ENTHUSIASTIC AND CROWDED MAss-MEErrNG On

on PROTECTED CRIME.
II any one doubted the depth and strength
Of the movement which has arisen in support
of the Rev. DR.. Parkhurst in his crusade on
protected crime in this city, he had only to listen
to the words spoken and the roar after roar Of
applause which rolled in from the sea Of listeners
gathered at Cooper Union last night. The great
hall packed to the doors long before tho
hour for the opening of the massmeeting. And
it was not crowd of the floating elements which
always swirl and eddy about the oratorical ex-
position of any ephemeral sensation. 1t was
gathering of the best brain and sinew of the city,
gray-bearded men, clear-eyed young voters
smooth-shaven bankers and leaders in professional
circles, with sprinkling of earnest women
A large picture Of the late DR.. Howard Crosby
was hung at the back of the stage, framed by
the Stars and Stripes and the flag of the State
of New-York. A large American flag draped the
reading-desk behind which the speakers stood.
The stage was closely packed with chains, all OF
which filled with men whose faces and names
known to nearly every New-Yorker They
were some Of those who served vice-presidenta
of the meeting

From the moment the Rev. J. " IIallock arose
to call the meeting to order, till the last word
Of DR.. Parkhurs.s incsive siecch, the vast multi
tude gave each speaker the most eager attention,
and salvos of applause bursts Of laughter fol-
lowed close upon every forceful point or singing
witticism. There was just one Tammany heeler
in the congregation. At least there was only one
who had the bravadO to express his dissent from
any Of the statements and sentiments which were
uttered from the overcrowded platform. His re-
marks were ruled out of order by unanipkus
consent Loud cries of Put him ont greeted
every expression of dissent from the stray Tam
manyite, and he quickly subsidized
