Multitudes of Spectators and Men | in Line, A GALA NIGHT. a eteieiapeieeienee Meetings Inside and Outside | of the Wigwam. ELOQUENCE Speeches by John Kelly, Senator Dootittle, Miltou Sayler and Others. Tho democratic display of last evening was exceed- ngly strong in numbers and in enthusiasm. The mul- tude of people who witnessed it was the largest ever Jeon abroad ¢f an evening in the streets of New York. The weather was favorable, being somewhat ot the wemperature of June, and the shaded moonlight ra- fiance helped the illusion of its being a Summer's fight. The procession and torehlight display com- prised perhaps 40,000 persons, and the number of those who looked on could hardly have tailen short of 200,000, The entire of Fifth avenue (rom Washington square to Madison avenuo was thronged on both sides, every Boop being packed with men and women, while the boys might be seen up on the perilous branches of the treex, It was the same scene along Twenty-third Street, Second avenue and Fourteenth street, Four leenth street was especially crowded, In front of Tammany Hall locomotion was almost impeded, and (inside the wigwam the unsuddued democracy mustered in great force. The procession, owing probably o its being gotten up at very short notice, was not a success in point of attractiveness, ‘The first section division, pumbering several thousands, was presentable, and passed the sightseers without disparaging remark, but it was followed by ademoralized mob from the First ward who had few torches among them, and were any- thing but a picturesque feature of the occasion, There wero breaks here and there long the enormous line, Stretching in continuous length several miles, that Spoiled the effectiveness of the display, and in fact the trowd of spectators and the inferior police arrange- ments coniributed to marth ir a De. Spite all this, however, there was A GREAT AMOUNT OF RNTHUSIASM, The air was impregnated with it All the streets And avenues within a considerable radius of Union square, were alive with people, Calcium lights blazed Atdifferent points and innumerable rockets tore the azure robe of night in all directions. It was a good Rumored multitude willing to be amused at anything and nowise hy pereritical. The stunning Spectacle of the evening was between eleven and twelve o'clock when the immense became massed in Union square, and Bengal fires, sium lights, rockets and a periect sea ot torches Ughbted up the spacious quadrangle in brilliant, alter- wating hues. Balloons were sent rapidly up into the sky, and all the city was made aware of the festive time the democracy were having 19 A large, roomy stand was planted opposite Broadway on Union square, and orators by the dozen spoke from there daring the evening, It was draped with rea Cloth and smothered in fl On the northern side of the square, oprosite the Everett Honse, another stand was erected for the use of Governor Tilden and anumerous company of distinguished democrats, The front of the Everett House was hid with fags of all mations and cvory window was filled with spectators, The Union Square, Union Place and Spingler Hotels wore also decorated, and the two s were flooded with light from planted above and around them. works was conducted from * square and was certainly scientious = zeal. The most crowded points on the route of the procession were Fourteenth strect and Fifth avenue, Twenty-third Street and Broadway and Second avenu teenth street. very window of the Filth Avenue Hotel was ful! of peering faces, and the same might be said of all the houses in the neighborhood. By comparison with the ratic turnout of last woek the one of last evening was much more imposing, The former was weak in color, discipline and organi- gation, Tho uniforms were scarce, the marching poor and the usual devices so attractive to the crowd were few, Notso last evening. Most of the clubs had unt- forms of red, white or blue capes, with military shaped aps to match. Tho MEN MARCHED THY ABREAST, and, in some instances, with military precision, There Were Nive laddies in biue shirts aud red, and sailors Laul- Ing along a full rigged ship, placed upon a track, and there was a goddess of liberty, seated ma trail jon, with torch bearers standing around her, everybody wondering bow she escaped set on fire, cousiering the way the bearers slammed their torches around the combustible temple in which she was i ied. The marshals and aids, on horseback, were flesignated by Alpine hats and wh:te glo The frand marsbal wore a red, white and blue sash and fosetie of the same colors. The line of march was ‘rom Washington square, up Filth avenue to Twenty. ihird street, then to Second avenue and down to Four. wenth street; turning there, it crossed over to Fourth avenue, wheeled into Union square, passed up slong tho cast side, and, steering by the Everett House, Was reviewed by Governors Tilden and Hendricks, Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer, Lucius Robinson, Smith Ely anda number of other prominent gentlemen.

Let this end, for if we would be successiul we must rebuild the prosperity of the South. tis from that country we find most of our rich exports, Again, Jet ns look at the amount of expenditure of the lederal government, [tis enough to condemn the republican government when we find $142,000,000 wasted in the expenses of goverument, I do not speak of pensions and interest on the national debt, I speak of the ordinary expenses.

Last evening Mr. Evurts spoke to the solig uien, and spoke ot country being forced to pay claims for the land on which they had sacrificed 500,000 lives.

Inthe front of the platiorm was the device, ‘Hail Cuba,” surrounded with the Stars and Stripes and the Lone Star flag of Cuba. Among the visitors on the platiorm were Miguel de Aldama, nt of the Cuban Kepublic in this country: Colonel Juan M.

DEMOCRATIC RALLY IN BROOKLYN. SENATOR KERNAN AND LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR DONSHEIMER ON THE STUMP. The final ratidcation meeting of the Kings county democracy took place last evening 1 and about the Academy of Music, in Montague street, where many siands were erected for the use of speakers. Among the speakers were Julius Kabrn, Coroner Ellinger, Professor Becks and ex-Lieutenant Governor Kauff- man, The gathering was oue of the largest that has | ever been held tn the City of Churches, and the entire ,he'ghdorbood contiguous to the academy was brilliantly illuminated, Prominent among those who occupied seats on the stage were ex-Senator Heury C. Murphy, Judge Henry A. Moore, Seymour 1. Husted, Clement Parsons, Colonel M. Bennett, General J. B, Wood- ward, William Harper, Daniel Chauncey, James Wads- worth, Peter Totans, Jobn M.

After the reading and adoption of resolutions cefning tenant Governor Dorsheimer was introduced, snd was re- He deciared that New York isto decide the Presidential contest, as it has “heretolore been called upon to decide the fate of the nation, The circumstances which environ the people in this crisis have never veen so striking as now. The factories are silent apd: the people are Jett ty stand tu idieness, Wuttl many heads of families Know not where to find the means of suetaimmg hile, The speaker said that tue party im power was largely strumental in bringing the couniry into this condi dn, When a great lawyer like Mr. Evarts spoke oa tasues of the canvass he had hoped that such a Jearned advocate mbt make some suggestion of the ans ot reliel irom this depressed condition of affairs, Hut there was nothing said about how we cuuld find relef from the distresses which to-day press upon the toiling masses of the American people.

Alter a caustic criticism of Goyernor Hayes’ career Mr, Dorsheimer paid iis respects to Governor Dix, the Oid Boy in Blue, whom Tilden veat by 59,000 majority on a certain oce: sion, [he only capture he made, as a military man, waa the World oitice, “Eleven yeurs alier the war,” said he, ‘he invites his countrymen to War, and comes forth as a comman- der of the Bovs tn Blue.” The speaker severely criticised the public career of Governor Dix, and said that ‘ ifwe win he will be on our side in a tow weeks’? Senator Francis Kernan was then introdaced, ana Was received with tremendous and long continued ap- plause, He thanked the audience for the kind recep- tion, and hoped he might never do anyining to foriett their esteem, Then, launching upon tho issues of the campaign, he said:—In the vote which you give on Tuesaay next you are to sug Whether the good of the government will be promoted or otherwise by a con- Uinuance of the existing administration, He asked Whether 1t was ot true that corruption ana extrava- guuce did exist in the party that comes before us and asks for a lease of power of tour yours Mr. Kiernan read an extract from a letter from Charies Francis Adams upon ihe disclosures of corruption which ts boney- omved inthe republican administration, We must establish, said he, the moral Cone of this govorn- ment. Our generation is to open the second genera- tion of our national fife, Tho Senator arraigned the republican party tor evading the ve questions of the day and lor going back to the buried past to excite the evil passions of the country, The revelations inthe War Departineut inthe exposure of Belknap were dwelt upon at length, and ne proceeded to criticise the career of Minisicr Schenck. Civil service rotorm in the r publican party was, he said, a talacy, and he appealed to honest mainbers of that orgauiza ion to tarn their own party out for tho safety of the country. The Navy Department was also arra‘gned for its extra’ gant and proilic expenditures during the past years of peace, Admiral Porter has said that “our havy, taken as a whole, is worth nothing, and the Sooner the country understands that the better.” The speaker exhorted the audience to vote so as to rebuke the corrupt party aud secure good government, Ata iate hour the meeting adjourned with choers for the ticket, THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEES. REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC ESTIMATES OF THE CERTAIN AND DOUBTFUL STATES. Faith In the ultimate success of an election Is an ox- cellent thinz to have. The gentlemen in charge of the campaign coumittees are not wanting in faith, Thor does not sevm to be the sligptest doubt in the minds of any of them but that the party they represent will be the winuing party, The visitors are always ime pressed by this faith, and carry away with them tho conviction that the contest is settled beyond the sbadow of a doubt, It is interesting at this stage ot the campaign to learn which States, in the opinions of tue headquarter mathomaticlans, are sure for their side. From the tables below it will be seen that the State of New York, with 36 electoral votos, and the State of south Carolina, with 7 electoral votes, ate claimed by both parties, The States named as doubtiul by tho democrats are Calliornia (6), Pennsylvanim (29) and Wisconsin (10). The republicans claim to be doubttal— Connecticut (6), Florida (4), Louisiana (8), Now Jeracy (9), North Carolina (10) and Oregon (a). THE REPUBLICAN ESTIMATE.

THE IRVING HALL MEETING. A large number of people assembled at Irving Bah Jast evening. Despite the surroundings the hatl was well filled, and alihough the proceedings were at times interrupted by sounds of revelry and joyousness out- side, the meeting nevertheless enthusiastic. Gen. eral Sickles said he wanted to speak to Americans, whether bis auditors were native or adopted, bat who loved" thelr country pod the per: petuation of ils institutions, whatever they might be.. There were times when partisanship should be husbed in the presence of the interest ane the welfare of the common issue, He went on to say that when the preservation of the Union was involved. ‘ when the public tranquillity was threatened, when the puvlic prosperity was jeopardized, when the dignity oi the country was in danger of being compromised, if then became necessary to take council as Americans, Now the time had arrived when the country shovid assert itself, Atter years of desperate struggle the: was no hope bur in the perpetuation of grand principles of the constitution which \o-day re mam unsullied. Jackson had clearly demonstratec those principles, but Tilden’s candidacy was pertectly absurd, In speaking of his war record the Genera commented upos the gallant warriors who shed thei blood for the Upton, and reterred to Tildea’s apathy at that Important crisis, The General then contrasted the two candidates who were presented te the suffrages of the people. He maintained that, as a soldier, Governor Hayes could pot tail to win the affections of the nutacrous soldiers who fought under him during the war, namitiin’, neverthess, that Governor Tilden Was an astute politician, but he was under the impres- sion that the soldier element ougut to carry the day. The audience was not particularly enthusiastic, outside demonsirations being more attractive, and while Gen. eral Sickles was very warmly received, a desire to wit. m rv the procession passing through the streets wag evident, REPUBLICAN REFORM CLUB. Tho Republican Reform Club of the city of Now York have invited their fellow citizens to assemble at the Sab-Treasury steps in Wall atroet, at one o'clock to-morrow, November 4, to consider tho political situation. ‘The call of the club recites the points bronght by ib under the consideration of the Cincinnati Convention, which are;—- F First—That the sacred pledge of honor of the United States to radeem and pay its lecal tender promises on the Ist of January, 1N79, sisal! ho followed by ail the legislation needint to tullii it and never shall be repealed or modified without the substitution of an eur.ier and better method of specie resumption: ‘Secoud—That all the powers of appointment to office which are intrusted to the Executive by the constitation and the laws shall be taltnfully executed ; that fixed meth ods shalt be estublished for the seleetton of persons for appointment, which sball protect merit against mor induence and favoritism: shat the legislature vever shal encroach upon the t.xceutive in this department of xuthert ty, and executive and legislative powers shall not be con fused by the delegation of the power of appointment by the Prosident or any Other execntive officer to members o Congress in order to conciliate their support or promote their ambition; and Third—Tnat the tenure of all the offices of the fedora government whose faithtul execution does not depend upos the political opinions of their nolders shall be independent of those opinions, and honesty, capacity und fidelity sial; become the conditions of obtaining and retaining every federal office.

SMITH ELY, JR.'S, NOMINATION UNIVERSALLY SATISFACTORY—THE FIFTH DISTRICT SEN- ATORSHIP. Tne complete coilapse of the anti-Tammany combi. nationists was the subject of general congratulation yesterday among the one. hundred thousand demo cratic voters who propose to cast their ballots on elea ' tion day for Smith Ely, Jr., the people's candidate for Mayor. It was generally conceded by all classes that the yoming of forces by independents, Germans and anti-Tammanyites in a laudable eflort to place Mr. Ely in the Executive chair—thus effectually preventing any bargain or sale upon the national or State ticket— was amovement which must commend itself to all democrats throughout the country, Up toa late how on Tuesday night energetic offorts were made upon the part of ‘disinterested’ statesmen to place a third lcket in the field. They argued vigorously ta favor of nominatifg Mr. Green, and the chances of 1 set of candidates under his banuer, But the prepos terous propouition was scouted at Weanesday’s com ference. It was undeniably proved that Mr. Grees could bave no po: 'e chance of success when pitted against so formidable a candidate as Smith Ely, Jr, But you can always find a class of politicians able va figure out any estimate of votes in this city to subserve their own particular interests. The peculiar turn of political events during the past lew days, in which all the opposing elements arrayed against fammany Halil surrenderes graciously to the tidal wave bearing upon its crest the name of Mr, Ely, has lett many am- Ditious statesmen on the barren beach of digappoint- ment, A majority of these gentlemen were candidates for office, and they made all sorts of efforts to keep 0 third ticket in tho field, Caucuses and consultauont took place, and their plans were given to the public 18 the ouluimns of the Hxnanv, The result or this ex posure was to put Mr. Ely’s friends on guard 80 as te preventa ridiculous combination which might result in hauding over the city to the republicans by dividing the democratic vote. ‘The ward intyiguants who tried to help along this programme wee yesterday loudest in denouncing the indorsement of Mr. Ely’s nomination by the inde- pendent, German and anti-Tammavy organizations, Toey held out until the last moment in the uctitious hope of being able to accomplish sometning im the end. They caucused until alter midnight ot Tuesday ' at the Monument House, Fifth Avenue Hotel an¢ other places in anxious expectancy of being able to de something to save themselves from destruction, Witt paper and pencil they fyured out certain resulta unde; certain circumstances, But all those intrigues ane hopes were doomed to defeat, as exhibited in the action of tho conference committee. Tt is now, of course, allowed by all partios in thir city that the Tammany ticket will be elected by an 1m mense majority, The usual rumors of bargain ant sale are carried around. Oue of the latest 1s in relatio: to the candidacy of Mr. Menty A. Gumbieton fo County Clerk. Wiseacres around the City Hall Pari yesterday whispered that it was on the carpet to sel out this gentieman, in order to elect the ropublicar candidate, Mr. Thomas Marphy. Such arumor coul¢ not be traced to any direct foundation and it is doubted among well-informed politicians, with whom the H&RALD representative yesterday conversed. As @ contradiction of this s ent it is alieged that Mr, Gumbieton’s successor as Doputy Comintssioner of Pablfe Works will ve Mr. C. E. Thompson, at present private secretary to Mr. Campvell. A LIVELY CONTEST. It is understood tnat we are to ha lvely contest in the Fifth Senatorial district botween Colonel Alired Wagstaff, Jr., the regular democratic candidate, and Mr. Frederick W. Seward, the republican nomines, This district is compoxea of the Kighth, Ninth, Fit. teenth and Sixteenth wards. It bas been represented by the late James W. Booth, a republican, for the past three years. The presout election is held to till & ancy caused by the death of Mr. Booth. Colona agstail Is ied popular and almost ceriain of beating down the republican majority of jormer years. \ BACKING HIS OPINION.
