New York, Oct. Ex-senator Nathan
b. Scott, of West Virginia, Republican
national committeeman stirred up a
hornets nest at the Roosevelt dinner
last evening. Roosevelt did not men
tion the subject of trusts at the great
Madison Square garden meeting two
hours later. After some speaking, Scott
arose and openly applauded trusts.
81 believe in trusts" said he. "They
are a great benefit to the country. If
1t wasn't for the Standard Oil company,
the. present prosperity would not be with
U.S."
Scott was interrupted, at the instiga-
tion of Senator Plat and Benjamin Il.
O'Dell. Scott was soon surrounded by
a group of excited men, who forced him
into his seat pointing to newspaper
man who was present. At last Scott
arose and pointing toward the reporter
exclaimed:
IF that newspaper man puts that in
the newspaper / will make trouble for
him."
Later Chairman O'Dell and Senator
Scott called the newspaper men together
and Scott explained that he meant good
trusts should not be condemned for
what bad trusts did.
PLENTY OF NOISE.
Beginning with the arrival at the
Grand Central station on the minute of
the schedule time, $40 o'clock, until
along towards midnight, when the
Trough Rider governor went, tired
and weary, to his sisters home for the
night, there was a series of receptions
TO Roosevelt last night. Surging
crowds filled the streets in tne vicinity
CT Madison Square; $4,000 persons
squeezed into the great hall of Madison
Square Garden; four times as many
others jostled and squirmed for good
places at the overflow meetings, and in
all 10000 or $4,000 were auditors to the
Republican orator during the night.
Thousands of electric lights, tons of
req fire and bushels of fireworks col
ored the spectacular demonstra ton
Thousands of sturdy lungs furnished
enthusiasm in wholesale lots, while
ores of bands and marching clubs
did their part in the general effort to
eclipse the Bryan demonstration of ten
days ago. From searchlight in the
tower Of the garden the bands sta
toned in the square took their cue and
played the national airs in concert.
But the receptions had in many respects
q made to- order" aspect, and lacked
rluch of the spontaneity of the old days
