To rHE EDrTop OF TEE suN-Sir. I am re-
minded By ono Of the Political Notes which
appear In TIE SuN OF this morning. and In
which the point Is made that to David b. Hill
the Democrats OF this city will owe the over
throw OF John I. Davenport OF an incident
which may be worth relating:
The first political meeting which. ns hoy
ever attended was held In Tammnny Hall In
1872 to ratIfy the nomination OF Francis ker-
nan for Governor. In those days there wore
no soats In the body OF the hall-only In the
gallery Those who wishe to hear the speak
ers had. therefore. to romain standing, and. as
| only reached to about the shoulders ot most
OF the men present. they lot NE stand In tho
front rank. Aug istus Schell preside |. Mr.. Her-
nan. Col. Follows and Can't. Isaiah Rynders were
the chief speakers. There was another orator
besides these. Abram s. Hewitt Gen. Grant
was candidate for reilecti N. Things wore
run by the Republicans with a high hand. AM
John I. Davenport. under authority Of tho Fed
era Election law OF that date. was arresting
and imprisonipe Democrats in an arbitrary
lost or mislaii hi" nataraii.S lon paper. Jared
