NEW YORK, October 21.-I.et's take an
-ening off and go around with the cam
d dates and hear what they have to say of
each other. We don't have to stand for
It, not even believe 1t; if not iluminat-
ing il will at least ne interesting so to
the East Side to hear Hearst, over TO
BROOKLYN To listen to Judge Gaynor. and
back to Carnegie Hall for Barnard. The
subway will enable us to make the trip,
and hear little of each speech Mr..
Hearst made four speeches on the East
Side last night Mr.. Hearst is not ex-
pected TO get the vote he received in his
race for mayor five years ago by a long
shot, but that he still retains the affec-
ton OF large section of his old con-
stituency seemed TO be indicated by his
reception. The first speech was made in
Yorkviile Casino where 1.S0O men packed
themselves and cheered and applauded
tie Young leader. They che1.cd Mr..
Hearst seven minutes, and then he lit
into Judge Gaynor.
Hearst Attacks Gaynor.
''vrhen l first read some of Judge Cay
nor's statements I was inclined to be
angry and TO reply with bitterness said
Mr.. Hearst
But I have become sincerely sorry for
this old gentleman, who has stepped
down from his high position judge
OF the supreme court to vie In violence
with the ward heelers of Tammany Hall.
Judge Gaynor often attacked Tam
many Hall and announced himself as a
candidate to reform Tammany, but Mis-
ter Gaynor excuses Tammany, defends
the atrocious Tammany ticket.
Gaynor Returns the Compliment.
Three thousand people turned out to
greet Judge Gaynor at the Academy of
Music in Brooklyn. You are supposed to
lie |aCing different order of man from
these wicked New Workers as you look
Gown over this audience from the stage.
These are folk of a higher order. home
Saying men. familiar with baby car
Iiages and unfamiliar with Churchlil
or Jacks. They look upon Tammany Hall
IS a den of iniauity and the tiger as hav-
iES horns and hOOfS.
Judge Gaynor is received with appreci-
ative hut well bred enthusiasm. 1t IS
conventional rather than uproarious, but
don't forget that each of these men is go
ing to the polls on election day and mark
his ballet intelligently. Judge Gaynor
goes afte~ Mr.. Hearst without undue de-
lay Here is Mr.. Hearst believing until
the last day of the canvass that we are
the TammGny ticket. Oh. dear me, how
long since he was on the Tammany
ticket? How dainty and how nice and
man about the Tammany ticket just at
present.
when he came on here from Califor-
mia for reasons we'll known to great
many people about the first thing he ap-
pros ched Mr.. Croker, the leader of TAM
many Hall, to be sent to Congress. and
lie was sent to Congress, and he was
sent again.
THE surroundings and the habiliments
and methods of the dema gogue are with
him wherever he goes, ano during the two
years that he served under Mr.. Croker In
Congress / think the roll call shows that
he was there five times-the other times
he was peeking out from behind the door

New York. negiecting his duties and
building up the rag-baS newspapers we
would do we'll for our own intellectual
growth ard integrity to entirely eschew.
Not content with his own newspaper
during this canvass. he has hired col
umns iii another paper. and advertises
himself though he were u patent medi-
cine or nostrum."
Barnard Arraigns Tammany.
Carnegie Hall is we'll filled. though not
packed. when We get there. Mr.. Barnard
has not arrived and Seth Low and Job
Hedges entertaining the audience.
Some of these men are not to be depend
ed to go TO the polls If election day
turns out stormy or they are tied up in
a law case a business deal. Their
hearts all right: they mean well and
nod approval to all attacks on Tam
many.
When Mr. Barnard comes in he gives
them time to afford him a demonstra-
ton of welcome and then talks In this
vein:
THE issue in this campaign is Tam
many Hall. and for thirty-five years l
lave known where it is located. Tam
many is organized society for the
promotion of graft. 1t lives by the peo-
pie. on the people and for themselves
November . 1t has no business man
agement. neither has the city OF New
York. but 1t gets rich and New York
gets poor
What would YOU think of a railroad
tha: built the middle sections and then
didn't build the ends-forget all about it?
What would you think of a railroad that
had seventy-eight purchasing agents. each
paying different prices? Or fifty EIGHT
kinds of soap at ifty-eight different
prices? But still Tammany is not clean.
Bernard Charges Waste.
This city is suffering, not only from
plunder. but from waste. from lack of
business head and business plan and
a business design. When they lay out an
Improvement their only object Is TO spend
the money. and they never follow il up TO
get what is utilized. that any income
comes from Il, or that any service to the
people arises out of it. They buy land
they are crazy to buy land-but they do
not use il. There is more profit in buying
lan1 than in building the schoolhouse 1t
is quicker. They build docks on the East
river and then shortly before they are
ready TO lease they forget about them
and they are idle and they earn nothing

II lie can tell the name of the man

issue, the control of the board which
handles budget OF SlSJ.000.0OO a year
