the hearts OF his managers. The advent
OF the Rough Rider candidate among the
country people who have read of him,
and many Of whom look upon him as the
fighting man par excellence OF all tight

could resemble. Men, >omen and child
rem thronged 10 look at him, Democrats,
Republicans, Independents and others of
every ilk- No few OF these We're actuated
by curiosity TO see In person a genuine
Rough Rider His managers are pleased
TO call the demonstrations an ovation,
little needing the fact that Democrats
WED with Republicans TO see the man,
having satisfied which at many places
cheers for Van wyck were given with
hearty will.

speeches were the speeches Of

of the train was a war platform, whereon
half a dozen Rough Riders kept. Col.

tions Of men.
He wore Rough Riders hat He spoke
slowly and distinctly. He was cheered
frequently. AT various points bouquets
were given to him. In one instance he
was saluted with a shotgun. Another
time a small brass cannon roared a well
come.
The route was fun of queer figures
There were strange looking men bowed
with labor, women in silks and women in
cslcOes, to whom glimpse of the Rough
Rider seemed all sufficient
The trip was an experiment to see how
far Roosevelt might be trusted with a
loose rein. In that he filled the expecta-
tions Of his managers. Not once did he
show any inclination OF posing any more
as a reformer Of men and politics.
Aphthy's Dread Ghost.
Notwithstanding the display of yester-
day and that which is expected to follow
as the weeks rolls on the leaders are still
making herculean efforts to stem the tide
OF apathy in every direction. Mr. Depew
sounded a note OF warning last night in A
speech before the Republican club of this
city OF which he is the president The
doctors oration was warning speech
from first to last. In his peroration he
said: ''If we lose the election this fall

Boomerang of the Bar AristocrafS
The action of the Bar Association last
Saturday night in attempting TO dictate to
the legal fraternity OF this city as to
whom they should give their weight for
county justices is likely to prove a yerita-
BILE boomerang.
One Of the results will be the immediate
establishment of a rival organization of
lawyers. Plans have been hurriedly made
for starting a new club, desirable sites
have been canvassed, and it is asserted
that within a month it viii be running.

as large as that of the Bar Association
at the present moment.
A dozen energetic lawyers have taken
hold Of the movement, and have worked
hard among their professional friends 10

old, eminently respectable and superbly
aristocraic Bar Association.
A prominent member Of the association,
Charles Strauss, formerly a commissioner
OF education, said yesterday:

reputable lawyers in active practice in
this city who really carry the brunt and
burden OF the responsibilities of the bar,
and OF whom am happy to number my
self one, who are misrepresented by the
attitude OF this association
Among younger members of the bar
who make no claim to social exciusiveness
and who view the glaring injustice of the
thing, this business has created a feeling
OF profound repugnance, and have been
solicited to assist in the establishment OF
a new organization. and have consented TO
do so.
