20 this country a. the use OF wealth IN q de-
llberate attempt to corrupt public opinion
There are different kinds Of monaces. For
tunately the menace Of q foreign Zoe We
disregard. We have no foreign foes. For
tunately there IL nothing in our institutions
at the present time In regard TO Whlch
a majority Of the people thipk any neces-
sary or important amendment can be made;
The people OF this country are satisfied
with their Constitution; they are satisfied
with their scheme Of government.
"Once get the impression abroad In this
country that the people are susceptible TO an
appeal TO passion, that they can be fooled
by a distortion Of facts, that they can DC
through misstatements, and l tell you BUSH
meas will contract, u prosperity Will yam
ish, trade will contract instead OF expanding,
the opportunities for labor will grow less
and less, and hat which irst excited pas
sion will end in an appeal to anarchy:
to fraud. Even now q warning has gone
forth from the platform on which my oppo-
nent stands in regard to fraud. l tell you,
my friends, il is hardly the place Of one to
cry Fraud who starts his campaign by the
most reckless disregard Of all that pertains
to a free expression Of opinion IN. a con-
vention and, as I am informed, by the most
lavish use Of money for the purpose OF con:
trolling delegates. There will be no fraud
in this election so far as am concerned IN
regard to the candidacy which l ask you 70
I've have heard Of corporation attorneys
advising their clients how they could evaoe
the law, and we may well wonder at the
skill OF the corporation lawyers having
charge OF the corporations in which my
opponent IL interested. To be sure, when
men are etained for the purpose OF aiding
in a given case, when a man has been re-
tanned by my opponent for lighting a cor
rupt monopoly, such as the man L spoke
OF the other night, one VINO mas gwen vaIIeo
service to citizens associations, who
has without pay served the people against
corporate abuses, he was turned down
by my opponent in order that one OF Boss
Murphy's men might have a place on the
ticket. When 1 spoke OF that, my. OPP
ponent saws OF this man, this man OF un-
blemished integrity and professional ability
that he Is a mere hireling.
when will my opponent denounce the
man who now acts with him and manages
his legal department; when will he
aa mere hireling, n throw him
away as no longer essential to his proceed
ings2 The truth Is, no one Is safe from
abuse in this country who stands In his
way. Those once loaded doWn with oon-
tempt are now treated with silent d~eferenoc.

representing all that is corrupt in our %
litlcal life are now taken by the hand. Those
Snoe praised and commended are now
oensured, and there is no line OF consistency
in these actions OF praise and blame, OF
appreciation and opprobrium, except the
of ~self-fnterest and ambition.
Plans had been made for an overflow
meeting in the othalia Hall. but that was
called of.
Mr.. Hughes and his party arrived at olean
at s o'clock In the afternoon. Iney Tere

Of Olean. Mr.. Hughes wont at onos b

William ]. Tully Of Corning, who accom-
panied Mr.. Hughes on his days trip: Frank
l., Bartlett, n. V. v. Franchot n Frank
Sullivan Smith. the Governors brother
At 7 o'clock Mr.. Hughes was driven
down to the Olean House. where for three
quarters Of an hour he was kept, busy shak-
ing hands. A brass band was out to escort
the candidate to the opera house.
Mr.. Hughes traversed the counuee OF
Bseuben, Allegany and Cattaraugus to-day,
making eight speeches besides the two
which he delivered in this CITY tonight.
The Hughes car, made p as a special
train, started out from Corning on the
main line Of the Erie at l015 o'clock this
morning. 1t bore some decorations that
weren't at all pleasing to the local Steuben
county Republican managers. In the
night, while the car was lying on a siding
in Corning, somebody had climbed up on
the roof and written Hearst's name on
it several times with chalk; The car porter
tried TO u it of, but the letters stuck fast
and were plainly visible to many in the
course Of the day.
Addison was the fret stop made by the
Hughes train. The candidate delivered
a ten minute "a tail address there TO q
crowd OF 200 and then jumped down and
held a reception. About the same number
greeted Mr.. Hughes in Canisteo.
At Horneu the candidate was weIcomed
by a crowd Of 700. A platform had been
erected near the station, and from his
on the frin to Oiesn. The crowd wasn't
very demonstrative at first, but It warmed
IN az Mr.. Hughes worked into his address,
and at the end the candidate got q rouslng
round OF cheers. Mr.. Hughes TOOK up a
new editorial printed in one OF MT hearsts
Illustration Of Hearst's political insincerity.
He said:
dAy which said hat because the corpo-
rations dodge their taxes and because the
enormously rich men commit perjury 70
escape taxation, the whole thing falls on
the hundreds OF thousands OF little homes
which means that all the expenses OF this
most expensive city OF the world New
York; comes put Of your rent bill
= Mr.. Hughes said that sounded iamiiae;
that that was Q sample OF the kind OF talk
we have had for q long time. But when it
Is put alongside of his opponents action
in organizing his Newspapers 80 as TO a
taxation, where, he asked, does the ques'
ton Of political sincerity standG Mr.. Hughes
vent on:
Il tell you n a man wants to be indie
pendent I honor him for his independence.
/ honor any man who will stand on his oon-
~viction, l don't care whether he agrees
with me or not. II we have sober judg-
ment and people'acting according TO reason,
and II q man IL right, he will win, and he
ought to win. The right will always win
after a discussion in this country. But II
the man thinks it' is necessary to stand on
an independent platform and clear himself
of both parties and condemn both parties,
then let him stay there. II he thinks II is
the right thing to denounce bosses-and
I agree that IL In the right thing--if he is
to Be a champion Of political liberty, then
why should he enter into an alliance with
a boss in order TO get a nomination.?
~Wby should n pose as a champion OF
political liberty and then be the beneficiary

their seats and men h have right to be
