BILE Meanwhile the band played and Colonel
Roosevelt mounted to the top of the carriage
far above the heads of the crowd and was
greeted with a yell of delight that made back
number of the band. For long time he could
do nothing but bow, while the hoarse roar OF
admiration refused to quiet down. Cheer after
cheer was given and he was evidently taken
aback at the continuous uproar which consu-
tutes a Bowery welcome.
At last he secured semblance Of quiet and

earrestness TO the crowd and they punctuated

cheered and followed the fast-retreating vehicle
pell-mell Colonel Roosevelt still remained on
the top of the carriage, bowling and waving his
military hat to the Unsuitable crowd and en-
doavoring to ward off the men who had climbed
onto the carriage to shake his hand and who
were in imminent danger Of being thrown un-
der the wheels
Colonel Roosevets reception at FOurth-st and
the Bowery, at which place he arrived at 10
o'clock was repetition Of the welcome which
everywhere he received. He spoke frcm a
truck and was enthusiastically received by a
crowd which filed the Bowery at It's junction
with Fourth-ave.. and extended far beyond the
reach OF his voice
As in his other speeches last night he APP
pealed for a pure judiciary. an honest State
government, free from the degrading influences
Of Tammany Hail. and begged his hearers to
indorse by their votes the statesmanlike Ad-
ministration of William Mckinley. Colonel
Roosevelts remarks elected the repeated APP
plause of his hearers. Others who followed
Colonel Roosevelt and spoke were E. NJ. Clark.

FURTHER UPTOWN.
At Second ave. and Tenth-st.. which was the
last speaking place. there the same enor-
nous crowd There were trucks as usual. and
the fireworks illuminated old ST Marks Church
and the sombre churohyard. and made a memo
rable scene Colonel Roosevelt scheduled
TO appear here at 1910 D. m, but his carriage
rolled up a good half-hour ahead Of time. Many
OF his speeches had been cut short, and this ac-
counted for his premature arrival
Notwithstanding this, he was greeted by thou
sands. and was again compelled TO mount to the
top OF the carriage. There was the same salvo
Of cheers and many who had been at other
meetings in the course of the evening cheered
louder and longer because ii was their last
chance to give voice to their enthusiasm. Colo
mel Roosevelt waved for silence in vain for
many minutes. His speech. when he was finally
allowed to make himself heard, was the shortest
and perhaps the strongest Of the whole even
| ing lie pleaded for the people to support him
| in his fight for honesty and good government.
| and the crowd roared its consent He drove
off up Second dave, amid thunder Of cheers.
