Great Crowd Listens to Hlm--Outdoor
 Meeting Necessary.


 New York, Oct. 22.-The announce u1ent that William R. Hearst, who heads the Independence league and democratic state tickets, as we'll as other candidates on these tickets, would address a meeting held under the aus plces of the league tonight, served a draw a crowd that put a premium on standing room in Madison Square Gar den.
 After all who could be comfortably accommodated had been admitted those left outside were entertained with moving picture show and later ad- dressed by speakers from the indoor meeting.
 MT. Hearst made the principal speech In the garden. His arrival and his ap- pearance upon the platform were sig nals for enthusiastic demonstrations, and the applause and cheering were re- newed frequently. MT. Hearst had much to say concerning corporations, and something about his oponent on the republican ticket
 Band music and vocal selections pre- ceeded the speechmaking, and when the band struck up "The Star spangled Banner the thousands in the great auditorium rose and, waving tiny American flags, joined in the words of the song,
 MT. Hearst opened his address by I ro ,,S,,c tbot IA bad j1cA rat,,rpad prouj tour upstate in the so-called repub- lcan counties. and declared that he would come down to the Harlem river with majority, and that all the votes he would get in thecity would be 'vel- vet. He believed, he said that he would be elected governor with a ma- jority of 150,OOO.
 MT Hearst told ihow lie had fought the trusts" in the interests of the peo- pie, He first fought and killed the gas and fuel trust aud next tackled the '.ice trust" and put the 'ice trust may or out of office. He then made war on the "beef trust and the rebating system.
 When the eighty-cent gas law was secured and the gas trust refused tc obey it," the speaker continued, I've went to court and got an injunction tc prevent the shutting off of the gas sup ply of the people. N
 T have fought the World and the Herald" he said, land this afternoon the United States grand jury brought In an indictment against James Gordor Bennett for sending indecent matter l through the mails. And now, my friends, did these things for the public alone, and the greatest proof of my sin. cerity Is the powerful enemies that have made.
 You have been told that I have made corrupt political deas and have mad, no deals at all. l have made no more deals with Murphy than I have witt McCarren."
 MT. Hearst continued
 While 1 have been away New Yorl newspapers have been lying as indus triously and consistently and recklessl. as ever. They have had this time { little assistance on the side from Boss Murphy, the gentleman whom the news papers have declared to be so enthusi astically for me.
 If the lying newspaper proprietor and editors of this town were all pu on oath before the grand jury there i hardly political statement that the, have made during the whole of thi campaign that they would nt be com peled to retract and admit false il every particular.
 "There has never been a more dis graceful spectacle in American journal ism than this long line of envious ed itors viciously bowling their lies t
 heaven like dogs paying at the moon
 There has never been more pitifu sight than the crowd of New Tor Il newspaper proprietors. degenarate ex . nonents of commercialism rather tha journalism, who are spotted from hea = to foot with the mire in which the
 have been wallowing, and who fran r tically follow Tailyrand's advict Throw mud, throw mud, some of 5 may stick and most of 1t has stuck the throwers.
 - "They have told you that my news l papers were a trust. as if the people (
 New York were ignorant children an 8 did not know what trust war. a trust is a combination formed to rais It the price of product or limit the ou U put
 When I came to this city did nt '- increase the price of newspapers, but n reduced them, and I compelled u l. World and Times and other newspape
 to come down in price. Again, when if came to New York you were getting tt o and twelve pages day in your paper y and I did not only cut the price, b, T. doubled the output. Did you ever kno E- of a trust that halved the price al 'l doubled the product! u "secondly, my friends, these frenzf " papers and my political opponents t, l YOU I am insincere. Insincerity is IL 1. say something you do not mean. to pr T. T. fess something you are not willing at perform"
 . ~ Mir. Hearst enunciated the fights " had made on corporations and for ,e s honest ballot count and eontipued:
 q will never cease fighting the F. cases and if necessary will spei ot svorv dollar have in the world to ha ,nl tbose votes counted as cast.
