House. In the small room where, on September
90 his opponent. Augustus Van Wyck. was Sc
lected the Democratic candidate for Cow
ernor by Richard Croker and Edward Murphy.
Jr Tonight Colonel Roosevelt addressed 1000
voters Of Syracuse in Alhambra Hall. the scene
OF the action Of 450 dummies. called delegates
to the Democratic State Convention. when they
ratified Crokers and Murphys choice OF man
to head the Democratic State ticket.
Only last night Mr.. Van Wyck was here and.
at a Democratic mass-meetng. reiterated his
declaration that he running for Governor
on State issues only 1t happened. however
that the Democratic Mayor OF the city, James
X. Mcclure. dragged in the name Of William J.
Bryan In the course OF his speech introducing
Mr.. Van Wyck and 1t provoked an explosion
Of enthusiasm which made 1t clear that the
Democratic heart is still true to its choice for
President in 1896.
Colonel Roosevelt tonight in his speech at
the Republican mass-meeting in Alhambra Han
naturally alluded to this action OF Mayor Nc
Guire and he declared that Mr.. Van Wyck
would find II impossible 10 keep his canvass
separate from National issues and influences
The fact Of the matter Is" said Colonel
Roosevelt. that It is impossible 10 discuss win
a sober face a proposition that for the hrst
time in our history this State election, which In
cdentally involves the election OF thrty-four
Congressmen and United States Senator. has
no concern with National politics. In short. the
pretence that National issues are not involved
in this State campaign Is nonsense. Mr. White,
vour candidate for State Senator. will vote for
United States Senator in JANUARY II he Is elect-
ed and Mr. Drscol. your candidate for Con-
eressman II elected. will be called upon TO vote
for sound money or for unsound money. The
only way. therefore 10 protect the financial honor
Of the country is 70 vote the Republican ticket
and thus uphold the hands Of President McKin-
lev in his defence OF an honest currency
system"
