his many addresses on this subject.
The Hon Charles +. Fairohild, ex-
Secretary of the United States treasury
was the next speaker. He said:
Charles S. FaicrhiId said in his intro
ductory sentences that he would vote for
the Republican candidate because:
II have sat by the feet and by the side
of all the men who have illumine1 the
name of Democracy during the last 90
years. l think that know the doctrines
and teachings of all the great Democrats
from the beginning until now, and by
the precept and example of each and all
OF them, am compelled to do my 1T
most to stand against the preposterous
ideas Of the present Democratic candi-
date for President. Not only does all
OF this tradition and example, as we'll as
my political training, but also my native
sense lead me to seek the defeat of the
so-calied Democratic party In this cleo.

Speaking of the Philippines, Mr.. Fair

"Ihis Issue, thus taken up at this late
day, suggests insinoerity on the part Of
the DemOcrats-all the more, when one
considers their attitude toward the whole
war with Spain, from before it's begin
ming until recently. 1t is evidently de-
signed to catch the votes and influence of
few sincere men. II we need to revise

Partial order was secured and he finished
with little applause except at the close.
MIR. Odell spoke next, He attacked
the position Of Mr.. Bryan on all the Is
sues OF the campaign.
Former Governor Frank S. Black was
then Introduced by General Greene.
Former Governor Frank $ Black, on
being introduced, said in part:
"Ihe purpose Of the Bryan party this
fall is to keep the real issue In this cam
paign in the back ground, and the bogus
issues in the front. The chief purposes
are to bring about free trade, free silver,
and to ham string the courts. 10 these
three the Democratic party is un-
equivOcally committed, but they have
been too much in view either to arouse
enthusiasm or escape distrust
''They are therefore ordered to the
rear for the present and high sounding
titles have been So bstituted in their
place. Anti-imperialism Is not an issue,
it is only phrase.
'Ihe battered and endorsed figure
of Mr.. Bryan Will be carefully removed

the Democratic dreams OF empire Will
have passed away forever.

speech could not be heard. When he
finished, Solicitor General John X.
Richards was introduced.
Mr.. Richards was interrupted so FREE
quently by the enthusiastic bands of
nlarchers that the governor took part in
the effort to secure silence, This was,
however, unavail'ng and finally Governor
Roosevelt dismissed the meeting by call
Ing for three cheers for President Mck1n-
ley and Mr.. OdeIl which were given with
a will. When Governor ROOsevelt came
out OF the garden he drove straight to
his hotel and from that to the residence
OF Douglass Robinson, his brOther-in-
law.
Madison Square for its entire length
and breadth was one gl1mmering garden
of color in honor of Governor Roosevelt.
From shortly after dark until late into
the night the tumuIt continued The

with myriads OF tiny incandescent lights
and brilliant fountains and showers of
sparks were sent off from all sides OF the
