Of red fire, with the roar and shock OF
cannon, and with the acclaims OF thous-
ands of loyal braves. the Tammany society
made known tonight that it WAS loyal to
the Democratic nominees. The Tammany
leaders declare that it was the most gigan-
tic mass meeting that the metropolis of
America has ever seen. The throng began
to gather at the doors of Tammany hall at
5 o'clock, and when the doors were opened
at O'clock the crowd jammed all the
thoroughfares in the vicinity. Many
prominent Democrats. including Don Nj.
Dickinson and Chairman Harrity, occu-
pied boxes. The appearance OF Senator
Hill and Governor Flower. the principal
speakers of the evening, was greeted with
thunders of applause.
Governor Flower was introduced as
chairman of the meeting. He attempted
several times to speak, but his words were
drowned by the crowd, which cheered him
again and again. After a few intro
ductorv remarks, in which he spoke of
the sympathy that the political opponents
of President Harrison had for him in his
bereavement, the governor gave an ac-
count of the honest harmony which pre-
vailed among the New York Democrats,
and predicted for them success at the cleo
ton. He arraigned the Republicans for
mismanagement of the treasury. scored
the Mckinley bill and Republican pro-

Messrs Cleveland Stevenson and danounc-
ing the force bill were adopted with
cheers.

Mr. Hill said that this occasion was not
the first time that he had had the honor Of
addressing the Democracy OF New York in
this ancient and honored temple of Dem

that the Democrats of Tammany hall
were among his staunchest friends.
Today the great reliance or intel
ligent political observers for the
success of the Democratic national
candidates in this state was, he said, the
immense majority which is expected to be
obtained in New York City under the
auspices OF the magnl nlficent organization Of
Tammany hall which in recent days has
known no such word rs defeat and upon
which all Democratic hopes are ceniered.
