Madison Square Crorcd Hears
Modest Recital bu Candidate.

of business Many of his hearers seemed to be-
| lieve him.
! He demonstrated to his own satisfaction that
every bit of benehcent legislation in recent years
| had been inspired by himself. He had suggested
nfallible remedies for evil In sight. but some
OF them had been blocked by evi-minded Repubn-
cans. He did fancy tricks with every argument
put forth by his opponents, and wound UP his mod
est effort by citing fortune he had spent on his
good works as proof of his sincerity.
| The Garden was filed by crowd that strug-
gled from 8 to o'clock to have q look at MT
Hearst. It was a noisy. turbulent crowd. ten thou
sand persons In all, every determined to have
a good time. BY o'clock all available space was
filled. The eager cheered themselves they
cheered tho band and everything else that at
tracted their attention
When Mr.. Hearst arrived, at 6:S, they cheefeo
him in 1ust about the same spirit When he
reached the Madison Square entrance platoon OF
police escorted him down the central aisle 10 the
middle of the hall, the band playing 'ThereH Be
a Hot Time" With difficulty the police cleared
way for the candidate to the platform which was
in the middle of the 9th street side OF the hall
Stimulated by the band still playing "There'l Be
Hot Time" and the oldtime war songs. the
cheering for Hearst lasted for eighteen minutes
Mr. Hearst stood and smiled oomplacently at the
uproar which led by a leather lunged squad
Just beyond the press table below the speakers
stand.
What do you think of that. you subsi-
dized pressr" demanded of the Hearst lieuten-
ants behind the candidate.
What about the subsidized rooters?" demanded
one OF the audience pointing at the leather lunsed
band.
Finally THE Star spangled Banner sllenced the
mob for a moment Then the leather lunged ones
began earning their nights pay again, but they
were howlsd down by the rest of the audience
Then Mr.. Hearst spoke. interrupted by his ad-
herents in the gallery. He spoke about twenty
minutes only, but IN that time cast every opponent
into outer political darkness. declared that he
would march down TO 'he Harlem with 10000
majority, which the audience at once raised to
200 900, and explained how his newspaper corpora
tions not trusts, because they had lowered
the price of the papers to one cent. The logic OF
the explanation appealed to the audience. which
cheerod wildly the speakers lucidity. The leather
luuged band again too persistent. and only
subsidized when the gallery cried Get the hook!'
and Put them out'
Mr.. Hearst's speech was, in part, as follows:
the state, in so-caiied Republican counties want
the upstate counties. and come down to the HaF-
lem River with majority, and that is not an Idle
