Ex-Gov. Hogg, of Texas, Makes
Speech at a Tammany OutpOur.
Ing Which Causes n SensatiOn.
New York, July 5.-The Fourth Of
July was celebrated here under glori-
Gus weather conditions, with much
noise, merry-making, profusion of
flags and, excursions and sports of all
kinds. 1t was stated that there were
more fireworks sold and more eXcur-
sion boats running than on any pre-
vious Independence day, and therefore
the police and fire departments expect
ed to have more than their usual
troubles. Tammany Hall celebrated
with formal exercises in the Wigwam.
Ex-Gov. Hogg's Sensation.
Ex-Gov. Hogg, of Texas, created sen.
sation by the manner in which he in
troduced the name of William j. Bryan
and the Chicago platform to the meet
ing, the mention of Mr.. Bryan's name
and reference to the Chicago platform
being received with tremendous APP
plause, which was long continued.
When Gov. Hogg arose he received q
hearty welcome, and he INDUCED in a
few remarks that seemed to please the
Tammany men immensely. Aftera few
moments, which he used in outlining
the well-established and time-worn
principles of democracy, Gov. Hogg be-
gan philippe which set the house in an
uproar. The applause began when he as
serted that next year the democratic
party would declare for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of sixteen to one. Men who had APP.
peared to be half asleep woke up with a
start and joined in the applause. When
the speaker promised plank in the
platform next year in which imperial
ism would be denounced the applause
broke forth anew. 1t was very evident
that these utterances were not only
astounding to the Tammany leaders,
but displeasing, and the displeasure be-
came more apparent when the speaker
exclaimed:
"In this great contest we want the aid
Of united Tammany-the greatest local po-
litical organization on earth. We want
you to close up ranks. to settle your local
differences,sif they exist, and to go arm in
arm with the stalwart bread-winners of
the south and west to victory next year.
under the leadership Of the chivalrous, the
dauntless, the matches great American,
William Jennings Bryan"

of the speaker, the audience was car.
