ROCHESTER,. Oct. 9O.-When Mr.. Hearst
started campaigning up State a few weeks
ago the first definite sign of encouragement
he got was in this city. Tonight Rochester
rave him an emphatiCally enthusiastic
reception. Despite u wet snowstorm more
than 10, 900 persons turned out and tramped
ntreets that were inches deep with slush,
jammed four halls to the limit and cfreered
Mr.. Hearst uproariously:
As he left and entered meeting places
hundredsa Of men brushed the police aside
and simply swamped the candidate, grab
hing at his hand hammering him on she
back and cheering themselves out OF breath.
The police arrangements were miserable
and it was owing TO good luck thet Mr..
Hearst was not knocked OF his feet and
rampled on in the crazy rush Of the crowds
70 get close to him.. For downright en-
thusiasm the demonstration in Rochester
exceeded anything Mr.. Hearst has run up
against since the campaign opened.
Mr.. Hearst got to this city tonight at
7 o'clock from ~Canandaigua. Milton r..
Gibbs, chairman of the Democratic organl-
zation Of Monroe county, came on the
special train with him and managed the
demonstration.
Mr.. Hearst drove in a closed carriage to
the first meeting, which was held under a
big tent with soft mud three inches deep
for a floor. The tent leaked and let in
streams of cold water. II wac cold and
thoroughly disagreeable, but / 100 men
waited for two hours standing up for the
candidate to appear.
Among other things Mr.. Hearst said;
Il am glad that the campaign is pretty
nearly over. l have talked myself hoarse
- ,z1rIo b,-,a Gs@at,al 20 n until fhaU
were tired out, | suppose, and altogether it
will be a good thing when the whole thing
is settled, / hope rightly. next Tuesday"
Mr.. Hearst said that Mr.. Hughes did not
like it because he was attacking some of Mr..
HuRhes's friends, but that as long as men
like Pat McCarren were Mr.. Hughee's
friends ne wonld keep on attacking them
and did not intend TO make retraction. A
little later on when he said he was Tired
Of that animated little feather dlster parad-
ing about the State and attacking his sin
certify, . there came a sharp insistent voice,
from the crowd
sPaytyour taxes, Hearst"
There was q hiss or two then the audi
Pnce went absolutely quiet. waiting Tor Mr..
Hearst to make answer. He laug he'd.
waved his hand in the direction OF the man
who wanted TO know and said:
well, my friend, | probably paw a good
deal more taxes than you do or Mr.. Hughes
does, either. l pay all | am assessed for
and ] viii pay more when I am assessed
more"
Startiag from the sloppy tent 10 Colonial
Han, tT. Hearst had TO give up his carriage
and take an automobile TO dodge the mob.
At the door of Colonial Hall more Than
1900 people were standing in the rain un-
able TO- gen into the hail. Police Captain
Ryan and his men there stood back and
watched the candidate desperately strug-
Cling for "A foothold. Apparently Ryan
seemed TO enjoy the unpleasant spectacle

Mr.. Hearst spoke for half an hour AMI got
n reception that exceeded his welcome
in the tent. After another rough and
tumble he got out OF the han and went to
Germanla Hall. On the street were more
than 1000 people thai mobbed the candidate
when he stepped Que of his machine. There
was no side entrance and Mr.. Hearst had
to, struggle up the centre aisle. taking
another curious wrenchiug and pounding
from the crowd.
In Germania Hall, when Mr.. Hearst told
the audience that no lid not want them
TO vote for him unless they believed that
he could be OF more service to them than
che other mar a big fellow rose up in the
gallery and shouted: BY. God. you'll get
-. mine" Others shouted the same thing:
A man on the floor stood up with a bunch OF
bills in his hand and yelled: Here's an even
hundred you win, Governor"
From Germania Hall Mr.. Hearst drove 20
Nieder's Hall, where 5000 people were
waiting for him outside in the rain and over
1000 inside. He had 20 go up three flights
OF steps to get to the hall, audit was a peril
GUS lassage. As at the other halls. the crowd
was enthusiastic and buttet in on the speech
with wells of encouragement
After the meetings there we're more pa
rades in the street, more hands ard more
cheering. Mr.. Hearst went TO the Powers
Hotel and held q reception there shaking
hards with hundreds Of people.
Tomorrow morning and afternoon MIR.
Hearst will make speeches at Medina, Lock
port and Niagara Falls, providing indoor
meetings are arranged. He Will take no
mere chances III the open air; Tomorrow
night Mr.. Hearst Will make three speeches
In .BufalO, one of which " i'll he in Conven-
ton Hall
W. X. Hearst's progress through Seneca
and Ontario counties to-day was interesting
and e~ventful. but hardly a brilliant success.
He spoke in Seneca Falls, Waterloo, Geneva
aud Canandaigua, talking everywhere be-
fore good sized crowds that listened amiably
and were fairly atteDrive, hut which didn't
warm up to the candidate the way audiences
40 in the big factory cities. Al Seneca
Falls and Waterloo Mr.. Hearst and Mr..
Shearn made short talks from one obssrva-
ton platform OF tbs Hearst special train.
At Geneva and Canandaigua they adj
dressed indoor meetings. IL was a cold,
gloomy and depressing day.
There were perhaps 500 people at the
depot in Seneca Falls when the Hearst
special pulled in. II crowd gave a good
humored cheer when Mr.. Hearst stepped
out. and listened to him attentively, but
III Ds ~
ran foul OF the THE man who W ants to know"
when.he wa speaking. He told the crowd
that the line=JIp in this campaign Las be-
come definiteT
a.Ali the people who do not have to work
for a living are behind Mr.. Hughes" said
Shearn, sand all the workers, the bread
winners are behind William r.. Hearst"
Il guess you have never been in Seneca
Fans before" yelled a man in the crowd,
20 the great Joy Of the bunch around the
rear end OF the train. SheaTn paused a
moment, but did not attempt to get back.
A few minutes afterward. while he was
solemnly warning the populace against a
wicked SHUTTER and egg trust he was
interrupted by a determined and lnsistent
VOICE which inquired, Who are the organ
izers OF that air trust you are talking about?'
Shearn promptly named Thomas F.
Ryan and nimblY passed on to warm eulogy
Of Mr.. Hearst. "Give him a chance
shouted the little lawyer. Your minds
AVE been poisoned against him. II he
fails you won't be any the worse on. II
