 New York, Nov. 4.-Final efforts were put forth tonight by the republicans or Kings county, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt the republican nominee for governor, appearing again in Brooklyn and speaking in five different places. The principal demonstration was at the Clermont avenue rink, where 5000 peo- pie had gathered. At this meeting Lieutenant Governor Woodruff made the opening speech. When Colonel Roosevelt arrived he was greeted with storm of applause and cheering that lasted several minutes. In the course of his speech the colonel said: without courage, honesty avails but little. have not much use for the timid man. l believe in the man who will smite down vice, who will srnite down dishon- esty, who, when he stands up for what is decent and straight is not afraid to stand up. In this contest, as 1t hap pens, we have not only the honesty on our side, but the courage also. Our op- ponents dare not tell you whether they approve or disapprove of the insolent brutality of their master, MT. Croker. when he turns an honest judge off the bench, because that man refused to subordinate his functions as judge to the dictates of the political organization that claims to own him body and soul'
 Albany, Nov. 4.--Judge Van Wyck, the democratic nominee for governor, addressed an audience of 5000 persons at Harmanus Blocker hall here to- night Thousands could not get into the hall and overflow meetings were held in the vicinity. The audiences, both within and without the hall, were very demonstrative and every mention of Candidate Van Wyck's name was cheered to the echo.
 When Judge Van Wyck appeared on the stage the audience rose and cheered until it was hoarse. Judge Van Wyck, in part, said: T find that in Syracuse my opponent propounded at least one question which is unmistakably in or der in campaign for the governor ship. He desired to be informed under which administration, his or mine, a canal ring would grow up and flourish. Now it is to be observed that a canal ring has grown up and fourished and is at this moment very much in evil dence, although he does not seem to have learned the fact. However, strange it may appear, 1t is none the less true that he nowhere intimates that he has read the report of the com mission appointed by Governor Black to report upon the canal frauds. Since I have plainly taken more interest in the canals than my opponent, my ad- ministration would be likely to be bet ter informed than his concerning that subject It must be allowed that an administration conducted by a gentle man who has either not read read the report of the commission, or deemed it's findings not worthy of serious consid- eratin, would be somewhat more likely to foster a canal ring than one con- ducted by gentleman who has given earnest thought to the subject, and who at certain definite conclusions about the steps that ought to be taken to turn the rascals out and punish them."
