Mr. Lester Wallack reappeared at his own theatre last night, alter two years’ absence from the boards where he attained his great reputation as ap actor, and he again not only illustrated the | rare merit of his art, but proved conclusively that he is the only living representative of that school of comedy which we are accustomed to call “old.” English manners of the last cen- tury are a tradition with the American people, through the influence of the American stage. Wallack’s Theatre especially has preserved to us the old school of art; indeed, we may say it is the only theatre, either in this country or in England, where the old methods of acting may be studied or enjoyed. When we find Mr. John S. Clarke playing “The Rivals” at Charing Cross for over 300 nights we think we may say that old comedy, a8 old comedy in art, is in decay in England. Last night’s representation at Wallack’s shows that, whatever may be its condition in the country of its birth, the best specimens of the English art of the last century are to be found in America to-day. This, we know, is claiming & great deal, but we think we are justified in going further and saying that Mr. Lester Wallack is the only actor Itving who can faithfully portray the i274, Fen tenes of Goldsmith's day, and that r, John Gilbert is not only the best “old man” of the si bi the sole “old men” of the last eneration, In the last two or three years we ave seen excellent representations of the old comedies—that is, excellent in themselves and considered from @ modern standpoint; but they were not “old comedy,” and, failing in this, they fallea in the highest requirements of art. It is this requirement which Mr. Wallack fills exactly, and tn his success last night, as Young Marlow, we see the fulfilment of the prediction we made early in the season—nainely, that his reappearance would be the dramatic event of the year. ‘The three finest comedies in the language are undoubtedly Shakespegre’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing,” ‘Sheridan's “School sa and Goldsmith’s “She Stoops to Conquer,” The last named pier bas always been an especial favorite with a New York audience, In the old and pros- perous days of the little theatre in Chambers Street, as all old theatre goers will remem- ber, the cast included Burton, Lester Wal- lack, Blake, Jordan, Mrs. Hughes and Mrs.’ Skerrett. At Wallack’s, tne old theatre corner of Broome street and Broadway, Lester Wallack, Blake, Walcot, Reynolds, Mrs. Blake, Laura Keene and subsequently Mrs. Hoey played the leading parts. At Wallack’s, the present theatre, Lester Wallack, Blake, John Gilbert, Mrs, Vernon, Mra. Hoey, George Holland, Reynolds and Mary Gapnon have at various times contributed their artistic powers to retain the popularity of this sterling play. It will thus be seen for how many years and with how many admirable artists Mr. Wallack has played the part in which he ap- eared last night, as we have already indicated— hat of Young Marlow in Goldsmith’s comedy, Comedy, in the olden time always less attrac- tive than tragedy, first assumed real importance and attractiveness on the production of ‘She Stoops to Conquer,” and that work was the fore- runner of the host of successful plays which were added to dramatic literature by Sheridan, the Cole- mans, Holcroft, O'Keefe, the Mortons and others. ‘That a play may be “legitimate” without being te- dious, and that a wholesome tone of sentiment may run through tt without ever becoming ‘‘preachy,”’ is fully proved by the constant succession of fun and interest which alternately sparkle and captivate through the five acts of this play. Familiar as the comedy is to the readers of English literature, as well as to the frequenters of the theatre, it was as full of sparkle and freshness last night asif pro- duced for the first time, and we have rarely seen more merriment in a place of amusement. We need scarcely enter into any lengthened criticism of Mr. Wallack’s acting as Young Marlow, though we cannot failto acknowledge the extreme pleasure afforded by the excellence of his art. A ittle later in the season, when he has appeared in serious drama, melodrama, Eby new as well as old comedy, we shall 6 lon not only of con- trasting the versatility of his talents, but his abso- lute perfection in the widely different rdles he has been constantly in the habit of pla j= ing. Nor need we dwell partic ly upon Mr, John Gilbert’s rendition or Mr. Hardcastle. It isthe same old character—strong a8 in Mr. Gilbert's: younger days—with which our readers are familiar. Miss Katherine Rogers played Miss Hardcastle intelligently, and some- times excellently, but not evenly, and with much room for improvement, The improvement, we doubt not, willcome as she grows familiar with the rather stiff manners of old comedy. Mme. Ponisi took the part of Mrs. Hardcastle. Besides these, the only character which calls for any remark was Mr. Harry Beckett’s Tony Lumpkin. His playing of the part must have been @ surprise to his audience, as it was tous, There is more mellowness in bis acting than his previous performances seemed to promise, and his facial art was full of expression. It was, of course, far from being as perfect an impersonation as has been seen on the New York stage, but though the actor was Bot as funny 88 Ue might have been, he exhibited e rare me) not being pretenti ‘rné play wi shave a bon run, ang tis to be fol- lowed by the late Mr. Robertson’s “Ours,” in which Mr, lack appears as Hugh Chalcot. Thus, it will he seen, the old and the new comedy, in which the distinguished actor is equally excellent, will follow each other in rapid succession, and the season at Wallack’s cannot fail to be as bi it as any that have preceded it. Italian Opera—“Don Giovanni” at the Academy. Mozart's great work, “Don Juan,” was given for the second time this season at the Academy of Music last evening. The cast was precisely the same as on the first night of production, but there was considerable improvement in everything except Leporello and the mise en scéne, The latter suffered badly from an attempt to improve it, The scene to which Leporelio, disguised as Don Juan, leads Donna Elvira, and where Don Ottavio and Massetto are about to murder him in mistake for his master, was set last night in a wild mountain district of the Yellowstone Park instead of in an Imner court of a Spanish castle. It was painful to see Mme. Nilsson and Signor Nannetti go groping about among the trees looking for a door, In the last act the demons were introduced, an event which did not take place last Wednes- day. There were two of them, and they came down from a door at the back as if heartily ashamed of themselves. Signor Maurel again achieved a fine success in his forcible and unstrained singing and acting of the part of the libertine, and Signor Campanini received well merited recalls in his rendition of the funereal Don Ottavio, His ginging. of “i mio tesoro” was particularly fine. Mme. Nilsson shared in tne tri- umph of the trio, and gave her peculiar art more ‘ace than is usually accorded it, The Zerlina of ‘ile. Torrianiis a subdued performance. ‘Batti, batti,”” renderea with charming sweetness, pro- duced an encore. Her ‘‘Vedrai carino” was a good deal drowned under a more vigorous accom- niment than it calls for. Mlle. Maresi, as Donna Rana, dealt with the dificult music of the trio with success, but her organ is thin and delicate. There 1s yet much room for improvement in chorus and orchestra in the performance of this tryin, work before they can claim for it anything perfection, Othello at the Lyceum Theatre. Mr. King came to us with a reputation fairly earned in Europe by hard study, combined with a natural ability to interpret Shakespeare’s works, and though he first presented himselt in a deformity it was one that convinced all who witnessed him as Quasimodo that the talent he was credited with he really possessed, Last night he appeared to an appreciative and intelligent assemblage as “Othello,” and certainly the reception was one that could not fail to be exceedingly gratifying to him. Mr. King possesses @ presence and a voice that eminently fit him for the character of the knightly Moor, and it would be unjust criticism to ay. that he dissappointed in materi tga the expectations that had been formed of him. In a@ word, Mr. King’s Othello may be Summed up as good without being great, The character of Desdemona, as Interpreted by Miss Jeffries Lewis, was not equal to her rendering of Esmeralda. “Hone Jawa Was personated b: Mr. Wheatleigh, ant eR 3 Pousibi ‘or 3 man look ‘like @ vagabond and be an honest man the acting and the actor are above bor. a Mr. Dalton a8 Cassio dressed well and played thé bart Tespectably. The piece was mounted tn un. with the text, and, taken all in all, satisfaction seemed tO rest. with those who witnessed the loves and deaths of Othello and Des- demona. 1 —_—-—- ~ “Round the Clock” at the Grand Opéta House, Augustin Daly’s folly of “Round the Clock,’ weil pamed folly, for it would be almost impossible to name it else, was reproduced last night at the Grand Opera House to a full house. This piece, it will be remembered, was first brought out here last year with a cast embracing the names of Mrs. John Wood and Mr. John Brougham; this year, as if to add variety to the play, Mr. G. L. Fox was called upon to assume a comis réle in the piece. “Round the Clock” is too well known to make any analysis necessary, Its success bas already been acknow- leaged. In many respects the cast of this year is an improvement that of last. Fox's Lawyer Gaddigott is as funny @ piece of Pit one might wish to secs and, although Miss Hayward does not come ujto Mrs. Wood's rendition of the part of Jullana Tartar, the part is suMfictently well played to make it an acceptable py of acting. As @ pioture of New York life, With incidents here aud there tasough the Wiah- Ways and byways of the ha (4 oo of the attention of those who visit the 118, 28 Well a8 those who, though tay IN Ne Pork! know not its many phases of life, Same of the scenes are pe pictures in their Way, especially those of the Grand Union depot, Behind the Scenes at the Olympic and Donoyan’s alley, near the classic regions of the Five Ponts. Mr. McWade’s “Rip Van Winkle” at the Olympic Theatre. Washington Irving’s merry, kind-hearted yet drunken Rip Van Winkie had from his birth from the brain of the modest-manzered author thousands of sympathizers. When he was given a dramatic reality his sympatbizers, who were also the admirers of the sunnier side of his nature, increased, and as his fame grew that of his stage creator and first exponent went apace, Everybody had grown to think that only one living man understood Rip’s character and could exactly express it. Though the dramatic picture, of which Rip had become the main feature, was weak in almost every other detatl, they were pleased with the natural placing and coloring of Rip’s figure. But now has come a new artist, who has made a new picture, in which Rip 1s the strongest character. He pot his picture before the Rphtte last evening at the Olympic Theatre, Candor must acknowledge that the version by Mr. Robert McWade, the new artist, is completer and more instinct with strength and life than that which was given to the public by Mr. Boucicault and Mr. Jefferson. The central figure of Rip is not a8 perfect in tha as it is inthe former representa- tion, but it is periect in outline, and only needs added coloring. But it is this thing of coloring that betokens the great artist. Mr. McWade has given us Rip Van Winkle as being who falla out of merriment and drunken- Ress into trresolute repentance. He does Not express the intense pathos, which is the oppo- site side of great good nature, Qn the other hand, he exposes the hip he? Rip WH poor moghenic ia grief-expression. Perhaps he was strange to anditors last night, and perhaps he will warm hi delineation hereafter. If he does this Mr. McWade’s performance will be most natural, and accordant with Irving’s creation. But while it certain that the new play of “Rip Van Winkle” is better than the one in which Mr. Jeffer- son appears, we must except to at least one of its features. It introduces the dog Schneider in obedience to the desires, it is said, of many friends of Rip, who want to Know what Rip’s dog was like. The live soe: was @ very commonplace dog indeed, and must have proved a disappointment to such of Rip’a friends as were anxious to see him. Mr. McWade deprecates criticiam of the novel feature of having the frame of the starved dog ‘ow With the twenty years’ increase of a tree from which the skeleton is suspended. Aside from the natural impossibility of such a growth it does not add poetic effect to the play. Mr. McWade was E aa supported and the play splendidly Masical and Dramatic Notes. The operatic concert, by the members of the Strakosch troupe, takes place this evening at the Academy of Music. All the members of the troupe, excepting Mme, Nilsson, will sing, and the entire operatic chorus and orchestra will participate. A matinée entertainment will be givea to-mor- Tow at tho Union Square Theatre by the Charity Amateur Dramatic Association, in aid of the New York Foundling Asylum. ‘The Honeymoon” and “Rough Diamond” make up the programme of the performance, There was @ “rehabilitation” of the “Black Crook” last evening, but the Amazons wore their habiliments as scanty as ever, and so far as the ballet went there appeared no sign of any dispo- sition to put them in long dresses. There wasa full house, and the ‘variety’ business exhibited abundantly gratified the simple tastes of the large country audience present. WEATHER REPORT.

Asanguinary fight took place yesterday among 8 band of Indians encamped on the Jordan River, who had become maddened with liquor furnished them in this city, Guns, knives and bludgeons were used. A charge of shot went through one Indian’s brain, killing him instantly, and several others were wounded. ‘The inhabitants in the vicinity of the encounter were obliged to stand guard over their houses to protect their Jamilies. Business prospects are more encouraging, and there is, generally, a hopeful feeling. KIOKAPOOS GOING TO FORT SILL, SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Oct. 27, 1873, Mr. H. B. Adams, of San Antonio, to-day received @n express letter from the Kickapoo Indians at their camp on the head waters of the Concho River.

L.Graves, proprietor of the Mammoth Cave Hotel, and Edward Wilcoxen, an agent for the Cave, in which several shots were fired. Graves was wounded in the bowels; his wound will probably prove fatal. Wilcoxen was unhurt. Cave guides and others witnessed the shooting but were unable to pre- vent it, DEXTER PARK RAOES.

' MORE SUSPENSIONS. Garner & Co.’s Print Works Stopped. A General Suspension Threatened---10,000 Men Out of Employment. POUGHKEEPSIE, Oct, 27, 1873. The most serious results are following the labor panio in Dutchess county. Here in Poughkeepsie the obstructions to industrial pursuits are just beginning to be felt, Just east of here the brick makers have all been discharged and work in the brick yards has been discontinued. Boss car- penters have also discharged many men, and bust- ness in their line is at a standstill. Arnold & Co.'s chair factory, where many hands are employed, has commenced running on three-quarter time, as also J. G. P. Yelverton’s turning establishment, and other manufactories in the city will, no doubt, follow suit. But perhaps the worst plow has been received at Wappinger’s Falls, eight miles south of here, where are located the Dutchess Print Works of Garner & Co., which have employed 1,000 hands, Garner & Co., also have extensive print works at Little Falls, N. Y.; Cohoes, Roches- ter, Pleasant Valley, N. Y.; Newburg and Haver- straw. On Saturday lastthe manager of each of ‘the above works received the following tele- gram :— A WOFUL TELEGRAM, - 260", Shut down your works Saturday Ment {or am nde nite time. GARNER & CO, When the fact is stated that the works at all of the above named piaces employ 10,000 hands, and that the pay roll amounts to about $500,000 a month, one can calculate what an amount of misery and sadness that brief telegram carried into thousands of households, At the Wappinger’s Falls works to-day Mr. Faulkner, the manager, was interviewed. He stated that all but about 100 of the 1,000 employed there are now idle. The 100 are kept busy making repairs to buildings and machinery, and preparing for a new bleach and engine house, new stacks, &c. Mr. Fauikner could not tell how long work would be discon- tinued. It may be 9 month, or two months, or all Winter. The outlook is certainly gloomy. The operatives stand in squads around street corners, or sit pensively in stores or about the village saloons. But very few talk of leaving as yet. The last pay day was Saturday (day before yesterday), and then they received their notification o1 the stoppage of the works. Much money was due from them to the storekeepers; but, much to the sur- prise of the latter, the men, as a general thing, paid up well. Garner & Co. always keep two weeks’ pay back; therefore the men have that amount, ‘at least, to rely upon ahead. At ‘THE VILLAGE SAVINGS BANK, in Sepa, to inquiries, the gratifying intelligence was imparted that alarge number of the opera- tives bad deposits there. The little village bore a quiet look to-day, and there was but very little in- toxication among the idle employés. Asa class they are ae citizens, and they feel the blow greatly. The payroll for the Wappinger’s Falls Works amounts to $36,000 a month. Mr. Faulkner, the manager, states that several causes can be statea for the present condition of affairs at the Dutchess Print Works, One is that Garner & Co. no doubt got tired of going into the market to buy greenbacks to pay off with, paying the sum of four Up to por cent to get currency, last Saturday nightthe works had been running full time,mever being stopped betore except once, in 1865, for two weeks. Next to the Dutchess Print Works, at Wappin- ger’s Falls, is . ELIAS BROWN AND C0.’8 COMB FACTORY. Mr. Brown took a hopeful view of the situa- tion. He employs seventy-five men, and they are all at woi on @ $3,000 order re- cently received from Oanada. He saya his factory may stop a week or two for repairs, but he hopes to go right on again. His pay Toil amounts to about $6,000 per mouth. He finds no trouble to get money. He eve that he got his first note discounted af the Bank of Poughkeepsie in 1827, and never has had any trouble since. The day before last pay day he presented himself at the above bank for money to pay off with, and was told he could not have it. He presented hia claim strongly and got all he wanted. He hopes for the eat. At Matteawan, N. Y., is another collection of factories, The first in importance is that of THE SEAMLESS CLOTHING COMPANY. An interview with the manager of that institu- tion showed that the works were running along finely, and that the trouble had not yet reached them. They are making saaUey, druggets, hoop skirts, linings to Arctic shoes and linings for robes and blankets. They have been running night and day, with 500 hands, but are now running day times only with about 350 hands, They say they have had no difficulty in getting funds to pay of with. Their pay roil amounts to $20,000 per month and they pay every fortnight. Their hatting de- artment is at a standstill, and will be till alter he holidays. AT SCHENCK’S MACHINE works across the way a gloomy look is taken of the situation. ner aay the prospects for work were never better, but buyers show no disposition now to purchase. They empioy 100 men; but last week they shut up shop and all work is now suspended. The manager says the stoppage is caused by the decline in material. Said he, “Six weeks ago pig tron could not be bought for $48 per ton, and now it 18 selling for $31 a $32, cash. There is positively no demand for goods, Next to the machine works 1s THE MATTEAWAN HAT SHOP, which, when running full, employs 500 men. All the work in this shop is done by the piece, and there will be no cutting down three-quarter time; but when the works stop they will do so all atonce. Last pay day they paid off 282 operatives, They pay twice a month, and the pay roll averages $12,000 per month, On the Ist day of October the concern had nearly @ quarter of a million of dollars due it from customers, the most of which is per- fectly good. There is hardly anything doing in the works, aud said Mr. Mase, the manager:—“if this thing keeps on ten days longer we shall close. I will run a8 long as we can do enough to pay for coal and oil, The most of our empioy¢s can stand a stoppage of from one to three months, e are finishing up a few orde: and up to within a few days past we have been making 100 dozen hats a day. That is one-third of our production. So ees see we are running at a disadvantage. The at shop at Yonkers is the largest in this country, and ours is next. The Yonkers shop is closed, throwing 600 hands out of employment.” Leaving the hat shop we learned that Rottery’s fle works, near by, which employ sixty hands, lave succumbe: to the situation and are running on half time. The works of the New York Rubber Company, at the same place, are fortunately running on full time, making holiday goods, They employ about 100 men and find no trouble in getting money to pay them, All work on THE WEST SHORE RAILROAD has ceased, and at West Point all the tools and property of the contractors have been attached by workmen clamoring for their pay. Many of the brickyards on the river have discharged scores of employés, and to-day it is estimated that at differ- ent points along the Hudson 10,000 men have been thrown Out of employment. All work at the iron mines at Sylvan Lake has ceased and many of the furnaces along the river are discharging men. The Dutchess and Columbia Railroad Company have just discharged twenty- five men and cut down day laborer’s pay ten per cent, Freights have fallen off greatly everywhere, the Hudson River tows doing much less than last year this time, THE GRASPING ICE COMPANIES, Uniess @ change comes quickly all the above must cause & great deal of suffering. The i panies are congratulating themselves the rospeets of cheap labor ¢! winter, as it is be- freved that thousands of the unemployed will flock to the river for labor in cutting ice. When the end to the panic in industrial pursuits will come is, of course, Mere conjecture. At Glenham, where the Glenham Works are lo- cated, out of 600 hands formerly employed there only about 300 are left, and they Will probably not have any work after the ist of Decomber. The receiver, Mr. B, Platt Carpenter, sold tfe store belonging to the wurks to-da; ae all tts contents, There were ete a number et uyers present and goods brought @ Ipir price. THE PITTSBURG BLAST FURNACE REDUCING THEIR WORK Pirrsavra, Pa., Oct. 27, 1878. At a meeting of furnace owners held on Saturday last, at which every furnace in this city and vicinity Was represented, it was unanimously re- solved that on and after to-day a reduction of ten per cent would be made on all labor. Itis the | Opinion of most of thoge who were present at the meetiy that it ba be very diflicult to keep the furnaces in blast, and thaf a further reduction might be necessary to prevent entire suspension, THE OLOSING OF THE NEW ENGLAND MILLS. {From the Boston Advertiser, Oct. 27.] At the time the panic began the large New Eng- land establishments were # excellent condition and were fully prepared for an active and prosper- ous season, In the complicated system of related Interest depending upon public contidence they were the last to feel the pressure and the most re- luctant to yield to lt.

C. Con- mer for Sheriff, Patterson for County Clerk—A Split Senatorial and Judiciary Ticket Nominated. Last evening the Workingmen’s Central Union of the city of New York held its county and mass con- vention in the City Assembly Rooms, at the corner of Grand and Elizabeth streets. About 400 dele- gates were present, and the assemblage was a very orderly one, although a number of policemen had been detaved, under the command of Sergeant Cornwall, by Captain Clinchy, of the Fourteenth Precinct, in case any outsiders or roughs should attempt to interfere with the proceedings of the meeting.

A Ballot Box and Its Contents Seized by Force and Destroyed at Scranton. SCRANTON, Pa., Oct, 27, 1873, At about twelve o’ciock last night a party of men surrounded the residence of Alderman Kelly, in the Second district of the Twelfth ward of this city, and tenofthem, deeply disguised and wear- ing hideous masks, entered the house, frightening the children, who were the only occupants of the front room, almost into hysterics. The men were armed with drawn revolvers, and one of them, approaching the oldest child, @ girl ten yeara of age, said if she produced the ballot box which had been used in the late election that her father had in charge they would not harm her. The chil- dren ran screaming to an adjoining apartment where their father was in bed, followed closely by the armed men in masks, who presented their revolvers to - his head, and threatened if he did not ive them the ballot box that they would blow his Brains out, He remonstrated with them, but this ouly made the! ore ésperate. The children ran aroun thé room, terrified alm t g jeata, and Grying to the ime meni not to kill their iather. A brother of Mr. Kol Who had also re- tired ‘to rest, was aroused by the uproar and hastened to the scene. He was met at the room door by @ masked man and a revolver, the latter in father unpleasant proximity. “Produce the ballot box,’’ said the masquerader, yuu send @ bullet whizzing through your heart!’ Kelly said he would, hastenea up stairs and brought down an old ballot box. The men were not to be deceived, They rqnewed their threats and demanded the genuine bai\t box at once. So Mr. Kelly, with @ pistol ciosé to nis cranium, surrendered the proper ballot box, con- taining the returns of the recent election, after which the men departed. When they left the house they fired off several shots, and ag. | toashort distance destroyed the ballot-box an contents, The Twelfth ward of Scranton la some- what isolated and apart from the heart of the Ca so that this outlawry was all the more easily accomplished, The ‘reason for this conduct is found In the fact that certain county oillces are contested, and the Court ordered the disputed dis- tricts to bring in their returns for investigation.

Mr. GEORGE WaSHINGTON Rexp then read a series of resolutions endorsing the principles of democ- racy and the nominations made by the partyin State, city and county. The resolutions were adopted amid considerable applause. A long list of vice presidents and secretaries was read, and the gentlemen named were elected. The CHAIRMAN then introduced as the first speaker William ©. De Witt, Corporation Connse! o'r: ba Wir, tn the opent ¢ of hi r. , in the open art of his speect referred to the tendency oF the government = wards CENTRALIZATION, and the result was that a great portion of the ime telligent press of the country was discussing the question of Cxsarism—whether the present dent of the United States, not content with the honor and the power conferred upon hairdo Jefferson and Madison, and having been twit elected to the Presidential chair, should again be put up for the suffrages of the American peopleg whether, beyond that, he shall not have @ life ten- ure of the office. The principle of the republican party was this centralization of power in the gov- ernment at Washington until it rose Up with alk the pretensions of imperialism, and unt! “OARSARISM’? was a topic of debate in American politics. Home rule, community independence, State rights, local sovereignty—how needful were these tenets of the democratic party to the faith of the Americam People to-day! it he did not propose then and here to discuss these larger national issues which Were constantly occupying the minds of the people of the country. He desired to come nearer home and to look at this cardinal principle o! the creed of the democratic party in its bearings upon their own city—upon the affairs and tnterests of their own home. He then proceeded to denounce SPECIAL LEGISLATION as & curse which made the great cities of New York and Brooklyn, with a united population of one million and a half—equal to one-half the popu- lation of the thirteen colonies which raised the standard of rebellion against Great Britain—mere toys in the hands of the State Legislature. It may be said in an evil hour the democratic party gave some support to this commission system, but he would remind them that it was but once in a num- ber of years that the democrats gained control, and that, too, was at a period when plunderers and robbers controlled the destinies of the party. (Cheers,) The new charter, which was a repul can instrument. bad continued the obnoxious com— missions until January 1, 1874. John W. Hunter, the democratic nominee for Mayor—(cheers)—is piedged to make war upon the commission system, and to restore home government. At the concla- sion of Mr. De Witt’s speech, MR. JOHN W. HUNTER appeared on the stage and was greeted with im- mense applause, the band playing “Hail to the Chief.” When quiet had been restored, Mayor Powell introduced Mr, Hunter as “the next Mayor of Brooklyn.” Ue pers | Mr. Hunter addressed the meeting briefly, say- ing that his nomination was not sought by him, that it was honorably tendered and honorably ae- cepted; that he had given no pledges and that he would not have given any if any had been asked of him. If elected he would promise to perform: honestly and without fear or favor the duties of his Office, and that so far as any delinquenc: ty of hile aMaial wae ve ww or te uaae Cate Within the powers of the Mayor's ofice, he would promise that that man’s official life would be very short. Brooklyn should have the value of every dollar that she spent and every dollar she was entitled to, Colonel E. B, Lansing, of the Liberal Republicam Committee, was the next speaker. He lad been told that the democratic party was dead ; if that Was the case, it was the liveliest corpse he had ever seen. (Cheers.) He had only to point to the result of the elections and victories of the democ im Obio and Iowa resident Grant he denounced as the greatest CIVIL AND MILITARY FRAUD. in existence, and with uis’ return a year ago were fastened upon us vast hordes of corrupt partisans, who were revelling upon the treasures of the State. and nation under the republican administration. He was proud to feel to-night that the democratic party had made victory doubly sure in the nomina- tion of John F. Hunter. He felt sure that he would twist the neck of every dishonest oficial whe- pitent come under his notice, The speaker then: eulogized the candidates for Register, County’ Clerk, Supervisor-at-Large and Senator for the j Second aistrict. The speaker took occasion to cen-/ sure the police as partisan, and he asserted that there were not sixteen democratic policemen om that force. Remarks pertinent to the occasion were made by George Washington Reed, John C. Jacobs, A. CO. Davis and others, after which the meeting ad- journed, with cheers for the democratic nominces..
