HEARST SPEAKS
CROWDS FOLLOW HIM.
Candidate Visits East Side and
Brooklyn.

Hearst made his final whirlwind tour OF
the East Side last night and wound up with
a dash across the Bridge to the Clermont
Avenue Rink, in Brooklyn in the midst Of
the old McCarren territory At each of the
East Side meeting places his autor.obile
was the centre OF human whirlpool when
he emerged from the halls. and cheering
mobs chased him through the streets from
hall to hall.
Although Mr.. Hearst did not reach the
first stop. Apollo Hall. in Clinton street
until half-past eight. each of the three
East Side halls was filled 10 it's capacity
before o'clock. and the doors were closed
by the police. The thousands who could
not get in waited patiently in the streets.
however. and at one place. Terrace Ly-
ceum, in East Broadway. they filled a sec
ond hall. where Mr.. Hearst was compelled
TO speak. adding an extra meeting 10 his
itinerary
His speech was once more an attack on
Judge Gaynor and Tamnany. but he added
to this the promise of frequent consulta-
tions with the people. If he were elected
1t was business talk, he said, and. popu-
lar as it was on the East Side. 1t was
even more popular in Brooklyn. where more
than five thousand persons awaited him at
the Clermont Avenue Rink
IF 1 am elected we are going 10 have
many talks like this" Mr. Hearst said.
often I am going to secure some great
hall and ask you all to come. I am going
to tell you what l am doing and what am
trying to do. / am going to tell you what
obstacles and what individuals are stand
ing in my way. 1 am going to ask, then.
for your advice and for your criticism,
too"
Good boy Willie, That's the talk,'' the
people of Brooklyn shouted.
Brooklyn no less than Manhattan also ap-
plauded what he had TO say about Judge
Gaynor
For years Brooklyn has struggled 10
Keep the Tiger from crossing the bridge"
he said. 'It is astonishing. then, to see a
citizen of Brooklyn now trying to lead the
Tiger across the bridge. If Judge GaynOr
thinks he can tame the Tiger ne is mis-
taken. If Judge Gaynor thinks he can
lead the Tiger where he pleases with the
slender thread that he has tied around its
neck he is mistaken. The Tiger is follow
ing Judge Gaynor only because he is lead
ing it where it wants to go-where it has
long tried to go-across the bridge and into
the homes Of Brooklyn"
After he had spoken of the folly of Judge
Gaynor and the desire of the people OF
Brooklyn to keep Tammany out of their
borough. he continued:
DO not wait for the Tiger to come over
the bridge. but go over the bridge after the
Tiger. Unite with the good citizens of all
the boroughs and track the Tiger to its
lair. Destroy it there and nail its hide 10
the door,
Mr.. Hearst spoke of the conviction of
Tammany men for election frauds in previ-
Gus elections and the indictments against
Tammany men for frauds in the recent pri-
maries. This was only a beginning. he said.
The fight against Tammany's corrupt elec-
ton practices would be kept up. He said
that Judge Gaynor had defended the thieves
and the thefts up to the very day that the
Supreme Court forced him off stolen bal
lot and warned him.
Il want TO tell Judge Gaynor now that
notwithstanding his defence every one of
his ballot thieving friends is going up the
river in one grand Hudson-Fulton parade.
Warrants Of arrest are now out, too. for
the men who forged the names of officers
OF the Independence League to official doc
uments in behalf of Judge Gaynor. have
offered a reward for the location Of these
hiding forgers. and 1 assure Judge Gaynor
that some more of his friends are going TO
join the river parade
I'VE are going to get higher up this time
than we ever did before, and the river
parade is going to be so fine that Judge
Gaynor himself will probably turn out to
wave his friends goodby."
