Judge Parker's Arrival.
men Judge Parker arrived at Cooper
Union at S:23 O'clock Before his ar
rival there was display of bombs
and other fireworks i'm the square
north OF the building. The candidate
was warmly cheered by the crowds
about the building. He entered by the
platform door on Fourth avenue He
was shown 10 the stage by officers Of
The union in charge Of the meeting
and met Mr.. Schurz, the chairman, i'm
full view Of the audience. They clasped
hands in a greeting that lasted fully
minute. while the crowd looked ON and
given the candidate was but a repeti-
ton OF others that have been given
him in New York. and in fact on every
occasion where he has made public ap-
pearances. The demonstration cOntin-
ued eight minutes before he was per-
mitted to begin his speech.
Great Demonstration.
Cooper Union was filled long before
the meeting opened. The band played
gJatrioIic music and the audience
cheered for the candidate again and
again before the meeting opened. The
FIRST great demonstration was at 7:45
o'clock. when Mr.. Schurz arrived. A
few minutes later fthe meeting was
called 20 order by Herman Ridger. who
introduced Mr.. Schurz as chairman.
The presiding officer has not been we'll
and he spoke with considerable effort,
making his only address OF the cam
paign. He said in part: -
schurz' Speech.
When forty-four years ago first
stood on this platform TO advocate the
election of the presidency of Abraham
Lincoln, we strOve to break the power
of the slave baron which sought To Sc
cure control Of the government. Now
The issue Is TO break the power of an
other force. which is seeking to enrich
itself through the protective tariff, a
force which seeks to perpetuate the
benefits secured by a system Of stu
TendOus cOrruption-for corruption il Is
corruption reaching into the far cor
nCrs OF our being and spreading demon
alization.
1t is natural that an old fighter of
the slave baron should again enter the
fray. 1t is but Il few years since we
were country living in harmony with
all nations, because we sought to do
Justice Ia all nations. We were the
only nation free from a standing army
and secure i'm our own laws. What are
we now Under Republican rule we
have reached out for possessions. We
have shot down those who were allies
in the Spanish war people who did not
wrong us i'm any way. This party has
reduced our country to the depth OF
buccaneers.
Searching for Roosevelt.
1T has helped to rob a weak south

I'VE are asked to elect a president
who is the embodiment OF force; a
candidate who tells us that those who
do not agree with him are dishonest.
He divides US into two classes: those
who vote for him and who are patriots
and those who vote against him and
are traitors. Such a spectacle has never
before been presented by president,
and yet how has he changed his posi-
ton? At one time a free trader. now
a protectiOnist; once opposed 70 Amer

Will Answer Election Day.
Because he declares our adherence
TO the traditions of our country to be
either stupidity OF foOlishness we
will give him an answer on
election day which will prove
that protection is the nurse OF
corruption: that the traditions OF
our country must be kept sacred: that
our internal and external policy must
be those of a peaceful nation and not
for political pyrotechnics. The Demo-
cratic party, no matter what the errors
in the past, is today the instrument of
our cOuntry's safety"
Judge Parker's speech was almost en-
tirely devoted 60 the subjects of i'm
perialism and miiitarism. and the sub
jects seemed peculiarly popular with
the audience Of Communications. He
was interrupted frequently with pro-
longed applause. and once when he paid
homage TO Mr.. Schurz personally as one
who had "felt the blighting power" Of
Tnilitarism. Mr.. Schurz came forward
and shook Judge Parker by the hand
and thanked him for his words The
audience stood up and shouted its APP

When we speak Of the growth OF an
