Mr.. Hedges's treatment OF politlcal issues
and the misconceptions Of his opponents
was spirited and drew forth repeater

While Vice President Fairbanks whose
reception was an enthusiastic one, was
addressing the meeting on the eligibility
of Mr.. Hedges for the Office of Governor
that gentleman was making his second
long lump, from Brooklyn to Niblo's Gar

Bronx. where less than three-quarters OF
an hour after he had finished his first
and appreciative assemblage.

state" Mr.. Hedges declared, amid laugh
ter from the audience, without hndins
It necessary to call any man lar' and
] intend to close the campaign in the same
fashion. The result Of my travels has
. been to find that the state is strong IN
N its support for the principles Of the Re-
VI publican party, and it now only remains
for this city to continue the support"
Mr.. sulzer and his allegiance to Tam
many Hall drew forth a Parthian shot
from the speaker at this meeting. He
said:
II has been said that Mr.. sulzer, my
distinguished opponent, was nominated ty
MIR Murphy. / don't care whether ne
was or whether he was nominated IN
spite Of him / simply know that no man
can be part OF the Ia m aId 90 oiS from
there to the Governors chair and raise
its dignity by one inch
More filings at the opposition grew out
of the next meeting, at Majestic Hall,
125th street, near Lexington avenue
where Jesse ]. Goldberg, chairman Of the
meeting, characterized the Republican
candidate for Governor as a humorist.
MY friend Governor Dix said some
weeks ago. Mr.. Hedges said in reply,
that my nomination for the Office In
iected a bit of humor into the campaign.
would rather have a sense Of humor
and be nominated than to be turned down
and be a tragedian."
Other stops were made by the Hedges
party at Empire Hall. ll6th street, near
Eighth avenue, and the Lenox Casino
11sth street and Lenox avenue, where in
each case the candidate gave sledgeham-
yner blows at what he declared was
"Tammany Halls proposition that the
state government is something 20 give
work 20 those who have no other means
of livelihood"
At Carnegie Hall the final stop OF the
evening was made. where good roads
