candidate for Leutenant-GOvernor, delivered ex-
cellent speeches at Auburn and at Syracuse at the
same meetings Arthur c. Wade, the Republican
candidate for Controller, was present at the Syra-
cuse meeting and received hearty welcome.
What was specially pleasing to the Republican
candidates was the large attendance at both meet
ings, showing the keen interest taken in the pres
ent canvass by the Republican voters The state
ment was made by veteran Republicans that never,
except in Presidential campaigns, had
there been such a large attendance at
political meeting held in Auburn or
in Syracuse. 1t is rarely that any attendance
at all can he secured for an afternoon meeting
In Auburn, and yet the Opera House was crowded
to it's doors on this occasion with voters. In

ton were still more apparent The large

5000 persons being present Mr. Fassett de-
parted from his home in Elmira this morning for
Auburn. At FallkirR he met by committee
