Vrooman and William A. Sutherland, the Repub
lican candidates for Governor, Lieuenant-Governor
and Attorney General interrupted to-day the ener
getic campaign they have been making in New
York City and Brooklyn for week past and re.
sumed their splendid canvass for votes in the in
terror of New-lork State, by making speeches at
Hudson and here in Albany. In both cities they
had magnificent receptions and their meetings were
attended by many thousands of voters They
all made strong speeches, such speeches that the
Republican vote in Columbia and Albany coun-
ties must have increased by them. No mon could
have had larger-sized audience than Mr.. Fassett,
Mr. Vrooman and Mr. Sutherland had in Albany
since lIarmans Bcecker Hall was crowded to
its doors by 5000 persons and thousands Of men
went away from the hall unable TO get into it.
Among the most interested auditors at the Albany
meeting were Mrs. Fassett and Miss Bender, the
niece of Mrs. Fassett who had come here from
Elmira expressly for the purpose of attending the
meeting
The Republican candidates departed from New-
York in company with Senator Sheard, of Herd-
mcr County, at 10: 80 q. m and journeyed
to Hudson, thirty miles south of Albany They
were met at the station by delegation Of Repub-
licans of Columbia County, among whom were
y.
Albert HoySradt, Dstrict-Attorney A. V. s. Coch-
rane and County Judge Cady. A Republican
mass-meeting was held in the Hudson Opera House
at p. m. There were $500 voters present Fas
sett, Vrooman and Sutherland were greeted with
great enthusiasm.
Mr.. Fassett alluded in the opening Of his
speech to the fact that T. c. T. Grain Chamberlain
of New-York, had made Tammany Hall speech
there the night before.

Tammany is doing In the government OF NewYork City"
Then Mr.. Fasett dealt this bow az Governor Hill:
''NOw, word with Governor Hill. At Madison Square
Garden last night he read alleged telegram from myself
Major Mckinley. in which quoted saying that
he could hope for help from in this campaign,
afraid to meet National issues or course

Hill himself might have, with far probability, have
indised this interesting message:

There were shouts of laughter as Mr.. Fassett
read this interesting telegram and then pro-
longed cheering. Then referring to Mr. Hills
claim that it was the Democratic Assembly which
lowered tie State tax rate to the lowest point
in thirty-six years, Mr.. Fassett said:

brought about this maryeousy low framed
