With whoops and cheers and cries OF victory
the Republican campaign In this city was opened
last night. Cooper Union, jammed to the very
walls with crowd beside itself with enthusi-
asm, surrounded by hundreds who could not get
in, but who were stil unwilling to go without
paying tribute to Gen. Ben jamin F. Tracy, tho
Republican standard bearer, was sight that
checrcd the sturdy leader and more than salts
lied the Republican warriors. II was bigger
meeting and more than rivaled in enthusiasm
the George meeting OF Tuesday night, and 10
swept entirely GU. of sight the later one
for Seth Low. The first meeting of tho
Republican campaign, it was the greatest Of tho
mass meetings held so far. and this in spite Of
most wretchcd management, which jammcd
the hall at o'clock and kept the crowd waiting
until halfpast before the meeting was begun.
The crowd had come full of patriotism and it
| couldn't be tired out. In the hour and a half
with nothing but one brass band to amuso
it, it stuck, and not soul went away.
Now AMI then it diverted itself with
cheers for Gen. Tracy, whose picture hung
over the platform, surrounded by the Stars and
stripes; again 1t yelled for speeches from Lemuel
| Ely QuigG. the Republican leader: from w. VI.
X. Olcott, the candidate for District Attorney,
! from Judge Allison. the candidate for supreme
| Court Justice, and from other men whose faces
| could be seen upon the platform. When United
| states Senator Joseph Benson Foraker arrived,
! Just before o'clock. he got reception that
must have reminded him of q genera! Ohio
whoop-up in politics.
Gen. Tracy arrived at the ha II at about quar-
| tcr-past o'clock. He had almos, to fight his
way in. and ii the police hadn't helped him he
might not have got there at all. so iammed to-
| gcther was the crowd As il was he did not
reach the platform until Edward Mitchell, for
mer United States District Attorney. had begun
| his address introducing Senator Foraker.
MIR. Mitchell had just mentioned senator
| Foraker name when Gen. Tracy appeared. In
stantly the vast audience on its feet. shout

| and handkcrChcts. As he stepped for
| ward. Senator Foraker arose and graspei his
hand. Gen. Tracy bowed his acknowledgements
TO the cheering crowd and then greeted those
upon the platform. 1t was more than a minute
before there was quiet sufficient for Mr.. Mitchell
| to make himself heard He said:
