4 GREAT REPUBLICAN MEETING.

The rally at Cooper Union last evening can
not fail to crafty and encourage the Repub-
LEANS not only of this metropolis, but of the
entire State and country. For it was splen-
did demonstration. and no mistake. Veteran
politicians declared that it was the Biggest ana
most spirited political meeting held in that
great hall since the war. 1t certainly rahked
with the most impressive, as regards NUMBERS,
enthusiasm and the effective presentation OF
decisive campaign issues, and it most emphat-
cally atteSted, not only the strength ana az
oressive energy. but the essential unity of the
Republicans of New-York Senator lliscock,
who had expected to be present, was not able
TO attend, but the other three members OF the
"Big Four were on hand. and all were heard
from-a consideration which is sure to distress
our opponents-while there was a great turning
ont of other honored leaders and of the rank
and file. The speakers were at their best the
immense audience was thoroughly responsive
and it was impossible not to feel, in view OF the
many hard, significant facts which were mus
submitted to popular observation and popular
Judgment. that this was gathering of the SIDE
which was going to win because 1t fully de-
served TO win.
On another page we give full report OF the
proceedings to which we invite the thoughtful
attention of all our readers who were unable 10
attend the meeting. That the Republican party
is and always has been entitled TO the conf
dence of the people, that Republican success IN
November would preserve and promote the
common welfare that the Democratic party Is
unworthy of trust by reason both of its record
artc o.
monstrated to the satisfaction of vast and
intelligent and patriotic audience. Ex-senator
Plat, who presided, made clear, cogent
speech. in which he touched upon all the I'M
portant issues involved in the canvass with
characteristic sagacity and force. Warner
Miller. who delivered the principal address OF
the evening, reviewed the history and tendency
of the two parties in relation to Protection, ana
submitted a mastery defence of that economic
system against the attacks of the Free Traders.
His arraignment of the Democratic party for its
proposition to revive wildcat currency was as
sharp as it was well deserved. Mr.. Miller's
speech covered every point which is being con-
tested made most excellent impression. ana
cannot fail to do great good. Mr.. Dcpew, who
made the concluding speech, was as keen a
Damascus blade-it's way he has. His eluclda-
ton of the point that the Democratic party
is always in the objective case was in his
happiest and most effective vein, while moth
ing could have been better in its way than what
he had to say concerning his eulogy OF Mr..
Cleveland, which the Democratic Committee
are circulating by the millions-and which he
never made The speeches were admirably
supplemented by the compact and forceful reso-
buttons which we're read by Mr.. Elhu Root.
1t was a great meeting and il cannot fail to
produce a great effect. 1t will stimulate the
canvass from one end Of the State to the other.
It will convince the Republicans above the
Harlem River that if they do their whole duty
they can depend upon their brethren below the
Harlem TO do theirs.
