ROCHESTER,, -. Y, Oct 30.-The Roose-
welt party made an early start Westward
from Elmira to-day. The stops OF the day
were numerous, the tour finally ending
In Rochester tonight. The general con-
yersation OF the party this morning was Of
the riotous times of last night. Governor
Roosevelt said that the first attack on
the carriage in which he and Senator Fas-
sett were riding came from small boys.
II saw the boys fire the vegetables
and decayed fruit" said the Governor,
''and a few sticks also were thrown 1t
was body of grown men, however, who
pushed up against the carriage and thrust
Autographs of Stanchfield in my face. Sew
eraI times it looked as If ii was the inten-
carriage, but a number of men on horse
back gathered around and prevented that.
! did not see the fracas in which the men
were injured
The Corning Club which got into a fight
In attempting to defend its banner from
attack suffered severely. Six men were
quite badly wounded with stones and
sticks and blood flowed quite freely. They
were finally escorted to the station by
the police and put aboard their special
train.
THE city administration of Elmira is
Republican" said Senator Fassett this

An incident of the morning was the pass
ing of three presidential trains at
Elmirs. Candidate Woolley. of the Prohi-
bitiol party, went by one on one side Of
the Roosevelt train and Colonel Bryan
went on his train few minutes later,
no courtesies being exchanged.
SPEECH AT CORNING.
The first stop of the day of the Roose-
welt train was made at Corning. the home
OF the club which was assaulted last night
during the parade in Elmira. 1t was rain
ing quite hard when the train got to the
station, but still there was a dense crowd
awaiting 1t, and as the Governor remarked:
more umbrellas than L have ever seen
In my life before"
1t was some time before the Governor
could speak because of the cheering. but
finally he. said 1T is perfectly evident
that Corning has not been daunted by
fits reception at E,lmira last night. 1t in
dicates this, that you have got good stuff

And / think" continued the Governor,
that sooner or later our opponents will
grow to think that mob violence is not
the way TO keep Republicans back We
have right to appeal not merely to Re-
publfcanS. but every citizen who believes
al oiuciiy uDtEly unuer the law and who is
against mob violence in all its forms, to

to-day, they have not merely been hooted.

against Just that type OF thing. 1t Is abso-
lutely impossible that the kind OF canvass
which our opponents have waged could be
waged without exciting just the spirit that
was manifested last night. When Mr.
Bryan supporters, his chief supporters

must aveEge themselves, when that ia
