Teddy Tuned a Deaf Ear to ! the Romans. QUESTIONS ARE PROPOUNDED Printed Slips Thrown Into the Govern or's Carriage-Third Day of
 the New York Campaign
 Ends at Utica.

Ouca, N. r., october Ex-Governor RooSe- velt's third day of campaigning in New York State embraced several new features. At nearly every place at which he stopped there were larg crowds of people,
 In this city tonight, intsead of speech making, the days work ended with re- view of an immense demonstration. This was entirely agreeable to Governor Roose- welt. who during the day had made nine speeches, some of them extremely long ones, while travelling through three coun- t:es-Chenango, Madison and Oneida.
 The feature of the days trip Was the meeting here of the Vice Presidential can didate and United States Senator Depew and the grouping together upon one stage in this city within period of three hours of ex-Comptnoler of the Currency Eckels, Senator Depew and Governor Roose-
 The third feature was a preconcerted att tempt at Rome to compel Governor Roose- welt to answer questions concerning the let ter of Mayor Van Wyck, the prosecution of the ice trust, the prosecution of the alleged canal thieves and others relating to the office of Governor.
 That this attempt was preconcerted is assured from the fact that the men in the crowd asked questions, holding in their hands printed slips, and upon their failure to compel the candidate to answer. num- bers of these slips were thrown into his carriage. The Governor positively declined to give any expression of opinion to the circulars or their authorship or to answer any of the questions contained in them.
 With the exception Of short stop of half an hour at Herkimer. where a brief ad- dress was made, the eliminating speeches of the day were at two immense meet tngs in this city. Senator Depew preced- ing the Governor, spoke at some length on trusts Governor Roosevelt followed and said: 'I agree with Senator Depew that l want no better ammunition than that which MT. Bryan furnishes day by day, except I would add that which he furn- ished in his speeches your years ago.
 MT. Bryan said yesterday, in answer to a question that if he had been President he would not have signed the treaty of peace by which the Philippine Islands be- came ours He went on to Congress and advised that that 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. If his words mean anything-supposing that they do mean anything-they must mean that he wished President Mckinley to do what he nluSeI WOulQ not nave OareQ 10 QO ana the only reason for saying that he wished President Mckinley to take an action which he could attack in the campaign. Now that seems incredible. I would not have believed any man who would have said 1t of Mir. Bryan, but have got to be- lieve 1t when MT. Bryan says 1t himself
 "Mr. Bryan has been about denouncing our little regular army, our gallant little army, and as leader Of that kind always draws followers, MT. Bryan has had ad herents who have gone about this State re- beating slanderous falsehoods which they knew to be slanderous falsehoods when they made them-that our army in the Philip pines was an army of murderers and rav- ishers: that it had been doing foul wrong there. MT. Bryan has said that the purpose of creating the present army was to put it in force near our great cities to overawe the working man. I should laugh at that statement if my blood did not burn with indignation that any man should make 1t, and yet be candidate for the highest gift of the American people. That army was voted for not only by Republicans but Dem ocrats. All the Democrats in the House voted for 1t; the Kansas City convention had not yet made the dishonor of the flag one of the cardinal principles of their pot icy, and I will guarantee that not one single man of them dreamed of such purpose when he cast his vote. The thing Is mon- strous and absurd its face.
 The army was created to meet the ex- igencies of the Spanish war and the Phil ippine struggle that succeeded the Spanish war As matter of fact, the army is not in this country at the present time. For the last three years the army has been terror of the Spaniards, the Aguinaldoan Malays the Chinese Boxers and in this country only the sympathizers with those three classes have had cause to feel un- easy about 1t.
