Special Dispatch to The Star.

| ical expressions but it is rather a serious
| matter when his speakers on the platform
| openly advocate the parading of moD
| down Broadway carrying ropes and nooses
| for the political leaders of the opposition
| 1t is a sinister fact that this kind OF talk
| is received with applause by certain classes
| of New York's population. Down on the
| East Side there are many thousands OF men
who would willingly take up the Hearst
| idea and 20 it one better. They would not
| only carry the ropes and the nooses, but
| would utilize them New York is becom-
| ing alarmed over the trend of the Hearst
| campaign.
| 1t is not believed that he can win. but t
is realized that he is arousing a spirit Oh
socialism that can very easily become ram
| nant and run to red flags. 1t is feared that
| MIR. Hearst may be creating Frankensteln
which will get beyond his control. ms
| speakers make the most vicious attacks
| upon capital and wealth, and line upon
line and by precept upon precept teaching
the ignorant and the unlearned to peIes@
| that they are being robbed and fostering
| spirit of revenge against the upper classes.
Will Give Dollar for Dollar.
Mr.. Hearst is spending lavish sums IN
| the campaign, as has been stated before
| and now comes out in an appeal for puplc
| contributions, promising to contribute out
| Of his own pocket dollar for dollar, that Is
sent in by the public
| Judge WINS, the candidate for mayor on
| the republican ticket, opened his campaign
| last night with a speech at Carnegie Han.
He had a fairly good audience; IL enc, ond @ non ,n-
| rome and Hearst. The judge read his re
| marks from manuscript, and did not set
| ANYBODY on fire. New York has quickly
and readily sized up his campaign, ana
acta time him,
| On every side one can hear repuollcans
declaring that they will vote for Mcclellan.
| The yellow peril of Hearstism Is imminent
enough to make conservative men feel that
they cannot afford to risk losing their vote
by casting it for the republican ticket that
| is doomed to defeat. They say they nave
| had Tammany before and survived, but
| they don't know what would happen II the
| long haired, wild-eyed crowd that is follow
| ing Hearst should gain control of Greater
New York. Judge WINS in his speech last
| night reiterated his statement that II eject
ed he would take steps to condemn the gas
| plant and buy it for the municipality
Brooklyn Enthused for Hearst.
| Brooklyn Is very much enthused over
Hearst. The fact cannot be denied that the
reception given to Mayor Mcclellan at three
meetings in Brooklyn last night could not
compare with the ovation which Hearst re-
ceived in the same community the previous
l x.
| not construe this difference in the public
| attitude to their own disadvantage.
| They declare that people come to the
| Hearst meetings out of curiosity and that
| the reason they do not attend the Tam
| many meetings Is because their minds are
| made up to vote for Tammany anyhow
and there is nothing novel in Mayor Nc
| Clellan's appearance upon the platform.
| Mayor Mcclellan makes a conservative
| and temperate address, modestly referring
to the record of his administration. Here
| is a verbatim sample of how Mr.. Hearst
| appeals to the voters: 1t may be. Mr..
! Rentpayer that your interest should be
| more intense than that of any other citi-
| zen in the city If your car fare can be
| reduced. If your rent can be reduced. II
YOUR gas bills can be reduced, If your whole
scheme of life can be improved, II you and
| your wife and your little ones can live bet
| ter, cleaner, saner lives in our great city,
| then 1t does make difference now you
vote at this election.
Devery on Deck Again.
| But the campaign has its lighter side.
| Your old friend Bill Devery is on deck
| again. Devery IS a forgivng cuss. AL
though Tammany threw him out and
stamped on him, he has wiped off the old
score and is advocating the Tammany
| ticket Hear him: 'I've heard tell lot
about this municipal ownership he said.
| WHO is this fellow Hearst, anyway? y?
| What's he ever done about municipal own
| ershp? We stood on platform of munich
| pal ownership two years ago, didn't we, but
| did that fellow Hearst say anything about
| us in his paper? Did he support municipal
| ownership then? Didn't we want to give
| the children Scent rides to school, and
| didn't we want to take them tunnels and
| whatever like that we wanted to handle,
| so that the people would get the benefit?
| But where Willie then? He said that
| / was as crooked as Pearl street, which
| hits Broadway twice.
| .sMc(rIallan hasn't done well he
| might but he's done pretty well, and We've
| got to keep regular, or we'll never have
| any standing in democratic convention
| don't care any more for Murphy than 1
| ever did. AS far jerome Is concerned.
| we've never had such a district attorney
| and it's up to the people to put him back.
| He's given every man a square deal, and
although he's held a pistol at my stomach,
| I've always been able to look him in the
eye, and he's fought on the level Let us
| have an honest upright district attorney.
| Vote for Mcclellan. for the old life, for
! graft and loot and the never-ending mis-
| cries of bad municipal government, con-
Quoted to give millions of wealth to Ryan,
Belmont and the great trusts and the drip
| pings of thousands and thousands to the
| Daras.tes, the wealth bugs Murphy and
| McCarren, or vote for the regime under
| which the city will be administered to ben

Jerome's Campaign.
| Mr.. Jerome's independent campaign Is
being financed by popular subscription
| He has extensive headquarters at the Gill
sey House and maintains staff. He will
have no others to speak for him. but will
| go over the city himself and appeal to the
| voters for their support: 1t cannot be de-
| MED that Mr., Jerome appeals strongly to
the reform element of the city, but it al
| ready is apparent that his campaign Is to
| be weakened by the interjection of his per-
| sonal fortunes. AT the outset, 1t viii be
| observed, he -devotes quite as much of his
remarks TO venting his disappointment
| over not being nominated on one of the
| tickets. as to criticism of existing political
conditions His auditors at the meeting In
Carnegie Hall Wednesday night got the Inn
