To the many memorable political gatherings
that have already been held in this city thus
far in the campaign another was added last
night when under the auspices Of the Republican
County Committee a mass meeting was held IN
Carnegie Hall Additional importance was lent
to the meeting by the fact that it was the occa-
sion for the formal introduction TO a New-York
audience Of Congressman Frank s. Black. Re-
publcan candidate for Governor OF the state.
and OF Timothy L. Woodruff, the nominee OF the
party FOR Lieutenant Governor From the Top
most gallery 10 the floor the big auditorium was
filed With interested listeners, who had seized
upon every available seat somewhere before the
hour set for the opening Of the meeting
The hall itself has rarely worn as bright and as
insn,rine an appearance as It did last night The
American flag naturally entered largely into the
decorations but more than ordinary ingenuity
was dlspayed In the artistic designs into which
the flags were worked. The fronts OF the gar
leres were completely hidden by festoons ana de-
vices The walls of the stage were covered with
large banners and from point directly over the
head Of the chairman streamers OF red, white anu
blue radated to the sides Of the hall.
In the interval Of an hour or more tnat
elapsed between the opening OF the doors 70 the
beginning of the proceedings patriotic airs were
nlaved by a band. and the Diamond Quartet
sang topical songs that excited to the fullest ex-
tent the appreciation Of the audience. Arranged
on the stage also was q small contingent OIL the
Mckinley and Hobart Battery of the Hlll'h AS
sembly District. Arraycd in white CATERS wiz"
blue knickerbockers and white blouses, WIN 'he

ate notices and the portraits OF the lres'oeh''a'

tered the hall few minutes before O'CLOCK anu

again and again. and just as often they were re-
sponded 10 with the combined power OF some
three thousand people.
Mr. Woodruffs reception. vas equally co'oid''
while General Tracy. who was speaking wnen
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge made his way INTO
rho hall was compelled TO halt for some time IN
his address until the auditors paid one'r re-
spects to the visitor from Massachusetts.
Tai n
face the candidate for the Governorship OF New
York presented a veiitable embodiment OF intei-
Iectual ability and power. Although not pos
sessed Of a powerful voice. Mr. Black Is distihc'
and clear In his utterarces. and bis words rarely
failed to reach to the furthermost parts Oh 'he
hall. In a speech that lasted barely nalf an hour
ho succeeded in impressing upon his auditors the
fact that he was capable not only Of grasping the
no,en,,al factors of the situation. but or expound
iro the fullest meaning Of the issues that are now
bafore the people Straight from the snoulner'
with many an epgram and apt il.ustration' MT
Black attacked the fallacious arguments OF 'he
frce- silver advocates and was listened u
throughout with an earnest attention tna' Is
often more fattering than applause b'Ie"s'
Mr. Blacks first appearance before New ioiA
audience as the standa I'd bearer OF the Repubh-
cans Of this State was as successful as his most
ardent supporters could have wished.

WITH A FEELING OF HORROR.
The people read the Chicago platform with
feeling OF horror akin TO that which swept over
the country at the firing upon Fort Sumter. Then
Marty differences forgotten, and the patriotic
neople of the Union resolved that whatever else
might die the Nation should live Then the ap-
neal was to- arms TO preserve the Union. To-day
the appeal is TO reason. to patriotism and to the
