William b. Hornblower the next speaker de-
clared that six years agO he had stood on the
platform Of Cooper Union and urged Lows cleo
tion Mayor two years ago. as a Democrat
he had still urged Lows election, and now ne
appeared again TO urge his reelection. Ihroush-
out that time he said he had been preaching

Judges of their consciences. ] cannot but admire
their agility OF mind. For myself, if consistency
be an evidence of intellectual weakness ! con-
fess to being guilty Of that weakness
MIR. Hornblower recalled that two years ago
that platform he had turned to Mr.. Low and
asked him il he pledged himself for non-parti-
san government. The speaker said the pledge
had been fulfilled.
We are anti-Tammany Democrats" said Mr..
HornbloWer. i shall give you three reasons
First we believe that the Democracy stands
for rule Of the people against the rule OF the
bosses We believe that true Democracy
stands for home rule in State and municipal
affairs divorced from national politics. Tam
many believes national politics can be thrust
into state and municipal AFFAIRS to the injury of
the city and the benefit OF Tammany Hall. We
believe that true Democracy stands for honest,
efficient and pure government. while Tammany
stands for dishonesty and corruption.

PETER B. oLNETs SPEECH.
peter b. Olney declared that the-Democrats
should support the fusion ticket. first. because
u was the only Democratic ticket in the field
rs no true Democratic city convention had been
held, and also because the fusion administra-
ton had been truly democratic. Mr.. Olney said
in part:
Fellow Democrats. what few things and what few
words have 10 say tonight l shah address
Fellow Democrats. one good reason why Democrats
IS that the only Democratic ticket in the field
The Tammany Han ticket is ticket by the boss,
not for the people The Democratic machine bor-
rows the livery Of the Democratic party TO serve
Tammany. just is said Of some people, they Dor
row the livery Of heaven in orGer to the devil
In the convention which nominated Mcclellan
there were about two hundred and twenty delegates
from Kings County. They protested against that
noInina ton, but before The convention and after
