CURE, chairman of the Democratic State Executive
Committee, delivered speech here tonight before
audience which filed the assembly room in
the City Hail. The Mayor was taken i'll and was
obliged TO stop before completing his speech. He
was taken to tho Yates Hotel, where he was put
TO bed. Later he was driven to his home. He says
he will go to New-York tomorrow.
He dwelt exhaustively upon trusts and imperial
ism, and toward the close OF the speech attacked
the local Republican machine for its opposition TO
his administration OF city affairs.
The Mayor prefaced his speech with extended
reference to the alleged assault Governor Roose-
welt and his party at Victor. Col, but he read
of the promised afidavits He quoted from
the statements Of eye witnesses and from news
paper descriptions of the incident, and reiterated
the assertion he made the time that the So
called disturbances were fake riots. He said
that If they not inspired by Governor Roose-
Welt himself they at least brought out by
his motley retinue of cowboys, Rough Riders
and camp followers that have accompanied the
Governor like a Wild West show across the plains -
He also referred to the Governor IAN arrant
hypocrite He constantly speaks of the close at
tention that public servants ought to give their
official duties and yet it is notorious that the
Governor does spend two months out of the
twelve in the Executive office at Albany. He talks
of economy in public office. He put the machine
politician Hendricks in charge of the Insurance
Department at Albany. and the expenses of that
Department increased 100000 in the last year"
Mayor MCGUIRE was not satisfied with this de-
nunciation of Mr.. Roosevelt, and in the course OF
his speech characterized him follows:
=, Our ranting MISUNDERSTANDING Governor wild
,ly the fountain source of the war spirit, is en-
deavorng excite the young men of the country
and induce them to depart from peaceful pursuits

shot and she'll and the strenuous spirit"
Many of Mr.. McGuire's pleas for the suppression
of the in the Philippines, the decrease Of the
Army, the restriction Of trusts and of the evils of
municipal government were interesting, both to
Republicans and to Democrats Here a few
