Cheers for IUins and Silence for Nc
CIeUan at Meeting.

To a crowded and enthusiastic meeting at
Columbus Hall in West G0th-st., District Attor-
ney Jerome last night again declared his con-
fidence in the result of the election and made
what is believed to be his final reference to his
Tammany opponent, James w. Osborne. His
reference restrained and in its essence
an appeal for charity. Apart from this in
cident the main feature of the meeting was
the enthusiasm manifested for William Ran
dolph Hearst. A reference to the Municipal
Ownership candidate made by one of the speak
ers, George Haven Putnam. elected prolonged
dernonstra ton. reference to William M. WINS,
the Republican candidate, also aroused enthusi-
asm but Mayor McClellan's name was received
in absolute silence. When District Attorney
Jerome mentioned Mr. Murphys name there
was an outburst of kissing that surpassed any
simfler demonstration at a Jerome meeting
in the campaign
Regarding Mr. Osborne Mr. Jerome said, with
evident feeling:
not running against Osborne. 1t would, perhaps be

which I really am nothing: am not running
against Murphy. Really, it is not Jerome against
Osborne not Jerome against Murphy: the
issue is really the people against the bosses
Concerning his own campaign Mr. Jerome
said, with note of confidence that aroused the
enthusiasm of his audience:
"a All over this country attention IS focused on
tnis thing not because OF me not because IT Il is

In his speech Mr.. Jerome said: IT'S not poll
tics that makes the boss, it's politics out of
which the boss makes IT." Referring to Nc
Gowan he said:

the previous night regarding the possibility of
MCGOWAN being ringer He hasn't been
mugged, they say in the Bowery, he de-
clared. His measurements haven't been taken.
We don't know whether he is a gospel mixer or
drink mixer
Job e Hedges who made a witty speech
which caught the crowd, won particularly warm
applause when he said
"On November going to blow the gas
out. and some people will be asphxiated."
