New York, Oct. 2s.-The crowd at the
republican mass meeting in Carnegie
hall tonight was so large that the
doors were locked at 1880 O'Clock. At
that time all the available space with
in the hall was filled and several thou
sand people were crowded about the
entrances seeking admittance. The
meeting was under the auspices of the
Twenty-ningth district republican or
ganization and State Senator Nathaniel
A. Elsberg presided. John Hay. secre-
tary of state, who made the first speech
was given an ovation when he appear
ed. The band played and flags were
waved in every part Of the house, while
the audience cheered.
Senator Elsberg referred to President
Roosevelt as "the most inspiring Lead
er who ever led a great party to VIC
tory" and the audience rose as one
man when. he characterized the presi-
dent as "a man whom all admire and
love-
Secretary Hay was introduced as
zone of the greatest living Americans
and the foremost diplomat in all the
world. man whose name in every cab
met in the world is synonymous with
honesty and fair dealing
Great cheering greeted the secretary
as he arose and his address was greet
ed with frequent applause.
Secretary Hay spoke, in part, as fol-
lows
This campaign win he memorable in
our annals as one of the quietest ever
known. Rarely in our recollection has
there been so little excitement, so slight
disturbance of the orderly course Of af-
fairs. Why is it that these great as
sizes where eighty millions of people
are to decide in whose hands they are
to place their interests for the next
four years should be approached with
so little noise, with such unusual calm?
Why Is it that the American people are
possessing their souls in repose?
None of us will make the mistake Of
thinking the contest Of this year un-
important. On the contrary it goes
down to the very foundations Of our
rhetoric, it is merely the simple fact to
say that nothing but disaster could fol-
low the reversal of the policies to which
we are indebted for the prosperity OF
the past few years. The country can
not afford to give up the gold standard
and to drift on the shifting currents Of
financial experiment and quackery It
can not afford to give up the principle
and practice Of protection to American
Industries. Any radical meddling with
the tariff would throw a thousand in-
dustries into confusion and bring many
to ruin. Stability, unity of purpose, is
absolutely necessary to the complicated
and delicate machinery of modern bus
mess, where. the change in the price of
a single by-product may vitality affect
the prosperity of a great industry and
may make all the difference between
comfort and want to thousands Of
workingmen and their families. No
body denies that the tariff must from
time to time be revised. But it Is too
evident for argument that the revision
must be intrusted to friendly hands
to those who believe, as matter Of
business and of public morals, in the
policy Of cierishing American manu-
features and of the caring for the we'll
being of millions of American work
men,
Neither can the country afford to i'm
trust it's vast domestic interests to
those who denounce as extravagant
and unconstitutional all money spent
for the general welfare" to promote
which was one Of the special objects
for which the Constitution was brought
into being. Do you want to give our
gallant little army to the care of those
who think it ought to be disbanded, or
our navy-which under this administra-
tion has carried our flag into so many
distant seas, never on a wanton errand
OF hostility, but always as the friend
of American commerce and the protect
or Of our citizens do we want it hand
ed over to the men who say it ought to
be thrown to the scrap heap? Do you
want the Philippines to be abandoned
to be the victims Of misrule at the
hands Of their own agitators, or the
prey of any covetous power that may
wish to enslave them for it's own prof
it? Do we want to sneak out of the
Isthmus of Panama, acknowledge we
haye, no right there, and basely sur
render the hope and the dream of CEN
turies? And do we want to forsake and
repudiate the foreign policy of MeKin-
ley and Roosevelt, which was also the
policy of Lincoln and Monroe, which
had its august origin in the heart and
brain Of George washington, of treat
ing all countries as friends, doing bus
mess with all the peoples of goodwill,
meeting courtesy with courtesy, and
wrong with firmness, being just to all
nations and partial to none?
These are not idle questions. Every
one Of them is directly involved in this
election. On every one of them there
is not a man here tonight but knows
how the republican party stands, In
our platform, in our record, in the
words of our candidates, our views and
out intentions are made knwn to the
world. Our path is marked out for us
so plainly that even if we wanted to
we could not deviate from it. If the
people want a continuation of the pol
icies of the last eight years they know
