BIO MEETING IN FULTON.
Mr.. Hughes began his days campaigning
with n speech at 1880 o'clock in the morning
before 700 people in Stephens Opera House,
Fulton, Oswego county. The ground was
covered in hat region with a two inch
blanket of snow and the big soft flakes
were still falling when the candidates.
train pulled into Fulton. IL was about
the most miserable weather that has con-
fronted the Hughes campaign party since

snowstorm early in October. Yet the
opera house at Fulton was full to the doors.
The big factories in the town., the American
Woollen Mills, which employ more than
900 persons, and the Hunter Arms Com
pany shops, had closed down to give the
~wOrkingmen a chance to hear the candidate.
The audience WAS made up largely Of men
from the factories, but there were also a
good many who, Drawing the storm and
sloppy roads, had driven in from the rich
dairy districts surrounding the
Mr.. Hughes got a splendid reception from
the crowd. He expressed his appreciation
for the remarkable turnout at the early
morning meeting'in these words: 1T does
not seem to make any difference what time
OF the day it il or what the weather ia, we
have good meetings in this campaign.
The voters come out and they are earnest
and listen TO sober discussion of the issues
prevented to U.S."
MIR. Hughes started of with this point
blank statement The people Of this
State know that / did not seek the nomina-
ton" Shouts Of That's right" and We
know it" greeted the assertion, and they
were followed a moment later by cheers.
Mr.. Hughes took up again the Hearst
Murphy deal at the Buffalo convention,
clothing the thoughts which he has ex-
pressed before in new words. Said he:
The people OF this State will not forget
the Buffalo convention. No profession, no
platform speech. no glib utterance OF desire

object lesson Of ambition which the Buffalo
convention furnished.
Talk about purity in politics, talk about
reforming political methods, why, the
very source of political purity is III seeing
that men are selected in an honest way TO
serve a. delegates in n political convention
and that when they are elected they are
not cheated out Of their seats by trickery.
you have got TO deal with these
matters in a frank and direct way, ami
there is not a man here but what Knows
the way in which the nomination at Buffalo
was achieved. Delegates honestly elected
we're thrown out. Delegates that had a
right to be heard were not allowed TO be
heard. Everything was done u put one
man in control of n so-called Democratic
convention. One man wanted Office, an
other man wanted TO continue control
of New York county. One man wanted
the electoral machine Of a great party,
another man wanted to put Judges whom
he would appoint upon the oench IN New
York county and 10 secure his local control.
These two ambitions met together, and
then came an understanding with each
other, and the result was a nomination
made under circumstances which dehed
Democratic principles and which have
driven honest Democrats TO the support
of my candidacy"
Mr.. Hughes concluded his speech TO the
Fulton folks with these words:
I'VE believe in tho gospel Of good will,
n not Of i'll will. We believe in spreading
broadcast the seeds OF brotherly love. and
not Of contempt for everything that is
good and honorable. And SO we shall adj
vance, holding what IL good, preserving
our prosperity, giving greater advantages
to labor, increasing our business ACTIVITIES,
and, on the other hand, dealing with every
abuse that exists in a desire to act con-
structively, to maintain our government
pure and clean and to serve the interests OF
every citizen Of the State
After his speech the candidate shook
hands with several hundred people.
RoUsING MEETING IN AUBURN.
Mr.. Hughes addressed a rousing noon
day meeting in Auburn, Cayuga county,
the home of Tor Osborne. 1t was evident
at the start that Mayor Osborne's repudia-
ton OF Hearst had won over in Auburn
hundreds Of old line Democrats. Mr.,
Hughes in the course of his speech made
il PLAIN that ne honOred the man OF differ
ent political faith who was independent
enough and honest enough to vote accord
ing to his convictions. He promised 10 DE
the Governor of all the people. Democrats
and Republicans alike, without regard TO
partisan ties. At every mention by the
candidate of the Democrats h were for
him the big armory rams witt cheers.
the factories had been closed 20 give the
employees a chance TO attend the meeting.
The weather at Auburn was fully as bad
as at Fulton, but more than l,oOO people
turned out. Every seat in the armory
was taken and three or four hundred stood
up. As Mr.. Hughes entered the hall a
great cheer rang out, then every man in
the place jumped to his feet. For two or
three minutes there was a deafening racket.
Hats were thrown in the air and other
things lone which reminded one OF a good,
enthusiastic metropolitan audience. The
enthusiasm kept up with Intermittent out
breaks during the entire speech: Gen.
William II. Seward presided and intro
duced the candidate. Mayor Osborne was
in the crowd. but did not occupy a place on
the platform. Mr.. Hughes said. among
other things:
campaign, but we are going through these
last days with our courage strong and our
confidence undiminished, and with every
reason TO believe that the intelligence OF
the people OF this State will have n decisive
expression on the 9th Of November" IAp-
