The climax of the republican campaign
for the presidency and for the New YORK
state ticket was reached last night, when
an immense throng that packed Madison
Square Garden in New York city to the
roof cheered Candidate Taft for nearly
twenty minutes and did almost as we'll for
Gov. Hughes. An account of the meet
ing will be found elsewhere in The Star.
BRYAN VERY SANGUINE-
"Of course l expect to carry New York. =
asserted William ]. Bryan yesterday
afternoon after he had made nine speech
es between New York city and the cap
ital along the east bank of the Hudson. in
drzzling rain. HeNadded with apparent
confidence: And / expect to carry the
entire middle west. as well as some of
the other eastern states besides New
York. We shall have enough and more
Nebraska is sure, and So l think, is
Ohio"
The feature of William Jennings Bryan's
tour upstate was the appearance on the
platform at Albany last night of former
United States Senator David b. Hill. II
was the first time in several years that
Mr.. Hill had attended such a gathering
| SO that when he stepped forward as chair
man to introduce democracy's leader, the
great crowd which packed the hall where
the meeting was held rose as to man
and wildly cheered.
CHAMBER TOURS BRONX
Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler made a tour
of the Bronx last night, the last appear
ance he will make in this vicinity until
after election day. Wherever he went
and he spoke at five meetings, he was
greeted by thousands of cheering, shout
ing voters, who burned as much enthusi-
asm as they did red fire. The lieutenant
governor did not cOnfine himself to state
issues as much last night as he has or
dinarily done, as he devoted considerable
of his time to praise of Mr.. Bryan and an
advocacy OF national issues. AT each
meeting. also, he took occasion to praise
the local candidates, asking for votes for
them also
A LONELY PARADE
Past an almost empty reviewing stand
and through streets from which rain had
driven most of the spectators, $500 repub-
licans marched last night in the first big
political parade of the campaign in New
York city.
At no place was the parade witnessed by
either Mr. Taft or Mr.. Hughes, who were
busy speaking elsewhere. 1t had been
hoped by the managers of the outdoor
demonstration that the presidential and
gubernatorial nominees could see the
parade. oven If they did not have the time
from speaking to remain in the reviewing
stand at Madison Square during the en-
tire time.
The democrats had overlooked no oppor-
tunity to make the best of the discomti-
tGre of the republicans. A long range
stereopticon had been rugged on top of the
Hoffman House. and with 1t sentences not
at all complimentary to the republicans
were thrown ON the nearby buildings and
UP and down the Metropolitan tower. Al
most directly in front of the reviewing
stand an enormous Bryan and Kern BAN
ner was hung and the stereopticon ma
