PACKY MCABE PROVIDES AN UP
POARIOUS DE MONSTRATION,

Met 11N III f9dIuIORd WIZ ObAlN 10y VIM
william r. Hearst that he would get up a
meeting in Albany that would knock the
,nots on ANYTHING Mr.. Hearst had yet seen.
New York city not excepted.
"Jnst watch me- said McCabe. Watch
ne make good
Tonight Mr.. McCabe made good. With
the single exception Of the mass meeting
which Mr.. Hearst advertised last Monday
night in Madison Square Garden, the dem
onstration here tonight was the biggest
and ~liveliest his appearances anywhere has
provoked. The face Of Packy McCabe was
as cheerful as a harvest moon.
well. boys. said he over and over again,
snow what dye think of this. McCabe de-
uyeredthe goods, hey? That crowd down n
New York didn't ave anything on this, eh1'
In Harmanus Blocker Hall Mr.. Hearst
smoke before an audience Of perhaps 5000
people. The most extravagant part oil his
speech follows:
We do not know what particular out
rage, what final blow to popular institutions.
20 American rights and liberties may be
dealt at this election. but We do know that
every trust owned officer in every branch
Of the Government win do his best to defeat
the will Of the people and to continue the
trusts that suckle him in power. IL Is con-
Ndsnce in such crimes. belief in such betrayal
Of the people by such officials, that allows
Wall Street to scorn these demonstration
Of popular feeling and to laughingly bet
a 90 I that the immense majority Of the
reople OF New York will not be able to prevail
against the power of corrupt wealth.
think the election in New York city last
year was won by not less than 10000. l
think the election In Greater New York this
scar will be won by from 100. 900 to $4,000
n the people are not by some treachery de-
prived Of their rights IA citizens. l be-
heve that will be about the majority in the
whole State. az | do not think the Republic
can party will be able to bear its load OF popu-
lar condemnation and stagger 70 the har-
lem River with any majority at all.
warned the people last year that immense
sums would be used to defeat them. thnt the
great trusts and corporations would go to any
length TO defeat them. The people listened,
but doubtless hardly believed that so serious
a situation menaced them. vet the result es-
tAblished the truth Of every warning l had
given them. Tonight ! solemnly warn the
people Of this State thai even more desperate
measures will be taken by the co rrupt corpo-
rations at this election.
All that Belmont and Ryan and Morgan and
Rockefeller and Rogers spent TO buy or bride
or steal the Mayors chair for their puppet,
Mcclellan. will be lost il a Governor and Legis-
Ature are elected who will see to IL that the

estly counted as cast. Then the bought and
branded cattle Of the trusts would be driven
out of office or removed for criminal COM
plicity and all the greedy hopes of gain Of
these financial outlaws would be destroyed.
You can easily see that these trust bucca-
neers, these financial freebooters. these politi-
cal pirates will not tolerate honest conditions
II their wealth and power can prevent. They
will not tolerate honest elections II their
wealth and power can prevent. They will
not permit an expression OF the popular Will
n their wealth and power can prevent. They
will not allow their accomplices in office TO be
removed II their wealth and power can prevent.
II the criminal trusts and corporations can
control the machinery OF both the old parties
and stine any independent movement. what
relief can you hope to securef You may
nominate candidates. but only such candidates
as your corporation masters approve. You
may cast your vote, but your vote will be
counted only when your corporation masters
approve. You are free born American ctti-
gems, but you retain only such rights and
liberties as your corporation masters allow
you. You conduct your own government,
but only In the way that your corporation
masters desire.
Every wear the grip OF the trusts tightens,
every year IL IL more difficult TO relax that
grip from your threats. Every year your
fight for political freedom becomes more
dinfcult.
Ny friends, il all these things are true that
lhave stated, and / have attempted to state
them without passion or prejudice, then our
American ideals and our republican Govern
ment are dangerously near their md.
Driving to the hall at the head of a parade
Of 1, 500 or more, Mr.. Hearst passed between
solid walls Of people all along State street
and Washington avenue. Cannons boomed
bonhres blazed, red fire lit up the whole
line Of march and half a dozen bands cut
loose full lung power. .
Mr.. Hearst got here a little past 4 O'Clock
this afternoon. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Hearst. They were met at the depot
by Mr.. McCabe, Harry. j. Mccain, Jacob
L. Ten Eyck and a mixed delegation O.
Democrats and Ieaguers. The leaguers
kept in the background, however. II wa
McCabs's show and he wasn't encouraging
buffers in. The delegation escorted Mr.,
Hearst to the Hotel Ten Eyck: There
weren't more than fifty people at the depot
when the candidate got there, and he at
tracted little attention on the way 10 the
hotel. II didn't look very suspicious, but
Mr.. McCabe maintained his cheerfulness
and winked owlishly.
up. and half an hour later many. things
began TO happen. In front OF the Ten
Eyck the crowd began TO swell and grow
until it reached for -four blocks up and
down State street and completely jammed
that unusually wide thoroughfare. There
were at least 5000 people packed in front
Of the Ten Eyck before Mr.. Hearst started
for Harmapus Blocker Hall.
A little after 8 o'cloc a parade, made
up Of the Albany Democratic Club, the
Young Mems Democratic Club, the indie
pendence Leaguers and the Printers Hearst
Club, arrived at the hotel and six bands
let go at once. Most Of the paraders were
silk hated and frock coated. Mr.. Hearst
slipped out of the hotel by a side entrance,
got into a carriage with the smiling Mr..
McCabe and MIR. Ten Eyck and led the
way to the hall
Clarence J. Shearn was talking when
Mr.. Hearst arrived. telling the audiences
that three months after Mr.. Hearst took
the Governors chair the price OF gas In
Albany would be reduced from $50 q
thousand cubic feet to less than 81. loud
cheers Harry j.. McCann, who had turned
the meeting over TO Jacob L.. Ten Eyck, the
, permanent chairman, didn't get a chance
70 make a speech. Mr.. Hearst walked TO
the iootlights, got a minute and a half of
cheering and sailed right into his speech.
The audience didn't make all the noise
that a crowd Of its size was capable Of,
but Mr.. Hearst seemed to DO pleased with
his reception.
Mr.. Hearst left Albany at $50 o'clock
by special trolley car for Troy. Mr.. McCabe
and Mr. Mc(ann aefad an his aaoorf Ha
