rick Receives a Noisy Welcome.

At Carnegie Hall last evening D-cady
Herrick received what some of the men
who have been travelling about the State
with him say was the most impressive re-
ception he has so far received in the cam
paign 1t somewhat resembled the great
demonstration that followed Elihu Roots
mention of President Roosevet's name in
Madison Square Garden couple OF weeks
ago,
But even more impressive was the dem
onstration made at the mention OF Cover
moro hartman Odell's name by William b.
Hornblower. tie chairman of the meeting.
Toward the end Of his speech, Mr.. Horn
blower said
Il understand that the name OF Benjamin
b. Odell. Jr.. was actually cheered in this
hall few nights ago"
Then followed scene which was thus
commented on by an old gentleman who
cat near Sun reporter
Il am 10 years old and ! have taken
somewhat active part in political cam
pa igns for the last fifty years. Never be-
fore in my experience did man holding
high Office ever get such fearful mani
iestation of the peoples scorn.'
Mr.. Eonblower had no more than finished
tie sentence quoted above when nearly
half the audience arose. as if desiring to
stand up and be counted, and hooted
and groaned and Kissed Tor what seemed
several minutes. Those who remained
seated joined in, until it seemed as If the
big auditorium was filled with angry snakes
and men in great agony.
When the noise quoted down a little
Mr.. Hornblower continued: And we now
lave the spectacle of the Governor Chair
man, for the sake Of party and self, or,
perhaps / should say for the sake Of party
and pelf---"
Nobody will ever know just how the
sentence would have ended The audience
howled and laughed for a few seconds,
Then they had another spell OF booing and
kissing, and when they saw the Horn
blower smile beaming out above them
they began laughing again.
The meeting was arranged by the College
Mems Parker and Davis Club. Frank
Patterson, secretary of the club, called the
meeting to order and nominated Mr.. Horn
blower for chairman. Mr.. Hornblower
got a very cordial reception and spoke for
about an hour almost entirely on national
issues. He argued for tariff reform, as
against free trade, and said that President
Roosevelt was the first one of important
public men to assert that protective tariff
should be made permanent institution.
The speaker had some fun with the Presi-
dents rdescrlption OF college professors
who mako a specially OF political economy
Is "those professional councillors who
have confined themselves 10 study In the
closet After Mr.. Hornblower lad quoted
Prof. Sumner OF Yale and Prof. Daniels of
Princeton as to their notions OF the tariff
he received great applause when ne said:
! Il, for one, prefer the views OF these men
Of the closet to those Of the man in the
White House."
In speaking of the Panama affair, Mr..
Hornblower denied that there was n Repui1-
lican or any other form of government on
the Isthmus at the time the revolution
began, and he also denied that there was
any Republic of Panama, de jrIe, de facto,
or de anything else"
AN there WIS.," said Mr.. Hornblower,
was Junta tthc speaker pronouncedit
exactly as it is spelled) composed of three
men, who declared themselves to be the Re-
public Of Panama If three members Of our
C:ty Council should get together and declare
the State of New York to be free and indie
pendent, and If the King Of Great Britain
should proceed TO recognize the Republic Of
New York and instruct his ambassador at
Washington to notify the United States
Government that, by practically unanimous
consent, tie people Of the State o. New
York had revolted and had established a
republican form OF government, and that
the United States Government must not
land troops within fifty miles of New York
x,f.y Il h.,
was that unveracious telegram sent by the
President of the United States to the Re-
pubic o" Colombia"
Nh. Fornb!owcr said no wouldn't discuss
state ifsu-,., boca'se n man than whom
there is nous more brilliant. or more hblc,
or moro honest, is here to talk State is
suos.' Then Judge Herrick was intro
duced and the fun began. The people
took their cheering and applause standing
up and sitting down, or any old way that
seemed handy, so long as they could show
their approval of the Democratic candidate
for Governor.
After the demonstration had lasted some
thing over n minute, in which the under
graduates Of the New York universities
and colleges took the lead, Mr.. Hornblower
raised his hand in protest. That only in
creased the noise. 1t kept up for another
minute and then Judge Herick lifted his
hand, but still the cheers and applause
kept up. Then Mr.. Hornblower and Judge
Herrick raised both hands.
That didn't do any good, either, and
after the demonstration had lasted about
three minutes some OF those who wanted
to hear the spe ech began to hiss. To them
the Judge nod ded approval. Finally. he
was able to make himself heard, and said:
Boys. give me chance"
There was hearty laughter at this. and
some Of the boys shouted back:
We will because you're all right"
Then the Judge proceeded ito talk ex-
temporaneously. In doing 30 he made
good his statement that, when j get used
70 this stump speaking again, after being
out OF the habit for fourteen years, maybe
In be able to talk without notes Con-
tihuing. the Judge said:

am expected to address another meeting
tonight in another part Of the city and ]

and bottle up your enthusiasm until leave
the hall: 1t 10 an inspiring thing to see
