date for Governor, Jacob Sloat Fassett to-day
opened the third week of his campaign In the
interior Of the State. with strong speech in this
city upon State issues The County OF Oswego
is one of the banner Republican counties In the
State. and therefore, when it was announced that
Mr. Fassett intended to make a speech in the City
of Oswego there was a general expression OF
desire to hear it.
Oswego City tonight is crowded with hundreds
of Republicans from elsewhere who have como
here TO attend the mass meeting. The opera mouse
in which the meeting was held was crowded IN
every part long before the meeting was to DE caied
to order, and several thousands of people who
sought admission TO it were necessarily excluded.
Mr.. Fassett came here from Geneseo this morning,

candidate for Lieutenant-Governor. The two
gentlemen had been enjoying over Sunday the

cession through the streets Of Oswego by the
Republican clubs of Oswege County
AT the hall Mr. Sloan WAS elected chairman Of
the great mass-meeting, Mr.. Sloan, upon taking
the chair, made an excellent speech, in which he
declared that the great issue of the campaign
was whether the Tammany Hall organization
should be permitted to control the State as it

men experienced in State affairs and highly COM
netent TO fill the offices for which they had been
