mass meeting in honor OF Governor Roosevelt in
Madison Square Garden on October 26. General
Francis V. Greene. the president of the Repub-
ncan County Committee. and Mr. Fairchild had
an extended interview yesterday, at which the
political situation was discussed, and at the end
Of which Mr.. Fairchild signihed his Willingness
to take part in the demonstration. Mr.. Fair
child told General Greene that he was ready to
do everything in his power to bring about the
election OF Mckinley. He is not a Republican,
he said, but he takes his present position be-
cause he believes that the election of Mr. Bryan
would be a disaster to this country and the
menace to the business interests involved by
having Mr.. Bryan a possible candidate for
Presidential honors hereafter should be ended,
he added. by his overwhelming defeat this year.
Mr. Fairchild also said that he had been a
Democrat all his life. and four years ago had
voted for Palmer and Buckner. but this year he
intended to vote and work for the election Of
Mckinley.
Arrangements have been made for $50 re-
served seats only in the Garden. These are for
the vicepresidents. 1t announced yesterday
that only those who accept the invitation to
serve as vice-presidents will receive reserved

in that capacity were John A. Mccall. president
of the NewYork Life Insurance Company. and
John D. Crimmins who short time ago de-
clared himself in favor of Mckinley.
The demonstration outside of the Garden
promises to be a picturesque one There will
be a series Of parades from almost every quar-
ter Of the city, converging on Madison Square.
These will be divided into eighteen groups.

District there will be 500 Columbia College stu
dents marching in a body. In the XXIIId AS
sembly District there has been organized club
of first voters, known as Red Tops. On Fri
day night and in the sound money demonstra-

An even one hundred of them will be in the line

arrangements. Chief Devery has assured Sec
retary Manchester and Chief Marshal Halpir
that he will take personal charge Of the police
inside the Garden. and will send details to the

been decided to use the regular Garden force OF
ushers and dOorkeeperS instead of calling for
volunteers, as it was thought wise to have men
who are familiar with handling crowds and who
know thoroughly the exits and entrances at the
Garden.

from every Assembly district He said thai
forty-seven bands and almost an equal number
