It Gropped into tne reporter’s bands shortly before Hoon, and savored of quick work. “When was this Meeting held!’ was the first mental query.

The reporter accordingly entered the hotel ana found the barkeeper wreathed in smiles, fresh from the hairdresser’s hands, BARKEEVER—What will you take? REPORTER—I would like a little information.

The two latter ap- Poinsments proved invaluably useful. Two active barkeepers concocted drinks, two colorea citizens, in white linen coats, dispensed tbem, and the young braves drank the “fire water” with pure aboriginal relish. Each one had s cigar, which answered for the calumet of peace, ‘Three-quarters of an hour thus passed, with growing clinking of glasses, growing liveliness of talk and the atmosphere growing blue with smoke. In this Mme there was opportunity to take note of THE POLITICAL CELEBRITIES PRESENT, of whom Hon. John Morrissey stood forth boldly the head and front. Hon. John Fox, another member of Congress, was next prominently Conspicuous. Ranking next to these mem- bere of our national Legisiature were mem- bers. of our State Legislature, Senators Genet, Ureamer and Norton and Assemblymen Kier- nan, Irving, Carey, Flanagan, Cavanagh, Mitchell, Bergen, Fields and M. C. Murphy. Following next in order were Judges Koch. McCunn, Quinn, Fowler, Hogan, Shandiey, Porter, Uartman, McQuade, Bixby and ex-Judge Doage. Our municipal Council was represented by Aldermen McKnight, Larry O’Brien, Cregier, Haughton, Miller, Long, Moore, Murray and Barker and Assistant Aldermen Hof- man and Riley and Supervisors Hayes and Fox. The Street Commissioner's office was represented by Street Commissioner McLean and Shepherd Knapp; the Sheriff's office by Sheriff O'Brien and WYeputy Sheriff's O'Neill, Gostello, McKnight, Riley, Hanion and sillier; the Coroners’ oMce ny Coroner Flynn. Among the political high privates present the most conspicuous was Henry L. Clinton, There were fully Jour hundred in the room. The phrase young demo- cracy is not at all misapplied to the crowd. Very FEW OLD MEN Were present. Most of the assembled throng were in the prime of life and full of spirits—the spirits of the bar included and full of vim, and, ag the aubse- quent proceedings snowed, lacked no particle of ready and flerce deciamation. At length Senator Genet mounted a chair and, CALLING THE MEETING TO ORDER, moved the appointment as chairman of Senator Creamer. The motion was promptly seconded by @ dozen voices and carried by @ vociferous, Unanimous aMrmative vote. As the Senator Tose to assume direction of the meeting he was greeied with three rousing, lusty cheers, and at thelr termination there followed 4 BRIEF SPEECH BY SENATOR CREAMER, to which the assembled crowd, mounted on chairs and every gort of elevation that furnished an easy view of the speaker, Mstened with the most eager attention, intermingled with frequent tnterrup- tions of boisterous and prolonged applause. After thanking them in due modern pre- fatorial style for the distinguished and highly apprectated honor of calling him to preside over their deliberations, he spoke of the meeting as giving great encouragement to their legislators at Albany in prosecuting the ferce battis in which they were engaged. Withing thirty days the Legisiature might adjoura, aud with it the last chance to recover the righta etolen from them for years past. He coun- gelled no feeling of hostility to thelr enemtes, but cool and and deliberate action ana rellauce for vic- tory, to justice and the right. After he had con- cluded his apeech, which be did amid a terrific tu- mult of applause, OTHER OFFICERS OF THE MEETING Were chosen, Messrs, Henry L. Clinton and Shepherd Knapp being, op motion of Sherif O’Brien, appointed secretaries, and Assemblyman Flanagan Sergeant at-Arms. A motion was next made and carried compelling WITHDRAWAL FROM THE MEETING of all present, except members of the Tammany General Committee and members of the press, A lively stampede from the room followed on tue heels Of this motion, after which followed CALLING OF TH ROLL of all the members of the Geueral Committee. The result was spcedily announced showing the STRENGTH OF THE OPPOSING FACTIONS a6 follows:— Contending forces, Young democracy. Old democracy Numerical strength.

One particular person, he said, and he was a par- ticularly large person, too, sought to embody in hinueself the profits and emoluments of sev- eral large offices, an announcement that bronght down the house.
