OF Unems 20 the VAST uBJflm4ut 4Ahu uuANhMBo
Of the people Of this city and the good name
OF this State and country.
Il might recall your attention to some
instances. In 1871, thirty five years ago,
this city was in the hands Of n gang Of
~plunderers who were directly supported by
people rose in their might and thrust them
out. That was one OF the times when the
boss ran away with the banner.
And then there was another time, not so
many years ago as you have heard, in the
case Of Judge Maynard, when they at
tempted to foist upon the people Of the
whole State a Judge who had betrayed
his trust and engaged in the theft Of aSena-
torial district. Then not many years ago
the boss ran away with the banner again
and tried to turn down an honest Judge be-
cause he had refused to do his bidding. And
in both these instances the people again
rose in their might and for the time being
hey crushed the boss and the whole frame
work Of the structure with which or from
which he had run the party fell with him for
the time being.
NOT A POLITICAL TICKET.
THE ticket has been before the people
already for more thar three months. in
viting criticism. inviting attack. And
nobody has attacked ito speak Of.
l~IAughter.l Nobody has. put his finger
upon any real fault in anyone Of the eight
nominees. Well. now. IL they had been
AVSsA IN ~ = y ~
Of ours, in ability. in character, IN industry
and in judicial fitness, you would have
heard Of it from the politicians. Well.
they haven't made much in the way Of
that they object 70 th4se gentlemen be-
cause they haven't the qualities that COM
mend them to politicians. Well. that Is
the highest praise you could possibly Civ
them.
Now, I read the American every morning
and NhA Iaagrn1I Wtnhf fAR cha n1aH
pose Of seeing how polite, low moderate
and how generous an independent press
can be. And &C far as l can make out all
that il left for them to do in the way OF
attack upon our ticket is to abuse and viii
lily, in my humble person, the chairman
Of that committee. Laughter. And there
isn't anything quite bad enough that they
can say about me. Laughter l didn't
know what character l was until i read
those papers. I~LAughterl They have

can. Great laughter and %applause.l The
abuse from that quarter i consider the
highest compliment IA l can possibly re-
ceive. IGreat applause.l And hope they
will continue to make me their target. for
the want Of a better, until Election Day.
So fire away, gentlemen. Laughter.
shan't run away and am ready to receive
in the defence OF this committee and our
candidates all the shafts that they can
fling"
THE q TICKET.'
Mr.. Choate then turned his attention
to the Hesrst-Murphy judiciary ticket,
saying,
Somehow or other it has come about by
the relation or lack of relation between
those two distinguished men. for nobody
else had anything To do with it.
Charles Darwin has described a creature
that furnishes 10 nv mind a word that
will describe this ticket. His definition
of the creature is a cross breeding between
different individuals Of the same srecies
and he calls it a mongrel. So II l call this
ticket a mongrel ticket am sure j have
high authority to which | refer, and sparing
the feelings Of these two distinguished
gentlemen az | have done. | would neither
offend them nor offer any intentional dis
respect to the dumb creatures to whom the
name is more frequently applied. So
we will call it from tonight during the rest
Of the campaign, If you please. the mongrel
ticket. and the name suggests inquiry
whether it has not some Characteristic
Of the creature referred to.
"You know the faithful friend OF man
kind among whom he mongTels do so
largely figure cannot have permission TO
exist in this island OF Manhattan unless
they have a license signed by one OF two
public officials, and this mongrel ticket
has a license signed by two great unofficial
~rsonage and they cannot get a license
without paving for il, and sometimes they
pay more than the mongrel is worth.
Now, | would like to ask one OF the other
Of these two distinguished gentlemen how
much some OF the men upon their mongrel
ticket have paid for the honor OF getting
there. Applause and Kisses. Our candl-
dates nave not been allowed 10 pay a penny,
not one. Applause
and paving for IL. these dumb friends OF
mankind cannot go around our streets and
appear before the people without collars
on their necks, duly fitted and p~adlocked.
ILaughter.l
well now, knowing how these Feople
on the mOngrel ticket, with the exceptions
mentioned by Judge Parker, have been
brought into existence, you will inquire IN
your own mind whether, Hthey succeed in
getting into the Supreme Court. can they
get there without hearing the collar and
the name Of the owner upon their necks.
And then another thing about these
dumb friends OF ours. hen the owner
prescribes a muzzle they have 10 put 1t on.
Laughter and a%pplausel. And suppose
that after these subservient politicians. who
are put on that ticket as a reward for their
Dolitical services or a hope OF the services
they will render in the future, are elected
suppose the owner says, Why, in some
political or public question that comes up,
here is the muzzle, we want you to put it
on do you think they will all, to a man,
refuse to wear the muZZleE m think
SO at all. think thai when Murphy whis-
ties those that bear his name upon their
neck will answer TO the call. And I think
that when Hearst rings his bell those who
wear his name upon their collars will in
some way respond
PLAIN TALK FROM
William H. Rand, Jr., was introduced
o fter Mr.. Choate as the last speaker. Judge
Parker referred to him as "one of the leaders
of the Junior bar" and the crowd welcomed
him uproariously.
Mr.. Rand's references to Hearst as "the
Incorporated candidate his announcement
OF the City Magistrates by name for their
PARTISAN actions at the Buffalo convention
and his scathing rebuke OF Judge Soabury
were features Of his speech. The big crowd
listened intently and cheered uproariOusly.
His one reference to Mr.. Hughes was greeted
with scattering cheers. Mr.. Rand said in
part:
THE Incorporated candidate Of the indie
pendence League. delving in somefar recess
Of that wind swept and echoing cavern
which his followers are pleased to call his
mind. and speaking by the pen Of Brisbane.
his prophet, said at Schenectady four days
ago: when parties divide. then is tho time
for patriots to unite And in that senti-
ment we cordially concur. And We say to
YOU that whenthe question: il one Of whether
or not we are TO have free or slave Judges,
