was the last word he had 10 tell the big
crowd that had gathered at Cooper
Union 90 hear the fusion forces tell their
side Of the campaign story this year and
ft was received with storm Of cheers.
He iz alyays a popular man, and the
audience last night seemed by the recep-
ton accorded 20 him when he came I'm 70
have come there almost solely to hear
what he had 20 say.
And that is not 20 say that the other

Ter that does not concern me. but 7
cannot disregard the passing interest
which one would take in that subject
end 10 is not So very many years ago
that these same gentlemen welcomed
Mr Hearst 20 their ranks and made him
their candidate for Governor
May Have to Accept Hearst.
And again. n passing. may remark
that ST MAY not be very long before they
accept him again because they have to-?
And when that time comes they will
take him Just as easily. and they will
atu'aud him just as Justify. and they will
praise him Just as heartily as they now
cer.urce him
Therefore. 1 interpret their remarks

say 'hat 7 believe IN Mr. Hearst We do
rot acree upon national politics. but his
course as q citizen in fighting for the
rights of the people. and especially for
'he fight he has made in this city for
clean municipal government. should not
be overlooked by the people Of greater
