the audience TO fever heat.

County Democratic club, new organiza-
ton formed by Cleveland men, called the
meeting to order and nominated Charles

ocratS; but we think Democracy stands for
something more than success in the game
where personal advantage is exalted above
principle and where organization is ex-
tOllsd as the end Of party effort.
and the means through which
the political conscience OF the
masses mani ests itself. More than ffty
thousand names of Democratic voters re-
siding IN the metropolis WILL without
doubt, signify their desire to be repre-
