New Youxk, Oct. 25.—A large aud attentive audience listened at Cooper Institute this even- fug to addresses by Attorney-General Taft and by Murat Halsted, of the Cincinunati Commercial. The halls avd comnittec-rooms surrounding the great audience chamber were not us crowd- cd 08 on the evenings when Mr Bialne and Mr. Ingersoll spoke from the same platform, but when the eeting was called to order overy ecat wos occupled. Among thosepresent were Win, M. Evarts, Johu R. Porter, Noah Davis, Clarcnce A. Seward, Benfamin K. Phelps, Dorman B, Eston, A, J. Dittenhoefer, E. L, Taucher, Franels C. Barlow, Willlam 8, Opdyke, Thomas Hillhouse, Etlwooid E. Thorve, und Elliot. C. Cowdin. The Hon. E. W. Stoughton, President of the mecting, after hearty applause, referred to the State can- vass,and epoke In enthuslastic approval of tho Republican candidates, State and national. Ile concluded by presenting to the audlence Attor- ney-General Taft, who was very cordially re- ceived, Mr, Taft's mauncr was simple, snd his Janguage was clear and * forclble. Ile made no attempt to Iead his hearers into cnthusiasm for fiery declamation, but learty applause frequently fnterrupted his argument, and the attention of the nudience was complete and sympathetle. The subject of Southern vut- rages was treated dispnssionately, and fn a way to canvey information without arousing prejudlee. IIis discueslon of the question of Federal interference fu the Southern States wos listened to with the utmost futerest, and the conclusions of the speaker wers accepted and approved. At the conclusion of Mr. Taft's address the Chairman introduced Murat Halstead, at the mention of whose name the sudience broke out into hearty cheering, 1lis address sccured the entiro attention of all present, and the appiause cliclted by its most carnest passages bore wit- ness to the Interest with which it was followed. The main subject of Mr. Ilalatend’s address wus the Solid Bouth, and its relation to natjonal fn- terests, Mo dwelt upon the evils which would follow a Democratie vietory, and the possible ruin of the natlonal eredit in the effort to satfs- 1y the demands of the South, To the Western Amnclated Preas, New Yonk, Oct. 25.—~Tle announcement that Attorney-Geueral Taft and Murat Ialstead wonld speak to-uight at Cooper Unlon fllled the great Wl {n every part with an audience com- posed in the main of lawyers and most substan- tinl citfzens.
