elpieS and have been accustomed 10 vote
the republican ticket there is no doubt
that We can elect our candidates. Last

OF our party. Any ticket which might have

feat.
1t was an off year. and some people
thouSna Republican defeat was good for
tls healh OF the party. But about that
time there arrived in this country one OF

Despite the fact that every one OF the
nine halls where the colonel spoke big
crowds were gathered outside, the police
arrangements were admirable and there
was no repetition of the scenes of disorder
that were attendant upon his visit to the
East Side a week ago last night. When
ever the machine slowed UP, at crossings
and where traffic was congested. Colonel
was recognized and cheered to

When he finished his last meeting at Bo-

Second avenue. he voted the night one OF
the most strenuous that he had ever ex-
perienced in any campaign. ~. ~ 4
