OLIVER SUMNER TEAL.
much, but the theater could not DO rented
to the Republicans His exact words were,
according to Mr. Teall, Powers stronger
than we are notifying us by obliging US
to keep you out Of the theater
The owner of the Thalia is also owner
Of the Atlantic garden, and Tammany
men, according to Mr. Teall. threatened
to have the garden S license taken away
# the theater were rented to the Repub-
lioans
Mr.. Teall had no recourse to law be-
cause, as the meeting was to be free he
could prove no damages.
He Evolves His idea.
TO be sure. - he says, II the Republic
ans can make it as hot for tho owner OF
the Atlantic garden and the Thalia thea
ter as the Democrats could, but that is
another story
Then Mr.. Teall set his brain at work
He conceived the idea Of having mass
meeting all UP and down the Bowery in
stead of within the small confines Of the
Thalia theator. So he procured from Su-
perintendent Byrnes d permit for a pa
rade to start from Park row, Chambers
and Duane streets, to nova up Ir-k row
to the Bownry, 10 the Thalia theatcg,
there to hold 2 meeting, after which TO
move up the Bowery Co Fourth avenue,
to Fourteenth street, TO Union square,
west TO Broadway, to Thirty third street,
to Sixth avenue, TO Fourteenth street to
Third avenue. to the Buwery and there
disband. All this is to be on the goth, the
night the Tammnny mooting viii be held
in the Thalia.
Mr.. Teall snys that it is the intention
of the Republicans to march to the Thalia
theater show their lettor from the man
ager in which he said they might have
the theater and present a check for the
sum agreed upon for the rent. He thinks
the Republicans viii get in, and that Mr.
Depew will speak IN tine theater as orig.
inaily arranged.
Whether they get into the thenter or
not Mr.. Teall intends TO havo the largest
mass meeting ever before held. 1t will be
a mile long, and there will be $40 speak
ers. To accomplish this he has pre- empt-
ed every corner in the Bowory. 10 DO
more exact, he has obtained police pro
lection for trucks, each truck to hold an
orator. They will be placed at p street
corners along the great avenue Of the east
side.
"At Home ON the Bowery'
This means, said Mr.. Teall, that
the Democrats, if they get the Thalia
theater, will speak to not more than 8, 900
persons, whilo we speak to 100, GOO
The Democrats cant parade for we
have secured the approaches to the thea
ter and the chances are that they won c
have much Of an audience because tho
crowd will appreciate that the fun that
night will all bo out on tho street
SO confident does Mr.. Teall feel that he
has done q clever thing that he has en-
phasized it by going TO Tiffany and order
ing a large number Of invitations to be
engraved as follows:
The enrolled Republicans Of the Sec
ond assembly district at home on tho
Bowery Thursday evening, Oct. %, from
to 10 o'cloclz D. M. r. S. ". Pr
'R. S.V. P., said Mr. Tcall, means,
Remember seven very prompt These
invitations viii BE- sent to number Of
individuals and 20 all the up town organ
izations.
The police Mr. TEAL continued,
'would protect US anyway because we
have permission to parade along the Bow
cry, but superintendent Byrnes Is with
us, and we have Republican inspector,
Williams, two commissioners. and the
two police captains Of tho precincts in
which we move arc Republicans. %
VIII Inconvenience Mr.. Hill.
There Is one feature of the case that
Mr.. Teall says he regrets, and that is that
he and his parade must Inconvenience
Mr. Hill who is TO speak that night in
Cooper Union, and the Democrats who
will listen to him.
Down in Mr. DIVERS district, " said
Mr. Teall they fight us Indian fashion,
so Of course we must fight them in the
same way, but with Mr.. Hill and tho
Democrats Of the upper part Of the city
1t is different
There was ono more thing Mr.. Teall
thought Of That was a scheme TO check
false registration. After each day of reg
istration a list of those registered in the
Second district will be printed and copies
Of the list distributed throughout the dis
trict. The City club has offered 81, 600
reward for information that will convict
any one of false registration.
