Somebody tried 20 raise a cry for Gay

OF sPut out that repeater!" came from
al over the hall.
aIr WINS referred 70 the pose OF Judge
Gaynor in trying TO make people believe
he didn't know where Carnegie Hall and
Tammany Hall were. III you can't trust
him in such small things" said the
speaker. ''how can you trust him with
the big things OF the Mayors ofiee?"
He denounced Mr.. Gaynor for bring
ing into the campaign the losses caused
by the Metropolitan receivership. as the
property is TO be wound UP by the courts
and not by the Mayor. Referring 20
some Of the Tammany candidates state
nnents regarding subways and the debt
limit, Blr. WINS said he could not imag-
Inc a man approaching financial prob
lens with more complete or more mas
aerful ignorance.
ar. Twins praised Mr.. Barnard as a
capable banker of exceIiest judgment,
OF as sound a heart as any man in the
city, and one who III elected would come
as near killing himself in an effort to do
his whole duty as could be imagined But
ne did not think Mr. Barnard could be
elected. So he asked the one hundred
thousand Republicans who voted for Nc
Clellhn four years ago so as to keep
Hearst from winning TO vote for Hearst

HEDGES HAS AN INNING.
After an hour and q quarter Mr.. WINS
introduced Mr.. Hedges who lost no time
in paying his respects TO Judge Gaynor.
He referred humorously 10 the frequent
references Of the Democratic candidate
10 his thirty years in Brooklyn, and that
hts 'neighbors" could vouch for him.
Timothy L. woodruff chairman Of the
Republican State Committee, who for
years was one OF the @neighbors," sat
sust at the edge Of the flies. and Mr..
Hedges took particular delight in turn
ing toward him as he spoke Of Judge
Gaynor and my neighbors" The Tam
many candidate was inbred mentally,
declared Mr.. Hedges.
When William A. Prendergast, candi-
date for Controller, came on the stage
Mr.. WINS started to clap his hands. Mr..
Hedges turned toward the new arrival
and in mock seriousness said: "You
haven't paid for this hall. You are only
a candidate"
The mention OF Mr.. Hearst's name
started the followers Of the Civic Al
lance candidate cheering for nearly two
minutes. This was Immediately followed
by an outburst of applause for Mr. Ban
nard, which lasted about as long, If it
were not quite so Voeiferous.
You fellows seem TO think you paid
for this hail." shouted Mr.. Hedges after
the interruption had lasted for some
time.
Three cheers for the fellows who paid
for the halll" shouted a robust voice.
and again the rafters shook.
II am for Mr.. Barnard for Mayor"
said MT. Hedges, mot because ne is the
nominee Of my party, not because his
nomination is the result Of the delibera-
ton OF the fusion conference. but be-
cause I happen TO know he has heart
that beats. am for him because he has
had the kind Of experience that will en-
able him 10 select men for the i'm
portant places in his administration. I
am for him because when he gives his
word you do not have to have the
promise underwritten'
Mr.. Hedges then introduced in turn
Mr.. Prendergast and John Purroy
Mitchell who were enthusiastically re-
