Taronany Hall has small respect for anything

,sn,paisn came to an end practically on Satur-
dav night with the great outpouring IN the
Rowery and the East Side that hailed Colonel
Roosevelt as no candidate has ever been greeted
IN the Rowcry in recent years But Tammany
went on laboriously dragging out the faithful
regardless Of the fact tnat Sunday is not re-
earded in many quarters as an appropriate day
,or the business Of vote getting.
The managers Of the Democratic campaign
had arranged four big meetings for the even

DIVER PREsIDEs AT THE THALIA
The meeting last evening az the Thalia Thea
ire under the auspices Of the Patrick Diver
Association, was large and particularly NOISY
one Every speaker was interrupted continu-
auv. some Of the Interruptions coming from
those who approved Of his observations. while
others were from Republicans. Daniel ]. Rior-
dao the Democratic candidate for Congress
IN the With District opened the meeting and
introduced the chairman. Patrick Diver
The first speaker was Colonel Asa Bird Gardi-
ner. who made a long address, in which he re-
canitulated the arguments used by Democratic
sneakers throughout the campaign. He oe-
clared that money was stolen by the canal
Ring" al Albany in order to pay for the COL
onization Of voters from Pennsylvania at the
last election. Colonel Gardiner also said that
the Raines Liquor law took 100000 annually
from the pockets Of New-Yorkers, which went
10 pay taxes up the State. About the most en-
thusastic applause of the evening greeted the
sneakers remark: My friends. this money
my fair share Of the tax. too" Colonel Gardiner
remarked later on that Messrs. Choate and
Root were the descendants Of people who left
England for England's good
Senator Grady who was the next speaker,
confined his remarks almost entirely 10 the Elec-
tions bill. He said that Superintendent McCul-
laeh had declared that the bill was meant for
the tramps and buns Of the Bowery. Put Nc
Culagh to honest work" the Senator went on.
"and see how long it will be before e. . is him
self a bum n the Bowery. If the bill was
meant for the tramps and buns Of the Bowery.
then the Democratic party will make the cause
~ the tramps and buns its own" Great ap-
plause)
Dr. O'sullivan and others also spoke.
The theatrical managers who at the ex-
pense of much trouble and self advertising en-
sineered the Democratic meeting which
was held last night at Roster & Bials Music
Hall were badly repaid for their efforts by the
Tammany orators who appeared for this night
only In organizing the meeting the man
ayers had an eye TO personal advantage. They
looked for some assurance from the Tammany
speakers that If the Democratic ticket should
80 elected there would be practically no inter-
ference with the places Of amusement in this
city in enforcing laws which might affect the
music halls The following paragraph from
series Of resolutions passed was, in fact. sup
posed 70 supply the cue 10 those who took a
speaking part in the evenings performance:
We favor a liberal government which aims
. serve the convenience and secure the happl-
ress of the people and in this connection
direct particular attention to the fact that pop
ular amusements were never 50 improbable as
during the three years Of Republican reform
'ua IN our city. and that the prosperity attend
.3g such arnusernents to-day is due 10 the lib
nal policy pursued under the presen: Demo
cratic administration Of our city's affairs"
The purpose which tho managers hoped 70
serve is plainly inferred in the foregoing. and
they hoped that che spe.lbinders from Four
tsefth-st would e'large upon tho leauties Of
Unrestricted amucenents. But the stars OF
Tammanv Hall threw tnern down badly They
gagged" all through the piece. so TO speak.
They said not word o.. tie subject nearest the
thoughts % the managers Canals formed

speakers would branch of 10 the Force bil'

GRADY THE STAR PERFORMER
The main attraction Of the show was Senator
Grady who proved himself 10 be thoroughly at
home on a vaudeville stage. In the course of
his address Mr G-ady asserted that Judge Van
Wyck vas ALREADY practically elected The only
question was as 10 whether "A Democratic Legs
lafuYe could be returned. If the Democrats got
ma jority he promised that The Kaines Ia" ana
the Infamous Force bill" would be fep'al8'
