with young Carter Harrison, legatec OF his
father to tho Mayoralty of Chicago, as a drawing
GARD, tho campaign managers OF tho Wigwam
succeeded In attracting to Fourteenth street
last night something like an old-timo Tam
many crowd. 1t was really a big turnout,
and IL showed tho first enthusiasm seen
In or around Tammany Hall since the campaign
opened. Mr.. Croker was there and he appeared
TO be on excellent terms with himself and with
everybody else.
As soon as the wiGwam's doors were opened
the crowd began to pour in. By half past 8
the hall was full. with tho exception Of
the four front rows of seats. which had
been reserved for the Cook County Democ-
racy Marching Club. When these seats had
been filed, there wero probably 5000 persons
In the hall. Probably twice that number, fail
ing to get inside, listened to open-air oratory
from five different stands in front of the hall
and around tho corner in Irving place. Colored
fro. rockets, and all kinds of music kept the
throng in the street good naturcd when there
was nothing in the oratory to inspire en-.
thusiasm.
big Tom Brennan called tho indoor meet
ing to order. and introduced Charles Fl.
Knox as Chairman. Mr.. Knox used up his
time in donouncing Mayor Strong's administra-
tion. and declaring that the Republican party
had been responsible for all tho bad breaks in
that administration Mr.. Knox's closing words
were an Introduction of former United Statos
Ambassador to France James +. Eustis of
Louisiana.
Mr.. Eustis was received very cordially. He
did the best he could to make himself
heard above tho bands and tho fireworks
In the street. He partly succeeded. He
told how the Democratic party a few months
ago was distracted by divided councils
and how. in the "bewildering confusion" fol-
lowing the nomination of Bryan, Mckinley was
elected. He said the political situation has now
changed. and that having changed. there was
no reason why all Democrats should not
ret together. The Republican party" said he,
" In the ono that now awaits defeat II you do
your duty next Tuesday. Peace. harmony and
reconciliation are ess initial to the success and
supremacy of the Democratic party, and he who
now utters n discordant note is an enemy to his
party" ...

Presidential campaign, Mr.. Eustis said:,

Then he said that II one-half what he had
