DEMOCRATIC VICTORY is SURE
Rafting Speeches Made by Several
Noted Politicians.
EXc0RIATI0N OF REPUBLICANS
Thomas F. Grady on Tactics of
Theodore Roosevelt.

At the recent ratification meeting of
the Democrats of New York, held in
Tammany hall and attended by $4,000
cheering voters, the principal speakers
we're ex-Gov Campbell, of Ohio, and ex-
Senator Grady, of New York. The fol-
lowing report is taken from the New
York World:
When the bald head of James E. Camp
bell, former governor of Ohio, appeared
at the speakers table, the audience was
prepared for something good. Before he
had done the great hall rang as it only
rings when the voices of the eloquent
speak words of truth.
Mr.. Campbell gave his hearers their
first thrill when he referred to the wild
West Show" which the Republicans were
running, and wondered why it was that
the administration sent one colonel home
to run for governor, while it kept an
other solonel, whose services were not
needed. IN Florida, while the president
stumpeA 1t through his state.
There came a deeper thrill when he
told OF 9b3 gallant Goth going out call
Republicans" and the shattered list
coming in.
II saw 300 march. and 100 ride But
where are the rest? God and the admin
istration only know!'
And then with caustic fire, which
brought tears in many eyes, and which
elected the widest enthusiasm, he prom
ised that in 1901 the Democratic party
would answer the problem.
Fierce and furious was his attack upon
the whitewashing investigation of the
war department, and the corruption
which this war had brought out. Not
until the Democrats took office could the
truth be known.
Mr.. Campbell was greeted with cries
from the gallery.
How about the silver question:"
THAT is all right" replied Gov. Camp
bell. n want to talk to you about re-
form and the reform movement In your
city. Those gentlemen started to reform
the city, and they carried it on in their
own style. have read every day about
the doings Of the reformers. Every day
the papers OF the city have contained the
descriptions of the steals of these reform
ers. If they could not find anything else
as an excuse, they would sort over some
old papers and charge hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars for the job.
'"They started Wild West show zap
/. plause and laughter), and it is not half
SO good show as the one l saw in
Madison Square Garden. Uaughter) If
the Republican party of New York, as
the result Of something of that sort,
would save us from further scandal and
corruption in the state, they had better
nominate Buffalo Bill and have a good
show. (Yells.)
Il mean no disparagement to the Re-
publican candidate for governor. He
was a good soldier. l was soldier my
self. But it has been source of wonder
that while one good soldier should be
sent home to New York to run for gov
ernor, another good soldier whom they
don't need is kept down in Florida
At the reference to Bryan the audience
went wild. 1t rose and cheered and
cheered again and again. 1t laughed and
cheered; it polled ribs and shook hands.
The climax came when man in the
q gafsefy called for three cheers for our
next president, Bryant
II will put the lowest private of the list
regiment, with his emaciated face,' con-
tinued the speaker, against Rough Rider
Roosevelt, and he will beat him for gov
ii ernor. (Chcers.)
: IT understand that the Republican
.4Arty has another reform on hand. They
are ashamed of the judiciary of this city
and they want to reform the bench.
TElnk Of the republican, party, which
has stopped to debauch the courts in a
political emergency, talk OF reforming
the judiciary of New York city! If you
want an unsullied judiciary you must
have non-partisan bar association. l
s am told that 81 members of that associa-
tion presumed to represent the 5000
members Of the New York bar and at
tackled a candidate of the Democratic
party. What right had these men to
speak for the bar Of New York? These
attorneys for corporations, trusts and IL
legal combinations of capital that are
7 seeking to control the courts and judges!
There has not been assumed SO ridicu-
lous power since the Three Tailors Of
