Great wigwam.

Great wigwsm.
New YORK, Nov. 3.-The announcement
that Tammany Hall would hold another
mass-meeting to. night to ratify the nomina-
tions of Cleveland and Stevenson attracted
an immense throng Of people TO the vicinity
OF the Wigwam. The same scenes as wit
messed al Tammany's meeting of last week
were repeated this evening. Before Z
o'clock the people began to gather. and be-
fore the speaking began the blocks from
Third to Fourth avenues and from Four
toenth TO Fifteenth streets were blocked
with people. The streets were ablaze with
gas, electricity and freworkc. Practically
there were ten meetings going on at once
Senators Eusti5 and Carlisle were the prin-
cipal speakers at the main meeting. James
j. ODunOhue, as chairman, opened the
meeting with brief speech.
A letter was READ from Senator German
of MaTyla TO Richard Croker. The Sena-
tor expressed regret at his inability TO be
present at the meeting, but says be cannot
psrmit the occasion TO pass without saying
That tile completeness Of your union and
the manly and eloquent utteranees of SenA-
tor Hill. and your efforts and enthusiasm,
have made 1t absolutely certain that the
electoral vote of New York viii be cast for
the nominees Of the Democratic party. The
Democrats in other States. heretofore con-
sidered doubtful, have taken courage from
your example and will show on the day of
election that they have learned from you
how TO achieve victory.
The people OF this country who live by
the labor of their hands and brains and
whose only power consists In the Use OF
free ballot will not be oyerpowered by the
methods praetieed at the polls by the bene-
hciaries OF any system of legislation. They
will overthrow the party which created
that SYSTEM. They will, in a spirit of per-
feet fairness, modify the system itself until
the greatest good to the greatest number is
secured, and will drive the bribers and
their candidates from the field of politics."
In conclusion German says: The peo-
pie are turning to Grover Cleveland In such
numbers that all the wealth controlled by
the members of the Republican party can
not, / believe, alter the result, if you and
and all earnest Democrats give ourselves
up from now until the close of the day of
election to the support of the candidates
Of the great Democratic party"
Senator Eustis was then introduced and
spoke for some time. 1.-The evidence is un-
mistakable," said he, that the Democratic
masses are determined to win this fight"
Regarding the Mckinley bill, the speaker
called it measure devised 10 aid the Re-
publican party to perpetuate Itself in power
by providing Itself with a gigantic cOTTup-
tion fund to be drawn from the protected
manufacturers. The man who denounced
il most scathngly when Ii was prepared
was James @. Blaine. Then reciprocity
was put on. The partyS policy became
reciprocity in the West, protection in the
East. Speaking of the force bill Senator
Eustis said it was impossible to de-
oSribe the alarm and excitement it created
in ffrS South. It's passage would enslave
the AmeHcan people anu dig the grave Of
American llSerty.
The next speaker was Senator Carlisle of
Kentucky. He was received with enthu-
elastic applause, and said the only question
now confronting the people was whether
the Presidency was to be purchased, and
whether the people were TO be bribed with
their own money. The question of taxa.
ton, he said, was the most important
that could be submitted to the peo-
pie. The speaker hal no prejudice
against those engaged in tie protected
industries. They were men who contrib
uted largely to the growth OF the country.
He wanted to see them succeed, but be
wanted them to succeed on their own
merits and not at the expense of the other
members OF the community. He thought
that Major Mckinley should not trifle with
statistics, but should continue fighting wild
cat banks. After a discussion of the force
bin from a Democratic standpoint Carlisle
closed with eulogy of the Democratic can
ddates. A. W. Hamm Of Georgia followed
in a discourse puDctuated with stories and
anecdotes. Congressman Dewitt Warner
and other speakers addressed the variOu:
