A great mass-meeting was held at
Tammany Hall, New York, last night
Several adjoining halls were filled and
the crowds outside were addressed
from stands. Gov. Flower presided in
the main hall, where Senator Hill was
the chief speaker Lieut.-Gov. Shee-
han, Gen Sickles, Bourke Cochran and
others also spoke. Twenty thousand
persons were present at the demonstra-
ton. Senator Hill said personal dis
appointments should find no place i'll
the minds of democrats in the present
fight. Those who, because Of personal
disappointments, or because candidates
of their particular choice have not been
nominated, would encourage the tenn
porary defeat of their party, usually
live to regret their action and to realize
how difficult it is for that party to re-
gain the ground that has been unwisely
and foolishly lost. EX-President Cleve-
land,n be said, needs no eulogy at my
hands. His life and public services are
familiar to the people. His administers
tion-dign.fed, honest and able-has
safely withstood the popular criticism;
has passed into history and reflected
credit upon the country, His re-elec-
ton will not only be 4 personal triumph,
but it will also be the vindication of our
principles and the triumph of the DEM
ocratic party" The Senator compli-
mented the Tammany Hall democracy,
attacked the constitutionality of the
high tariff laws, and denounced the
Davenport force bill, which, he said, is
the issue of the campaign. The meet
ing was the greatest mass meeting ever
seen in New York city. There were Is
stands and $50 speakers. The State
was pledged by Tammany as solid for
Cleveland and Stevenson, with ma
iority that will astonish the country.
