Call TO Rally TO the Republican Standard.
Tho loyal Republicans of Brooklyn turned out
In thousands last night and. led by former
Mayor Frederick A.. Schroeder. who was ono of
tho original Low men, and on whom the Low
men have been depending for support, paid
homage TO Gen. Benjamin F. Tracy, tho Rcpub-
lican standard bearer. They welcomed him to
Brooklyn with shouts and chccrs. and they told
him, with greater enthusiasm, that BROOKLYN
stood solid for him, for good government and
for the principles OF tho Republican party, no
matter what anybody said. 1t was an audience
OF educated and refined men and women, and. al.
though they came only to welcome and applaud
Gen. Tracy and his cause, they treated the men.
ton of the names OF the other candidates with ST.
lence and respect until a gang of Low hoodlums,
that had packed themselves into one corner of
one OF the galleries, tried to make a disturb
ance. After that the mention Of the name OF
Seth Low was greeted with boots and bisses.
that sounded like the combined roar OF a rail-
road train and the Kissing of steam from an ex.
haust.
Tho Academy of Music was jammed from floor
to roof. The big corridor was full to overflow
ing. The three galleries were full almost to tho
danger point. The great stage was packed from
edge to wall, and packed with voters chock full
OF enthusiasm, too. In the crowd on the plat
form were Silas b. butcher. the old war horse Of
the Republican party in Kings county; Theodore
b. Willis. the younger but no more energetic
war horse; former Congressman Wallace, Bridge
Commissioner William Berri, William Haubert,
the candidate OF the Hon. Jacob Worth for Reg.
lister. and Walter Atterbury, who. with Mr..
Willis. aided in the defeat Of Mr.. Worth.
Gen. Tracy made his second speech OF the cam
paign, 1t was received with unbounded enthu-
siasm. He took occasion TO refer to the friend
ship that Mr.. Seth Low pretended to have for
him. a friendship that was all professiona and that
concealed a stab in the back. This part of Gen.
Tracy's speech was listened to with particular
interest and was greeted with uproarious ap-
plause.
The hour that interviewed between the OPEN
Ing Of the Academy Of Music and the beginning
OF the meeting was spent by the crowd in warm
ing up. and the "whats.the-matter" man was
on deck. So was the brass band. 1t was just 8
o'clock when Gen. Tracy arrived at the Acad-
envy. He was accompanied by Mr.. Schroeder
and Theodore b. Willis. lie entered at the
stage door. There was a mighty shout there
fully two minutes before he was seen BY the
people in the hail.
That shout was infectious. The crowd took it
up inside the hall and it swelled and grew until
when the General appeared 1t had grown TO q
great roar OF welcome. The audience was on its
feet. Hats and umbrellas were waved and the
men shouted until they were hoarse. Gen.
Tracy greeted those on the platform ard then
bowed to the crowd, which was q signal for a
renewal of the uproar and cheer upon cheer for
| the candidate.
Harry A. Hamburg called the meeting to order
and introduced Mr.. Schroeder as n sterling loyal
Republican. Mr.. Schroeder was greeted with
deafening applause. He made q speech showing
up the h%ollowness OF the Low campaign, and
setting at rest for good and all any question that
there might have been concerning his attitude
and his patriotism. 1t was greeted with applause
at every sentence. 1t was what the people
wanted to hear. Mr.. Schroeder first read tho
following letter from J. S. 7. strnnahan:

Hon. Theo. D. Willis:

After reading this, Mr.. Schroeder said:
