New York. Oct. 14.--Governor Odell
last night opened the republican state
campaign in Brooklyn by making a
number of speeches. III the early even
ing he attended dinner given in his
honor by the Union League Club. of
Brooklyn, at which Senator Depew was
one OF the speakers.
The governor was then driven into
the Academy of Music, where he open
ed the Hebrew fair. After this Gov
ernor Odell was taken to the rooms of
Club, and thence to the Claremont rink,
where he made the principal address of
the night.
The greater part of the governors
speech was devoted to state affairs
strictly. After going into detail as to
the economics put into effect by his adj
mfnist1ation for the last two years and
efforts and plants made for the future
advancement of state interests, Gov
ernor Odell said:
"The republican party has met
squarely every issue that has been pre-
sented by the democratic party. It has
demonstrated that the claim of our OPP
ponents that the government of the
state has been extl'avagant is not
founded upon fact. II has shown that
democratic attacks upon the national

government which had to do with the
great problems which came to us as a

boring state, and for which the people
of New York are in no way response
