extended toward the heart of the town.
The structure consists generally Of
wrought,iron plate girders of 50-foot

which are in turn firmly fastened to
large masses Of concrete like the founda-
ton of our American elevated railways.

a Three Hours Session with Chair
man Earrity and Others.
NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-The special COM
mittee of the anti-snapper New Y ork city
district organizations held a conference
lasting over three hours this evening
at the democratic national headquar-
ters, with Chairman harrity and Dick
inson, Smailey and Quincy. Az the
end of the session the following
statement was made at headquarters: "At
a conference of the committee appointed at
a meeting of the New York city district
organization, represented at the Syracuse
convention with subcommittee
of the democratic national com
mittee, the questions contained and
involved in the resolutions adopted by the
district organizations as to how the election
of Cleveland and Stevenson might best be
promoted, and as to how large q vote could
be polled in the city Of New York
for the democratic candidates, were
discussed, and large number of sugges-
tIons were made looking TO a thorough or
ganlzation of the voters of the city of New
York, together with such incidental demon
strations as might be necessary to
AROUSE, ENTHUsE AND STIMULATE
them toggreater activity. 1t was stated by
the chairman of the visiting committee that
the committee was not empowered to sub
init or discuss, but on the contrary. had
been expressly prohibited from formally
submitting or discussing with the national
committee the question Of independent local
nominations, but that the question was in,
formally talked Of"
1t was learned. however, that the ques-
tion Of nominating a third ticket occupied
nearly all the time of both committees. The
democratic committeeman could not be iu-
duced to give their consent to it, and the
anti-snep committee finally agreed TO ad-
journ further consultation on the matter
until they conferred with the district lead
ers of the organization on Friday evening.
The members Of the anti-snsp committee
looked worried after adjournment. The
question Of nominating a ticket against

adopts heroic measures at its meeting Fri

The Indepsndent adds: "We cannot
help saying that Morley has made
out a case for an autumn session of
parliament for immediate legislation more
than for commission Of inquiry, which
has become in ireland q euphemism for
shelving the question"
The Freemdn's Journal says: "Morley's
letter 10 Justin MCCARTHY shows that the
government Is honestly resolved to protect
evicted tenants from injustice. The evil
dence and report Of the commission will
dlssipate the combined calumny of the
coercionists and Recmondites that the
tenants combination is designed for purely
political purposes.
The report OF the commission will give a
tremendous impetus to legislation IN behalf
Of evicted tenants.

LONDON, Sept. 2S.-The proposed sslsc-
tion Of Stuart Knill, alderman for Bridge
within ward, who is next in rotation as the
lord mayor OF London, has aroused consid-
cradle opposition and discussion in view OF
the fact that Knill is a Roman Caths
olic and the lord mayor ia re-
quired TO attend certain religious
services of tho Anglican church and
TO have an Anglican chaplain. In response
10 inquiries made of him by Lord Mayor
Evans, Knill has written letter, In which
he says that In the event Of his election as
lord mayor he would have an Anglican
chaplain perform public duties. while his
private chaplain would be Catholic. Knill
adds that he would not attend the Augli-
can services personally, but he would ap-
point a substitute 20 represent him
at such services. Knill has gained
much sympathy by his frank replies to
the questions asked him by Lord Mayor
Evans. A majority Of the newspapers sup
port him for the position regarding the
opposition 20 him as a revival Of religious
1salousles quite out Of date. The oppo-
sltion, however, question the legality Of the
election OF Roman Catholic to the lord

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-The first repub-

Cooper Union, the third largest hall in the
city, but it could not accommodate
the crowd that sought admission The
hall was filled in ten minutes
not another person could have obtained a

number without vainly sought admission.
The speakers were Warner Miller, Thomas

Whitelaw Reid, after praising the adj

souls can ever be had without it. Then to have
the full republican vote registered, and then to
have it, in spite Of the Australian ballot
and other new difficulties fully cast and fairly
counted. If so, New York belongs TO US, for
you will not forget that our opponents have
carried the state for q presidential candidate
but three times in thirty six years. AT the very
outset in 1856, John c. Fremont took away the
electoral vote of New York from James
buchanan by plurality of $4,000.
Never, from that day to this, have
the democrats been able 70 regain
these electoral votes, save where they had a
popular leader of this state as their candidate
with united party behind him. Such leader,
as all the world knows, was
Horatio Seymour. and such united and
enthusiastic following he always had;
such a leader was Samuel J. Tilden, such an
other Grover Cleveland was thought 70 be when
his party first nominated him for President.
Yet Cleveland carried the state the first time by
