NEW YORK, October 8, 1885,
The first gun in the state campaign was
| fired by the republicans at Carnegie Hall
| tonight. The immense hall was packed to
suffocation, and the managers of the ratif-
| cation say they have never known of such
| a demand for tickets. The central figure
of this great demonstration was Col. Theo-
| dcre Roosevelt-plain Teddy to every
| soul in the immense gathering, and his
praises were many in speech and song.
With such a central figure there could be
nothing but enthusiasm, and it was un-
| bounded. That the democrats fear this
great wave Of popularity made apparent
| tonight is indicated by many political
| straws. Already they are beginning to
| nominate soldier candidates wherever they
can find them For instance, Capt. Clayton
| of Troop c has been named for Congress in
Bl ooklyn; Private Quaide of the Rough
| Riders has been nominated for the state
senate in the Rockland-O Orange district;
capt. Rafferty, is to be nominated in the
! Suffolk district. and private of the list
Will run for the assembly in Richmond
county. The same policy is to be followed
! in congressional districts in this city, and
| word to do likewise has bsen passed up the
| state, but the object will only be too ap-
! parent-it cannot stem the Roosevelt tide
Already politicians are making majority
estimates, and they range from 100000 to
| 10000 for the gallant colonel of the Rough
| Riders.
An Anti-Tammany Campaign.
! This is to be an anu-Tamrnany campaign
extended throughout the state. There is
| rothng to be said about Justice Van Wyck
personally. He is an honest and plain
| gentleman it is said, but he trains with
Tammany; he wars Croker's dog-collar
| and must follow where the boss leads
Senator MpC nff fbo p1rniff nP
| ten was asked today whether the demo-
cratic candidate would make any speeches
| In the campaign, said:
Nobody knows yet what Judge Van
Wyck will do. No speaking arrangements
| have been made yet, except for the meeting
| in the Brooklyn Academy of Music next
| week. Judge Van Wyck will let US know
| in good time what he intends to do
| The senator was also asked if he expected
| that Senator James K. JONES' chairman of
| the national democratic COMMITTEES, would
approve of the course of the democrats of
| New York state in making their campaign
solely upon state issues and ignoring the
| 'Jones?" echoed McCarren, apparently
| puzzl=d ''Jones!" he repeated, refectively.
| What Jones?
Jones was meant who, it said, wrote a
letter to Senator Murphy last year giving
| his approval to state-issue campaign in
| New York, McCafren said:
| 'Oh! yes. But Jones is not a citizen of
| New York state, is he? Why should you
| expect him to take part in our campaign?'
Not Looking for National Committee
| Aid.
From the talk OF McCarren and others at
| headquarters, it is evident that the democ-
racy of New York does, not expect the sup
pert of the national organization in this
| campaign. What they do expect, 1t is said
is declaration from Senator Jones or
| some other leader of the national commit
| tee that the New York democrats have
| abandoned the platform of their party and
are traitors.
| In this correction political authority
says:
| "Evason of the Chicago platform by the
| Syracuse convention may, perhaps relieve
democratic candidates for state offices of
| the odium Of that deliverance, but it can
&C no further. 1t cannot release the DEM
ocratic candidates for members of the
House of Representatives from obligation
| to obey the mandates of the last demo-
cratic nation al convention. For all practi-
cal purposes really affecting national legis-
lation the New York democracy is as much
the party of Bryantsm today as it was in
| the fall of 1885,
The state ''Cits" who are trying to nut
a third ticket in the field are to have the
active aid and support of the democratic
state committee in the work of getting
signers to their nOminating petition VIII
lam Barnes, jr., chairman of the executive
committee of the republican state commit
tee, has announced that he has positive in
formation that the democrats up the state
are circulating and signing the nominating
petitions of the third ticket.
| Cen B. f. Tracy was a caller at repubi-
can headquarters today. He says that he
will be on the platform with his former op-
pcnent for the mayoralty, Seth Low. at the
| Roosevelt meeting to be held in the Acad-
emy of Music, Brooklyn, on October 10.
