! thusiasm at Carnegie Hall last evening. when
he began his campaign of speechmaking at an
! enormous meeting. held under the auspices OF
| the Republican County Committee. 1t was his
first experience as a Republican candidate be

to be both surprised and pleased by the warmth
of the greeting

directed attention forcibly to the plan of Tam
many leaders to move Mayor Mcclellan up to
the Governorship, in the event of a Tammany
| victory at the coming election and to have fun
| control of the city government for purposes Of
honest graft" for three years. 1t was plain
| that the audience regarded this as one of the
| important issues of the campaign to be kept
! steadily in view.
Carnegie Hall was filled with and women
of intelligence and refinement, who were able to
understand and appreciate the speech in which
Mr.. WINS defined the issues of the municipal
! campaign. They had not met him before but
when he was introduced by ex-Mayor Low they
arose and cheered him with a heartiness that
could not be counterfeited.
For seven minutes by the watch the people
stood in the hall, cheering and waving flags. At
first Mr.. WINS simply looked dazed. Then he
showed his pleasure by a smile. AS the cheer
ing continued however. he turned Mr.. Low
with a request for chance to be heard Mr..
Low waved his hand for silence in vain The
band played America and the cheering turned
to singing until the band stopped. only to become
cheering again.
In time the audience wearied and sank into
seats and Mr., WINS could speak. He was
prompt TO acknowledge the compliments of the
long and hearty applause. saying
l thank you heartily for your welcome. and
shall say nothing about my pride in 1t. because
the the firing line has no time to think
of pride That shall he thought of after cleo
tion, when we hold gratifcation-and l as
sure you such a meeting WIFI be held,
MR.. IYINS'S SPEECH.
Mr. WINS was applauded frequently in the
course of his speech, the larger part of which

to say about city control Of the city railways
and about municipal ownership and direction of
lighting plants His expression of belief that his
election was not merely possible but probable
met with a ringing response Mr. WINS said:
