other impetus to-day at the hands of Governor

the meetings he addressed. Starting from FL
mira this morning. the Governor made series
Of speeches along the Erie Railway between Ell
mira and Rochester. He spoke at Corning,
Bath. Livonia Geneseo and Avon. From
Rochester he then went southeast to Canaan
daigua. Geneva and Penn Yam. and addressed
the voters Of these places It was dreary day
with the rain falling almost constantly. but he
had audiences Of good size wherever he went
The audiences were composed largely Of farm
ers and villagers Finally this evening the
Governor arrived at Rochester and addressed
voters al two big mass meetings The voters
Of Rochester attended the meetings by thou

ernor had been taken to an open platform in the
main street Of Geneva, about four blocks from
the station. While the Governor was making
his address he suffered the first interruption Of
she day. Men in the windows Of buildings op
posite, one Of them armed apparently with
rnegaphone began shouting. "Hurrah for
Bryan"
Because he is for Dick Croker?' inquired
the Governor. Because he is afraid TO say
what he will do about free silver? Does the
gentleman say Hurrah for Bryan" because he
wants TO haul down the hag?" Then. raising his
The Governor said: Now, gentlemen want to
say one thing TO you here. There is one thing
more important than any difference of policy
among Americans, and that is the keeping Of
ones self-respect. Whenever you see the mem

dare not hear the truth. Mr.. Bryan comes TO
this State and I am proud to say he is listened

no matter how much people may differ from him
IN opinion The worst reflection that can be
cast upon the followers Of Mr. Bryan is cast
upon them by their own action when they try

the platform but was interrupted by louder
cries Of "Hurrah for Bryan
The Governor looked indignant over the out
break. and said, addressing the Bryan shouters:
Gentlemen. 1 want you TO reflect what poor
showing you make when you try to interrupt an
appeal 10 the flag" For a few moments this
declaration caused the Bryan men TO cease their
cries. but they then resumed their shouts and
continued them 10 the conclusion of the meet
ing A large proportion of those who have
sought to break up Republican meetings here at
Geneva and elsewhere have been boys, but
nevertheless, many men in windows Of buildings
opposite the meeting place at Geneva shouted,

then alluded 10 Croker's argument that young
men have fewer opportunities 10 better them
