claim OF thousands OF loyal braves The Demo.
cratic society made known tonight that il was
loyal to the Democratic nominees. The bell OF
big Tammany hall shook and rocked aud
swayed to welcome Senator Hill, while the
throng in the open air overfowed the stands,
filed the streets and parayzed traffic for blocks
around. The Tammauy leaders declared it was
the most gigantic mass meeting the metropolis
OF America has ever seen. When the doors
were thrown open at o clock the throng that
had stood clamoring for two hours rushed in,
and in few minutes the building was packed,
yet there seemed slight diminution in the
crowd On the outside. Then came a wal, for
al hour. National Chairman Harrity, accom-
panied by National Committeeman Dickinson
and Smalley and many other prominent Demo-
Gratis then came. The applause that greeted
them had scarcely died away when hurricane
of cheers went forth as a welcome to the spesker
OF the evening, who came upon the stage. Gov.
Flower was introduced As chairman, ana for
several minutes was unable to speak, owing to
the deaiening burst OF cheers that went up
Finally lie obtained a hearing and spoke as
follows:
In opening. Flower spoke of the sympathy the
political opponents OF the president had ior him
in his bereavement. He said Democrats were
working for Democratic victory because they
believe that would bring better government and
better living for the masses. Though the Dem
another candidate than him whom the majority
OF the party wanted, it Loyalty submitted to the
wisdom OF that majority and throughout the en-
tire country no party machinery was doing
greater WORK for Democratic success than the
Democratic organization OF New York state. Re
ferring to the financial int rests of the conutry,
he said:
In business we have no confidence in an agent
who squanders our income and Is afterward de-
tected IN covering up his tracks by chang ng his
method oil BOOK keeping. That is exactly what
the Republican administration and Republican
congress has done. For years there has been
set aside in the treasury a fund for the re-
demption OF national bank notes. The govern
meut is bound to use It for that purrose, and
through the Cleveland administration and

Stevenson, for the promotion OF peace and good

emancipation of the industrial masses of this
country irom the restrictions and onerous bur
dens imposed upon them by Republican class
legislation.
Gov. Flower next introduced Senator Hill.
At the mention of the ex-governor & name ther,

In opening Hill referred to the suppor, he had
received from the Democracy OF the Empire
state during his political career. Continuing,
he said:
Today there is great reliance by INTELLIGENT
political observers for the success OF our ma
tional candidates in the state upon the immense
majority which Is expected TO be rolled NJ in
the city under the auspices Of that magnificent
rganizstion-Iammsny Hall. Those who be-

Hill then turned his attention TO the tariff and
made an exhaustive argument against the con-
stitutiouality OF Rcpu bllcan pr0tection He
then discussed the views OF Madison and Jack
son. and said OF the Democratic position:
We have not advocated and do not advocate
free trade, because the government needs reya-
Dues Tor support. and rather than resort To di =
rect taxation to secuie them, We layor duties
upon imports as the best and easiest means of
obtaining revenues. I'VE Genounce Renub-
