NEwBuRo, N. Y, Oct Ii.-Gov Odell's
home town never gave more royal well
come to two Democratic orators than 1t
did tonight to Francis Burton Harrison
and Edward NJ. Grout Of New York, who
spoke at the Academy OF Music under the
auspices OF the Parker and Davis Club
Robert II. Barnett presiding.
The speakers arrived here this afternoon
and an informal reception was held for an
hour or more, the corridors Of the hotel
being thronged with people who have hther-
to taken but little public interest in Demo-
cratic politics.
After the reception the local committee
escorted Mr.. Harrison about the city in
carriage and what he saw formed the ma
terial for his opening remarks at the
Academy of Music before an audience OF
/ 800 persons, who gave him reception that
surprised even the old workers OF the party
When Mr.. Barnett concluded his intro
duotion OF Mr.. Harrison by declaring that
as Lieutenant-Governor OF the State OF
New York he would upset some well laid
canal plans, the applause subsidized four
times only to break out again, while flags
waved and men stood in their seats TO
help on the enthusiasm.
Mr.. Harrison said that he banked the
citizens OF Newburg for the earnestness
and cordially Of his reception He had
been led to suppose, he said, that New
burg was thoroughly Republican city.
but after viewing the assemblage and
listening to the applause he had almost
come to the conclusion that either he was
wrong in the presumption, or that great
change had come over the face Of things.
While spending an hour in viewing the
city, he went on, Mr.. Mclean, the State com
mitteeman, had taken pains to show him
some of the historic landmarks of the
Republican party in the immediate vi
cinity. Among other gratifying things,
he had seen the grocery store that has
become 80 famous in State and nation
owing to the fact that 1t has as a stock
holder and prominent promoter the GoV-
ernor OF the Empire State.
Mr.. Harrison declared that one OF the
most cheering signs Of the campaign was
the interest that Is being manifested every
where in behalf OF the cause Of Democracy
by the young men. The Democratic party
is naturally that Of the young ,I men, put Dn.
the young men. those about to cast their
maiden vote, had been induced to desert
the principles of their fathers and follow
after strange gods. Now they are focking
back to the STANDARD.
The young men, said Mr.. Harrison. had
been induced to follow in the wake of the
Republican party because it did things.
This has been held up to them to stir their
blood and make them warm toward their
cause. Mr.. Harrison then undertook to
show by statistics what the Republican
party has done in the past, in each case
declaring that they done the thing az prom
Used, but that in every instance the people
were made to suffer.
Then Mr.. Harrison took up in order the
sections Of the indictment of the Repubh-
can party-the canal frauds, the Furnace
vile scandal in which prominent residents
Of Orange county were principally inter.
ested; the Grannis and O'Connor bills and
the other charges.
At the close OF Mr.. Harrisons address,
which occupied twenty minutes. Edward
NJ. Grout. Comptroller Of New York, was
introduced He spoke for an hour. His
chief topics were taxation and the State
Government under the Odell regime.
He reviewed the administrations OF Odell
and dwelt at length on the assaults made
by laws that affected personal rights. the
attempt to use the judiciary for partisan
purposes, the inequity of the Raines law
and insisted that In case the Democratic
party wins the law should be repealed. -
