A CYCLONE FOR JEROME
COOPER UNION AUDIENCE WILL NOT
WAIT FOR USUAL PRELDIINARIES
BEFORE HEARING HIM.

BEtORE HEARING HIM.
A tremendous demonstration OF the popularity
Of Justice William Travers Jerome, the fusion
candidate for District Attorney, given last
evening by an audience that filled the large
hall Of Cooper Union TO its doors. It a Re-
publican mass meeting, and Justice jerome is a
Democrat. but when he appeared upon the plat
form before the time set for the speaking to be-
gin the audience arose and, with applause and
cheering. demanded speech from him without
delay. General Henry l. Burnett. the chairman
of the meeting. saw there was no resisting the
appeal and said:
I DO not propose TO stand in the way OF a
whirlwind or cyclone. and shall step aside
and call the fighting Judge"
When Justice Jerome could make himself
heard he aroused laughter by saying that he
saw dangerous tendency TO confusion when
he found q man pledged TO the destruction Of
Tammany Hah the candidate Of Tammany
Hall When ne mentioned the fact that w
Bourke Cochran supporting the Tammany
candidate there were loud Kisses. and he added:
'Oh, no. Let us fight this fight clean and whip
them clean, or go down in honor"
From that time there were no Kisses, but
the speaker was interrupted frequently by ap-
plause. He said in part:
