GATHERING IN TAMMANY HALL
THE SAME NIGHT


In the days to come when the Democratic
machine in the city and in the State shall have
been swept from the face Of the earth. the mem-
DRY of all the good workers who helped in the
campaign of this year will go back to the STIR
ring meetings and thrilling scenes Of the fall Of
1894. The grand political mass-meeting held at
Music Hall Wednesday night. where thousands
and thousands Of people cheered and yelled
themselves hoarse in honor of exPresdent
and an ex-V.ce- Pi esiden VIII go down TO future
generations one Of the most remarkable po-
litica demonstrations of the times 1t was
meeting of great significance TO the Republican
party and to all lovers Of an upright State and
city administration. 1t showed in its strength
and might that the popular uprising against cor
rupton is even greater than the most sangu!ne
had hoped for 1t showed that the principles
OF the Republican party would prevail
again in the councils Of the Nation.
II is almost impossible to give description Of
that meeting which will convey an adequate idea
os the vast crowd which sought admission to the
hall, or the intense enthusiasm which prevailed.
As early o'clock the multitude began 10

a crowd composed of the rich ard the poor the
great and the low. All had come with the same
purpose. and all had tie same bubbling enthusi-

the Republican candidate for Governor. Levi p.
Morton. The doors in front Of the building and
those in the rear were surrounded, and the
minute they were opened the crowd swarmed
in so fast that it took Jess than fifteen minutes
to pack the big building Even then 1t seemed
on the outside if no one had gone in, for there
was no apparent dmnution in the number OF
people without. Police officers who nave long
been accustomed t. crowds said that never In
their experience had there been such political
outpouring. All the streets in the neighborhood
OF Music Hall filed with people all the
evening. Some thought tnat there might be 4
chance Of their getting inside the building. but
they met disappointment, and only heard the
prolonged cheering inside. The crowds OUTSIDE
were filled with the same enthusiasm as those
within. and they made rhat part Of tie c:ty re-
sound with their furious outbursts of appa

party. - -
The scene inside the building was one that win
live forever in the memory OF those who were
present Wher Harrison and Morton came upon
the stage they were received with a prod:gious
outburst of applause. The scene beggars desclp-

When Mr.. Morton was introduced tne ap-

a magnificent appeal for the Republican party
