people gathered in the Grand Central
Palace last night to hear W. Bourke
Cochran speak in support of the Re-
publican candidates.
Mr. Cochran was applauded when he
made his appearance on the platform
inside the large hall. The ovation he
received was as noisy as any ever given
in Tammany Hall.
Mr.. Cochran began:
THE death of Mr.. George has intro
duced a new complication into this
campaign of many changes and per-
plexities A great figure has fallen. a
great shadow enwraps this town. The
fierce notes Of contention are softened
by the tones of sorrow. One of the
most conspicuous opponents Of the can
didate whom I support has been laid
low by the hand of death. While we al
condemn his theories, we all respected
his virtues. (Applause.) We opposed
his platform, but we confess his sin
cerity. (Applause.) We have assem-
bled tonight to do battle against the
doctrines which he preached, but be-
fore We proceed with the business Of
the evening We pause an instant TO
pay tribute to his memory. (Applause.)
Honest men, patriotic citizens. know
how to respect the virtues and courage
of an opponent.
If either Van Wyck or Low is elected
the delegates from the Empire State
win go to the National Convention sup
porting a re-adoption of the Chicago
platform.
Already every State in the Union
and every city and county in every
State, except Maryland, has adopted
resolutions reaffirming the revolution
airy programme of Chicago and pledg-
ing once more allegiance with Bryan"
TRIBUTE FROM DIR. MGLYNN.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30-Rev. Dr. Nc
Glynn pays this tribute to the late Hen
ry George:
Il do not think that it is merely the
enthusiastic language of a devoted
friend to say that, as the Providence of
God raised up a Washington 10 be the
father of his country, and endowed him
with such gifts and gave him such ex-
periences that we might we'll believe
that without them the republic would
not have been achieved; as in a similar
Lincoln were so plainly provided that
none but men with little faith in God
could doubt that he had been prepared
for and sent upon a mission by the
Father in heaven. So Henry George,
by his extraordinary gifts and career,
showed that he was marked by the
providence of God to be a foremost
leader and teacher in the work of the
emancipation of the masses of men
everywhere from an Industrial slavery
too often worse and more CALLING than
mere chattel slavery, and to hasten
the coming and to perpetuate the du-
ration not merely of a larger and more
perfect union Of States. but Of the COM
nonwealth of the United States and of
the world
We'll shall it be for us Americans
if we shall not be recreant to our op
portunities, and if the masses of the
American people shall accept the teach
ings of Henry George
IF the wondrously beautiful philoso-
ply of Henry George shall not be ac-
cepted in practice, later generations of
Americans. il not our own generation
viii surely be doomed to see the op-
pressed, brutalized by their poverty
and enthrallment, rise up to vengeance
and perhaps use such unwise and ah-
horrent measures for the rightfng of
their wrongs, that on a larger scale,
much greater numbers of men might
more than repeat the horrors of the
French revolution
a HERO AND A MARTYR.
