AN EARLY START.
Soon after leaving jamestown this morning
the special train conveying the Governor ar
rived at Randolph. This to be the first
stop. Early as was the hour. there were thou
sand people at the station. large proportion
of these were farmers The Governor said in
part:
1T is perfectly true that no legislation,
administration by itself bring prosperity.
The wisest laws wont bring prosperity If the
hand of the Lord is laid upon If there comes
a drouth, a food or fire. q pestilence. law
will save us from disaster. If guilty of
folly in legislation, administration can save
US from the effects Of our own foolishness. weak
ness wrongdoing and there some people
whom nothing make prosperous All that
laws do is this: They can be so shaped,
framed and administered to give the average
man the best possible chance to Alright his
skill. thrift. courage. resolution and bust
ness capacity. This is what be done. and
this is what has been done"
Senator Higgins and NJ. V. V. Franchot had
made preparations at clean for large
meeting. When the Roosevelt special arrived
there the Governor was transported a mile and
a half across the city to q platform which had
been erected in public square. The wide main
street of Clean along which the Governors car
riage passed had its sidewalks crowded with
thousands of persons intent upon seeing the
Governor and hearing him speak Senator Hig
gins praised highly the Governors administra-
ton upon introducing him. The latter in open
ing his speech alluded TO the big Republican
plurality usually cast by Cattaraugus County.
He said:
4 am now passing through part of the State
which can always be depended upon TO roll up
great maiorities for the of decent citizen
ship In this campaign that is the fundamental
issue. We have a right to appeal to all men,
without regard to their political affiliations in
the past, to stand with now because this is
no mere party contest. This is a contest for the
fundamental principles Of American life for or
derby liberty, for decency, honor and that virile
patriotism which sees in the flag symbol Of
National greatness and wishes to uphold ii in
the face Of the nations of mankind
a singular thing in connection with this cam
palgn Is the attitude Of the very few people
who. having opposed Bryan four years ago are
now supporting him. although he represents
every principle which they then condemned Mr.
BouTke Cochran, for instance, used four years
ago stronger language than I would use now
Thus, If you will turn to The New York World"
or October 80. 1896 you will see that when an
attempt was made to break up a meeting which
he was addressing, Mr.. Cochran said: BRYAN
and the crowd OF lunatcs and rufffans who fol-
low him illustrate their platform, which stands
Tor anarchy and riot" Personally should not
use the phraseology which Mr.. Cochran is re-
ported TO have employed. but the thought was
true then. and is equally true now The Kansas
City platform and those who uphold it stand for
the forces OF disorder and OF National dishon-
esty, and here in this State for the forces OF
civic dishonesty as well. and when such is the
case we have the right to appeal for the supnort
Of every true American"
When the Governors train stopped at Friend
ship he was welcomed with hearty cheers from
the members of a campaign club and others
present at the station. he was escorted IN a
platform, where he made brief speech.
AT HORNELLsvILLE.
Governor Roosevelt was met at HornelIsville
by Congressman Gillett, Senator Sherwood and
Assemblyman Hatch. There was a big parade
OF Republican clubs. and the Governor was es-
corted to park, where he spoke from music

House. At the Opera House he said;
