Warmly Greeted.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-Concluding the pro-
gramme of a busy day of campaigning,
embracing a dozen speeches, Gov. RooSe-
Welt of New York, tonight addressed two
Chicago audiences, which crowded both
the Coliseum and First Regiment armory,
yet he had to disappoint several thousand
persons on whom the doors were closed
after the big buildings were filled.
For ten minutes after Gov. Roosevelt
arrival at the Coliseum, the crowd cheer
ed, men yelled and waved flags Women
stood upon chairs, waved handl1erchiefs
and shouted and just as quiet was restor-
ed, a storm of applause was provoked
again by the rough riders regiment,
which marched in and occupied the gal
lery behind the platform
The governor said in part:
THE GOVERNORS ADDRESS.
Mr. Chairman My Fellow Americans,
Men and Women of Chicago: L am glad,
indeed, to have the chance Of addressing
an audience like this, and cold would be
the man who did not appreciate your
greeting. (Applause)
l am trebly glad to appeal to you to-
night, not merely as Republicans; l APP
peal to you as Americans; l appeal to
you for the sake of your manhood and
womanhood to stand with us now, be-
cause we stand for the honor and the
interest of the greatest republic upon
which the sun has ever shown. Cap

"a voice: Three cheers for Teddy
and another voice, ''Teddys all right')
Sure: and Chicago is all right, and Hi
nois is all right Now, it is in one way
little-(an interruption was here caused
by the entrance of the Illinois Spanish
American war veterans in khaki suits).
| wish to speak to you tonight on two
or three issues of the campaign, and
yet on some of the issues which are most
important 1t is difficult to argue over the
issues raised by our antagonists in 1885,
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 it alters is our estimate of the
men who still champion a policy which
would bring absolute ruin to the COVE .

public arguments upon another issue III

Mr.. Bryan, although four years ago they
denounced him with exceeding bitterness
because Of the very attitude on financial,

Philippines. The arguments they advance
to justify themselves are so eXtraord-

seriously. Mr.. Bourke Cochran, for in
stance, advocates the election of Mr.
Bryan and a Bryanite house on the
ground that there will still be Repub-
lican senate to prevent the newly elected
president and house from carrying out
the very policy which they would have
been elected to carry out. It seems
scarcely necessary to do more than state
such a proposition. It's mere statement
furnishes a sufficient commentary both
on the party on behalf of which it is adj
vised and of the gentlemen advancing it.
MIR. Schurz, than whom no one man
in 1896 used more violent language con-
