well what are You going to do about t?'
This was the impudcnt interrogatory offered
to the people Of NewYork City more than a
score Of years ago by "A conspicuous ana rather
notorious political thief His name was Will
lam NJ Tweed. and he died in the county Jail.
That was the answer by the citizens of New
York CITY.
Last evening on the platform OF Cooper
Union Hall. stood man who had voiced that
answer by the citizens Of New-York. His name is
Wheeler II. Peckham. an honored citizen and
a member Of the same Democratic party TO
which William NJ. Tweed belonged. and the
most prominent advocate Of the people in the
trial against the famous Tammany chief
In his position as president of the Bar Asso-
citation of New-York City. Mr.. Peckham asked
last evening beforo large audience almost
dentically the same question with respect to
the candidacy of Isaac II. Maynard tor the Of
Ace Of Judge Of the Court Of Appeals. What
are you going to do about it?" was the question
which issued from the mouths Of many con-
spicuous Democrats besides.
The meeting was not partisan in its charac-
ter save that those who participated in 1t were
representative men of the Democratic party all
Joining together in denunclatlon OF the NOM
nation of bad man of their own political
faith for a high judicial office. Every man
who made address spoke In general accord
With the man who had preceded him. ana all
spoke with evident sincerity. They seemed
TO say by common consent with respect TO
Isaac H. Maynard, Put in every honest hand
4 whip TO lash the rascal naked through the
world" and they seemed to go even beyond
this in Shakespcarian expressiveness and to
add:
"Oh. for a stone to hit him in the eye.' And
they hit him in the eye at every shot.
THE ,ruIExcE THOROUGHLY IL EARNEST
II Is reasonable to say that no audience with
in the period Of twenty years has assembled
under the roof OF Cooper Union Hall more
thoroughly Interested in the work II had in hand
than that which early assembled in that historic
auditorium last evening. Captain Doherty. the
successor Of Captain McCuilagh. had twenty
eight policemen on hand for any emergency.
and Inspector Williams was there 10 look after
things generally. Barring the arrest OF PICK
pocket or two. there was no need OF their SER
vices but their presence added much to the
orderly cohducting OF affairs In the seating of
the vast crowd which responded to the call or
tho committee from the Bar Association.
4 quarter before s o'clock every scat was oc-
cup,cd and crowds were swelling around the
doorways unable to gain admission. Packed

stood and beyond the entrances to the hall
we're groups OF men who almost cursed them
selves because they had not reached the scene
fow mor.rnts earlier There was no room
here for Democratic sneers because of short
or small attendance: for the representatives OF
Democratic newspapers thcmscvc; were almost
shorn of their rghtful opportunities by reason
Of the presence of the mass which thrcnScd the
