Governor Roosevelt was the central fig
ure Fridny night of great Republican
demonstration in New York city BY II
close estimate 10000 persons crowded
into Madison Square Garden park and
the adjacent streets. No effort had been
spared by the Republican leaders to make
the demonstration equal that accorded to
William J. Bryan under Tammany's
management on Tuesday Of last week.
They seem to have achieved their object.
Though individual opinion may be infu-
enced by partisan faith in point of mum
bers and enthusiasm there was little room
for choice between the two tremendous
gatherings.
