NETWORK, Oct. ga grand democrat
ic ratification meeting was held at Tam
many hail to night. The wigwsm was dec
Grated and the street outside was ablaze
with red fire, while fireworks of various
descriptions added their part to the occa-
sion. In the main hall the boxes were
filled with prominent democrats and their
wives and daughters, and the platform was
crowded with a long list of vice presidents
Senator Hill was absent, being detained by
public business at Washington. Governor
Flower presided and in his opening ad
dress said:
"There is very important Issue in this
cam paisn-whether the people of New
York will declare for the repeal of the
Sherman law or against it, whether they
will sustain President Cleveland in his
financial policy or whether they will re-
buke him. We made Grover Cleveland
president year ago because We business
men wanted q strong man there to stand
up for an honest dollar, and we want to
show him that We are behind him and that
we endorse his administration. A repub-
licsn victory in New York this fall would
be herslded to the country as a rebuke to
the democratic administration. Let US
stand with the democratic party for an
honest dollar, for the protection of the
savings of its working people, for policy
which will not cut down the wages of en-
r1rpduca q manic that will clos
up all our factories"
Governor Flower gave Judge Maynard a
certificate of character. He said the move
ment to smirch the name of Judge May
nard had obtained impetus because the
opposition wanted one man on the court of
appeals on whom they can rely. All the
republicans On the court of appeals bench
had violated their oaths by not sarctioning

ment in 1891.
The first regular speaker was Congress
man Jason Brown of Indiana He said

| for the depression and consequent suffer
| ing, more legislation WAS chargable to the
| republican party which passed the Sher.
man act The bill for unconditional repea

passed the senate A great part of the
| credit for the victory, he averred, was due
to David B. Hill, to whom the administers
ton was largely indebted.
