ers-The Big Hall Packed to the
Doors, and the Streets Sur
rounding It Jammed.

New YORK. October 25.-Tammany has
ratified With the 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 II was
loyal to the Democratic nominees.
While vet the walls of big Tammany
Hall shook and rocked and swayed TO the
welcome of Senator Hill, and while yet
the throng about the twelve open-alr over
flow stands filled up the streets aud par
alvzed traffic for blocks around, Tammany
leaders declared that it was the most gl-
pantic mass meeting that the metropolis OF
America had ever seen.
When the doors were thrown open at
o'clock, the throng that had stood clamor-
ing ortwo hours at the entrance rushed in
TO the hall with cheers of enthusiasm. In
few minutes the building was packed.
National Chairman Harrlty accompanied
by National Committeeman Don Dickinson
and B. b. Smalley and other prominent
Democrats came into the hall. The ap,
plause that greeted them had scarcely died
away when the hurricane OF cheers went
forth TO welcome the speakers or the even
ing who came upon the stage escorted by
the leaders OF Tammany Hall. When quiet
was restored, State Senator George r.
Roesch, in a short speech introduced Gov.
Roswell =. Flower as chairman.
After a few informal remarks, in which
he spoke of the sympathy the political op-
ponents of President Harrison had Tor him
in his bereavement, the Governor said that
the Democrats were working for Demo
cratic victory, because they believed that
would bring better government ana a Det-
ter living for the masses.
The action of the Chicago convention
had nut the Democrats on their mettle. 1t
had practically oidded them to prove their
Democracy, and they were going TO do 1t.
Though the Democracy Of The Empire
State. through its regularly constituted
delegation, declared in favor of an
other candidate than him whom a majority
Of the party wanted, 1T had Loyalty
submitted 10 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 or the state
of New York.
No local political organization anywhere
was doing more for the Democratic cause
than the Tammany organization. The eX-
cellent local ticket headed by Thomas T.
Gilroy, a man whose honorable record in
the public service demonstrated his capaci-
w and ability for the mayoralty, would
strengthen the national ticket and encour-
age tue Democracy of the country.
"As to the Force bill," he concluded,
"when the Republican party has reached
that condition, where to insure political
SUPREMACY. il dares not TO trust the unin-
timidated honest vote Of the people, but
seeks to perpetuate It's power by deliberate
arbitrary subversion Of constitutional gov
ernment, it is time for Americans every
where to rise up TO strike the sceptre OF
power from these unworthy hands"
Following Mr. Flowers speech came the
reading by Secretary McGoldey of the list
of vice presidents and secretaries, and
then the unanimous adoption of resolutions,
and endorsing Cleveland and Stevenson
and condemning the Force bill.
Governor Flower next introduced Sena-
tor David B. Hill. At the mention Of the
ex-Governor's name there was another out
burst of cheers. The name of Hill"
"Hil," was shouted time after time. 1t
spread to the street and was taken up by
the multitude and only died away when
the people became exhausted The Sena-
tor awaited patiently for the restoration OF
order and then began his speech.
MIR. Hill said in part This occasion is
the first time have had the honor OF ad-
dressing the Democracy Of New York IN
this ancient and honored temple OF De
mocracy. | am not unmlndful of
the fact that the Democrats Of Tam
many Hall were among my staunchest
supporters during all the period from the
memorable campaign Of 1885, though the
great contest of 1888, in the Senatorial con-
test Of 1891 and to the last occasion when
the Democracy of the Empire State hon.
ored me with their confidence at Albany
and Chicago.
To-day the great reliance Of intelligent
political observers for the success of our
national candidate in this Slate is upon the
immense majority which is expected to be
rolled up in this city under the auspices of
the magnificent organization OF Tammany
Hall, which in recent years has known no
such word as defeat, and 10 which all eyes
are now turned and upon which our hopes
are centered.
Those who because Of personal disap-
pointments, or because candidates OF their
particular choice have not been nominated,
would encourage the temporary defeat of
their party usually live TO regret their ac-
tion and TO realize how difficult it is for
that party TO regain the ground that has
been uuwisely and foolishly lost.
I believe in healthy, strong and vigor-
ous partisanship. This does not mean the
manifestation of narrow, hide-bound or
selfish spirit.
Mr. Hill then turned his attention to
the tariff, and made an exhaustive argu-
ment against the constitutionality Of Re-
publican protection, and then discussed the
views of Madison and Jackson.
