& When Leader John c. Sheehan of Tam
lany Issued an invitation to the general
*ublio 70 be present at the out of door
gatherings, he probably little expected the
81 ast crowds that made two-thirds OF I'm
s n square, two blocks of Fourteenth
81 rect In front Of Tammany hall, the plaza
nd Fourth avenue absolutely impossible.
s. t an early hour Tammany hall was
B lmmed to the doors, and the police were
restling with the thousands outside who
ere demanding admission, which, when
4 hey did not get it, drove them to the
arious stands erected at vantage points
# #ithin the space of six blocks Of Tam
s any hall. The small army Of policemen
ught and struggled with the crowd TO
eep the streets open for traffic, but they
pom gave It up and allowed them to stand
nssed In front OF the stands. The police
no escorted Mr.. Bryan through the lines
ad to fight like tigers the people refus-
2 to move even when the horses almost
ampled upon them. But Jupiter Plnvius,
no had threatened moisture all day but
g no 1t was hoped would defer his vista
on, took the place of the police force in
ispersing the crowd.
Soon after Mr. Bryan entered Tammany
& all driving rainstorm started, and 1t
Tas not long before at least half the
Il rowd had sought shelter. Many Of them
rent home, but many others sought near
" shelter, waiting for the candidate.
The Tammany Meeting.
Hon. J. W. Keller was presented as the
residing officer OF the meeting, and he
ccepted the place with a brief, but ring
nQ speech on what no regarded as the
wills OF the gold standard. The names of
IoKinley and Mark Hanna were greeted
nth a sibiiant storm as fierce as the en-
iusiastio outbursts which met that of
ryan.
When Mr. Keller had concluded, a set Of
Bsolutions were read and adopted with a
hoop. After declaring the answering
legiance of "the Democracy Of New
M ork city" TO Bryan and Sewall and
oicing the usual denunciation of gold
nd the corresponding adulation of silver

Mr.. Brynn Compliments Tammany.
After the reading and adoption of Il
osolutions Messrs. Bryan and Sewall wei
soorted to the platform amid wilde
'< heering and the waving of banners, ha
nd handkerchiefs. The audience san
