THE NEW YORK MUDDLE THB MEETING AT COOPER UNION LAST NIGHT. Resolutions) Adopted Condemn ing tbe Action of the) Committee In Calling; the Mid Winter Cou-ventlou-A Large Crowd Present. New York, Feb. 12. There was held last night in the large hall of tbe Cooper union, a mass-meeting of democrats to pretest against holding a convention for sending delegates to the national conven tion on February 22, after only four weeks' notice. Long before eight o'clock, the hour set for opening the meeting, every seat and every available inch of standing room in the large ball was occupied, and many of those who were tardy inseekingentrance were unable to get in. Chairs filled the large plattorm, aud these also were occupied early. From 7.30 to eight o clock Uilmore s band entertained the large audience with music, and then Oswald Uttenderlor stepped forward to the speaker's stand and called the meeting to order. Ex-United States district attorney Walker offered the following resolutions, which were warmly applauded. Resolved, That this assembly ot demo crats of the city of New York now makes its respectful protest and appeal against tbe uncalled for and ill-advised action of the state committee in designating so early a date as Monday, February 22nd, for the meeting of the state convention which is to elect delegates to tbe national convention, appointed to be held;at Chi cago, June 21st, 1892. Resolved, That the right of the voters of a political party to assemble at the call of leaders who are its representa tives and servants, to carry out its will in regard to details of party manage ment, should not be curtailed in time, place or circumstances, in such a way as to limit or embarrass the genuine ex pression of popular feeling upon the question in hand: that such expression should be made in party assemblies upon subjects to be presently de cided at .as near a time to that wheren decision is reached as can be reasonably and conveniently appointed. Delegates should be fresh from the peo ple. No body of men elected to express the will of voters, assembled in party convention, should be for an unreasona bly length of time custodians ot voters' rights or hold their delegated powers for a period longer than is absolutely necessary for the purpose. Resolved, Peopleare justified in rsent ing any action on the part of party lend ers whereby their voices shall be sunpress ed or perverted. When tbe chairman called for the vote only about u dozen negative voices were heard. CONGRESSIONAL. What the Hons of Representa tives Did Today. Washington, Feb. 12.
