Ex-Alderman Peter Seery was chosen chairman, and be avnounced that because of Mr. Kelly’s pressing eogagoments at ether meetings he Would spvak immediately. As Mr, Kolly stepped upon the platform he was again cheered, ‘The question which most intorests the masses at this moment,” he said, no doubt the economy of government. Nothing is more important in this contest than the choice of a proper chief magistrate— ® man who has not only the ability and the honesty, bus also a sufficient will of bis own to determine what he ought to do, uninfluenced by any person, and always bear- og in mind that he is the servant of the people Sucba man is the Tammany candidate for Mayor, the best who has ever been presented for the suffrag: of the democratic eitizens of Now York. He 18 unpretentious, There is no show about him. His habits and manners are perfectly pinin.

FINAXCES. Mr. Kelly then reviowed the financial history of the city fer the past eighteen yoara, The working Classes were deeply interested in this subject, as they were indirectly taxod for the expenses of the government, which really wore defrayed from their pockets. He was glad to say that the budget for the expenses of the government for the mext year had already been made up and in it a ree duction of $800,000 had been made, These burdens ‘weighed most heavily en the poor, and now that they were being lessened it was well that they sboula know that if the democratic contro! were @ontinued they would be still further ies- esened. The grand total reduction of debt Qnd taxation under the present Comptroller was $7,401,190, and the reduction of expenses in the gov- ernment was $1,538,455, The reduction ot valuation from 1876 to 1877 was nineteen percent.
