Presl- ddhtB n n le,on calling the meeting to order, con- ftatu lated the mombors on the result of the S t Ijoulfl Convention and tho victory assured by it for iho Democratic p a rty in the coming cam paign. .The Investigating Committee reported favorably on *weniy-elght oppHcatlona for m e m b e rship and ^ t e r s e l y on two, the applicants not being regls- ■ iered volers. The report was adopted.

J/OUls Conrontion, were unanimously adopted. Conntfelor Richard Bishop on the call of the Chair m ade a lengthy address. At no p eriod in Iho hla- lery of the Democratic party was there, ho said, a prouder moment than the present. It was unpre- oodentod th a t any convention assem b led to uamo A candidato for the highest omce I q the gift of the people of the United States shonld give Itg unanim o u s voice for tho election of one m a n a s h a d Just boon done lor Grovor Cioveland. The announcem ent of the result was choored by ' B,000 voices. Everylhlng boded success, and tho election o f Grover Cleveland might bo considered as a lready accomplished. Tho Kings County dele gates wore a n Im portant factor In the work accom plished, Tho Domocrailc party was like a ship launched, well m anned and under good g u idance, Hteering s traight for the national harbor, while tho 'Hopubllcan party, Blaine having declined to take the h elm , was a ship that had run ashore in tho dark, a n d there was nobody to get her oH. [Ap plause.] T h o G r^ndO ld Party would now havo to ' come down on its k n e es; the result of tho 8 l Louis donvonRon h a d struck, it wUh terror. Tho Kepub* licans could now see th a t there was no chance for them in this.race. Grover Cleveland, although he was haraporod by Civil Service Reform, h a d proved him self an able, honest a n d faithful ofllclal, oucl overy Democrat was 80 well satisfied with h is course that tiio uni versal d esire was th a t he should bo ro-eleciod. Bo had m apped out a policy which comnioodod Itself to every good citizen; be had proved him self tho friend of tho working class; he was for the greatest good to tho greatest num b er. Ingalls had faith >>tlU in tho bloody old shirt, hut the rod bandana would 80 completely wipe It out th a t its obscura tion would b e forever. [Applattse.] Mr. S d w ord S. Rowan, a p p a rently a b o u t 80 years old, iutiTiduaed by the c h a ir m a n a s a young m an, , n e x t spoke. He said. M b . C hajrmak awd P b h . ow D euocb . its ov tub F iftbbntii W ard —I am in an anom alous posiiiou. I have been characterised a s a young man. Well, 1 propose with all the energy of my nature a n d a s a young m a n b UU to stand up for the principles of Thom as Jefferson as I did over forty years ago. [Applause.] Tho principles which should govern our party aro tho principles of that g rand apostle liberty. [Groat cheering and applause during which tho old m an whipped oS his coat, threw it behind him. and appeared In his shirt slcevbs, justifiably, too,, for the room was intolerably warm.] I w i l l 't e l l you a little auecdote. I m e t the o ther d ay a German woman—a Democratic German woman. On hearing th a t Cleveland bad been renom inated ahe said: “ I have an old Fritz and six young Fritzes and if 1 know that Grover Cleveland was going to bo olectad agsin I would h ave had a dozen Frltzes. [Laughter a n d a p plause.] . T h e Republican party is in a s ta te of dis integration a n d decay. There Is not boodle enough to galvanize it back Into life. Blaine h a s cast his an chor to tho windward of S alt River. [Laughter a n d ^ p l a u s e . ] ' No m a tter whom tlio Republicans may nominate wa will elect Cleveland a n d Thurm a n . 1 am not a Spiritualist like Judge Dalloy, but I do think Just now that I hear the voico of Thom as Jefferson shouting from tho grave, *‘By tho E ternal, ypu m u st elect Cleveland and T h u rm a n .” [Tro- m endoui a pplause.] Hero Mr. Rowan recurred to tho question of ^ t e a ^ ^ h t a The Democratic p a rty had, he said, been called a States’ rights partyx But in 1836 and s^'oe then m any prom inent Republicans had avowed themselves in favor of Stales’ rights, a n d ^ates^ rights formed one of td-O fundam e n tal prin ciples on which the party was built up. Even Judges elected by the Republican party had recog- . n lzed these rights. A inaa who denied these rights W as.false to tho ConsUltutlon. All powers not specially delegated to the Federal Government bo- longed to the State Individually. The speaker con tinued: 1 did a ll i could In Mississippi to d e feat Jeffersoa Davis and we oioctod General Foote. I did not care for Jefferson Davis and would not havo grieved ' b a d he b e en banged to a sour apple tree. * « * Dnt to think of this man Ingalls assailing tho repu- UkkiOD of the illustrious d ead—Hancock a n d McClel lan—with the venom of a viper, tho Instincts of a leoundrjei a n d the dialect of a blackguard. (Tre mendous applause.] Against RepubUcaas in gen eral I have not one word of reproach to utter. Among them aro good mon—men of intellect and culture. I recognize the fact that it is good and hooUby* for tho nation th a t wo should have two parties. I a m net one c f tiioso who appre.houd dan ger from tho success of either p a rty, but I cleave to the party of Thomas Jefferson. [Emhuslosilc ap- plausa] In reference to the tariff question Mr. Rowan said: We propose to do away with the trusts syudl- catos and V‘combinss” of the Goulds and Vander bilts—to take taxes off (he necessaries of the poor man, so th a t his wife shall not havo to pay for a taxed blanket, while the millionaire can purchase ontakod diamonds. In a private circular to Repub licans Mr. Foster shows that the protection has been bonefitiug the m anufacturers. But tho Dem ocratic party cannot be said to favor free trade. The real advocates of free trade a re to be found in the Hopubllcan party or in 't h e lunatic asylum . W h a t theDem ooratlc p a rty want Is a reduction of tho s u rplus; they a re opposed to contrailzatiou of government; they want homo rule, [.\pplauso.] The American people to-day are ground to d u s t by the present iniquitous tariff, which m akes a distinc tion in favor of tho rich and against the poor. ■ (Cries—T h a t’s sol That’s sol] Tho s p eaker here showed tho Inconsistency of tho Republican party by referring to General Grant, H enry Wilson, President Garfield a n d other lead ing Kopubllcana who had spoken in favor of free trade. Referring to General Butler a n d his unroa- eouable expectation that tho Democratic party should take him up, he s a id: ^'If 1 were a chicken and 1 knew that Ben was a round in tho neighbor hood I ’d roost p retty high.” Air. W illiam A. Doran said: AIR. CHAIU3IAN AND G kntlehen —It Uas not been m y privilege to attend your moetluga very fro- quontly of late, but 1 imve come h e re to show th a t however wo may differ a s to tho m a n n e r in which tho association should be conducted, we should all be united In the effort to secure the succbss of the nomination.H m ade nt Su Louis. [Applause.] Those nominations should receive tho unqualified support of overy m a n who bears ibo honored nanio of Democrat. Tho n o mination of Grover Cleveland is in overy sense a safe one. He did his duly and Is receiving h is reward. Tho utiaulinity with which it h a s come to him is soinotbiug unprocoaonted in the history of the Democratic p a rty .' On tho sam e ticket with his is the nam e of Thurm a n , over hon est, faithful and true—the personification of a ll that is noble in American manhood. With such a ticket It behouvois us to roll up such a m ajority on Election d a y a s will rolegaio o ur opponents to ever- lustiug obscurity. [Applause.] On motion of the secretary it was resolved th a t a special m eeting bo held on W ednesday .next to form ally ratify the nominations of Che SL Louis Convention. A resolution offered by Air. Rowan indorsing David B. lilU for Governor was also carried aud the m eeting adjourned. T h e F i f t h W a r d i n i J n e .

As It. w as the first m eeting since the S t Louis Convention a good deal of Interest was m anifested In the proceedings. The association which seems, from the a p p o rtionm o n t of offices since tho g a n g g ot control of the m unicipal government, to be In d isfavor with the Trust, was the first to m ake preparations for tho Presidential cam paign. Two m o n ths ago a resolution was adoptedand a committee appointed to organize cam paign c lubs a n d uniformed compaules in each dis trict of the ward,and the result Isat p resent a p p a rent in tho solid front which the Democracy of th e ward now p resents. The o pen door system , too, adopted by the association has popularized it a n d the Labor elem ent of tho board, which left tho party in the pM t few years, has now liko tho prodigal son ro- tiiraed. Last n ight there were over 250 proposition* aud 400 m en had their nam e s enrolled, so th a t iho m em b ership a t p resent Is a b o u t 3,400. President Thom as J. Patterson, in calling the m eeting to order, said th a t it was gratifying to the Democratic h e a rt to see such a largo gathering. It dem oustrated that the people were alive to their interests a n d that the nomination of Cleveland and T h u rm a n m et with their enthusiastic approvaL The DemocraUc ticket would be trium p h a n tly elected next November. [Applause]. Secretary J a m e s H. Tally n e x t read the nam e s of 250 candidatoa Justice Thom as J. E e n n a offered the following resolutions: Resolved^ T h a t the Fourteenth Ward Democratic Association hails with euthusiastic delight the m atchless uom inations for President aud Vice President of the United States m ade by the Nation al Democracy in convention a t tho City of St. Louis. Tho plain citizon, unselfish Democrat and enlight ened siatesm a o . New York’s latest a n d u naurpassod gift to the service of tho Uniou, Grover Cleveland for Prosidouc, and tho rugged, earnest, honest, lovable old hero of a hundred battles fought in the interest of tho Democratic p a rty a u d its principles, Alien G. Thurm a n , of O'nio, for Vico President, make a ticket whicii warms the hearts of ail Demo crats and all citizens who desire a continuance of solidly good national adm inistration aud present prosperity. With such glorlons candidates victory overwhelming a n d perm a n e n t is assured. Resolved, T h a t we most heartily liidorso these nominations and promise our b rethern of Brooklyn aud Kings County that the Foui’teonth W ard, with a cam pugu club in every election district in ac cordance with Francis Nolan’s resolution of two m onths ago, will strain every n erve to surpass the banner m ajority of 2,710 given for tho St. Lonls nominee of 1875—the illustrious Samuel J .

In moviug for tho adoption of the resolutions. Justice Konna .said : , M r . CffAiRMAN—In moving tho adoption of these resolutions it is not my p u rpose to attem p t the iu- fiictloQ of a speech upon this crowded meeting, be cause there is a large am o u n t uf work to be done by tho secretaries in onrolUng now m em bers aud, also, for the reason th a t I belioro organization thorough ond complete should precetlesp-'ochmak- Ing. Organization. In every olociiou district, as pro vided for by tho N o I oq resolution of m onths ago, is the first step to bo taken In the grand m a rch wo a re about to begin, and ond only with the eunset of tho November election day in a sweeping ami lasting victory for o u r cause. Lot tho note of preparation for tho frooman’s tray bo Bounded In every corner of our old Democratic stronghold, aud when the w o r k islairly under way wo shall Invite and will have with ^ s diatinguUbed Democrats from other wards, other cities aiid other States, who will talk to us forcibly, oloquontly and truthfully of and on the issuos of the cam paign. However, ] cannot refrain from calling to mind and to tho attention of my fellow Democrats the fact th a t a fter throe years and more ot Dompcratlc ascendancy the groat Republic of tiio United Suites cau c all upon Uie n ations of tho world to look upon this broad laud and see she sun shining ever since upon the moat properous, happy and coatented people u n d e r God’s blue vault. But four y e ars ago when we uominated our candidates for Prosidonk aud Vico President thousands upon thousauds of o a r fellow citizens iu the commercial centers a u d in the m anuracturiug districts voted a g ainst them be cause they feared a n d honestty believed that Dem ocratic victory iu the nation would result lu pros tration, if not ruin, of trado, financial panic and lasting injury to industtial interests. Tho wise, economical a n d sincerely h onest m anagem ent of the Democratic Adm inistration with the natural pros perity of a il o u r people following thereon has for ever doomed that g host, has eomplutely dlspollod that'fcar, and tens of thousands of business men aud workingmeu who opposed us tbeu will join hands with ns this y e ar a n d do bravo battle with us to p e rpetuate Democratic government in tho coun try. Another lai'go and largo h e a rted bodyuf men, and they a re tiio countrym en of uiy father, feared for some mysterious reason that prejudice to those of foreign birth lurked somewhere in Democratic victory. The history of this Adailnistratlon. shows iiow unfounded was th a t foolish fear, and if any there be w h o y e t outertaiu a panicky doubt about the broad American spirit aud liberality of the Democracy a n d its standard bearers lu that regard lot them look a t the fact that tho patriotic Patrick Collins was u n auim o usly called by every delegate lu tho g rand convoution a t St. Louis to preside over its deilborallons, a s h o did with every g raee of toiiguo and a ction c h aracteristic of h im as of the race from ' which he comes, and let them as well pojidcc, the effect, tho honest,, liberal and truthful effect, th a t tho n am e of Grover Cleveland was foceived with the most unbounded enthusiasm as It was pro nounced by the lips a n d tongue of th a t great and eloquont o rator, the peer of any in the world, the Hotu Dauiei Dougherty. But, sir, I a m not k eeping my promise n o t to make a speech. W hen the blood warms in a good cause tim e Is forgotten and labor seems light. Again we organize aud again we will elect for President a nominee of a St. Louis con- ventiou. This time, unlike then, we will reap the fruits of the victory we shall win. Never again will fraud a n d violeuce trium p h over the fa i r face of this Republic. Right and justice for over more under honest and hartfolt, patriotic Democratic government will prevail in overy State from Alaiuo to California a u d from tho chain of inland seas at the North to where the w.aters of the m ighty .Missis sippi find rest in the Gulf of Mexico. To work then and at once and with a ll the energy tho Lord of a ll vouchsafes to us, and again w\U the baUlo scarred but h o norable and proud banner of the Fourieonth W ard Democracy flow victoriously far in tho ad- vaoce and higher and more gloriuusiy than it did even fn the m emorable a n d soul s tirring c am p aign Of 1876. Ex-Assemblyman P. H. McCarron said in sub stance that the present national cam p aign was the first one in m any years inwlUcU dishonesty in the public service would not e n ter a s a factor Iti deter m ining Its result, for no charge of corruption or a combino could bo brougiit against tho present Democratic A dministration. It was not tainted with whisky o r o ther d ishonest rings. The effect would be made to force the tariff a s an Issue and they wore prepared to m eet It squarely. Tho Democrat ic p a rty was not in favor of free trade but it stood up for a revision of the tariff us it would benefit the bUHlness man aud the workingman. They favored an oxten.slun of trade not to orippio labor but to give J/ibor a largo field of employment.

How touching are the efforts of the paroiics and of' tho brothel's and sisters aud of sym p athizing friends to attract and to please tho lUtlo ono. And bo this blessed work of home sociability goes on-until the field is e x te n d ed, when Uio c h ild begins to enjoy the sociability of tho school and of the uoigbboriiood and of the church a n d last, not least, of great m o ther nature, where God speaks to the child, to its heart aud Its Imaginatiou through the glories of the sun, the moou, (be stars, Che clouds, (he lakes and the rivord, the trees a n d the flowers, a n d through the ianuiucrablo host of happy, living creatures, tho tnm e a u lrualsof tho housohoid and the untam e d anim a ls of th e forest aud plain, the dancing squir rels, the twittering birds, tue^hummlng insects, the sportive fishes.

In my own case I cau hear witness to the fact that this m a rked social elem ent was what first a ttracted me to Plym outh Church— time was the bait by which, this flali was caught.

And the sam e credit Is d u e to tho auporlutendouls aud ofllcors aud teachers of our Suuday schools and misslous. Everywhere you feel th a t you are wolcoino, and that they m ean it when they say “ Make yourself a t homo.” I t Is, aftoi all,only a n o ther variation of the theme, wliich I shall n ever tiro to speak of In term s of adm iration and g ratitude: Tho kind, generous, sociable disposition of the Ameri can, m.an or woman, toward the s tranger, wherover he may hail from.

The reason th a t they don’t m ake goods th a t are m anufactured in foreign countries . h e re is because it 'does not pay thero. They'can turn their h a n d s to moro profitable employmoot. TTiere ls not an individual of my acquaint ance in ithis city who has as m u ch as $5,000 In money lu bis possession a t any one time. Did you ever stop to tbink of that 7 Tbere is not a bank in (lie country that could stand a ru n for solid cola even to a Bpaall percentage of th e am o u n t of Its capital and deposits. Deposits in banks and w b at is g enerally recognized as money are nothing more than an exchange of goods from one to tho o ther througbouc tho country. Stop this exchange a n d you.put a n end to labor. Tho state- .m eut Is made th a t ready m ade clothing is a s cheap in this country a s ih E n g laad. If this is so it only proves th a t the (ariff la a burden, because these . m a n u facturers have to stand vho b u rden ot the tax and at the sam e tim e compote with foreign m a n u facturers—having, too, to p a y 59 p e r cent. more for the m a terial and 50 p e r cent, more for labor tn tnakiug up. W here does proteotiou help you.' there? The reason th a t the American laborer m akes more than his foreign neighbor is hecau-^e he is more skillful and turns out more goods. W herevor tha laborer receives the highest wages he produces more. The wages iu Brooklyn are roally larger In p roportion than iu a lm o st a n y por tion of the country. Carpenters here in re ceived a n a v erage of $700 a year, while lu Pough keepsie. only a tew m iles away, tho average was only $372 a y ear. The average wages in England were not lower than those in Poughkeepsie in tho eam e line. Carpenters wero taken from this city tO the country where they were pu t to work by the Bide of country carpenter^, who received n o t more than half their pay. Why was th a t? Simply be cause they were more skUlfuL The reason a man is a pauper Is th a t be la §11 thum b s and is nnskill- ful and unable to Compete wUh h ts dextorous com panions. Mr. J a r rett, in reply, said th a t he didn’t think he would have m u ch trouble in answ ering hla pre decessor. He added: In the first place he says th a t wo p revent foreign, era from lauding their goods hero, a t tho point of tho bayonot o r with guns or som othing of that sort. This I think Is tho most foolish argum e n t I ever hoard. The wages of tho workmen wore Dover advanced by such argum e n ts a s he has put forth. I don’t behove the tariff is a “ c u re all,” any more than I believe a m an cau go to heaven by sim p ly reading the Bible. The tariff is for our protection, for the protection of o u r m a n u facturers and our labor, and not for the rest of the world. We have a ll wo can do to a ttoud to o u r own m atters. I was a workiugmau for over twenty years a n d there fore think I am able to speak on the subjoct of wages, otc. Mr. Shearm an spoke of tlievnst re sources of o u r c o u n try and tho poalllve evil Of leav ing them undeveloped and going to f ^reighers for w h a t wo can produce ourselves. Mr. J a r r e tt saldic was better to purchase the products of home lunnu- facturo, even 'at a far greater price than tho same could be purchased for from forolgnora. The Pro- tectiouist believes in taking tho duty off of wool and cotton a n d placing ft on tea and coffee, in allowing all raw'mUterlal to come into the country free of duty that-cannot bo produced bore. T h a t Is p ro tection. lie said that any workingman who bo- longed to a trade union and believed in free trade was a n inconsistent m a n and should be kicked out. 1 w ant th a t statem e n t to go into p r in t [Groat cheering.] W liatw e w a n t is a oomplute poUtical economy of our own.

Mr. Leviaon had a working model of hla Invention to IJIuetrate the ■paper. ThisJa what ho road: The c am era that i have the honor of presenting to-night Is p robably the first ever oonstruoted for taking a num b e r of pictures in rapid succession on separate regular d ry plates, a n d It was m a d e over a y e a r ago. As It la chiefly m y own work it Is want ing in accnracy ot construction, y e t I am able to exhibit a s e t o f pictures selected from several trial sets, which show th a t w h e n ,carefully, constructed the c a m e ra will o p e rate adm irably. This particu la r s e t of p ictures shows Mr. Edgar J. Taylor throw ing a stick upw ard and catching It by the other end, a ll those p ictures being taken during the ex cursion of the stick. In this cam e ra 8 ^ by 4 ^ plates a re used. They a re c arried In c o m partm ents on a polygonal wheel, which is c aused to move on- wal*d a n d rest by a peculiar screw motion, a u d at eaoh rest an electro m a g n e t, a ctuated by a suitable battery, operates tho shutter and exposes the plate, then In p roper position before the lone. The plates m a y be changed In full sunshine by the method employod iu the Brainerd hand cam era. As the o bject of proaentlDg this m a tter to-night is m erely to a nnounce th a t such a cam era has been constructed a n d pictures taken with It, Its details of construction nood not be m inutely d escribed. In teklng trial sets of plcturos twelve plates m ight havo been used, bu t three were considered suffi cient. I constructed this form of c a m e ra to employ plates to afford Mr. J. AL Cornell a m eans of m a k ing certain physiological studies, and also for certain astronom ical work in which paper or a film, owing to Its expansion and con traction, would hardly be appreciated. But the m echanism em p loyed to drive tho plate carrier In this model could be applied, a s shown In the drawing, on tbo screen to operate a continuous strip of paper or a film carrier and by a simple modification of the contact switch the shutter m a y be o p e rated indefinitely. W ith a c a m e ra thus con structed a series of plotures, lim ited only by the length of the seneltlve paper, m ay be taken. If taken at the rate o f 12 p e r second, which is a speed that the m echanism will p robably p e rm it, a s m any as43,209plcn«r63 would be obtained pot hour by the c am era thus m o dified The Eastm a n paper la now, 1 am Informed, furnished In rolls, affording 100 pictures, which is, p e rhaps, as m any a s a u y applica tion of the c am era ot p resent projected would re quire. At least, i t i s ouough to develop a t once by the present m ethod of development. This cam e ra is p e culiarly a d apted for taking series of picturea of objects moving vertically, such a s acrobats toss ing balls in the a ir, by m eans of which pictures the sam e motions c an be reproduced iu the zoelrope o r the zooptaziscope. Tho apparatus employod by Mr. Muybridge was n o t a d apted for these subjects, but it seems that he has lately turned his attentiou iu this directiou. for h e has suggested to iMr. Edison th a t a c am era oi this k ind c an be used to photo graph the g e stures of a speaker, whilo a t the sam e time a phonograph would record his speech aud afterw a rd, by a combluation of the phonograph and zoopraxUcope, the speech can be repeated and at the s a m e lim e the action of tho speaker can be - r e produced upon the screen. Tho cam era I havo de scribed would take the photographs noceseary for this p u rpose.
