While he was speaking here Mr.. Jerome
interrupted several times by in a front
seat. Speak up. my friend" said Mr.. Jerome,
while some people tried to qniet the man. Let

He says he isn't going to vote for Grout or

He and I are in agreement so far.
And / won't vote for Mcclellan nuther'
shouted the man. emphatically.
This a characteristic incident of IN"

men crowded over and shook Mr.. Jeromes hand
he passed out.
HE TALKS TO GERMANS.
At Congress Hall Mr.. Jerome addressed an
audience containing many Germans there
We're Hebrews in the previous assemblage. To
them he said in part:
can't think of any greater insult to the
Germans than to assume that because
has obeyed the oath OF office and enforced the
law the Germans viii turn him out.
The German doesn't want to be dictated to
by the law. but by his own conscience, but I
dont think he is as Mr.. Murphy says.

him all he wants" daughter and hisses)

From Congress Hall Mr.. Jerome went to the
big meeting in Claremont Rink. At the close
of this meeting Mr.. Jerome had a rather rough
experience the hands of the Brooklyn police
who did not recognize him in the crowd, and
handled several Assistant District Attorneys
with unnecessary roughness. grabbing them by
the coat collars. pushing them back into the
crowd. and using their hands them with
considerable violence. Mr.. Jerome was also
damned back by the sergeant in charge. and
the whole incident caused considerable com
ment. 1t is not improbable that some of the
officers will hear from the affair later.
