ALDERMEN AND Clear Course for Smith Ely, Jr. The Combination Collapse and Its In- side History JAMES O'BRIEN'S MASTER STROKE. We aro in the last hours of the groat battle which is to decide the political fate of nation, State and city for the mext four years, To-morrow, when the sbades ot night come on, all the turmoil, discussion, wire-pulling aud campaign oratory of the pnst five months will have passed into oblivion. ‘The drym beats of polit- teal hosts they marehed through our streets will have closed, the stentorian voice of stump speakers will be hushed for the time being, the warm excite- ments of a groat canvass must give place to the prac- tical work of depositing the ballots inthe boxes. To- aay the two grand armies of democrats and republicans reston the battle field, weariod and expectant. The great fight is about to clos Months of earnest cam- paigning will, on Tuesday next, reward with succes: oue side or the other. The occasion must prove an Austerlitg to Hayes or Tilden. The greenback and rrobibition battalions are but side shows to the giant’s neture. They stand tothe right and left, ready to !woop down on the foe where a weak point may be ob- ained. Peter Cooper can be considered the Blucher of ‘uesday’s ‘fight. When evening approaches on that yventful date he may march upon the field with bis little greenback army aud assist in defeating one side wr the other. A few thousand votes cast for Cooper wight bave a material effect in determining the result in the States of New York, New Jersey and Connec- Hout, Over 3,000,000 of voters thus stand fully equipped todo batile in this great national strife, Bunting streams from windows aud housetops, the camp fircs burn brigntly on hill and aale, but the main work has been fully accomplished and the ballot box can now alone give the final decision. Forty millions of people in the United States will look on witli intense interest, So great an host As with their weights shall make the mountains quake, Even as whea windy exhalations, Fighting tor passages, tilt within the earth, THR CAMPAIGN IN THIS CITY. It ts not necessary to speculate upon the chances of the democratic ticket in this city, Over 100,000 votes will be cast for nearly all the candidates upon the Tammany county ticketa. This much desired result will be brought about entirely by the wise policy adopted in the nomination of Mr. Smith Ely, Jr., for Mayor. Tammany Hall very properly gave way to the sentiments of the independent press and people and put forward as her standard bearer a gentleman of great ability and sterling integrity. Mr, Ely does not come beiore the voters of New York elty as a repre- tentative of auy particular clique or machine, but stands on the broad platiorm of absolute independence and freedom. There is no doubt that he wili make one of the most efficient and high-minded officials that bas occupied the Executive chair of this city for a Bumber of years. SURROGATE AND CORONER, | Some scratching may take place as to other candi- dates placed upon the Tammany tickets, and a chance exists for the election of one or two republicans, A fierce fight has been inaugurated against Mr. Delano'C. Calvin, the nominee for Surrogate, and Mr. Richard Croker, renominated for Coroner. The gontlemon op- posed to Croker and Calvin are likely to receive a good many democratic votes. Whether or not asuiflicient umber will be cast to secure their election 1s a prob- | Jematical matter upon which a great many of our local staiesmen differ. Knowing ones assert that William H. Stiner will bo substituted upon the ballots of thou- sands of democrats in place of Richard Croker. Un- doubsedly Mr. Stiner will receive the full republican Vote, and it is believed that the German democrats will support bim almost unanimously. He was for- meriy a Commissioner of Excise, and during his term of office made a host of warm friends among the people, His social Scquaintances will aiso assist him materially, as he is very popular with sensible folks. As to the Surrogateship, it is claimed that ex-Judge Peabody stands a lair chance of beating Mr. Calvin. The republican nominee was happily choseu. Ho will an excellent Surrogate, according to statements who know him it. However, on the other side. it od that enough seratching or ch: of tickets cannot be accompiished so as to overcome the overwhelming majority which will be cast on Tuesday next for the Tammany county ticket. The estimates &s to this majority, based upon the idea that 160,000 Votes will be cast, are as lollows Tammany Republican. v ority 80 a8 to boat the ticket. sake the trouble to scretch in many instances, ‘plan will probably be adopted so as to avoid ‘t! srousle, On she Siate and couaty ticket are inscribed she mi mes of Mayor, Sheriff, County Clerk, Surrogi Coroners and Aldermen-at-Large.

Under the charter tweuty-two Aldermen must be elected each year. Ten of the present Board have not succeeded in obtaining @ renomination, and they ac- cordingly step down and out after the ist of Januaay next. They are as tollows:—Messrs, McCarthy, John Retlly, Gross, Cudlipp, Billings, Hees, Wade, ‘Bryan Reilly and Gumbieton, There reasons why some of these gentlemen did not want to run again, Mr, John Reilly ia a brother of the democratic candidate for Sherif, Mr, Bernard Reilly. Fearing that bis can- didacy might affect in any way the chance of hi brother, ue gr and with good - tast withdrew from the contest. The same. may be said of Mr. Gumbleton, He is also a brother of the Tammany bominee for County Clerk, Mr. Henry A. Gumbieton. alderman Jacob Hess was prominently spoken of for County Clerk oa the combination: anti- Tammany ticket. Later on, when the chances for such 8 combination were scattered to the winds, Mr. Hess loomed up as the probable republican nominee for Sheriff. But here, too, ho was ousgeneralled, Mr. William H. Gedney being selected by the County Con- vention of that party. Hess is a popular man, and would bave polled a large number of democratic votes, although a republican. bouncing” of the am: bittous gentleman has given rise to the rumor that it is the intentign of Tammany Hull to sell out Gumble- ton for “Tom’? Murphy in the race for the County Cierkship. Tammany did rot want strong candidate like Hess placed on the ticket for tne Snrievalty, so that his claims were sacrificed to u politieal exigency. At least this ts the story narrated among some poli- ticans with whom the Hkraup representative con- versed during the past week. 1n the Fourth Senatorial district it is possible that three democratic candidates may be elected, instead of and one republicar, as ia all the other districts, except the Eighth. Aldermen Thomas Shiels | and James J. Slavin are the Tammany candidates for ction in this district, whilo a difierence of opinion seems to exist asto the gentienan who received the anti-Tammany nomination. ‘The contest in tuis con- nection lies between Alderman Bryan Reilly and Mr, Thomas Wild. Botb are strong men in their districts. in the Eighth Senatorial District, which takes in the Nineteenth, Twenty-second, Twelfth, Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth wards, four Aldermen, are to be chosen, ono additional being allowed under tho Jaw for the annexed territory. Ex-Senator Hugh H. Moore siderable opposition has been developed to Mr. Moore’s | candidacy, but it is doubtful whether it will prove sufficient ‘to defeat him. A Harlem business man named Charles Welde has been placed in the fleld | against Moore. me A VITAL issvE, An important question may arise in the present Board about the 20th of the present month, when Comptrolicr Green’s term of olfice expires. ‘It has been rumored around within the past few days that Mayor Wickham intends to renominate tnls gentleman as head of the Finance Department. It will require twelve votes to confirm the nomination. Seven re- publican votes are already pledged, it is understood, for this purpose, while Aldermen Bryan Reilly and Mag- nus Gross are expected to follow suit Three more votes are required, and it is now whispered ton might be prevailou upon to swallow this bitter pill of renowinating Mr. Green. Probably the election of Mr. Tilden may have a good deal to do with bow these gentlemen make up their minds on the sabject. ‘THX SHXRIFY'S DEPARTMENT. It Js of course now settled beyond any doubt what- ever that Mr. Bernard Rielly will be the next Sheriff ofthis county. In the political bistory of New York city this will be the first time that a former deputy has been elevated to so important an offee. But there }o doubt Yiat the experience of Rielly (who has acted for fifteen years as a deputy sheriff bimeelt) will operate very materially towara conducting the office with ‘tage to the public and the legal pro- fession. The responsibilities of the office are very grea. Ittherefore requires a clear head and carotul Attention to conduct affairs with satisfaction to law- yers and litigants, Th are many abuses that can be remedied, and Mr. Rielly is just the man to com- mence the needed retormation He was in the Sher:!l’s office with Mr. Jobn Kelly auring both that gentlo- man’sterms.

My name {s mentioned as County Clerk. I admire their pluck, but it 19 too late, The independent green- back labor party held a county convention and nomi- nated a full ticket, I am one of the Con- ference Committee, and was present when the nomination took place, Mr, Smith Ely, Jr., was nomiuated unanimously as a candidate for Mayor of this city. At this late hour, when the country has to decide the great material question as regards the Presidency, and in such aciose campaign the State and city of New York may actually decide the result of tho election, I consider it a dangerous undertaking to put a new ticket in the fleld which may draw 25,000 workingmen trom thedemoeratic party. I believe in the plattorm of our honored fellow citizen, Peter Cooper, and thatthe present condition of the country demands a change of government. The green- back party are in duty bound to cast a solid voto for Cooper and Cary, as they vote intelligently. This new tucket would carry ‘thousands of votes from the democratic party’ to our ranks, not as sympathizers in our greenback movement, but axa matter of favoritism, &c., to the candidates. This would be playing into the hand of the republicans, who are bitterly opposed to the greeabuck movement. We must not help the republicans to carry the State of New York. Their lease nas expired. We must get new tenants who will take better care of the people's property. For the above stated reason I respectfully decline the above nomination, and sincerely advise to give up All ideas of a new ticket. Let us stand by our candi- dates and elect them. Mr Smith Kly, Jr., vur candi- date and next M yor, will be the pride and blessing of w York city, Respectfully, B COHEN. GENERAL WARD FOR CONGRESS. RATIFICATION MEXTING IN THE EIGHTH DIs- TRICT—SPEECHES BY THE NOMINBE AND OTHERS. A large and influential meeting of tho eloctors of the Eighth Congressional district held last evening in the riding school in Thirteenth street, mear Fifth avenue, to ratify the nomination of Hon. Elijah Ward agthe democratic candidate for Congress. The hall was brilliantly sluminated and tastefully decorated with the national colors, and a fine display of fireworks and Chinese lanterns were among the attractions out- ‘side of the building. Atmeng those who occupied seats on the platform were John T. Agnew, Fernando Wood, August Belmont, George T. Forrest, Sidney P. Nichols, George H. Purser, Smith F, Lane, Algernon 8, Sullivan, Joho J. Gorman, Ed- ward L. Donnelly, Frank A. Ransom and otber promi- nent citizens. The clair was occupied by Hon. Josoph 8. Bosworth, who urged upon the audience the ueces- sity of sending a man of such high integrity and abil- ity to represent them in Congress. The people de- manded a reform in the administration of the national affairs, and this could only be effected by sending hon- est and capable men to represent them at Washington. Hon. Elijan Ward was then introdaced. He re. | viewed the issues involved in the coming élections, The most important change which the people de- manded at the present time, he said, was integrity in public affairs, An administration which regarded freedom of government as nothing more than the right ofeach member of it to scramble for emoluments and honors for himself and his party, instead of ‘rendering faithful service to the country, had long held almost fall sway and had been the most prolific source of all the national troubles. Every other question should be Subordinate to this one, which has now so long dv- manded settlement, We had reached a period when the attention of the nation was strenuodsly directed toward the. reformation of the abuses which had attained unprecedented proportions under the manago- ment of the republicans. After referring to the increase in the number of employés in the civil service from 64,000, in 1869, to 102,000, mm 1876, notwithstanding the urgent necessity for ecovomy in the national expendi- tures, General Ward went on to puint out the neglect of the shippiog sod commercial interests of the nation by the party in power. Belore 1860 seventy. foreign commerce was in Ai sentatives last session in effecting a saving of nearly $30,000,000 with tae long continued extravagance of the present administration, and, referring to ern States, be said his views in this respe similar to those expressed by President Grant before he became trammeied by partisan considerations, when id that ‘After the close of the rebellion there wag a very fine feeling manifested in the South, and we ought totake advantage of ivas soon as possible.’’ ‘The pon a) witnout regard to party united with great yade and bravery in the preservation of the omitted to the most exorbitaut taxes without «murmur. The question of taxation was also alluded to and reviewed from the speaker! jtand point, He concluded by stating that no matter how wel meaning the Pre: epublical party might be he id be powerless to eflect eith: rotorm or retrenchment, and pledged himeelt that, if aguin elected to Congress, be would be as faithiul to the interests of his supporters and to the weliaro et the country in the future as he had been during the ust. Resolations were then offered by Mr, Edward Uiion pledging the united democracy of the Kighth Congreamonal district to support Hon. Elijal re-election. lonel Frederick A. Conkling was the next sever, and alluded to the whiskey ring and the frauds that had been perpour by is under the republican ad- ministration. Ho claimed that the rov of tho country had been greatly reduced by those irauds, and charged the present administration as being responsi- bie for the cause. Hon, Josept S& Thayer was then introduced:—He @aid that we were nearing the close o/ the Prosidential campaign, and that but one more working day re- mained until they would be callea upon to cas their have no work,’’) He desired e outaet one Very plain proposition, aud be before bin so many faces of honest ry ‘working jabor: jon who wanted no oflice, who would take no off ut who wanted employment for d bard hands.

Arepublican meeting was beld at Cooper Insiitu' last evening to listen to speeches from Chauncey M. Depew and General George A. Sheridan, of Loui apa, There was no outside demonstration, and the ball within was barely filled, but the audience was more like one of a theatre than a political meecting—s qui gathering of ladies and gentlemen. A long list of officers for the evening was read, and | John D. Lawson, chairman, after a brief address, inv troduced CHAUNCKY M.

It is the same party which in 1864, in National Convention assem- bled at Chicago, solemnly and unanimously resolved that the war was a failure; and in that dark hour of national gloom and peril this fire in the rear would have made ita failure had not the guns of Farragut in Mobile Bay pronounced THR DKCLARATION A LIB It ts the same party which in 1868, 12 National Con- vention assembled, unanimously and solemnly declared that the constitutional amendments, which bad crys- tallized the results of the war into the fundamental law of the land, were unconstitutional, revolutionary and | void.

And yet, though hundreds of thousands of repubi:cans voted the ticket, it wus defeated by unparalleled and unprecedented majorities, How stands the record on the other side? There never was organized political liberty in this country until the republican party was born. It saved to free labor and to free men the great Northwest, th granary of the Continent and the seat of its future empire. It prociaimed in 1860 the doctrine of the nation’s right to sustain itsel! by force of arms and adopted Jackson's motto, “By the Eternal! tb federal Union, it must and shall be preserved. it raised and put into the field 1,000,0u0 soldiers to enforce theso ideas; it struck the shackles trom tae limbs of 4,000,000 bondmen, ana standing upon this monument of bninan ‘misery, wor unrequited toil, prociaimed to all the world United States of America, now, for the first time in its history, is everywhere and in all its parts absolutely tree. ‘Iam not one of those who claim that the repub- lean party is entirely {ree from fault; that it 1s beyond eriticism; that all its pudlic men have been pure and Dut I do say that as between the two organiza- as their case 1s made up and presented to us this year, the vices of the democratic party so far outnumber and hide its virtues, that its virtaes can only be discovered by a microscope; while the virtues of the republican party so far outnumber and outweigh ite vices, that its vices can only be detected by an in- vestigating committee, The speaker mext arraigned the democratic party on {ts financial policy and defined Mr, Tilden’s principles on the subject. He continued :— If we could have these financial principles once firmly adopted any dead beat could take a note tor $1,000 to the most conservative of banks and say:—' ‘There is my note for $1,000. It is due on the lst of January next; but as I shail not at that time have a dollar it is not worth anything. But if you will leave the date out then I will provide a central reservoir of coin, and when preparation shall bave been matured and the existing state of trade and credit operations are in con- formity with the course of foreigu commerce and the condition of the exchanges with other nations I will pay that note.” And the banker who would not ac- cept it with such an explanation will never cast his vote tor “TILDEN, HENDRICKS 4ND REFORM.”? Here he dweit on outrages coinmitted oa republican citizens in the South, and depicted tn graphic lan- guage the horrors that were being committed there by the democratic party. He then went on to say— We want reform in this country, and want it badly; aroform that will give to ua unintimidated and unim- erilied civil and political liberty ywhere; a re- form by which a man can vote in the most secluded part of South Carolina or Mississippt, as freely as ho cap in the most enlightened part of New York; a re- form by which every citizen can anywhere express his politieal opinions without intimidation and without peril; reform by which the common school shall te planted all over this republic, and sustained and sup- ported by the State, and in it every child, without re- gard to nationality or to race, shall be educated to a full appreciation and understanding of the priceless gift of American citizenship, and how intelligenily to wield it.

REFORM. Secretary Morrill’s Address to Wall Street Brokers. PLE. SHEET. AN EXTRAORDINARY SCENE. | Thousands of Business People Surround the Sub-Treasury. ener AT The call of the Republican Reform Club for a meet- to ve heid on the steps of the Sub-Treasury, Wall street, yesterday, was responded to with an entnusi- asm which crowded Wall street and the wide space ia front, stretching down Broad street, witn many of the best men of that financial eentre. Shortly before one o'clock a large procession of dry goods clerks, led by Grafulla’s band, marchea down from Broadway and drew up in front of the stand, The platform was oecu- pied by prominent Gnanciera, bankers and merchants in favor of the republican candidate for the Presi dency. Exactly at one o’clock, the hour named for the meeting, Judge Emott called the assemblage to order, and, after a ch of some length, tntrodaced Mr. Theodore Ruosevelt as the presiding officer of the meet- "ing. After some briet remarks upon the object of the meeting the President introduced the speaker of the occasion, Hon. Lot M. Morrill, SECRETARY MORRILL’'S @PBKCR. Mr. Morrill then advanced to the front of the plat- form and was gr d with enthusiastic cheers. He sald: Fellow citizens, this looks to me very like busines, and I feel disposed to congratulate the country that at length the business instincts of tho people hay ous of the impending danger. I hail it harbinger of that success which, in the providence of God and im the right and potency of the great cause which we advocal here to-day, to be our triumph early next week. (Cheers.) Here, now, 1U0 years {rom the glorious Dec- Jaration announced ‘upon this spot, which made our government guardian of human rights—standing here, op this ground, made sacred by the mauguration as first President of ihe United States, of bim who was first in peace, frst in war and first in the hearts of bis countrymen. (Cheers.) And now, here, fellow citi- zens, at the end of sixteen years of victory and tri- umph over rebellion and civil war and treason, the country stands’ redeemed, nationalized and pre- served, our credit second to no government on the face of the earth, Let us lift our hearts ter- vently to God snd give Him praise for the wonderful things He has done tor this favored land. (Cheers) Iam here to speak to you briefly, provided you lend me your ears; not from prepared thoughts, for the suddenness of your call and the necessities of Vigorous service in the canvass gives me no time to connect my thoughts in any logical way. The ques- tions whicu I will present in a desultory way before you are very simple; yy are open to all and familiar toall. What are these questions? What have be the questions before you for the last sixteen yea Elementary questions—all of them governmental quei tons —questions WHRTHER THR NATION SHALL LIVE OR PERISH. Time wiil not permit me to enter on these questions extensively. Let me state a single tact irom whish I will make a few observations. Sixteen years ago last March, when this party came into power in whose in- terests you are asscmbled here to-day, you had no national government; the country was torn asunder; seven of these Siates were in open rebellion, organized an independent government—a _hos: ernment witbin your jurisdiction. The credit of government was below par among the of Europe, . This nation of ours had natiouulity nor credit, peither What do you see to-day? All the potentates of the world have sent their am- bussadors here with their gifts to the Centennial to lay them at your leet and to do you honor. Your nation- altty ig asserted. It ranks as a first class power among the nat:ons of the earih; and as to its credit it is second to no nation in Europe or elsewhere. Then this being so wuat are the questions we have to deal with? If we re re-establisned our nationality; if our credit is all we can desire; what next? What is the trouble? Is there any doubt 1m the minds of any what should be done with the party that has achioved ail this? The old adage was, is and ever shall be, ‘Eternal vigilance is the price 91 liberty.’ It costa not less to secure liberty, to retain and preserve free institutions, thau to acquire them. Let me illustrate:— In the last sixteen years the American people have expended over $11,000,000,000 in maintaining and preserving the liberties and the national credit that ‘was supposed to have been organized on this yery spot a@ little more than 100 years ago. (Cheers.) My friends, our fathers supposed something had bocn achieved when our pational independence had becn won. Did they not? Do we not venerate the names and memories o! our Revolutionary tatners? But, to make good that Deciaration of ludependence for which they fought, to muke good that nationality and to make it mean something among the nations of the earth, it hus cost $11,000,000,000 of money in the sixteen years, Our opponents say we huve squandered agreat deal, Yes, we haye loved our country dearly; we have served it well, L think; and in that respect we defy contradiction, (Uheers,) To preserve it has cost blood and treasure, but it is worth all that cost. I repeat that to maintain @ government costs money, requires rare qualitications, requires endurance and’ persistency in Tight doing. THE COST OF THR GOVERNMENT since its inauguration is a little over $15,000,000, 000; ot that sug) you and me and the rest of us here bave expended $11,000,000,000 within the last sixteen years. But we have something to show for this enormous ex- penditure, We have a nation redeemed—(cheers)—re- generated, assured and reconstructed, so that it is now in fall and periect harmony with the glorious Declaration of Independence, a uation that means equal rights to all, & naluion whose flag is the symvol of equal protection under the Constitution and befure the law to all m {Appiause.) More than that, you have es- tablished the national credit and restored and assured public peace and public tranquillity. If any man desires to know how this money was expended from the time our army crossed the Potomac and entered rebol territory down to the close of the conflict of arma Jot him interrogate me. lf anybody 1s curious enough to know, auybody desirous to criticise even how that money Was expended, the next best thing that man or party can do is to drag the bones dead patriots who perished on Southern telus has reduced taxation and sinashed rings. All over the State are piacurded, upon barn doors and fences and deud walls, the statement that Governor Tilden has reduced our taxes $6,000,000. Our taxes are about $e x this year than they — w jast. That is truc, But that Governor Tilder reduced them, that is a lie. But then his friends say he smashed the ‘Tammany Ring and crushed the Canal Ring. There fs not # democratic editor from Matne to Georgia who has any hair left on the top ot his head, He bas scratched it all off in the wild effort to tnd words big onough and languago strong enough to describe how Governor Tilden has crashed these various rings. He pictures our graceful and slender old bachelor Governor as an old Soandina- Vian god, whose head pierced the clouds, and who swung a hammer with which he crushed mountains at wilh Now, when the Tammany Ring had been completely broken, and when its fragments were flying in every direction and could aeither bo discovered nur caught by adetective, this great champion sprang into the arena and swung bis big mace, and shouted ‘Show me the Tammany King!”” When, however, some mem- bers were caught and securely beld by thi firso 1 will dot jovernor the credit to say that he did pummel them soundly. The President of one of our largest jiroad eorpo- rations said to me that when Fort Sumter was fired upon, he, being then as now, democrat of the Jack- son stripe, met with other democrats of like senti- Meats to protest against the outrage. They decided to cull a pablic meoting at Union square, and invited the oo-operation of all the ieading membera of the demo- cratic party, Some of the commitice saw Mr. Bel- mont, who signed the call. Some of them saw Fernando Wood, then Mayor, who also signed the call. He went to seo Mr. Tilden. Mr, Tilden argued with hitn for hours that, inasmuch as tho government had no constitutional right to cooree a State, he could not sign such @ papér. This gentieman said to him, “You are making the mistake of your lite, and [ will see you again to-morrow morn- ing.” In the morning Mr. Tilden intormed him that be was, alter mature reflection, the more confirmed in his position ; and this gentleman leit him, saying, “The day will come when you will regret this more than ‘any act of your lite.” That day will be the 7th day of November next! The speaker concluded his adaress by contrasting the Itves of the two candidates during the trials of the country, and saying if you would have prosperity and and employmont and wealth you can secure them only throagh Hresident Hayes. Mr. Depew retired amid great applause, and the Chairman introduced Generai George A. Sheridun, of Loutsiana, who made a long speech that kept tho audience in roars of laughier from beginning to end. to be a political speeen, and wae jull 0, about himself, about demo- crats, and everything 0 ques- Wou he was supposed to discuss. The gentieman would make @ fortune as ny lecturer. The meeting adjourned, anda better entertained audience never leit the hall IRISH DEMOCRATS FOR MURPHY, The Irish democrats have issued an appeal to their brethren to support Thomas Murphy tor County Clerk, on the plea that he is an Irishman, aod that it | ts time that tho natives of the Emerald Isle mant- fesied « feeting of nationality, like the Germans, who | are united and wield a power only second to tne native American voters in this city, The appeal calle at- tention to the rejection of William R.

But of such was not the kingdom ot heaven by any means at all. (Laughter.) Instead of that and out of that came conspiracy, insurrection, civil war and devastatiug rebellion. (Cheers.)

The solid South to-day is the hope of the democracy ; it is the hope of the lost cause to day, as italways was. Now the significance of it is what’ (A voice, ‘Another robellidn.”’) Yos, that is it; incipi- ent rebellion, incipient insurrection, temding to dis- order throughout the South, disturbing the public tranquillity and demanding that the President of the United States shall seud the army of the United States there to keep and preserve the public ce, er] And sill they cry out peace, peace! just as they did at thg very moment they were ready to breuk out into no war, But, thank God, they have not the same opportunity. Thank Heaven the Ameri- can people have learned something in the late opera- tions, They are not ali Bourbons. That ts one of the troubles. You know what the rebellion did—what it achieved—the extermination of slavery; next was the eniranchisement of the slave. The rest was equal Fights before the law to all human beings forevor. (Cueors,) Out of these three distincs positions the prod- uct and {ruit of the rebellion, the work of the repub- lican party, comes the Southern question, What of the public credit?

We are all agreed aga party about that What does the democratic party say about it ? Mr, Morrill then read trom the democratic plat- form:—"Reform'’—Tilden and Hendricks. (Laugh- ter) J assure you, gentiemen, your laughter is uot out of time; it comes im well aud is very amusing. (Reads):—"Reform is necessary’ —necessar to what ?—*to establish a sound currency.”’ That ie somewhat too general, Reform is necessary to resto public credit.

Never was the Congress of the United States held to so strict ag accountability as it 18 now. What do the democrate say about the payment of the public debt? Not @ word. It will nos pay itself. I know what they think, What do we say? That the government will pay every obligation in coin of the standard value. (Cheers.)

A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Morrill with ac. clamation, after which the meeting dispersed, AN AMUSING INCIDENT. ‘A funny incident of the mevting was the attempt made by an enthusiastic democratic broker to draw off Secretary Morrill’s hoarers by improvising an op- position gathering in front of tne Stock Exchange, This onthusiast in the cause of Tilden and reform wae no less a person than Colonel Tom Morris, of the Old Guard, who, while Jadge Emott was still speaking and before Mr. Morrill had yet began, planted himself on the steps of the Stock Exchange and begam to barangue the crowd on the sides walk. He was supported in this attempt by other democratic brokers, The substance of Colonel Morris’ address could not be caught amid the generat noise and confusion, but this much could be heard, that he thought it was a gross outrage to allow federal buildings hke the Sub-Treasury to be used for partisay purposes, The crowd cheered lustily for Tilden, and the object of the democrats seemed to succeed, for sev- eral hundred of Judge Emott’s hearers came running over to see the side show, and there appeared to be a fair prospect of two meetings in Wall and Broad strocte—one for Hayes anu the other for Tilden. The cheers and cries of the Stock Exchange crowd, how- ever, did not please Mr. Morrill’s hearers. They sent tor the police, who dispersed ine crowd, thus compel- ling Colonel Morris and bis foliow speakers to ‘shut up.’? This ended the side show, and Mr, Morrill’a stray sheep now quietly returned to the fold in frout of the Sub-‘Treasury. whole side scene was only gotten up “for sport’’ and not to detract fromm Secretary Morrul’s powers of eloquence, **We aro good democrats,” said one broker who participated in the “lark,” ‘‘and if they cheer for Hayos in iront of the Sub-Treasury [ don’t see why we can’t cheer for Tilden in front of the Stock Exchange;” and he added, phos “Broad street don’t belong to Hayes, does it! i GERMAN REFORM MEETING. 33 ‘The German reform meeting was held jast night at No, 291 Bowery, Magnus Gross in the chair, “Resolu« tions were passed indorsing the national and State tickets, and regrets were expressed that the regular im- depéhdent movement of citizens of New York had miscarried, but under the circumstances as democrats, and seeing nothing left, such nomiations on the democratic county ticket as those of Smith Ely, Jr., for Mayvr, Jobn J. Freedman for Judge ior the Su- perior Court, and James P. Sinnott for the Marine Court, and other good nominees on the same ticket were recommended. Resolutions were also passed re- commending the indorsement of Major George W. Saver for Sheriff, and that while continuing within the democratic ranks they will persistently oppose any ring or boss rule as utterly undemocratic and tnjurious to the public welfare. The meeting then adjourned INDEPENDENT CITIZENS. A meeting of the Independent Citizens’ Committee was held yesterday at their headquarters, No. 168 Fifth avenue, Mr. Oswald Ottendorfer in the chair, when an address was adopted reciting the reasot ot their failure, advocating city elections ata tine separate from that for State and national electious, and fotating out the manner in which the Comp- troller’s office has been managed for the last ive years as a model for the whole of the city departinents, SOLDIERS’ AND SAILORS’ VOTES, It bas been generally accepted by the public that soldiers and sailors haying the rights to vote and being detained away without an opportunity of regis tering can cast their baliots ifat homo upon election day.
