The Two Johns Harangue Their Constituents. THE BROOKLYN SENSATION Through rain and clouds and sunébino the canvass In tho Soveuth Senatorial district bas youve on unabated, and the Patroon Yau Scuoll and the Patrick O’Morris- Wy, a8 utterly diverae roprodentatived of vocial forces and traditions as ever met in the fleld of pulitica! con- troveray, maintain each, ia the avaliable vigor of bis faculties, the etruggie jor supremacy. Morrissey, with bis ion heart and franie, is prostrated from sick- ness, but balancing hie physical impairment against the age of his adversary both would appear to be on S nearly level piano, Morrissey is almost sixty years, Seneil is over seventy, so that where’ the one logos by Ulneas the other joses by age. People w saying yeaterday that in the mental measurement of the two m2 all allowances made for the lack. of opportonities for education on the one hand and the redundance of facilities for tho samo on tho other a line of average @rawn betweon them would place them very few do- removed, So jaro good; but then comes in @ potent question of social standing and antecedents. Thore the Tainmuny candidate undoubtedly has the jonings, Despite the rain the nts of Schell and Morrissey were actively abroad. The Morrissey peo- ple gave little heed to the report that a host of repub. cans, Dearly a thousand !n pumber, belonging tothe administration side in politics—otnerwise Hayes re- pablicans—had resolved to cast their ‘suffrages for Schell, 4 CURIOUS PHASE OF DISCUSSION. “That’s all @ kid,” observed @ Morrisey supporter, “Hayes republicans don’t amount to shucks, You Gould bay all them feflors with & keg o’ lagor anda bbx'o’icigers.” A Tammany map standing by shook bY head whon ho hoard this, and said:—-‘My friend, you make the biggost mistake of your lite. That’sa ginoowine thing. Don’t you know,” he exclaimed, jurning to a small audience iu tho neighborhood, “that I know somothiog about this matter?” Hero ho paused, and everybody shook his head in thé noga- tive. He continued in tbls strain:—“I’m an old rounder, (Universal assent to the statement.) I in. Bineored Hoss Twoed, (Looks of incredulity.) I’m the follor that made Joho Kelly what he i, (Winks of various interpretations) I’m the boy that put Gus Sehell in nomination fur Senatawr in the Seventh Sena-tort-al distreeck. (General unbe- Nef.) 1 know what I’m asayin, and thore ain’t any Botl-Tammany sfoozer hero around that éan say 1 hein’, (Ganoral silence.)

Jest so, Morrissey and a lot o bums wont into this thing on speculation, and they jest tought thoy’d ferch Tammany and Tammany dian’t Tetch worthacent Am Iright? (No reply.) Mor- tisscy thought he'd wag his flipper anotbor two years jn the Senate ana come down and be Mayor of New York, Am I right? (‘*No, you're wrong.’”) Well, how am Iwrong? Is that rooster goin’ to spend $50,000 to git clected State Senator ata salary of $1,500 & year Without he loons for somethin’ cise? is he ago’ up there for pothin® I'd like to know? (“for the public . good, perhaps,” answered a very modest listoner.) Oh, to bell with tne public good. We aint under. takers; we aint settin’ ourscls up for buryin’ tho dead. Understand? (Confused nods.) Morrissey carries om @ faro bank, don’t her erbaps he does.) Cam any man carry ona tard bank and not cheat? Eh? AmI right? Understand? D’yo hear? (Can avy man have two sides to nis character? Eh? 4Cries of “Go abead.”) Now you feilers begin io tumble to yerselves. Can Morrissey be a faro bank and a logisiator together? Eh? Understand? (*Why po Bocause the law don’t allow. The law says thas and #0, and itsays the gambier shall aot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. (Cries of “Git out!’ and ‘How about Beecher?” “iow about Blaine?” “How about the savings bauks gamblers?” “How about sue imsuranve gamblers?” ‘How about the trust pompany gamblers?” «How about all the gamblors in every kind of business?’’) You got me there, gentle- men; you are one too many for ne. Good might, MORRISHRY AS AN ANTIVYNOW NOTHING. In the anti Maalnke td headquarters a man with “srayielt beard delivered bimself iu these words :— “There ain*t much style to Morrissey,” said he, “bat he’s got a heap o’ borse sense.” I knowed him when he no more thought of bein’ a State Senator than of flyin’ ow angel wings. 1’m an American born ot Irish parents, but 1 didn’t amount to much when the wide-awakes was @ carryin’ tbings ali thoir own way in this city.

The chairman, Mr. Androws, it was said, had br home feeling unwell, and so a member of the jolegation asked what arrangemonts had been made lor their joint work on election day. Mr. Hart, chairman of the Executive Committes, stated that all the anti-Tammany democracy’sarrange- ments had been completed in each election district. Ale did nos see that anything could Lave been done for the gentlemen claiming to reprosent the independent democracy, as that organization had failed to iuifll ite agreement, 1a accordance with this doubt nothing was doue tor the geutiemen, and the committee adjourned anti Sunday afternoon. FOURTEENTM ASSEMBLY DISTRICT MEETING. The ratification meeting of tho supporters of the Fegular Tamniany ticket in tho Fourteenth Assembly district was attonded last night by a gathering which ‘Was a8 noteworthy in tho matter of numbers as in their display of cotbusiasm, The contest in this dia trict seems to wax exceedingly warm as the campaign progresses, and the friends of the rival candidates forthe Assembly dispiny more feeling than is ex- bibited jn most Of the local political Hghts this year, Last night a procession, with a fair display of pyro- techuice and tho inevitable campaign paraphernal preceded tbo meeting which was convened 10 the at the corner of Eleventh strect and First avenue and also upou the strect outside, where a platiorm, glow- ing with lamps and bunting, was erected. Sheriff Reilly pre lat the indoor meetin; ry Gillespie wie'ded she gavel on the outside platiorm, Luke Cozans, tho candidate for the Legislature, Ih a lengthy speech arraigned the anti-Tammuny party tor its identification with the ropublicaus, claiming that the ticket jommiy pat id nomination was a mongrel one, neither fis nor flesb, but atthe same time one that showed clearly how corrupt were the motives ot the anti-Tammany people and now shaliow were their retences of devotion to :he interests of democracy. Bhe combination of the two parties, Mr. Uozsans claimed, Was tho Frosult of an infamous deal by which the anti-lammany candidates pbarterod for tho Tepublicans’ support and virtually surrendered to thom all the advantages which would rosult from Success In the campaign. In confirmation of this he Folerred to tho necessity of the State going demo- cratic in order to scoure a representat'vo of that party th the national Senate, and ho ar, that the course of the aoti-Tammanyites was in the face of this issho extremely detrimental to the interests of democracy. Mr. Cozans was followed by Major Quincy, Colonel Gaul and various other speakers, who dealt prin- cipally with tho limitation of tho Iranchiso, but also mate some points sgaines Jatnes Daly, the rival candidate tor the Assembly, whose career in Ale bany, especially in stipporting the Convict Labot bill Gnd the contract system, they severoly criticised, 4 HESS RATIFICATION, Upward of one thonsand persons assembled Inst obing at the Germania Assembly Rooms, under the spices of the Maphatian Association, to further tne interests of Jacob Hoss for Register, Mr. Leo Schles- singer presiding.

DE WITT TALMAGE ENROLIS HIMSELY AMONG THE REFORMERS—A BITTER INVEC- TIVE AG\INST JOUN MORRISSEY—ALL NOT RIGHT EVEN IN BROOKLYN. Brooklyn Tabernaol Wor presented such a scone of uproarious laughter and applause as it did last night while the Rev T, Do Witt Talmage was delivor- tng bis lecture on “The Infamy of New York and Brooklyn City Politios.** Though brief, Mr. ‘fTalmago'’s discourse was bristling, Following is a verbatim port of bis remark. The momentous events of the week are the political contvsts now raging in New York and Brooklyn. Politics is the setence of governmont, and a rignt- eous politician is the noblest stylo of American citizen. ‘Theodore Frolinghuysen, of New Jersey, was a poll- tician; George N. Briggs, of Massachusetts, a poli- tictan; Bonjamia F, Butler, once Attorney Goneral of New York, an honored politician; and Jonn McLane, ot Unio, a politician; Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson, oi England, politics and if our city governments are evor $0 bo rodeemed all tho decent men and women of tho land are to become politicians, if the object of my lecture is accomplished these Christian gentlemen will let down thoir feet irom the partor ot- drop their crochet work and their polite litoraturo to kneel down and implore God’s mercy upon New York and Brooklyn. These two cities are one; whit Dieswes one blosses both; what curses one curses both. We nved not wait for the three bridges which will cortauly yet bind these two cities 1ogether. Tho Jorrybout, a8 is strikes now one sido DOW the other, Is unly the thump of One great heart, now on this silo, now on the other, This metropulis, standing at the gntes of this continent, wil! yot decido the moral und political dostiuy of the whole country. The most cneering phase of city politics on this and the other sido of tho river is that thero 1 po lowor depth to reach, (Laughter.) After anything has beon dend six wovks there is no danger of mortiication, Li there bo any change cflectod at all it will be in tho resurrection trumpet blown next Tuesuay by the honest men of these two cities, who honor God and are willing to put their foot hard down on munivipal wickedness, AN OVATION FOR JOUN MORRIBSKY, Our oataral politeness leads us first to mention the potitics on the other side, Talk of the noight of Trin- ity Chureh steeple} ibero’s something wigher than that im New York, Taik of $15,00Q0U0 spent in build- ing their new Court House! There is a worse in h famy than that, It is the overtopping towering fact that the most notorious of the United st could get the nation for the nigh office of State aod that many democrats and many re; ruggiing for his election.
