RIVALS RALLY.

Hugh Mclaughlin There Unnotieed
Cochran Says Protection Is Re-
sponsible for Lavlessness In Colorado.
The Democratic campaign opened In
Brooklyn last night with mass meet
ing organized by the anti-McCarren leaders
which was remarkable for several features.
One was the reception given to Senator Mo
Carren, who entered the hall alone, after 1t
was we'll under way. He was greeted
with perfect roar Of cheers.
The other feature was the speech by
Bopke Cochran in which he attributed
the lawlessness in Colorado to the pro-
tective tariff system, and said that the
action Of the authorities there was the first
sign OF the fall OF the republic under Roose-
velt
The meeting was large and somewhat
unruly. MIR. Cochran, whose oratory does
not improve under stress several times
had to stop in his speech and was visibly
annoyed. Efforts were made by Doyle
and the other leaders to quiet their fol-
lowers, and there were several ejectments.
Prospect Hail. where the meeting was
held, holds 1000 people. There wasn't
seat or standing room to be had when the
meeting started. Outside there we're almost
az many people, who enjoyed fireworks to
their hearts content.
Beyond the fact that the meeting marked
the opening Of the campaign, there was
much political interest in it because the
anti-McCarren leaders, William A. Doyle,
William E. Dooley, james Kehoe and Thomas
r. Farrell. had got up the rally without
consultation with Senator McCarren, the
leader of the Brooklyn organization. In
political circles their action had been taken
as direct snub to McCarren.
The meeting was held in Dooleys dis
trict. Two days ago an invitation was
sent to Senator McCarren to attend Senator
McCarren replied to the letter yesterday
and said that he would be there. He also
said to those who questioned him that he
would make speech, il there was any
demand for one from him. When this
was repeated to the Doyle leaders they
declared with much positiveness that
Senator McCarren would not make any
speech, as Mr. Cochran would be the only
speaker 1t was also evident that some OF
them did not expect Senator McCarren to
appear.
Up In a box in the first gallery sat Hugh
Mclaughlin. He was unnoticed by the
crowd. II was after o'clock when the
band struck up tune and Mr. Cochran
walked up the centre aisle Mr.. Doyle
preceded him and behind him came the
other leaders. Doolcy, Kehoe and Farrell.
As the crowd caught sight of Doyle there.
were some cheers which some Of Doyle
followers in corner tried to keep going
without much effect. Mr.. Cochran got q
warm greeting.
PARKER ECLIPsED BY M'cARnEN.
L. Senator McCarren hadn't put n an ap-
pearance then. The meeting wasn't long
in getting started after that School
Commissioner John Green, as chairman,
opened it with a speech in which he said
that New York had responded this year
to the call OF her sister States.
"She has taken, he said, from her high
est court its chief figure to be the champion,
so that 1t may still be said we live under
government OF laws and not OF men.
As Democrats Of the Empire State, who will
bear the brupt Of this great conflict we go
forth into the conflict with confidence
certain that when the returns are counted
Alton B. Parker will be found to be chosen
by the people of this State and of the nation
At Mr.. Green's mention OF the candi-
but second Mr.. Green started to in
troduce Mr.. Cochran then. He got in tie
middle of sentence, when there came
a commotion at the rear of the hall. Peo-
pie began rising tier by tier. Then from
out the crowd packed about the door ap-
peared the figure of Senator McCarren,
preceded by Capt. Reynolds.
There was not a smile on the Senator's

saw the reception he was getting. Before
he got half way down everybody was
stan ding up, shouting and waving
flags at him. 1t was pandemonium.
"Three cheers for Patrick H. McCarren"
yelled somebody.
They were given, and then nsty-lunged
man climbed up on his chair and yelled
"Hurrah for the leader Of Kings county,"
Again there was a roar Of cheers. three
cheers for Doyle!' yelled the Doyle fol-
lowers. But the crowd was still cheering
for the tall, lean figure going down the aisle
toward the platform, where sat Doyle and
the other leaders, apparently paying no
attention to the remarkable scene. Some
body then tried to start cheer for Leader
Kehoe. Still the crowd couldn't be won
away from cheering McCarren.

until McCarren reached the platform.
One OF the first men to greet him there was
Doyle. They shook hands and the cheering
stopped Senator McCarren took his seat
then with the came impassive counten-
ance he had preserved all through and Mr..
Green got q chance to 60 on.
Mr.. Cochran got a good many cheers
when he stood up, but the crowd was al
most worn out by that time. He hadn't
got very far in his speech when the
sounds OF an advanc ing army were heard
outside the hall, and 1t was hard for him to
make himself heard. He kept on, however,
with his annoyance visibly increasing,
until there was the sound Of row and
then he had to stop.
What does this meant" he asked. There
were shouts for Leader Kehoe from the
marchers and 1t was hopeless for him to
20 on. Finally the advancing phslanx
was met half way down the aisle by police
men and driven back. Then Mr.. Cochran
resumed.
