But Mr. Hay Says It Was Only a Brief Lucid Interval
SAME SPOTTED LEOPARD
Address at New York in Which the Secretary Of State Appeals to the State for Its Own Honor to Cast a Majority for Roosevelt.

New York, Oct. 26.-The crowd at the republican mass meeting in Car uegie hall tonight was so largely at tended that ahe doors were loCHed at 2: 30 o'clock. At that time au available space within the hall was filled and several thousand people were crowded about the entrance seeking admission
 John Hay, secretary of state, was given an ovation when he appeared. 4 band played and flags were waved in every part of the house while tb 2 au dience cheered. The audience rose as one man when the presiding officer characterized President Roosevelt "as man whom all admire and love" Great cheering greeted Secretary Hay as he arose. He said in the course O. his address,: Al every election We hear that there should be rotation in offce-that neither party should be continually in power. None of us deny that there is some truth in this conten- tlon There should be occasional change in the government; there may ] fe whenever two things happen: When the republicans forsake their record and the democrats get rid of theirs. : Again ] say We are not so silly as to claim any individual superiority, moral or intellectual, over our opponents. 1t would be absurd to say that nearly half our people are devoid of the high l est civic virtues. But the simple truth is they are badly led. They made a mistake. depioTable past all computa- ton, in 1860, and they have not re- . covered from it yet. First there was slavery exte.- sion, then secess.On. then i IepudiatiOn, and pOpulism and free 1 siIYer--a hopeless succession of mis- takes. It is most dificult-we hope . 1t will not be impOssible-for rhem to l extricate themselves from such a Ser bonisn bog. We all earnestly desire the day when the two parties may en- ter JAe lists under equally sane and safe leading. IL is painful tO say that day. has not yet dawned.
 There was S moment this year when we had hopes of a salutary } change ln the democratic attitude. They were travel-s5aIned and unhappy with their Wanderings in the wilder ness in 1896 and 1900. They seemed to have made up their minds that free trade, repudiation, and anarchy were out Cf date and unbecOnlng-that theg no longer appealed to the public taste. So they tried to get as near to the republican platform as possible Some Of their leaders apparently intended when they went to St Louis. to say

But the instinct of blun- derins was too strong for them. As soon as they got together the DOW Of the mass asserted itself They turn ed down the gold standard proposition, they declared protection to be robbery. and came out datly for the immediate abandonment of the Philippines. Then they tried to make up for the de- structfVe platform by nominating what they called conservative candidates for the presidency, a gold standard or at least gilt standard. man, wno ina

 W Ith this harlequin ticket and tim idly radical platform they have gone to the country and little by little thai. weil-meant disguiSe has worn into tat ters and the party appears in it's old familiar shape. Its reliance is. as of yore, on the solid south, which means an appeal to racial hatred, and or Tamrlany Hall, which means organized l CoIruption'
 Concluding. Mir. Hay said: 'gThis ex- traordinary campaign is drawing to a close. On the Sth of November the pickering and confusion of tongues will cease. The people who have been filling the air with islander of the man who has so well and so nobIy served the country will recognize with grat- ltude his excellent work, and will be glad they are still to enjoy the benefits of it.

 we shall see as plain as day what we have gained by a. republican victory. no new or untried courses, but a con tinuance of the policies which have proved so fruitful in advantage for the last fifty years. The constitution. our great charter or public and private rights, will be found intact The doc Urine of protection, givel forth by Washington and Hamilton. ampliffed and perfected by the experience of a century of trial, will still be avaiIa hle to fill our treasury and to foster our manufactures. The gold standard of currency and our banking laws in the hands of those who established them and who do not have to protest the sincerity of their adherence to them will keep our finances firm as the hills. The principle of nationality. derived from our revolutionary fathers and consecrated by tlIe blood and toll of the civil War, will guard this indis- soluble union of indest; uctible states against all attack from within or with out. The Atlantic and Pacific oceans will still be equally the field of our trade and commerce. Our possessions beyond the seas will be governed with hrmness and liberality, with an ever increasing measure of freedom. as they develop the faculty of seif-con- trol. We shall continue to treat our sister republics of this hemisphere as
