UTICA, N. 2, Oct. A.-Governor
Roosevelts third day of campaigning in
New York state. embraced several feat
ures not heretofore marked In his reccp-
tIon at other places. At nearly every
place at which he stopped en- route there
were huge crowds Of people.
In this city tonight instead OF speech
making the days work ended with a re-
view of an Immense demonstration.
This was entirely agreeable to Governor
Roosevelt. who during the day had
made nine speeches, some of them ex-
tremely long ones. while travelling
through three counties = Chenango.
Madison and Oneida.
The second feature of the days trip
was the meeting here OF the vice pres!-
DENTAL candidates train and that OF
Senator Depew and the grouping to-
gether upon one stage in this city with.
In period Of three hours OF ex-Comp-
troller OF the Currency Eckels, United
States Senator Depew and Governor
Roosevelt.
Questions to Answer.
The third feature was q preconcerted
attempt at Rome to compel Governor
Roosevelt to answer questions concern
Ing the removal OF Mayor Van wyck,
the prosecution OF the Ice trust, the
prosecution of the alleged canal thieves
and others relating to the office Of gov
ernor. That this attempt was precon-
certed is assured from the fact that
men In the crowd asking these questions
held In their hands printed slips and
that upon their failure to compel the
candidate to answer, numbers OF those
slips were thrown In his carriage. The
governor positively declined to give any
expression of opinion as to the circulars
or their authorship, or to answer any of
the questions. With the exception of
a short trip Of half an hour to Herkimer,
where brief address was made, the
eliminating speeches of the day were t
two immense meetings In this city.
Senator Depew. preceding the governor,
spoke at some length on trusts.
Compliments Depew.

said:
There is always a certain dlsadvan-
tage In following Senator Depew, and I
think deserve considerable credit for
keeping an unmoved countenance while
he made the speech 7 intended to make
about trusts. So shall have to speak
to you on little different lines than
had Intended to. I agree with Senator
Depew that want no better ammuni-
tion than that which Mr.. Bryan fur
nishes day by day, except, I would add,
that which he furnished In his speeches
four years ago.
mfr. Bryan said yesterday In answer
to n question, that II he had been Presi-
dent. he would not have signed the
treaty Of peace by which the Philippines
became ours. He went on to Congress
and advised that the treaty should be
ratified by the senate He did all he
could to have 1t ratified and now he
dares to say that he would not have
signed 1t.
Thrust at Bryan.
III his words mean anything-suppos-
ing that they do mean anythins-they
must mean that he wished President
Mckinley to do what he himself would
not have dared to do and the only rea-
son for saying that must be that he
wished President Mckinley to take in
actton which he could attack in the
campaign. Now that seems Incredible.
would not have believed any man who
would have said 1t OF Mr.. Bryan. but
have got to believe It when Mr.. Bryan
says 1t himself"
