From STAFF Correspondent Of The Tribune J
Rochester, Oct. 8.-William Sulzer and
Job e. Hedges, the Democratic and Re-
publican nominees for Governor, played"
the same town tonight, after being al
most near enough on several occasions for
each TO hear the cheers OF the other S
audience. The chairman Of the Demo-
cratic meeting at Assembly Hall here
apolog1zed to his listeners for having his
meeting tonight. saying that no otheg
arrangements could have been made with
cut disarranging Mr.. Suffers whole sched-
ule and that he meant no discourtesy TO
the Republicans by conflicting with them.
The Republicans secured the largest and
most convenient hall in the city, forcn 3
their opponents to hold their meeting in
Exposition Park, over a mile from the
centre of the town Assembly Hall. how
ever, proved sufficient for the Democratic
needs. a scant two thousand coming TO
Hi it's seats comfortably and leave plenty
OF vacant standing room around the
aislcs. A much larger audience heard
Mr. Hedges.
The greatest contrast in the reception
OF the two candidates however, was IN
tie procession which paraded the city.
The Republican procession, solid coll
umn of uniformed marching clubs almost
mile long, was characterized by the
members OF Mr.. Suffers party who
viewed It as the most imposing political
parade they had ever seen, while a mere
handful OF scattered Inarchers arrived at
the Assembly Hall TO honor the Demo-
cratic candidate.
Although he was talking in the same
town with him. the Democratic candidate
failed to mention his Republican OPP
intention Of ignoring him earlier in the
day, SAYING that Job hadn't been saying
anything about him lately, and that he
guessed he wouldn't say anything about
Job.
Tammany Good to Strauss
He took q shot at Oscar Straus. how
ever. for the first time since he left New
York, repeating his assertion, made al
the beginning of the campaign, that
Tammany had certainly been good TO the
Straus family. He continued:

Has Oscar Straus forgotten when ne

Minister TO Turkey on the recommended

gotten that Tammany elected one OF his
brothers to Congress and nominated an
other for Mayor OF New York;

and then Commissioner Of Public Health
Has he forgotten how Tammany re-

relatives TO our Supreme Court? Criti-

with very poor grace from Oscar Stratus.

Mr.. Sulzer met with shock this morn
ing at the first stop OF his special train
after leaving Syracuse when less than a
dozen citizens Of Jordan appeared at the
station to greet him. The weather offered
no excuse for their scarcity, warm day
having succeeded the dampness which
followed him for four days last week.
