New York, Oct s1.-This morning
Chaupcey N. Depew started in his private
car from the Erie depot in Jersey City on
a tour through the state to deliver a Sc
ries of speeches in support of the candid
ature of Levi p. Morton for governor. Mr..
Depew was accompanied by Col. Alex S.
Bacon. of Brooklyn, F. NJ Johnson.
Charles A. Ball Capt. Dickey of New
burg, y. B. Oden. chairman of the repub-
Hcan state committee. c. A. Newman of
Jersey and B. F Gilbert of Washington.
A large crowd was present TO see the
party off. The train consisted of three
cars, a baggage car, Pullman car, and
Mr.. Depew's own handsomely furnished
private car.
It rained heavily everywhere they went
but that did not prevent large crowds
from turning out to hear the witty doctor
Speeches were made at Suterne, Tur-
ners, Goshen, Port Jarvis, Sparrow, Bush,
Callicoon, Hancock, Deposit, Binghamton
and other points.
Gov Hill arrived here at o'clock this
morning, DTedhIdSIeu ana LOOK the S-lD
train on the Erie road for Port JerVis
He reached Port Jervis at noon, having
made one speech on the road at Middle
town.
At Port Jervis he spoke In the opera
house for an hour and a half, departing
Immediately afterward for Newburg
where he made another address tonight.
Gov. Flower started from Rochester
this morning and talked his way to Buff
falo. Like Mr.. Depew, he did not mind
little dampness and neither did the
people along the road, for good crowds
assembled to hear him at every station.
Even where no stops were made the gov
ernor was cheered as his train whizzed
past the crowded stations. He reached
Buffalo at 1:10 p. m, made a rousing
speech from carriage to a great throng
assembled at the depot and departed for
Dunkirk at o'clock. There he spoke
again
The hour fixed for the republican mass
meeting at Carnegie Music Hall tonight
was o'clock, but the fact that Levi p
Morton, the republican cadidate for gov
ernor, was to preside combined with the
additional attraction of ex-President Har-
rison as the principal speaker, attracted
tremendous crowd, which began to as
semble early $50 o'clock. By
o'clock the whole of Fifty-seventh street
from Seventh avenue half way toward
Sixth avenue was filled by an ever-in-
creasng crowd. At Z o'clock, when the
doors were opened, there was such a rush
that in less than FIVE minutes the hall
was filled from top to bottom, the small
force of police from the West Forty-sey-
enth station and various police courts
being utterly inadequate to cope with the
gathering.
After the hall was full the balance of
the crowd outside pressed forward and
those in front were carried bodily in. La
dies screamed, men shouted, and some
J.. l.1.1
until the aisles and every available inch
of room was occupied.
On the stage the chairs were all occupied
three-quarters of an hour before the meet
ing opened. except the front row, which
was kept clear for the prominent people
At the back of the stage were several
flags tastefuIly arranged around the pho
tographs of Harrison and Morton. The
decorations were pretty and well ar
ranged, but the accommodation was en-
tirely insufficient.
AS the time scheduled for the opening
drew near the crowd became impatient,
but the arrival of ex-Judge Noah Davis
created a diversion which kept the audi
ence good natured. He was greeted with
cheers inasmuch as the people in the
hall took him for Mr.. Morton, and he re-
ceived a rousing reception. The next ar
rivals of any prominence were Archbishop
Ireland and Bishop McGoldrick of Duluth,
escorted by Gen. James r. O'Berne.
After their arrival Mr.. George w. Ste
vens, who had charge of the meeting
introduced ex-Judge Noah Davis, who
made a short address.
Ex-President Harrison Levi p. Morton
and Charles w. Hackett soon arrived
Every one in the hall stood up and
cheered. Hats. handkerchiefs and flags
were waived. 1t was fully ten minutes be-
fore the cheering ceased during the whole
of which time Messrs. Harrison and Nor
ton were bowling right and left.
Mr.. Morton was chairman of the meet
ing and made a brief speech, confined
chiefly to introducing ex-President Har-
rison.
The ex-President was greeted with tu-
multuous applause when he stepped for
ward to make his address. The audience
cheered him again and again, both ladies
and gentlemen taking part in the enthu-
siastic greeting. Finally quiet was re-
stored, and Mr.. Harrison began his
speech.
This is a great meeting" he said. but
] think somewhat it is a very impossible
audience TO speak to. You seem quite
inclined to do your own talking, and you
are doing it ve-y well. (Cheers)
That gained him attention, and he pro-
ceeded, as he said, to Give you my views
as to the tendencies of the policies of the
republican party, which I believe to be
beneicient, helpful and patriotic and the
tendencies of the democratic party which
believe to be hurtful and destructive" q"
The democratic state committee has be-
gun to do some figuring John Boyd
Thacher said to-day that if Hill gets 10000
majority below Harlem river he will be
elected If New York, Kings. Queen, Suf-
folk and Richmond counties give him only
this majority his victory is assured MIR.
Thacher says he expects Morton's major
ity above Harlem TO be only 10000. SEN
ator Hill, he says. will get majority of
200 in Albany, and will poll big vote in
Syracuse.
These figures, however, do not agree
with those Of State Chairman Hackeit
OF the republican state committee, who
said to-day that Morton would come TO
Harlem with at least 10000 votes to
to spare.
1t was said at the democratic state
headquarters to-day that W. Bourbe
Cochran, who is stumping the state for
Senator Hill, had broked down and would
cancel his engagements il is said his
throat trouble has broken out again.
