ANTI-HILL MEETING.
BROOKLYN, Feb. u. An anti-Hill
meeting was held at the Criterion Theater
tonight, and was largely attended. Au-
guStuS Healy opened the meeting. and
his scathing rebuke of Hill and his fol-
lowers was cheered at every point, and
there were repeated cheers for Grover
Cleveland.
Edward M. Sheppard, Chairman of the
| meeting, spoke in severe condemnation
OF the act Of the Hill men in calling such
an early convention. He was followed
by John Dewitt Warner, whose speech
was the principal one of the evening.
warner IfSJ dealt with the defeat of
Mills for the Speakership. He said Mills
was beaten by combination of those op-
posed to the management under which
the Democratic party had succeeded-of
which combination the New York State
Democratic organization, directed by Gov
ernor Hill, was the principal factor.
Whatever may have been the motives of
| others, Warner stated that in his opinion
HIPS plan, as stated in his Elmira
speech, was to call halt in tariff reform
and BRING free coinage to the front.
The people did right to protest against
mldWlnter convention. 1t was only the
last and crowning crime of a long series
that the present Democratic State organ
lzatlon had committed and he took it
that the meeting meant that the people
were not going merely to repudiate the
convention now called, but to give notice
that they would visit with political death
any man or organization that dares thus
TO force the name of the New York De-
mocracy. Warner was loudly applauded.
and resolutions We're then adopted in
line with those adopted at the New York
meeting last night, and continuing the
committee OF twenty-five who called this
meeting, and requesting them to enlarge
their number to one hundred, and take
such steps as they may deem wise to pro-
mote the purposes of the meeting.
