Other Trust" Cases.

w. X Hearst started in to ignite the
East Side last night not with the blazing
loren OF Liberty. but with that other blaz-
ing torch Of the Gas Trust. He tried II

pectations. used IL on the lower East Side
| for all II was worth The original Dlan
was to go to the lower East Side first. bur
tne change was made for experimental pur-
poses
IL was a continuation of the campaign
started on Monday night to make himself
the issue But there was the differences
iasl hlght that he had learned that his pop
uIarity was not increased by attacking Mr..
bannard. and last night he confined his
references TO Mr.. GaynOr. about whom he
SAID several unpleasant things In the
ShaooW OF Tammany Hall, at the Teutonia
Assembly Rooms. in East 10Th street. his
remarks about Mr.. Gaynor were noticeably
popular
when he said that the Tammanv csndi-
uale hao shown himself less than an ordi-
nary man. that he was I'll natured, iii in
formed. addicted TO vituperation and some
vulgarity.'' his audience agreed with him
heartily. And the spectator could hardly be-
heVe that Tammany Hall lowered over the
! scene When the roar of applause broke
iOrth AT the speakers assertion that Judge
Gaynor had stepped down from his high
| place TO vie in violence with the ward heel
ers of Tammany Hail. and asked, lis the
real Judge Gaynor now being revealed"
DE FORD PREPARES CROWD.
But the intent of the meetings was soon
apparent Before Mr.. Hearst arrived at the
horkVille Casino William A De Ford was
| put on the platform to prepare the crowd.
Evidently he had his cue as to Hearsts
speech for he freely sprinkled his talk with
references TO the Gas Trust, and never
neglected. TO say that II was Mr.. Hearst
| who had fought the battle of the people,
| Mr.. De Ford referred to Judge Gaynor as
the 'old lady Of st. James and said that
ne was teaching ROesch. Hagan, Sullivan
and Haag that stirring political battle
hymn. Onward. Christian Soldier, March
ing on the City Treasury
Mr.. Ford did his work we'll There were
rousing cheers every time Hearst's name
was mentioned, and when the candidate
entered the hall he was cheered for five
minutes on end. 1t was not at all disagree
| able to Mr.. Hearst. He smiled and rubbed
his hands and went at his work with the
feeling that he was working himself into
the position of the popular idol. BY the
time he had reached the meetings at the
| Progress Assembly Rooms and Jefferson
Hall. on the lower East Side, he was at his
ease and among his friends and he strolled
famliarly around the platform as he
| spoke.
MYSELF AND THE TRUSTS"
At the Teutonic Assembly Rooms the sec
ond stop on the tour, he found William
Hepburn Russell on the platform There
| Mr. Hearst ha tried ont the C,oe Tr,tst
on the first crowd started right off with
1t and got applause with his first word.
| Then he returned 10 the set form of his
| speech. and commented on Judge GaynOr
In terms OF cOntumey, contrasting the
! Judge Gaynor of the bench with the Mr..
Gaynor of the Tammany ticket But he
| was soon in the thick Of his own doings
with the Sugar Trust the Ice Trust and
the Gas Trust. 1t was lot of dry statis-
| tics but II brought Hearst in three times
in every sentence, and he was not op-
pressed with a sense OF modesty in telling
of his own deeds.
The closing Of the speech was brief As
on Monday. he made no reference to the
| other candidates. but sought only his own
| election. He declared himself of the
| Heaven born, and asked 20 be elected be-
cause OF the unselhshness of his pur-
poses
Il have done these things not with the
| idea of being rewarded by any Office" he
said. but because I like to do them and
| / want 10 do them. man can carry
nothing from this world except good
| record and the good opinion of his fellow
men. In this campaign YOU should not
vote for any friend or favorite, but for
a man who will. in your opinion. do the
most for your best and honest interests,
and the most for the best and the honest
| interests of all your fellow citizens
SOME WORDS ON GAYNOR.
Mr.. Hearst said:
My friends, there seems TO be enough
siasm in this hall to carry the election,
| and elect the whole ticket; and\I don't
| see any need of going any further.
| When / first read some of Judge Gay
nor's rather ridiculous statements / felt
angry and disposed to reply bitterly, but
| I have become sincerely sorry for that
old gentleman who has stepped down
! from his high place as a Supreme Court
TO nIG IA s o %il e,,i "c
cations so corrupt good manners and good
morals. or was the Judge Gaynor whom
the imagination in connection with his
high Office, and is the real Judge Gaynor
Mr. Gaynor has stepped down from that
high place upon the same plane as the av-
eTags cit citizen; I1;dga ana. judged by a ordinary
thing less than the ordinary man-rather
| i'll natured he is, ana i'll informed, ad-
dicted to vituperation and some vulgarity
Particularly is he without veracity and
without sincerity.
/ quote ''The Evening Mall" which says:
Judge Gaynor said, i would rather golf
with the devil than with Croker But
Mr.. Gaynor solicits and secures nomina-
ton from Boss Murphy, of Tammany
Hall. Judge Gaynor often denounced hypo-
critics and pretenders, but Mr.. Gaynor
says: What is campaign manager?
Where is the Tenderloin? Where is Tam
many Hall? Judge Gaynor made his first
reputation as a prosecutor of election
thieves, but Judge Gaynor accepts nom
| election thieves and composed mainly of
election thieves.
Judge Gaynor knew of Roesch because
every paper in New York City printed the
startling testimony again Roesch in the
I.exow investigation. and Mr.. Gaynor
knows of Roesch because every paper in
New York City has reprinted that testi-
mony since Judge Gaynor's nomination. /
say il is Mr.. Gaynors duty as a citizen
and a candidate 10 denOunce the infamous
Roesch. ! say II was his duty citizen
and a candidate, II that were not possible,
70 advocate the election of another man.
and TO go into another party to find that
other man.
Judge GaynOr says that he does not want
10 be a boss; every man ought to want to
be his own boss And every man should
prefer 20 be his own boss rather than TO
be the servile tool of the boss Of Tammany
Hall
