.TAMMANY Is LOYAL.
Democracy Need Have No Fear
Of New York.
A GIGANTIC MASS MEETING.
The Largest Crowd Ever Assembled in the
etrOpOlis-Speeches by Governor
Flower and Senator Hill.

NEW Y DIRK, Oct. H0.-Iammany has rat
flied. With the glow and flash Of red fire
in the sky, with the roar of rousing cheers
and with the acclaim of thousands OF loyal
braves. the Democratic society has made
known tonight TINT it is loyal to the Demo-
cratic nominees. The bells Of big Tammany
hall shook and rocked and swsyed to the
welcome of Senator Hill, and while the
throng about in the open air and overflow
stands, filed the streets and paralyzed
traffic for blocks around, the Tammany
leaders declared that it was the most
gigantic mass meeting the metropolis of
America had ever seen.
When the doors were thrown open at z
pm. the throng that had stood clamori1g
for two hours rushed in, and ia a few
minutes the building was packed, yet there
seemed only 2 slight dImInutlon in the
crowd on the outside. Then came u wait
of an hour. National Chairman Harrity,
accompanied by National Committee
Dickinson and Smalley, and many other
prominent Democrats then made their aD-
pearance, and the applause that greeted
them had scarcely died away when a hur-
ricane OF cheers went forth as welcome
to the speakers OF the evening who came
upon the stage Governor Flower was in
minutes was unable to speak owing to the
deafening cheers. Finally he obtained q
hearing and spoke as follows:
In opening Governor Flower spoke Of
the sympathy political opponents of the
president has for MIN in mis- bereavement
He said Democrats were working for
Democratic victory because they believe
that would bring better government and
I better living for the masses. Though the
! Democracy of the empire state has de-
clared in favor of another candidate than
him whom the majority of the party
wanted. Ii Loyalty submitted 70 the Wis
dom Of that majority and throughout the
country no piece of the party machinery
was doing greater work for Democratic sue
cess than the Democratic organization Of
New York state.
| Referring to the financial interests of the
country he said: in business we have no
confidence in an agent who squanders our
income and afterwards attempts covering
up his track ny changing the method OF
bookkeeping. That is exactly what the
Repu blic8D administration and q RepuDli-
can Congress had done. For years there
| had been set aside in the treasury a fund
for the redemption of national bank notes.
The government was bound to use 1t for
that purpose and through the Cleveland
administration and through a portion OF
Harrison's administration IL was treated as
liability and reserve fund.-
when Cleveland went out Of Office it
amounted to about $50, 600, GOO and 1t now
amounts to about $25, 600, COO but it re-
Gently was transferred from the liability TO
the asset SIDE Of the treasury statement
and one of the largest sums which was ever
used to cover up an actual deficiency. II
the same system of bookkeeping with
which Harrison's administration began
was still used, there would De revealed an
actual deficit of over S46,0O0,000."

good, of course; IL temporarily stimulated
I certain industries and encouraged new
ones, but with that kind Of protection ac-
cording to the Democratic view, il was not
only unjust to the great body of consumers
but gave An artificial and unhealthy stimu-
lus TO such industries as it was designed 10
protect"
'sAs TO the force bill, he concluded. that
when the Republican party reached that
condition where to insure political So
premacy 1t dares not trust the unintimi-
dated, honest people but seeks to perpetu-
ate its deeds by a deliberate arbitrary
subversion of constitutional government 1t
was time for loyal Americans everywhere
J to rise up ana strike such power from these
unworthy hands.'
/ Following Flowers speech came the
unanimous adoption OF resolutions which
after endorsing Cleveland and Stevenson
and condemning the forcs bill said: 40
our brethren, throughout the country We
I pledge such g decisive majority in this city
Tor the Democratic candidates az will Sc
cure the electoral vote of this state for
Cleveland and Stevenson. For the promo
ton of peace and good will among sections,
and for the commercial emancipation Of
/ the industrial masses OF this country from
the restrictions and onerous burdens i'm
posed upon them by Republican class leg
islatlon."
/ Governor Flower then introduced SEN
ator Hill who spoke as follows:
| In opening Senator Hill referred to sup
port he received from Democracy of the
Empire state during his political career
and continuing he said today the great re-
lance OF the intelligent political observers
for the success OF our national candidates
/ in this state rested upon the immense ma
jori5y which it was expected would De
rolled up in The city of New York under
the auspices of that magnificent organiza-
ton of Tammany hall Those who, be-
cause of personal disappointment, would
encourage the temporary defeat OF the
party usually live TO regret their actiOn
and realize how difficult it is for the party
to regain the ground unwisely and foolishly
lost. ] believe in g healthy strong and
vigorous partisanship but not in mani
festation of narrow, hidebornd or selfish
spirit
The senator then turned his attention to
the tarlu ana maO6 III S4AGuSLlV0 aE4u-
msnt against the constirutionality of Re-
publican protection. He then discussed
the views of Madison and jackson and said
Of the Democratic question: I'VE have
not advocated and do not advocate free
trade because the government needs reve-
nues for its support, and rather than resort
TO direct taxation to secure them we favor
duties upon imports as the best ana easiest
method of obtaining revenues. We de-
nounce Republican protection as fraud,
as robbery of the great majority Of the
American people for the benefit of the few,
is the truthful but vigorous language in
the Democratic national platform. 1t will
be observed that it Is Republican protec-
ton thus denounced and not the mild pro-
lection Of our early history TO real infant
industri es. whenan excuse Tor 1t was more
defensible."
hepu ollcsn protection becomes worse and
more intoleraole as the years roll on. II
the Republican platform Of 1892 be con-
strued 10 mean exactly what 1t says, then
what becomes of the Mckinney law, which
ia not based on any sucn doclrinea In ons
esuect the situation looks az though shs
Republican party became frightened over
the operations OF the Mckinley law and
feared renewal Of tns popular verdict Of
1890 upon it and hence sought to retire
from the ultra position herstofore taken by
it. Our opponents are diligently seeking
to ALLEVIATE the la0oring people from tne
Democratic party. The Democratic party
is and always has been the true friend OF
labor Labor's interests are all tied up in
the welfare of the Democratic party and
will remain so as long as that party rec
mains faithful to its trust"
