society oI New York gave grand man
Hesitation of its political activity to-
night which stood sponser for the DEM
onstratIon of the campaign. The rally
occurred In and around Tammany hall
and Was successful beyond the most
sAngulne expectation. 1t WAS the sec
ond and last days demonstration of
the Tammanyites. The frst MAS sue
eessful enough for any ordinary poll.i-
cal organ nization-the big hall crowded
To the doors has an overfiowing meet
ing On Fourteenth street that required
eight stands Of speakers to attend the
erowd-but Tammany's chief Was not
satisfied. lie wanted something better
and tonighrs unique demonstration
Was the result
Tie arrangements were made to get
Attractions like Governor Russell, Sea-
ator Gorman anc W. j. Hamm. the
Georgian story teller, TO talk inside the
hail. and dozen stands were erected
from Third avenue up Fourteenth
street and across Union square TO Fifth
avenue Ine result Was mammoth
celebration IN support or Cleveland
and Stevenson such IS has not been
seen IN New York before.
Music, singing, The SIZZLING of rockets,
the general enthusiasm and the i'm
mense crowd formed a scene which is
rarely seen The big hail inside was
appropriately decorated. Tammany's
cnIeftsin stood IN the foreground of a
feir landscape. At his feet crouched q
tiger, the head and shoulders of which
peered from the medallion having Ste-
venson's counterfeit presentment; on
each sIde OF the two medallons were
painted black.
Precisely Al O'Clock Senator Rosech
led the platform delegation and great
wave OF cheering surged out into the
street. With Senator Rusech were
most OF the vice presidents and secre-
tares OF the meeting. He called the
meeting 10 order. Without any re-
marks ne introduced the Hon. Joseph
j. ODonougn AS the chairman of the
meeting. Mr.. O'Donough got y two

speech OF thanks. A letter from Sena.
tor German Was then read, regrettng

senator Eustis of Louisiana was intro
duced ss the first speaker, and spoke
for An hour.
Cariisic Wanted Power.
Senator John G.. Carlisle was an
nounced ss the next speaker. He was
chcersd and cheered again. He said
| wish It were IN my power to make
something Of an adequate return for
this friendly demonstration, but,
uGder the circumstances, 1 must be
content with submitting to you a very
few remarks. In fact ii seems to me
that the time for argument is almost
passed, and that almost the only ques-
ton now remaining or the decision of
the people Is whether the presidency OF
the United States can be purchased
with money and whether the people
can be bought with their own money
wrang frOm them by unjust taxation.
The question of taxation IS the most
important that eau be submitted to any
people because IL effects the material
interest of every man, woman and
child IN the whole country.
The power to tax the public for the
purpose OF raising money tn defray
the expenses of the administration Is
necessary IN every government, ne
matter what the form may be. The
question between the two great poiit-
lcsi parties IN this campaign is not a
60 the existence of the power, but a.
TO the extent and the purpose for
which II may be exercised. The demo.
crate party contends that the great
power under which all the earnings
and all the property of the people are
subject 10 the democrats of the govern.
ment shall be exercised only for the
purposes of raising revenue for the use
OF the government aud not for tie pur-
pose OF raising revenue for private In
dividuals." He concluded With MS
speech on the Mckinley bill.
Ham Told stories.
The Hon. W. III. J. Ham Of Georgia.
the next speaker, had been preceded
by high reputation as humorist
and great things in the way of laughter
provoking stories were expected from
him. lie did not dissppoint the huge
crowd. From the time he began n
speak until bis last word the Big hal
was psndemonlum of merriment and
enthusiasm. MIR. Ham Is eallen the
"Story Telling Orator. To iustify
the designation be filled his speech
with a. many anecdotes and illustrs
tious az Tammany hall was full of dem
ocTats.
The Hon. John Dewitt Warner wa,
loudly ebeared. In the course of n:
remarks ne ssld; "The issue Is mo-
one of wildcat currency. Every re
publican, "a well ss every democrat
knows that the repeal Of the prohibi
ton against state banking may be
accompanied with every provlso with
any condition that any one may re
cure - make that currency a safe and
secure ore. Tnev know that II the
National banking system has any good
points they can also be engrsftsd on
the new svstem.'
He vas followed by Nr. star Hoy
Nicnol, who was loudly spplsuded
The nsxt speaker was Mr.. A. A. AIler
Of New York. who was the last speaker
of the evening. The majority OF thos.
