Tammany helped William R. Hearst
wind up his campaign in Manhattan last
I. right with a wild whoop and hurrah. Mr..
Hearst's progress from Catherine slip to
Washington Heights was enlivened by
immense crowds, red fire, Tom Foley,
Battery Dan Finn, The MoManus, more
red fire. more crowds and a continuous
Saeer that dro wned out the voice Of the
candidate.
The final night in Manhattan was prac-
tically TamInany's show from start to
finish. Tn leaders got out on the plat
forms and showed themselves, whooping
up the cheers and waving their hats vio-
lently. Tom Foley started the fun; Magis-
trate Finn apparently tried to Guido Foley;
Leader Dalton OF the Ninth tried TO make
q bigger racket for Hearst than either
Foley or Finn and McManus seemingly
endeavored to work up the biggest show
Of all.
most Of Mr.. Hearst's meetings in lower
Manhattan last night were outdoor meet
ings, held in the heart Of thickly populated
districts. Wherever he went there were
crowds that ranged all the way from 5000
z 10 10000; skyrockets ripped and popped
and tenement houses were decorated with
flags and Japanese lanterns.
Mr.. Hearst spoke only a few minutes at
each place. His voice wasn't equal TO a
long talk and he hadn't much time to spend
st any enc meeting. He simply got up on
the platform, gave the crowds a chance TO
yell, told them that he was sure he would
win by 200 900, shocks hands with as many
as possible and whizzed away to the next
meeting in his big automobile. lie seemed
to be delighted with the reception he got.
Particularly in udson street, and Eighth,
Tenth and Amsterdam avenues his prog
ress was uproarious. Along the line the
streets were jammed and the candidate
could have made a speech at every street
corner IL he had had time.
Mr.. Hearst started in at "A little past ;
o'clock at Catherine slip, In Tom koiey's
bailiwick. Leader Foley was on the plat
form smiling when Mr.. Hearst climbed
up. All around the square the tenement
houses were lit up with colored lights and
lanterns and the Windows we're crowded.
Rockets shot up constantly and balls NJ
fire from Roman Candle,Si whizzed over
the speakers stand unComfortably near the
candidnte's head. 1t was perhaps the
most picturesque meeting Mr.. Hearst has
had during the campaign
What he told tho 5000 or more people
that were iamnted around Inc stand he
repeated at practically every meeting.
" have r1adc a good tight" he said,
and we VIII win "A great victory. h
victory will be great ~ the number Of our
plurality, for 1 believe We will win by over
200, 100. IYells, cheers and applalse,l
But the victory will be greater IN an
other way. 1t Will he "a great victory for
the people against, the power of the cor
r1p corporations. Ii will he a greet victory
Tor the Democracy OF Thomas Jefferson
and the Republicanism Of Abraham Lin
coin"
Then Mr.. Hearst warned them to get out
and vote on election day, declaring that
hundreds of thousands of dollars, maybe
millions OF dollars W ould be sppent to defeat
him. He wound up with this o Tues
day, my friends, we will win a great vic
tory. We will restore the power in this
Republic to the people and whip these cor
rlpt corporations out Of the temple OF our
Government"
Magistrate Finn, on a stand in front of
the Huron Club at Hudson and Spring
streets, welcomed Mr.. Hearst energetically.
The Magistrate introduced the candidate
and then swung his derby hat to keep the
cheering going. The crowd didn't want
TO stop and when Battery Dan saw that
Hearst wanted to speak he tried to get the
crowd 70 let w by reversing. the swing Of
Honor, "Orderl Won't you be in Orderl Con-
found you, shut up!" Perhaps 5000 people
~endeavored TO hear Mr.. Hearst there but
only a few hundred could catch what he
was saying.
Little Tim Sullivan's Assembly district
was the next and MIR. Hearst spoke from
o stand at Bedford and Houston streets.
Little Tim wasn't on hand, apparently, at
least nobody could be who had seen
him there, But Uncle Jimmy Oliver did the
honors with a noble sweep Of the Olive
tile. The crowd at Bedford and Houston
streets wasn't any smaller than the Finn

Billy Walker Choctaw Club IN 81. Luke's

hne display of red fire, rockets, roman
candles, banners. lanterns and police. Mr..
Hearst spoke from the balcony to 5000 or
3,S00 cheering people.

he introduced MIR, Hearst, and then stood
by and stroked his pointed beard medita-
lively.
After he left Columbus Hall Mr., Hearst
went on up the West Side, stopping at all
the outdoor ard inside meetings on the

started back down, working toward the
East Side. Up to midnight he had made
seven indoor and -four outdoor talks.
