New york Oct. 1s.--(special. )-The ,erocratic rnass meeting, under the auupices of three of the leading Dem ocratfc club organizations of New York in Madison Square Garden was last night a grand spectacle of ani- mated and enthusiastic humanity.
 Fireworks and band music in cof1sec- utiye order and in inspiring profusion were the prelude to the gathering of fhe multitudes. Over an hour before the speakers appeared the great audi euce place was packed with persons and an immense cordon of police was there to regulate and direct move ments, to say nothing of hundreds of ushers.
 It was . vast, but remarkable order iy multitude. Perhaps IS per cent fashionably attired. Several bands clsverly discoursed popular airs the most cheered of which was Dixie. When the speakers appeared there was a great uproar. Mayor George B. Mcclellan, named as presiding ofFicer, performed his functions most admir- ably. He was in excellent fettle. His voice was strong and resonant. And he appeared to have the confidence and admiration of the great audience. He surely deserved 1t. His brief SpceCu WdB dS DcHIOCIdttC anu Nt6OA- ous as any we ever heard in our South. patriotic for the whole country and in every part apt and feelingiy delivered. His introductions were clever and ap-. propriate.
 New York's candidate for Governor. D-Cady Herrick, made a fine impress sion and aroused great enthusiasm. There were thousands in the big crowd who had never seen Judge Herrick. They were curiously silent for some time after he began to speak. He was evidently a bit embarrassed by the great crowd. but as he went on, with the encouragement of close attention. he warmed to his subject and when he concluded he had deeply impressed and stirred his audience.
 There were constant calls for Bourke Cochran, but on account of O sore throat he was compelled not to try to speak.
 Following Judge Herrick came Sem ator William T. Stone of Missouri. Senator Stone well pleased the big crowd, especially when he told them that as a personal friend of William !. Bryan from the Bryan State of Mis- souri, he assured them that Missouri would give a great majority for Par ker. He drew a fine antithetical par allel between Roosevelt and Parker without mentioning names. but which the audience promptly recognized.
 Martin w. Littleton, President of Brooklyn Borough, well known as an eloquent speaker, surpassed himself. He was especially happy In a picture of the strenuous dreams in the brain of Roosevelt's ambition to regulate the world with big stick, and contrasting that with the higher courage, moral courage, of maintaining peace, law and order at home. Blood and thunder. big army and navy to fight our battles abroad, contrasted with the triumph of commercial and culture and practi- cal education SO common that any where in the land children could be heard singing the songs of peace.
 Ex-Congressman Lamb os Indiana, who followed, captivated the crowd at once by saying that he came from the state which in 1876 was the one lone star of the West for Democracy which helped to elect Samuel J. Tilden. In 1884 and 1892 1t voted for Cleveland. he said, and would in 1904 stand with New York to elect Alton B. Parker.
