NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1874——TRIPLE SHEET. CASARISM. Roscoe Conkling Comes to the Front at Last. ‘A RALLYING CRY FOR CENTENNIAL DIX, Everything Discussed But the Third Term. Eloquent Extracts from the Sena- torial Autobiography. “OCCUPATIONS” KEPT HIM FROM SPEAKING Xumbo Jumbo Summoned from the South and Repudiation from the West. A Depressing View ot the Situation. The Brooklyn Academy of Music was last night crowded from pit to dome by an audience of ladies and gentlemen, for the purpose of ratifying the republican county and State ticket. On tne stage there was an immense gathering of promt- nent Kings county republicans, and the boxes ‘Were filled to overfowing with distinguished fnbabitants of the City of Charches. ‘The proceedings were characterized by great en- thusiasm, The only speaker of significauce was Senator Conkling, who was received with con- ‘tinuous cheering. His speech will be found velow, It contains no alinsion to the third term discassion, THE PROCKRDINGS. The meeting was called to order by Colonel ‘Wicks, who proposed Mr. J, Carson De Vort as chairman, The Secretary read a letter {rom General Dix re- gretting bis inability to attend, but expressing his hope that they would have a splendid victory on ‘Tuesday next. (Cheers.) REMARKS OF GENERAL PHILIP CROOK. The first speaker was General Philip rook, who made a lopg and earnest address. Alter the speech of Generai Crook the resola- ‘tions were read and adopted. SENATOR OONKLING on coming forward was,receivea with tamultuous and long continued cheering. He said:-- One thing above all others gives value to this hearty welcome. Your presence and your anima- ‘on show that Brooklyn ts not heedless of an elec- tion which mast seriously affect she interest and ‘the honor of the State of New York and of the yeities and hamlets. througnout all her borders, I, too, feel a deep interest in the approucbing election, and it has distressed me that occupa- tions and claims on my time which I was not able to put aside have prevented mu ap- pearing more frequently to urge in public the duty Of holding our great Commonwealth on the side af commercial honor and af human rights, (Cheers.) Does any man doubt that not only the better sen- timent of tne State, but numbers, also, are iu favor Ol the ticket headed by Jonn A. Dix? No man Well informed doubts this, and yet the Tammany Party hopes to win. How? Why? Because ‘of @pathy, indifference and discouragement among republicans. Discouragement! whence comes dis- couragement? Why, it seems the most recent cause is that, though several States nave voted right, there are two distant States in which the elections have goue wrong—and every man, North and South, who has fonght the government, nd who hates tt now; every man who would joy to see the national honor tarnished feels good abont it. Ido not say that many patriots do not in their partisanship rejoice also, but I say THERE 18 NOT ONE HATER OF THE FLAG BETWEEN OCEAN AND OCEAN WHO DOES NOT FEEL INWARD JOY WHEN HE HEARS THAT A STATE HAS GONE DEMO- CRATIC. Two great States bave just declared for the democracy, and the event has nad much the pame effect on many men that a rebel victory sed to have during the war; the effect ts much the same, and the men who feel it are much the same. It 18 an ill Wind, no doubt, but it may blow some good if we study its causes and realize its meaning, For the test 1t applies to the intelligence and patriotism of the people of New York I do not regret it. It touches with a live coal the sificerity and courage of every man who bas pretended to abhor the worst aims and worst types of modern democracy. Repudia- tion epen and shameless, dishonesty downright and palpable, have managed to prociaim them- selves master in two States. Shall republicans in the commercial centre of the country cower and wut before such a shadow? Shall ao great party halt and tremble a golden opportanity away? Shall men be listless or palsied when they need only action and courage to win @ great victory and todo a great right? Shame to the laggard or coward thought that finds anything but a summons to duty in the tidings from the West! Shame to the republican who will not SET HIS FACE LIKE FLINT AGAINST THE ABOMINABLE DOCTRINES WHICH, THROUGH NEGLECT AND DECEPTION, HAVE WON THEIR WAY IN OHIUV AND INDIANA! (Cheers,) What can we learn from these lost elec- tions? im front of all else stands the fact that that cause and that party, be it good or bad, is surest to triumph in the long run which fies its own flag, nominates its own men, sticks to its organization, stands by its own doctrines, and ac- cepts its own responsibilities. During the last three years of third party impostures, of deceitful nominations and intrigues, of masquerading in pew names and disguises, the democratic leaders in Obio have stubbornly maintzined their old organization. Those who chose to join it coula do so, but new-fangled masks and partnerships for votes and spoils have been bluntly refused. In Indiana, mach the same thing is true. Mr. Voorhees, who made the piat- form and led the canvass, and led with an ability none can deny, was the one democrat in Vongress in 1872 who denounced and exposed the Cincinnatl Convention and the sorry fusions which followed. Swept into the muddy whirlpool which engulfed the national democracy, these States, with un- yielding tenacity and upity, have held fast to their own party men and names and to their Own organization. To this is largely due the vital- ity, the discipline and the endurance which, even ‘when batting for am unholy cause, has made them victors—victors even over right. 18 THERE A LESSON IN THIS FOR US? There are men, good men, repodiicans, who seem to think therepublican party owes @ perpet- wal apology Jor its existence. It is not quite the thing to be partisans, we are told, Why not? ‘Why js it not right to be the partisan of your gov- ernment, your party, your Church or your friend? ‘What is the sense of belonging to a party a little, belonging to it of and on, belonging to it now and then? If it is not: fit to belong to, mo one should belong to it at al. If it is fit, if, despite the unworthy members and flaws and shortcomings which inhere in all human associations, it is the better of the two parties, then why not go for it and go with it, and make the best of it? Why not act in the spirit of the Scripture command, “Whatsoever your hand findeth to do, that do ye even with your mignt?’? (Cheers.) It seems to be admitted that the pres- ent Governor and his associates on the ticket have fm the main discharged their daties ‘faithfully. They stand on republican principles, and yet their defeat is hoped for on the ground that republicans do not care enough about their party creed, are not sincere enough in their party professtons to go to the polls end vote, With @ napty history grander plan other, with principles on which depend the honor and the interest of the nation, and the progress of humanity and free government in the world, with candidates who have been weighed in the balance and found faithful, republicans are relied upon to give away the State of New York to a horde of partisans who in truth mean nothing in harmony with the judgment and conscience Or the nation, a8 continually recorded since 1860, They, t© whom it 18 hoped dissatisfied or heedless republicans will give up the sceptre of the State are partisans; but they are partisans on the other side, 1s not Mr. Tilden @ partisan? When republicans voted for him for the Assembly, and for Mr, Seymour and ior Mr. Tiemann and the rest, in 1871, Mr, Tilden was Chairman of the State Committee. Whatdid he do? Tweed had ruled the State Convention and nominated the ticket. He had renominated tue recreant State oficers who at Albany hau promoted nis flagrant schemes of plunder, this was notorious lopg betore the Rochester Convention met, and yet the State oft- clals, already convicted at the var of public opinion, were boidly presented again ior the suffrages of the people. puch things are not unknown even now in the county of Kings. Such was the demo- cratic ticket in 1571. Mr. ‘Tilden was nominated and supported by the republicans, and, while ac- cepting their support and knowing the sin ana shame of the democratic State ticket, | ask again What did Mr. Tuden do? Look at the oficial can- vass of the votes that year on Manhattan Island aod in this couoty, and in that record, if anywhere io human annals, you will see a picture of tne be- sotted bigotry of party. Perhaps you may find something worse there. The counted vote in New York was nearly as Jarge jor the noturious Tweed State ucket in 1871 as it tad been the year betore lor Joho T. Hoffman, when, as you all know bow, Many thousands Were fraudulently addea to the count, Did Mr. ‘Tilden or Mr. Tilden’s friends oppose or repudiate the Kochester ticket, reesing, as it was, with the most odious frauds that ever polluted New York? REPUBLICANS COULD RUN AFTER MR. TILDEN, A> THEY RAN AFTER THAT OTHER GREAT AND GIFTED REFORMER, HAVEMEYER; but Mr. Tilden saw the Tweed ticket with the party label on it, and he could see notoing else. The same thing was true ol those Who manage for Mr, Tilden now, My neighbor, mr, Kernan, who 1 see stood here the other evening, in 1871 traversed the State asking votes for the Tweed State ticket, and, according to the published re- ports, on much the same grounds he presents now. ited degree. iu Oneida county, whe:e these two distinguished gentiemen reside, there was then a democratic State Senator wo had voted ire- uebtly for everythiag for which Tweed voted, is party selected him from all thetr members to be Dominated again, and with his record before them all the demvucrats voted jor him, and every democratic yoice said ameu, Tie same leaders and the same followers coniront us now, asking to be trusted, and you wonder whether many who have disapproved them here- tolure will even vote on Tuesday next, Why is this? There are no miracles nowadays, There is @ cause ior everything. WiAt IS HE CAUS:! TH TORPID, INERI, DISSATISFIED STATE OF MANY MEN IN RESPECT OF PUBLIC AFFAIRSY Yhere may be many causes; 1 want to speak of one, The panic bas distressed a vast multitude, but {am not about to speak of the panic. Ifa man panic, and that the matter can be helped by going lor repudiation and indation, that man neeus & physician, not an argument. (Laugn- ter.) ‘There i§ one cause of public Btupefaction of which 1 would remind and warn you, The country bas long oeen tilled with din about universal cor: uption. A foreigner read- ing @ large part of the American press, or travel- ing through the United States and listening to ‘What has come to be the general rule of talk, would suppose we had falien on the most depraved and venal era of the Republic, if not of the world. Nothing is exempf., Everything is cheapened, everytuing 18 suspected and disparaged. From the President down every man in pub- lic statiun, every candidate jor pubiic sta- tion, is treated as if he were ao unprin- cipled schemer. Tne }resumptions of common sense are reversed. Formerly, if a man was se- jected by his feliow citizens tor 4 public trust, the presumption was that he was worthy, and one of the presumptions of the law lor a thousand years has been that a public officer does nis duty. But now @ man need ouly be nominated to be at once suspected; he need only be in office to be the murk for every foul impatation. Ali this, of course, tukes efiect chiely on the partyin power, For “lest pak the republican party has held power, save during the three years when the democrauc party and Andrew Johnson each other to @:ch other's bosoms, (Cheers and jaughter.) I[ will not s,eak of what has been accomplished during these memorable years. ii we dare re‘er to the past we are at once told that a party can’t live on its past—and this is true; but when you want to know what @ mao ora oouy of men can do, or willdo in the future, it is rather uselul to know what they have done already. However, I am not now dealing with the achlevements in War, peace, diplomacy, finance, civilization, of the republican party. My point is dil- jerent. During all thése years not only the opposition and the “outs,” but the pon-partisan, impatient, the — critics, politicians, people, gossips and press have been buttering away at the party in power. Much of this Laer t fails Ou the President and Congress, und I am glad to know tt grows worse and worse, because 17S EXCESS 15 TO BE I'S CURE, AND THE SOONER THE POINT OF SATIETY AND RE- ACTION IS REACHED THE BETTER. It was very bad tn Mr. Lincoin’s time. It is far worse now. When Mr. Sumner died most of his eulogists seemed to fail involantarily into @ dismal monotone of praise; in stereotyped phrase they praised him jor being personally honest ‘in these times of gen- eral corruption.” Such railings and lamentations have filled the public ear till thousands of men and women are puzzied and despondent and hall doubtiul whether tt is woith while to vote or to discharge the auties of citizenship. Speaking not as a repubilcan, but as an American, proud ol my country and my countrywen, 1 ENTER MY DE- NLAL AND MY PROTEST AGAINST THIS MON- S?IROUS LIBEL, (Tremendous cheering.) Speak- ing of public men in Washington on both sides, as a body, I believe they will compare favorably with those who went beiore them. entered Congress fliteen years ago. From then till now, under Bu- chanan, Lincoln, Jobnson, Grant, my op- perc of seeing both before aud _be- ind the scenes has veen improved with diligence, and nothing is more certain than the change for the betier in the Executive Departments im both wings of the Capitol and tn the Supreme Court, (Appiause.) In 1859 a large proportion. of the members of the House of Representatives went habitually armed with deadly weapons. Drinking to excess was surprisingly common, Large numbers in both houses were often, long before evening, unfit todo business. Liquor was kept, as far as { know, in every committee room in the Capitol—bookcases doing duty as sidevoards, Gambling and other dissipations were very common mong public men, and vice and debauchery were topics of loud and unclean jest, Lobbying and Jonvery were tou palpable anu pievaient to be Overlooked, and on all sides lax practices pre. vatled which now would scarcely be credited, ALL THIS IS CHANGED FOR THE BbEITER, GREATLY FOR THE BETTER IN ALL RESPECTS. LIQUOR IS NOT 1OLERATED IN THE CAPITOL, (Cheers.) wt @ maa in either House that I am aware o! disqualifies bimseli by drink, Gambling and debauchery are no longer practiced, or they are at least hidden aw: No man dares now, as to boast or Over such achieve- ments. VENAL JUBBERY, IF PRACTISED, IS TOO SECRET TO BE SEEN. Formerly every Cabinet oflicer, and many others, rode in a public carriage as a matter of course; now a Cabinet ol- ficer who merely allows the old custom to goon Onds himself trumpeted through the world as a great onender. George Washington, when Presi- dent, rode with six horses and with out-riders, When he wished to use horses he or- dered them irom the War Department at the ublic expense, and tue vout-riders also. The same. things which’ formerly ex- cited no remark, would now make such a atir that the country would not hold the noise. ‘The Salary and Back Pay bili, bad as it was, and voted jor, ‘ou remember, BY A LARGER PROPORTION OF DEMOCRATS THAN OF REPUBLICANS, WAS NOT WORSE THAN A LIKE BILL PASSED IN 1866, ONLY EIGHT YEARS AGO, The bill of 1866 con- tained every obnoxious Jeature of tue bill of last year. ‘the act of passing 1t was in some respects worse, because it stood by itself and could be de- feated withous deleating an appropriation bill, apd yet the oue man from this State who gave the casting vote was aijter- ward returned by an increased majority. The republican party, beyond any other in listory, weeds out its own bad practices—and some of its members, not content with doing this, are perhaps @ littie inclined to make the proc as noisy and awfully dramatic as possible. Abuses, hoary with the of @ century, have been cut up; in- quirtes have been made which no preceding paity have tolerated, and men nave been cast out for acts which twenty- five years ago would have passed uncuallenged or unnoticed, Yet all this, the very instances of sel{- arification, are hurled against us, and we are pub- isbed to the world as a nation whose government is sank in the grossest depravity and corrupiion, If all this defamation tended only to the overthrow Of individuals, or even of parties, the harm would be Jess than t¢1s, BUT IT 18 A CRIME AGAINST CIVILIZATION AND FREE INSTITUTIONS—IT IS A SIN AGAINST THE CAUSE OF SELF-GOVERN- MENT. Tois Repuolic of ours is the only consider- able experiment extant on the giobe of a govern- ment “‘of the people, for the peopie and by the people.’ Its theatre is a Continent biessed with abundant and matchless naturai alvantages, Its polity and its institutions are the work o! extraor- dinary men drawn from many older Nationalities—men —_ profoundly versed = in government-and they consecrated tnem- selves to devising & system superior to any mankind bad known. It bas endured a hun- dred years in the world’s most eulightsned age, and tf now the experiment has culminated in one grand carnival of venality and paradise of trick- sters and plunderers, WHO DAKES COME. NEXT IN THE MARCH OF NATIONS TO DISPUTE THE DIVINITY OF KINGS? (Cheers.) Some men are ever bemoaning the present and exaggerating tne The report of a meeting here the otber 1 the speakers r¢ sof the Supreme Court used to was referred to, a great and pure Judge, but estimating the comparative merits and labors of judges, we must observe the difference in occasion. When Jonn Marshall w: appointed Chiet Justice there were twelve caus OB the docket as the Cour, He could devote Mr. Seymour did the same thing in @ lim- | believes the repavlican party brought on tie | month to each case and write all the opinions himself in a year. Now there are about 700 causes on the docket of the court at a singie term, and, as a rule, they are more complex than the earher case were. We hear Low well Congress used to do its business, and how competent and masterly its members wed to be. Did you ever think how the labors and business of Congress ind its members have increased even in the last twenty years? ln the Thirty-second Congress, which occured twenty-one years 0, there were Introduced into the Seaate during the two years 640 Lilis, a number much larger than it had been betore. In the House the number of bills was 368, The number of bills and resolutions finally acted on and approved was 309, In the jast Congress, the Forty-second, of Senate bilis there were 1,652, of House bills, 4,073, of laws passed, 1,014, Twenty years ago the bills of @ session were 1,015—now they are 5,725, Twenty years ago tne laws passed at a session were 300—now they are 1,011. Take these data and exiend them to all the work cone in Congress and in the other departments of govern- ment, and see whether it ts fair to compare the intellectual performance of men overborne in the Whirl of the present with the leisurely and pains- taking efforts of the Jess crowded past. iO, It Is NOT TRUE THAT THE NATION RETROGRADES; AND IT DOES RETROGRADE IF IT ELECTS TO ITS SEATS OF POWER WORSE MEN THAN WERE FORMERLY ELECTED, (Tremendous cheering.) | As water rises as high as the fountaim-head, so | representatives, as a rule, are on a plane and level with their constituenctes; and you cannot prove that Congress aiter Congress, and President after President, and Cabinet after Cabinet, are vulgar and venal, without proving at the same time the decadence and disgrace of the American people, You may doubt anything to death; and suspicion has been bred til men dare the most shame; wrong, and succeed in it, too, relying on the and roar against the authorities and the une q. distrust which carps and sighs for change. Look at the elections in Ohio and Indt- ana, carried under cover af the rant and din I have described, aud see what they have done. Speak- | ing before the worid these two great States have been made to deciare not only for watering and debasing the curfency, but for repudiating the nution’s obligations and dishonormg the nation’s plighted faith, Cheating the Public creditors out and out, has gone over Europe to every money centre on the giobe as the real purpose of a great body of the American people. And this, too, at_ a time when we are borrowers in the markets of the word, seeking to negotiate our obligations at lower interest so as to retund our dept! SUCH IS THE BASE AND BRAZEN MESSAGE WHICH MEN IN OHIO AND INDIANA SEND GREETING TO 'THE EAST. What does the democracy of New York say to1t? Cannon thun- der their applause. A hundred guns nave been fired jor this ingiorious achievement wherever democrats could get trusted jor the powder. THE COU RY Ib TO PAY AN IN- CREASED RATE OF INTERES! FOR THESE VICLORIES, AS WE HAVE PAID HERETOFORE FOR THK EVANGEL OF REPUDIATION DE- CLARED IN DEMOCRATIO CONVENTIONS, But now let the great State of New York vote with Indiana ana Ohio, and how muen will it cost her? The question touches not ooly our pride but our pocket, Such @ scandal tarnishes the American Name, but it 1s tue forerunner Of cost in money audio trade and commerce also, and the joss will fall on no State sv heavily as here, With out one-. eleventh of the nation’s popniation, New York pays one-third of the nation’s taxes, Increasin, the rate of interest paid vy the United | States may be of httie moment in dollars and cents tosome States, but it 1s serious sport for New York, Freed irom all suspicion of meaning ever to repuuiate our bonds, we can borrow money as cheap as any lender in Christendom can afford it, but ever since the democratic party raised the cry ol repudiation in their National | Convention of 1363 we have regularly paid not only interest, but on top of interest preminin o: tnsur- ance against the risk of our own rascality, In the great clection of 1868 the people trampled out the disnonoring platform of our opponents, but there it stands to this day as their latest national deciaration of sentiment; and now it breaks out in still more naked plainness in nearly every Western State, and the democracy ot the East goes into delirium tremens of joy and ex- ultation, But Governor Seymour, who in 1868, ran on a plain repudiation platjorm, argued the other evening to the peopie of Brooklyn that the success of the Tammany ticket in this State would bot wear the look of inflation or repudiation, Uan | that be so? CAN YOU VOTE DOWN GOVERNOR DIX WITHOUT DISAPPROVING HIS HARD- MONEY MESSAGE TO THE LEGISLATURE? Can } you vote down the republican ticket with- out seeming to disapprove the President’s veto of the currency bill? call on the eminent business men of Brooklyn who visited the President last winter, or urged him by letter to veto the Expansion bill, and to stand like @ Tock against the swamping tide o! inflatioa—I call on these distinguished citizens to interpret the verdict of New York 1 she joins Ohio and indiana, (Cheers.) Governor Seymour tripped lightly over | the thin ice whereon he trod, He 18 reported as saying :—“rhe question how a certain class of our bonds should be paid was raised several years since. It did not divide parties, but it made @ difference of opinion among mem- bers of each party.” With deference to bim- Tappeal trom the Governor wo the record. Tne question whether our bonds were to .ve paid or to be repudiated by retusing to pay them In any- | thing but depreciated non-interest-bearing paper promises, did divide parties as soon as the ques- | tion arose. Governor Seymour’s party declared against paying tue bonds in money and for taxing the bonds, though the law creating them said the. should never be taxed, and the constitution itseli “3 interpreted by Chief Justice Marsnail and the Suoreme Court said so too. This declaration of double 1epudiation was written in the democratic platiorm of 1868, The republican party, in its platform the same year, said the bonds should be paid sacredly in Mouey. President Grant, standing on the steps of the Capitol with his oath of office on his lips, said that every larthing of the public debt should be paid in coin, the money of the world. All this was when the question iirst started. Did not the ques- tion divide parties? ‘The position of the repudia- tors was bad enough then, but not hall so bad as now. Why? Because then the nature and at- tributes of the bonds stood on. the acts of Congress under which the bonds were issued, and on those acts alone. Meanwhile the people decidea the question by the great flat 01 1868, and then what did Congress do? In March, 1869, the first act of Congress—the first act signed | by President Grant—an act adopted by overwheim- ing majorities in the two houses, expressly seitied the whole question. By that act a suiemn @ bond that it should be paid in coin, On the faith of that act, the bonds have been bought and svld at Rome and abroad ever since, and now the democracy of the West say that act shall be repealed and repuaiatea, the bonds shall be repudiated, the banks shall be swept away and the nation shall be lannched on a sea of paper money, the volume of which snall rise and fall with the shiiting will of political majorities. The question did divide par- ties, it does divide parties, it will divide parties and it cannot be buried out of sight under the rubbish of Mr. Tilden’s scrap book nor under the faded fowers oi rhetoric wherewith he was wont, in 1866 and pefore, to strew the grave of the Southern Gonfederacy, No doubt, as the extracts read by Governor Seymour show, Mr. Tilden always. belabored the financial measures of Mr. Lincoin’s and of General Grant’s administrations, as he belabored ali the measures for the overthrow ot the rebeilon, ‘They all did that, and Mr. ‘Tilden was never hindmost ; but they ali took part in in- venting the ductrjne just proclaimed in the West, and at heart sour-fifths of the party mean it now. So stands the issue on the record before the world; so stand the parties, and so will stand the Verdict ag plain as the sun in the heavens. At this point of Mr, Conkling’s address a voice tuat, Senator?” but the speaker made no allusion whatever to that subject, and went on with his speech as follows:— The financial question is an issue of trath and falsehood—an issue in which right and wrong hold grapple for the mastery. Right may be trampled savannas of the South, Right may be bruised to- day by the heel of Tammany Hall, Brooklyn, in her opulence, her weaith, her intelligence and her power, may see the nation’s ponor prostrate in the streets; but in the end the right will prevail, elther by being steadfastiy upheld now or by rising in resurrection {rom bankruptcy and disgrace. Socrates was a majority in Athens, and those who stand by the plighted faith of their country now will in the end be @ majority in America, even though they sometimes stand in the eclipse of a mad and passing nour. (Cheers.) Comptroller SCHROEDER briefly addressed the mecting on the financial position of Brooklyn, after which the vast assemblage aispersed. O'BRIEN BATIFIOATION MEBTING, Congressman Creamer After Sachem John Morrissey’s Scaip. Glass Hall, in Thirty-fourth street, was packed to excess last night with the political supporters of James O'Brien, ior the purpose of rati- lying his nomination for Congress in the Tenth district. The meeting was called to order by Mr. James Everard, who introduced the Hon. Thomas J. Creamer as the frst speaker. Mr. Creamer contended that nome rule was @ | most important issue In the present canvass. Our city last winter presented the horrible spectacie Of thousands upon thousands of men walking the streets unable to find work, woile the authorities were apathetic and retused to employ them. Jo Speaking of tae present political situation he lined that he Was nota volter, irom tue fact that he had not been inside of Tammany Hall since 1570, It i @ disgrace to the great city of New You under the hees of a profes politician like Jobn Kelly and & of the stamp ot John Morrissey, Agains!

Messrs. Martin Larkin, Luke F. Cozzeus, J. J, Bradley and others also addressed the meeting. ' GERMAN RATIFICATION. The Germans Indorse the Nomination ot Oswald Ottendorfer—An Enthusi- astic Rally at the Cooper Institute— Speeches by Mr. Ottendorfer and General Sigel. Seldom in the history of New York has there been such @ great outpouring of the German element as was Witnessed last night at the ball of tne Cooper Institute. It seemed as though every German of repute and intelligence had ieft his abode to ratify the nomination of Oswald Utten- dorfer for Mayor. On the platform were all the leading German bankers, merchants, journalists and lawyers of this city, and, to judge from the names read in the lists of Vice Presidents and of Secretaries the indorsement ot Mr. Ottendorfer by the German population must be well nigh unanimous, At eight o’ciock Mr. Ottendorfer stepped upon the platform and shouts of Bravo” filled the air. The band struck up and after playing @ popular tune the loud clapping of hands superseded the strains of the music and the pro. ceedings began. REMARKS BY MR. PHILIP BISSINGER, Mr. HeRMAN UnL, chairman of the Committee on Arrangements, called the meeting to order, and proposed Mr, Philip Bissinger as chairman. Mr. Bissinger was elected by acclamation, and said, tn substance :—‘‘We have come together, fellow citl- zens, in order to ratify the nomination of Oswald Ottendorier for Mayor, (Tremendous applause.) We have not come together as republicans or democrats, but simply as free and independent citizens; lor we are convinced that the municipal affairs must be separated from the control of polt- tics, German fellow citizens, it isin your power to secure to our city a proper and: pure adminis- tration. Are you determined todo this?” (Iu. Muituous shouts of ‘*Yan!’) The following list of Vice Presidents and Secre- tarles was then read, most of the gentlemen named being on the platform:— Vie Presidents—R. A. Witthaus, 0. Zollikofer, Dr. Jacoby, E. F. Ballin, William Sreinway, George Steck, Edward Wollney, Willy Wallach, A. Weber, H. Wesendonk and some iorty others. Secretaries—D. 8. Greenebium, Simon Sterne, Peter Cook and some twenty others, GENERAL SIGEL’S SPEECH. General Sigel was the next speaker, and was greeted with tremendous “Bravos” and clapping of hands, The General, adjusting his necktie, be- gan by expressing his- gratification at meeting again so large a number of his countrymen. Al- though he had not been with them for a long time be had watched their effo:ts closely. He was de- lighted to find the growth of a pure and indepen- Gent element which was opp osed to the pernicious teacnings of Tammany Hall, (Applause.) He and they had frequentiy fought together in peace and in war, He alluded to the great cele- bration of the victory which Germany obtained over France, and hoped that alter the 3d of November the victory of Mr. Ottendorier—(applause)—and General Jones—(a)plause)—would be celebrated with equal enthusiasn. Ue was sorry tbat they had to fight both regular party nominations, but felt sure that the movement would not be inter- preted as a purely German one, bus as one meaning simply reform and the separation of tue municipal aflairs trom federal or State influence. (Applause.) Tne republican candidate for Mayor hed, been nominated In a secret conclave, and was not a iree choice of the people atiarge. He believed that tne federal powers should relrain from influencing this canvass. It went against his Jeeling of | honor to ask President Grant whether he meant to run jor a third term. Buta question which he would like to ask him was, Why he allowed his appointecs to corrupt the peopie at their muni- cipal viecuions?

(Applause.) It was a great wrong to mix Mr. Green up with Mr, Ottendorter, for the latter | was responsible for nobody but wimsell. (Ap | plause.) General Sigel then returned to the subject of the ernicious lederai tndueuce, and gave United tutes office-holders ‘‘fits.” it was necessary | also to abolish the influence of the State poi- ities over the municipal affairs of the metropolis. They did not want lobbyists to enact thetr laws, but their own representatives. (Applause.) Tho Mayor was called upon to ma.ntain the laws aud preserve liomesty aud order in all the depart. Ments, One important feature of the Mayor's powers—especiaily imporiant to the Germans— Was the fact that be was ex oficio member of the Board oi Immigrativo, aud they kuew how neces- sary 1t was to have somebody there who would protect the interests of German emigrants, He Jolt convinced that the German citizeus would in tne iuiure vindicate their right to have their own election inspectors, He knew that they would not be influenced by the money or the persuasions of the corrupt poliuicians = =on both = sides. They were imbued, he felt sure, with the feeling that they were American citizens, first of ail, and that tuey would always bave in view the best mterest o1 the Republic. He would even go so far ay to say that if the Emperor Wiillam were to send his spiked- helmeted regiments to America German Ameri- cans would meet them in the defence of their adopted fatheriand, (Applause.) Nobody could, therefore, reproach them with being animated by clannish feelings, aud the results of Mr. Otven- | dorier’s administration— (appiaase)—wonld vinal- cate their actluo at the pulls, (Knthusiastic apy Plause.) THE RESOLUTIONS. The following resolutions were then read in Ger- man and adopted. Tue name Oswald Utvendorier elicited at every mention tumultuous outbursts of applause. General Jones’ name was also greeted with mauy load “Bravos’:— ‘The citizens of New York have for some years been engaged in fight aguinst corruption and extravagance, the logical cousequeticus of party government, carried on with military discipine. samuany Hall ruled with despotic absolutism; when the voles of the regular | party soldiers were tnsufticient ballot stung was Te- soried to in order to manuiacture the requisite major- iiy.

Nothing short ot a complete separation of our municipal aflairs trom party politics will secure for ot city an administration, which, independent ot ail aff tions, will have but one purpose, that of giving our city & position worthy of lig ‘rank as the metropolis of ihe American Continent. The independent citizens of New York, recognizing the danger anu preterring to meet at | bad third i the race who were offering vets Ireely I {ts inception the combination which threatens to tasten upon us anew the yoke of party ruie, have determined to oppose the Ring nominations by « ticket of their own, oue worthy of the ill coniidence of the people and which can be supported by every citizen, without dis- tinction of party.

Mr. Ottendurier toen stepped iorth and was compelled to wait several mi before the whirlwind of cheering subsided. He dwelt on the importance of the occasion which had called togetner the German citizens of New york. If the question were only one of name or person there would be no occasion for the extraordinary efforts in this canvas But it was a der on the German citize! suppose that name of one of their countrymen had been propused for an office as a mere bait to catch their votes, in order to convince them of the necessity for liberating the city irom the clutches of political partes. Their deep rooted conviction that areiorm coul only be effected by throwing of the party yoke | @ letter signed by “bk. was what bad ied tham to unite in thie great movement, But the sly politicians wonld say that | this idea Of emancipation irom party was essen- tially German and could never be carried ont here, Such objections only showed bow thoroughly public opimion bad been cor- Tupted by the dickertag and mancwuvring political parties, There was somethin yery rotten in the state of Denmark, ana stilt More rotten in the pubite departments of this city. He would say to the head of every department in the city that if he were simply controlled py mo- tives of probity, tustead ot being under the thumb of parties, he could easily save thirty per cent of | his expenditures. (Loud applause.) If the poiitt- | cians said that such views were too German they replied that it Was a slander on the American pa- tion to make such astatement. And even if it were so they were right in making an effort jor truth and justice, and even though they bad bata | remote chance o! effecting the reiorm. (Appiause,) AN ALLUSION TO JACKSON 8, SCHULTZ, The general demoratization influenced even most estimable men, The geutleman who presided over the republican ratification meeting was we very one with whom he conferred bata flew dava ago on the subject of a strong and united opposi- tion to Tammany Hull, He (the speaker) assured him that he was no candidate lor the Mayor- alty, and would not run, under any circum- stances. The geptieman referred to asked him to reconsider this resolution, assuring nim that if he (Ottendorfer) were to be nominated he would vote for him. But scarcely had the dram of his party sounded wheo he retired to the camp and was ready to split tne power of the opposition, thus aiding Tammany iv the present struggie for supremacy. (Applause.) He would make no Se in regard to nis administration, He be- jieved that they all thought him tncapaole of say- ing anything but what he meant. (Enthusiastic applause.) But he would do his best to encourage ull good citizens in their efforts to maintain a pure and good government. (Applause.) Before clos- ing Le would allude to a most important matter— the constitutional amendments. They were in- tended to break the overshadowing powers of the Legisiature in passing special laws, and be implored them to consider it their most sacred duty to vote for these amendments. (‘‘Bravo,” **bravo."?) Alter a few brie! remarks by Mr. Klamroth, member of the Board of Education, and other speakers, the meeting adjourned with three ring- ag cheers jor Oswald Ottendorfer and General jones, THE GENERAL CITY OUTLOOK. The Politicians Bard at Work in the Districts. The near approach of the day of election {s hav- ing a very lively effect upon the workers of botn parties, and not only the wari managers, but the big bosses themselves, are now rolling up their sleeves and going to work in dead earnest. From this out there willbe no such thing as rest for either side, and, judging from the thorough search being prosecuted in every election district for every voter’s room and number, the inquiries that are boing made alter the health of the bedridden, and the hopes that are expressed for the speedy recovery of John and Jim and many like them, who have been lati up for repairs ever since they had a little argument and agreed to disagree about the candidates of their choice, Next Tuesday will be a busy day for the candi- dates. In some of tue downtown districts arrange- ments have actually been made, and will be 1aith- fully carried out, whereby the old and the sick will b@ carried to the polls on stretcliers if neces- sary. Indeed, there has not been displayed in many years one-hall the activity among the rank and file not only, but among those voters who do notas @ general thing take any very great inter- est In politics, as there has been during the past few days in the various districts, ana the indica- tlons give promise that the vote wiil approach within at least five thousand nearer to the full registration than ever before, The democrats of tho Tammany order aud the republicans, too, are quite Jubilant over this outlook, and each side argues that the result will be in favor of a very large increase in the vote of their respective Jollowers. it is pretty certain that the anti-v'aim- many Movement is the real cause of Lue prevalent activity among the regulars ot THE WIGWAM CAMP as well as among the repudlicans, and there are tuose who believe taat the two regular opposing ticke(s will poll a very much larger vute than they would have had there been no independent Movement. This was not exactly the result the independent maoazers looked for when they be- gan their warfare against Tammany and Roped to have the support of the repubd- cans; for they had an idea that rousing the people up to the necessity of derear- ing Tammany once tor ull the great mass of the voters, both democrats ana republicans, would rally round the flag of the reform leaders. While it is conceded taut very many of the reguiars have made up their minds to support cue inde- beaks movement on tue sly to the bitter end it IS geuerally an acknowledgea fact in political circles that there vas not been any serious de- jection trom the republican ranks, and that Wales will get the full vo.e of the party. Yet, incon- sistent as it is, those who put faith in this view of the situation express great fears lest the German repubiicans should persist in going over wimost bodily to the support of Uttendorier, while many of the Tammany men, who see notn- ing that ig not langhavie tn the idea oi the inde- Pendents gettivg auywaere wititn 20,000 votes of the successfui ticket, concede that ihe German democrais are in dead earnest tn their opposinon to tne regular ticket. ‘This, however, they believe will be ia:gely mpensated for by the fact that the party jinés as between Wales and Wickham have beea drawn 80 close of late, and that thou- sands oj democrats who vored as “independents” in oe aud wuo did not turn out at all last year, will GO THE STRAIGHT TICKET pext Tuesday. They couiend that tne dodge played Upon some Well meaning but timorous democrats two years age cannot be used again this, year to draw democratic fish to tae republican net. ‘Then toe Canvassers O1 the regular Tammany ticket were certain a few days belore electiun that Law- Tenve Wouid be elected, and it turned out that the | republicans were also; for on the Sunday previous | tu the election they started the story that, uniess Havemeyer received support from reform demo crats, O'brien was sure of election. The dodge turned out a complete success, and 10,000 badiy scared democrats by abandoning Lawrence brought about just what the republicans kuew would be the result of their “scare”—the election of Grandmother Havemeyer, who hadn’t seen the Harlem Kiver but once in twenty years. Yester- day in republican ona the suggestion wag throwo out by republicans that as Uttendorfer was now certain of poiling a very heavy Vote by | reason of the deiectious in some of the Tammuny districts, and as that would make Wickham third im the race, the best thing the Tammany | democrats could do who don’t want | A SECOND HAVEMEYER in office in the person of Ottendorfer would be to vove tor Waies, and make ine second Havemeyer’s defeat certain, ‘This is too thin,” suid one of the Tammany leaders last evening, “aud democrats can’t ve taken im by such cua.” Whetner or not some 0: the republican leaders mean what they say when they speak of Otten- dorier becoming dangerous, there are Many demo- crats Who delievea a Weex ago that he would be a | yesterday that he would be @ good second; that Wales, ta fact, would not poll over 30,000 voles, owing to the bolt of the German republicans, As to minor matters concerning the couiing con- test, there were rumors yesterday that the name of Magnus Gross would be scratched from the Al- dermen-at-Large by al) (be German democrats who vote the Tammany tucket, and that tuey mtended to put Frederick Kubue’s name in its stead, ine name of J. Wiliam Guntzer, it Was said, was to be Tun by some of the muapendents on the:r ticket in lien of Beatty. The contest between Hewitt and O’Brien for Congress in the Tenth District is get- ting very exciting, but Hewitt seems to be steadily gaining, the prevalent opimion of the knowing ones being that what O'Brien will gain in the Six- teentn and Kighteeuth Assembly districts he wil hires in the Twentieth and iwenty-frst Assembly istrict. ‘THE TWO STATE COMMITTEES were quite busy yestervay, especially Ex-Governor Morgan. The answers to the circulars the clerks have been busy recording during the week turn our to be replies to eigut ques-ivus propounded in D. Morgan,”’ under date of 1ith instant. Four of the questions are rather pe- cular, and will douvtless ve ediiying ty democrats weuerally:— What is your estimate of the result In your election district as compared with 18731 How many liberals are there who will vote our ticket? How inany men, formerly democrats and livecals, do you know of who will vote our ticket? Are there many democrats who will refuse to vote? The members of the Democratic State Commit- tee say that all the news they gs trom the coun- try is good news, and that they have heard during the week from every county, It should be borne in mind by voters in the Six- teenth Assemoly district that the name o: the republican candidate is Chai E. L, Holmes, and not E, Latimer Holmes, as ie of the papers have had it, OOLORED REPUBLICAN BATIFIOATION. Enthusiastic Indorsement of Hon. John D. Lawson and the General Republi- can Nominations.

Dix wrote the following letter to the President:— Stars OF New York, ExgcuTIVE CHAMBER, ALbany, March 30, 1874. My Dgar Str—I am very much concerned on account of the action of Congress on the currency question; and I cannot forbear to express to you my earnest hope that you will, by the interposi- tion of your veto, prevent the disastrous conse- quences which must result from any further increase of the paper circulation. Money can now be borrowed in the city of New York on the best security at four and five per cent interest, I believe I speak within bounds when I say that one-half ofthe paper currency of the country ts absorbed by stock and real estate speculations. Every addition to it will inevitably Tun into the same cuennels and only serve to multiply and aggravate prevailing evils. The acuon Of the Senate sustaining the action of the House of Representatives has already degraded legal tender notes below the standard o! specie from one to two per cent more than before; and if the maximum of four hundred millions pro- posed by Congress is reached by further issues, I @m confident the measure will bring on within the next two years a revulsion, which will be fatal to your administration and ruinous to the in- dustrial interests of the country, if not to tue public credit, Irrespective of such a national calamity, I should greatly deplore that you, who as I sincerely think have done more than any other living man to preserve the Union, should, by failing to exercise the constitutional power which the peo- ple bave confidea to you for their protection, allow them to be made the victims of a fatal policy and the government to be involved in deep and indelible reproach, It 13 under these painful impressions that I take the liberty of writing to you and of entreating you with all tne earnestness which it is possible to in, fuse into @ personal appeal, not to give your con- sent to any inflation of the currency at a time when every consideration of the public interest and safety demands its contraction. I am, dear sir, with sincere regard, yours, His Excellency U. 3. Grant. JOUN A. DIX, POLITIOS ALONG THE HUDSON. The Campaign tn Dutchess and Puts nam Countics—Activity Among the Contestants for Office. POUGHKEEPSIE, Oct. 30, 1874, The political canvass in this district progresses very slowly and very quietly; in fact all the move- ments on both sides are being conducted in the most secret manner. There is hardly any doubt but that the scenes which were enacted in this Congressional district two years ago, when John H. Ketcham and J. 0. Whitehouse were oppo-+ nents, will be again euacted this fall, though not so boldly and openly, im consequence of the induence of the reform movement which Was inaugurated at Claverack, Columbia county, and which looks to the arrest and imprisonment of any person detected in buying or selling a vote. That movement was this Season also Inaugurated to Dutchess and Putnam counties, and the association has employed de+ tectives to watca the polls, It is known that Mr. Whitehouse bas aiready signified bis intention of being reelected to Congress at any cost, and, wher eOre it is notimprobvable that criminal cast of thé gravest jmportance may arise out of the canvass, In the . FIRST DISTRICT OF DUTCHESS, ' Macken (democrat) and Hustis (republican) are both working like beavers jor victory. Arrayed against Macken—on purely personal grounds—is.

Mr. Traver is an enthusiastic advocate of reiorm on. the Columbia county platform and will spend no money. He will carry his town by 150 or 200 mae jority, and ti the republicans of this city will ree main true to bim he will carry Poughkeepsie and be elected. REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING IN HOBOKEN. A large republican gathering assembled 1n Oda Fellows’ Hall last night to ratify the party nomi- nations, Senator Frelinghuysen was to be pres- ent, but he was unable to attend, and sent a let- ter of regret.
