the splendid Fight Against Tammany.
The fusion campaign In Brooklyn was
xolnd up brilliantly last night. Seth Low
spoke at several big meetings in the borough.
hlt the greatest of them was the n organ
lied BY the Kings County Republican Cam
naian Committee. Tn place was ths Acad-
amy OF Music. In that building there have
been many remarkable meetings since
the campaign opened, but In its attendance.
IN its enthusiasm and in the exuberant spirit
of the audience last nights gathering in
the Academy eclipsed them all. All the
surroundings of the meeting were a happy
sugllrv of what Brooklyn will do next
Tuesday. The doors Of the Academy were
not opened until 7 o'clock. but an hour
before that Montague street was almost
blocked by the crowd which focked around
the entrances waiting for the early ooner's
chance.
The doors had been opened ten min
utes before the great auditorium was filled
Still the throngs rolled up. Men and women
after fighting their way to the entrance
waved platform tickets and box tickets and
either e~xpostulated or pleaded when the
nolice told them that their bits Of paste
board were useless. because there was not
room enough inside TO squeeze In another
individual Of the size Of a museum skeleton.
The street eventually became tot ally
blocked and II was only by the greatest
exertlons Of the police that passage way
was forced for the speakers when they
arrived.
The long wait which those who were
fortunate enough TO get inside the building
had before them wa relieved OF its monot-
ony by the p~leasantries OF Hale's Band,
r L. Halle, the conductor OF the band
made a hit for himself by forsaking stock
music n introducing original items which
we're in keeping with the occasion. One
of the numbers his band played was en-
titled Episodes in a Polioeman's Life
with apologies to Devery). The piece
illustrated unsteady Incidents In q patrol
mans day Of duty. but there was added
10 IL a topical touch Of realism which sent
the audience into roars of laughter.

bluecoats were supposed TO be answering

who in point Of rotundity came pretty
near TO Devery. rose 20 his feet and called
an imaginary roll. As one after another
OF the band stood up. saluted and replied
shere.- the interlocutor mado u obser-
%vations: why. you're rank. you bum;
it'll cost you ten days pay" You're a fine
loafer TO put on the uniform. five days
for you and well. say. dow did a guy
like youse get on de force; I'll fine youse
thirty days, yer dirty panhandler." So
well did the composition catch on that the
audience demanded a repetition.
Mr.. and Mrs: Low, Senator Depew and
Miss Paulding before the meeting dined
with Lieut. Gov. and Mrs Woodruff.
Shortly after 7 o'clock the party left tho
residence of Mr.. Woodruff and proceeded
IN carriages to the junction Of Lafayette
and Flatbush avenues. where they were
met by a battalion Of $50 men and a drum
and fife corps Of the Williams Battery.
A procession was formed which marched
through 'chermerhorn. Court and Mon
tague streets to the Academy. A huge
cheering crowd followed the proves
sion, while thousands of people lined
the sidewalks along the route and
kept up a continuous fire Of plaudits for
the man who Ia leading the fight for decent
government.
Inside the Academy the scene was no less
Inspiring. The boxes and galleries were
covered with decorative devices. made out
Of the national COLOR, while hung between
them were banners bearing inscriptions
denunciatory Of Tammany and Of advocacy
Of the election Of Seth Low and Of his col
leagues upon the fusion ticket. Every
person In the audience had been provided
with a small Rag. and when. now and again,
the band would play a patriotic air the
vast concourse Of people would beat time
With these flags until the auditorium as
viewed from the stAge had the appearance
al a waving ocean Of oolor
