NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Cooper Union was
crowded tonight when the reform Demo-
Gratis met to express their determination to
support Everett p. Wheeler their nominee
for Governor. Ex-Secretary Charles F.
Fairchild, who presided, made speech pre-
liminary to his introduction Of Mr.. Wheeler.
The latter said it needless for him to
say more than to thank his friends for the
evenings demonstration and to ask them to
stand shoulder to shoulder for the triumph
Of the cause Of Democratic principles on
election day. Wheeler H. Peckham made a
humorous speech, scoring Grant, whom he

The Hon. Carl SchtIrz was the speaker of
the evening. His address was listened to
with close attention and was frequently
punctuated with applause. He said, in part:

Tammany Hall is a nest of rapacious free

and Tammany are bound together by
natural ties. They are OF one flesh and

How ably he used this machine to UNDER
