Chicago. Oct. s.-Concluding the pro

embracing a dozen speeches. Governor
Roosevelt, Of New York, Saturday night
addressed two Chicago audiences when
crowded both the Coliseum and First
regiment armory, yet he had to disap-
point several thousand persons on
whom the doors were closed after the
big buildings were filled For more than
three hours before the arrival Of Cover
nor Roosevelt the crowd had been gath
ering in Wabash avenue awaiting him
The governor was late, owing to the
failure of his special train TO arrive on
time. When the train rolled into the
depot the party aboard, among WhoIn
We're Governor Roosevelt, Senator Han
ma Senator CuIlorn and Richard Yates,
candidate for governor, received a
mighty cheer. Hundreds OF Republican
club members, mounted and IN knakl
uniform, were formed in line, ana the
governor was escorted to the Auditor
1um hotel where he took dinner. Along
the route the sidewalks were thronged,
and numerous bands made music for the
marchers.
While the throng at the Coliseum
awaited the national candidate various
speakers occupied the platform. Among
them was Judge Yates, at whose request
the audience rose and gave three cheers
Tor Mckinney ana Roosevelt
For ten minutes after Governor
Roosevelt's arrival at the Coliseum the
crowd cheered, men yelled and waved
flags. Women stood upon chairs, waved
handkerchiefs and shouted, and just as
quiet was restored a storm of applause
was provoked again by the rough rider
regiment, which marched in and Occu-
pied the gallery behind the platform
The governor, near whom sat various
members OF the Republican national
committee and a large representation OF
the Hamilton club. was introduced by
President Bangs, OF that club, and said:
It is difficult TO argue over the issues
raised by our antagonists in 1896, for our
antagonists themselves, though they still
profess to believe in them, no longer
dare argue them OF course, this does
not alter in the least the danger to the
country involved in these issues. All
that II alters IS our estimate of the men
who still champion a policy which would
bring absolute ruin to the government,
although SO conscious of its weakness
that they lay all the stress of their pub
lc arguments upon another ISSUE in Or
DER TO attract voters who have been
alienated BY their former course
Certain men have snatched at the
excuse thus rendered and now are
championing Mr. Bryan although four
years ago they denounced him with ex-
ceeding bitterness because of the very
attitude on financial, social and econo-
mic questions which ne still openly re-
taIns- These men invite US to assist at
