"Now, what means this vast assemblage?
What I thl that has called you from your

Is the eomlctlon that the people of tho oily of
Sew York are no longer wllllngto submit to the
brutal nnd vulgar tyranny of Illchard Oroker.
Ilircat npplatiec.l That at last he has gone too
far further than this pooplo will mibmit to,
whon he has laid his foulhaud upon the shrine,
of our liberties in the temple of justice, and
has sought, so far as in ill power lies, to cor
rupt tho fountain of justice nt Us source.
onoKr.n's wmttkx iNTinvtEwa.
"Now, I hae read with delight, as I have no
doubt you all have read, those written Inter
views which he has reoently given out to tho
press, (Laughter.) Mind you, I donotchargo
or credit him with writing them hlm
anlf. (Luughter.l He ran write, , ILaughter.)
Ho can write with dlffloultr. But the language,
the grammar, the Idiom of those composition
are not in his peculiar style, daughter, Hut
the thoughts, the stntlment, the venom could
have proceeded from no other possible
source. Now, from thoso striking produo
tlons one thing Is very certain, that
In the panic that has seized him he
ha for onco lost his head, (Applause.) He
never spoak unless he scents dangor in tho
air. (Applause.! It I a familiar earing that
'whom tho gods wish to destroy they first
make mad.' I.auehter.1 Now, irom these
wild uttoranoes of Mr. Croker I think you can
not only form the opinion that he Is Insane,
but you enn diagnose the particular form ot
insanity which has seized him.
THE BOSH HAS rOLITICAI, PAIIESIR.
"n seems to me to have all the symptoms in
a marked degree ot political paresis. If you
know anything about that fatal disorder. you
know how paresis always begins. It begin
uniformly with a swelled head; (laughter), the
hoad Is altogether too big for tho man. Ho
Is overcome with an overwhelming sense of his
own grandeur, greatness ana power. He for-
Rets the ordinary relation of things. He be
eves that the world Is all his own, and that
all things In heavan and earth must do him
homage. He Is full of wild delualons. and full
of the most startling failures of memory.
Now let us consider Bomo of these delusions
and these failures ot memory, for they are very
Instructive about thoss times. He boasu that
he Is king In Tammany Hall, not only to-day.
but as long as he shall live. Not so. Hloliard.
(Laughter.! Not quite so. We admit that
for the moment you are cock of the
walk upon that dunghill. But not for all time;
not for life. There never was n cock of the
walk for life. It Is only until a newnnd younger
cock appear, with longer spurs and harder
beak and redder gill that shall mount him and
cut hi comb and pluck out his tall feathers and
remit mm to tne oacK oenonet. ii.nurnier.i
"The leadership of Tammany Hall does not
come by accident. It comes by force, by sheer
brute force. It was by the fist and tho shll
lelah that he attained his leadership there; and
it Is by the fist anil the shlllelah thnt he will
disappear when a strongor and more courage
ous and a more nervy champion appears.
ANOTHER OP HIS DELUSIONS.
"Tliatlsoneof his delusions. Now what is
tho next? lie claims that he owns the whole
city of New York. That Is one of his arguments
on this great judicial question. Well. I believe It
Is pretty nearly true. C rtalnly.be owns Its Chief
Magistrate (applauaej certainly. Ha owns
every subordinate officer from top to bottom.
I challenge you to go Into any executive or ad
ministrative office in this city and find one man
that will defy his Will. Ho will disappear to
morrow if you And him.
"Ho forgets, however, that that is tho very
reason why his hands should be held off from
the judicial power. If there is one principle
that lies at tho foundation o( our American form
of government it is that there shall be a com-
filete separation between the executive and
esislatlve and the judicial powers, and
that each of the three shall be absolutely In
dependent ot the other two: and if one man is
to make our laws, our ordinances, the same
man to execute them and the same man to ap
point the Judges to pas between right and
wrong, between suitor and suitor, between tho
people and tho person oharged with crime, why
all vestige ot republicanism Is forevor gone.
Applause.
WHAT HE rOBQSTS.
" Ho forgets, also, I think, how it happened
that he came to be the owner of New
ork. Ho has forgotten that It was
because ot a foolish division ot the
friends ot law and order, which might
have been prevented, and ho doe' not take no
tloe that every day and every hour lie Is doing
his best to bring those forces together and to
bind them onco more together with links ot
steel. (Applause.)
"Well. then, he has another delusion. lie says
that, having himself oome out unscathed from
our courts oti justice, the keys of all courts,
of all judgments, of alt orisons most hn
carried In his pocket. That is what he
Is aiming at apparently and he goes fnr
thor. He suys now, I don'tbolleve everything
that he says-he says that Tammany Hall haa
created and expecu proper consideration from
all tho Judges upon the .beach but two. For
heaven's sake reelect thoso two before I go any
further with the argument.
" Well. now. there never was a grosaer libel
uttered ny any man than this upon the great
numberof the judicial officers who preside in
our court to-day. He forgeU'that the" ohlef
among them, those of longest service, have
already been reelected by overwhelming
majorities. In some oases by tho unanimous
oto of all their fellow citizens because of their
good behavior. (Applause.) There may be
some deference to him In tho minds of a
small minority of our Judges. It could
hardly oe otherwise so long as judloial
patronage continues to bo. the curse of our
judicial system: but I want to know how It
will be If alter next Tuesday it goesout to tho
world and goes down to thoso Judges at the
City Hall that, the people of New York are with
Mr. Croker on this great question.
"Let them aesert by a great majority ot
the people of this city that those who
are honest, who are independent, who are no
respecters of persona, who will refuse
to obey his will and grant his re
quest In the ptrformanco of their judicial
duty, shall be turned down and punished and
their places bo taken by those who he has
reason to believe will give him propercnnslder
atlon. Judue then what the condition ot af
fairs at our City Hall will be.
"Now, Mr. CroHer is ontlrely mistaken In
that, The great majority of those Judges
would turn the same deaf ear to his command
as Judge Daly did. (Applause. If you would
strengthen their arms, their virtue and their
courage, cast yonr votes on Tuesday so that
Mr. Croker shall come out condemned on this
great question.
"There 'are many allusions of his. Did you
read Ills attack upon Uarper't WttMv, one ot
the basest and most vlllalnoua attack thnt
over emanated from tho brain of man? He
took occasion to recall that some insignificant
parson, a scion of that great and noblo
house, had been found in bad company at an
unseemly dinner, but he forgot the banquet of
corruption and plunder to which he daily in
vites his followers throughout the year, and
which he hlmelf dally provides, and next
Tuesday night he proposed. If he can. to serve
up upon that table the cold remains of the
body of Justice herself ror them to gloat their
talons upon.
"Ah I but ladies and gentlsmen. there Is n
more verlous word to bo said about that. I call
upon you to notlco thu low and base motive
and spirit whloh actuated that attack, and
how it was really a blow below tho belt,
which even hi education In the prize
ring ought to have taught him to avoid. It
had no connection with tho subject of which he
treated. He sought to reach the hoad of that
paper, to strike at the heart of the father by
recalling the peccadillos of the son. That
I tho same spirit that has actuated this
Tammany Government in the treatment
of our reputable citizens In all the past.
And 1f which I do not bollcve If Cro
ker and his associates are by and by to
hiivo control of our courts, beginning on Tues
day next, you may judge what measure of In
justice win do moieu out, ana now tne old sys
tem that prevailed In our former police court
arrangement worked when they were used for
tho punishment and defamation ot the Inno
cent and the screening of tho guilty who had a
pull upon a leadoror the boas.
HTII.I, ANOTI.m DEI.USION.
"Then he attacks the Ilur Association. Thnt
Is another ot his delusions that wa are a very
bad setotroen, engaged apporentlyln llllingthe
pockets of rich men nt the expense of th poor;
defenders ot monoplletland trusts nnd 1 beliovo

more than once. Well, 1 have known of other

UNAWAKK OP IIS OWN PERU..
"And now what other delusions are throng
ing in Ids brain 1 Why. he marches along with
erect and lofty .head. Imagining that all
the mon who have ever .followed him
are still marching behind. Laughtor.l Ho
Is so much absorbed in aelf-contamplatlon. as
these jiartctlii always are, that he has not ob
served what battalions, what great division
have already deployed over to the opposing
forces. Applause, He hugs the delusion
that tho poor men and the laboring men will

Mark Twain himselr. with nil his capital pow

guilty until ho could prove hlmsolf inno

self Innocent, or to prove anything at all.
There was no right of cross-examination.
There wa no law of evidence. Witnesses ha
rangued the Court. Offioers harangued tho

plausej Mr. Choate concluded his speech with an
appeal to the people to go home and
think over tho whola situation, to study
for themselves the far-reaching effect that
a vote for Richard Croker'a candidate
might have. If they would do that, he said,
there was no doubt in his mind ot the out

until he had left the building. Mr. Choate'a

Ha Addresses an Audience of 1,800 People,
Who I.oudl j Cheered the Name of Uryan.
FouoiiKKEPSiE. Nov. 3. This city was not
set on fire to-night by the preeenco of Augus
tus Van Wrck. the Demoeratlo candidate for
Governor. There was a Democratic mass
meeting at the Opera House, and Mr. Van
Wyck and party arrived on the 8 o'clock train.
He was hustled off to the Opera House behind
a brasu band. The party, as they walked on
the Jstage.Jwere headed by thoormer! Chair
man of Itlie Democratic, State Committee,
James W, Hlnkley; Edward Storrs Atwater,
candidate for Comptroller: Thomas E. Bene
dict, candidate for member of Congress; Rich
ard E. Connell, candidate for Assembly, and
Stephen Guornsey, Demoeratlo candidate or
Mayor of this city, Whon tho party entered
the band played "Hall to tha Chief." and there
was faint applause from the upper gallery.
The meoting was called to order in the pres
ence of about l.fiOO people by James W Hlnk
ley. who nominated Thomas E. Bonedict for
Charmati. After making a few remarks the
Chairman Introduced Mr. Van Wyck. He read
his Hpeecti, as Is his custom, and took great
pains to eado the slhor Issue, Ills chief
topic was the canal Issue. Hn wa not Inter
rupted during his reading by any amount ot
applause.
Then the Chairman Introduced Mr. John B.
Rtanchlleld ot Chemung county. Ills speech
was long drawn out. and when liOnentloqed
the name of William Jennings Bryan there
was tremendous applause. He made effort
after effort to shorten the applause by break
ing In with it continuation of hla remarks, but
was unsuccessful, and was compelled to wait
until the cheers nnd handclapplng died out.
During the latter part uf Mr. Htanchfteld's
speech the people became resiles and inat
tentive, and hundreds left the building. Alter
a few remarks by Ilicbard E. Connell the as
aemblage was dlsmisaed and the disappointed
crowd left for their homes.
'PUT TAMMANY TO SLEEP.
nvi.i.nsT ortATonr of ran teaji in
TUK VTKAltT TTiaWAM,
Croker Came In, but Wouldn't Talk, nnd
Finally Nothing but a Calliope In the
Street Could Keep the Kyellds Up Con
way, Belmont, and O'Sulllvan RpenU.
But for tiio arrival ot Richard Croker tn tho
middle ot the psrformanco the massmcetlng
at Tammany Halt last night might be asleep
yot. It was sweetly slumbering when Mr.
Croker came, but woko up to greet him, and
wa thorcafter kept awake by extornal agen
cies, consisting of noise-making contrivances
so powerful that ono orator quit In despair and
tho others had little chance. By 10 o'clock
most of tho nudlonce had given up tho fight
against somnolence and drifted home to finish
thclrnapslnbed,
To Mr. Thomas F. Conway of Plattsburg.
Democratic candidate for Attornoy-Gonoral,
the peculiar charnctor of tho meeting wss
largely due. Sir. Conway doesn't look partlcu
larlyllko a hypnotist. When he arose In re
sponse to an introduction by Chairman Augus
tus W. Fetors, he revealed himself as a rather
palo young man, with a shock ot blaok hair,
nnd n sad and Inadequate voice with a pecu
liarly noothlnc tone to it. Mr. Conway ambled
gent ly along the towpath during the first half of
hlsRpeech.and re peatod the liquid word "canal"
several hundred times with Biich peculiarly
lulling ofTcet that the Tammany enthusiast
sitting just behind the Sun reporter went fast
asleep, and hi snore obliterated muoh of the
speaker's oration, However, the orator wa
heard to affirm with telling emphasis that Gen.
Alccrwas the author ot what ho termed the
"canal steal." Later on he reconsidered
this proposition, and Bald that It was Georgo
W. Aldrldgo. Then ho took a jump and put a
plea In tor hlmsolf, aftor which he proceeded to
a consideration ot the progress of civilization.
At the mention ot this phraso a groan went up
from the Tammany men. This was too much.
In all carts of the hall heads began to droop,
eyes closed, and presently the speaker's words
were dimly heard through a rhythmlo rumble
of nasal mualc. Morpheus had that meeting
by tho neek.
Whon over half the audience had succumbed
and scores wero going over every minute to
the nono-too-sllent majority, there was a
shout from tho platform and Mr. Richard
Croker mado his appearance and took a front
scat on ths platform amid enthusiastic yells
which roused everybody. In response to these
he bowed, and after Bomo minutes' pause the
speaker concluded hla speech, and a numbor ot
the slumberers relapsed. As soon as Chair
man Paters aroso to introduce the next
speaker the crowd shouted:
"Croker! Crokerl Spoeehl"
Chairman Peters -looked at Mr. Croker inter
rogatively, but that gentleman shook his head,
and Frederick (!. Schraub, who would now bo
Lieutenant-Governor of the State If hlB op
ponent. Hon. Timothy Woodruff, hadn't been
elected jnstoad, was introduced. Mr. Sohraub
Invested his face with an unctuous smile and
proceeded to repeat with admirable fidelity
to the text hla npoech ot a fortnight
ago nt the Van Wyck meoting In the
Brooklyn Academy of Music. Ills reference
to Bryan was wildly cheered. Possibly
the most Interesting point in his speech
and one ot deep astronomical Import was his
statement that It was the Democratic star
which led trie wise men ot the East to tho
manger in Bethlehem and subsequently guided
Columbus to the New World. During these
remarks Mr. Croker, who had noted with dis
satisfaction ths somnolent tendencies of the
crowd. Induced by the hypnotic. Mr. Conway,
left the hall. It waa aald that he had gone out
side to review the parade of the Bulllvans
and ot Charley Murphy's political output, but
when a few moments later thero was heard
from outside a. great blare of bands interspersed
with other rackets, which kept tho crowd Inside
awake for an hour, a Tammany man who sat
near the press table leaned over and said :
"Croker done that. He's a foxy guy. He
aeon that this meeting was adead one. an these
hoboes pounding their ear all over the place, ao
he just sent out for some brass bands to make
things whoop."
This proved to be a pretty unpleasant per
formance for the rest of the speakers. Mr.
Schraub contrived to get through with his
remarks, and was followed by Mayor James K.
McGuIre ot Syracuse, who looks like a pocket
edition 01 oenator rat juccarrep. and who,
considered a an orator, mean well, but hasn't
got the voice. Mayor McGulra struggled
bravely, but upon tho advent ot the seventh
braes band he remarked wearily:
"The other end of that profession must be
somewhere up In the borough of the Bronx."
Then he sat down and Perry Belmont arose.
Porry exhibited great robustness of vocallty.
and waa having the liveliest kind of competi
tion with "Hall to tho Chief." repeated five
times outside, when an Imported steam whistle
contrivance, a sort of calliope, or one note
with a gurgle and squeak variation, chipped
in to aid tho band. After that the sentiment
of the orator could be best guested by observ
ing tln changing shades of purple In his face.
The last paragraph which Tnit Son reporter,
ten yardu away, waa able to make out ran as
follqwa:
"Nothing could be more contemptible-toot-toot
than the resolutions tootle-tootle-toot
recently paased br the Bar tootle-br-r-r-r-r-wheop
I Association. That resolution toot
wheepl declared that Mr. Leventritt toot-toot-toot-tootle-toot
wa not a fit person to
recolvo tootle-br-r-r-r-wheepl a nomination.
The toot stab tootle-toot at char toot-br-r-r-tootle

eminent toot-toot-toot-toot reapectablllty
wueap! wheopl brrrr- wheep I appertains
toot-tootle-toot-tootle-brrrr-toot-toot wheepl
bar."
Then the whistle really got down to business
and Mr. Belmont was mlghtly lucky to get
back Into his scat without an apoplectic stroke.
The siren onr was still heard up the street
when Dr. W. JT O'tiullivan arose and added su-
JierfiuouB sadness to the occasion by reading
orty-seven newspaper extracts, which were
filially discovered to bo. not patent mediolne
testimonial! as at first suspeoted, butpoUtlcal
editorials. Ouhor speakers were John W. Keller
and Theodore Sutro. Outside there was sneak
ing from stands, and thousands eacapod from
the Innor meeting to those outer ones, where,
owing to the bracing air, auditors .could keep
awake, without.plnchlng themselves.

Election Day Anticipated In the Thirty
fourth Street Armory,
It was election day yesterday for the Seventy
flratNew York Voldnteor Infantry. All mem
bers ot the regiment 21 years old or oyer had
the opportunity of Toting for Stato and other
officers at the regiment's armory. Thirty
fourth street and Park avenuo. It was said
that about 150 members of tho regiment could
not vote because thoy are under age. Of tho
remainder, a near as anybody could kuoss,
about 000 votod.
The regiment voted by companies, thetwelvo
polling places being the twelvocompany rooms.
The Captain oi each company appointed two
Republican and two Democratic members of
the company as inspectors of election. After
the voting began, at 0 A.M., no one but mem
bers of the regiment was allowed inside the
armory, guards being posted at tho entrance to
keep outsiders from entering. Xb attempt
was made, however, to prevent election
eering by members of tho regiment.
This gave tho Republican and Demo
eratlo partisans plenty of opportunity to
do missionary work among their less parti
san oomradts. The Democratic members of
the regiment were prepared to do the more of
teotlve work. The regiment has not been paid
offyst. Mr. Croker was informed of this fact,
and a Chairmen of the Finance Committee of
Tammany Hall he saw to It that all tho Demo
cratic members of the regiment were plenti
fully Supplied with money early In the week.
This money was freely spent upon those who
would accept It to supply personal wants.
Thia philanthropy, for vote-getting only. Is
raid .to have won some voters for Van Wyck.
ho effort was snado by the Republicans in the
regiment to Insult their comrades with offers ot
political humanity.
Blank ballots, about seven feot long, were In
each company room, and hung on the wall
were the names ot tho. candidate running for
every Htate office and the names of the candl
dutss running foroftlcein every Congress. Son
ate and Assembly district In every county In
the State. There were also poster ballots for
the candidates ot overy party for State offices.
In the majority of cases the soldier voters
wrote on the blank ballots the names
of every candidate for whom thoy wanted
to vote. Many members of the regi
ment live outside tho city, and for other
than State ofilcers they voted for the
candidates running In the localities where the
voterausually votod. As u rule, however, only
8tat officer were voted for. It was too much
trouble to vote for other candidate.
After the ballots were prepared thoy wero
put In envelopes and sealed. Tho voter then
wrote his name on the outside ot the envelope
and underneath it the namo or the town
and the, number of the election 'district
where , ho usually votes. Tho envelopes
wore then deposited with the inspectors of
election. The rotes, will be sent to the
SeoroUry of State and by him Bent
to the County Clerks oi tho counties outsldo
New York nnd to tho Bureau of Elections In
thUclty. The ballots will then be forwarded
to the inspectors of elections of the election
districts indicated on-the envelopes and then
counted with the vote of those districts. Great
caro had to be taken In the spelling of the
names of the persons voted for. If the names
are not Correctly spelled, the Intention ot the
voter will miscarry, as the vote will be recorded
for the person whose namo appears on tho
S allot. It was thought at tho armory yester
ay that very many ot the ballots would provo
to be defective on this account.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning an In
struction booth, with blank ballots In It. was
setup in Thirty-fourth street, near tho west
wall of ths tunnel. Thero was a placard on tho
outside of It whloh read:
" y o fdr tho man who was with us in Cuba."
Tha booth was In charge of friends of Col.
Roosevelt in tho regiment and ot civilians.
Tho voting was practically over at li o'clock.

Thinks Vol, Roosevelt's " Running Around
the State Like a Wild Man Trying to De
ceive the Vrople " Denies That He
Owns the Candidates for the rtrncti.
Mr. Crokor had nnothor statement tomnko
last night. It was about Col. Roosevolt's Long
Island spoethos. Ho said:
"Tho answer to Col. Roosovolt Is very simple.
If Col. Roossvelt Is proud of his record us a
Pollco Commissioner, why docs ho got nugry
because I make that record public. It ho is
Proud of it ho ought to ho glnd ot tho fact that
I laid It beforo the people. He must be nslmmed
ot It or ho would not get so angry and go
galloping up and down and all over tho Sl.ito
tolling falochoodR about the Demoeratlo party,
Ihe Demoeratlo Issues and myself. Col. Roose
velt dodged lih taxes in 1807. Ho is dodging
State Ismioh, nnd now In his Wild West stylo ho
Is pranclntr around dodging his rocord ns a
Police Commlhslonor. Kvery tlmo he says
a word on any iiuestloti ho shows his trito
character. Ho Is erratic, untruthful, nnd un
trustworthy. Col. Roosovolt lias mado a cer
tain kind ot famoun udodcor. He hns yot 10

ono cont of taxos.
"All I have to say about this organization of
oum Is that It stands (Irmly und'-unfllncliliialy
for home rule, for which tho organisation that
has taken up Col. Roosovelt nnd put him to
scolding does not stand. Home rulo means tho
progress of this great city, tho benefit of all
who are In It. Col. Roosovelt. jumping
hero and thero, says In n general way
that this organization receives money for
allowing crimo to bo oommltted. I challenge
him or anybody elso to show that Tammany
Hall or I havo over received a cent from any
unlawful source or for allowing anybody to do
anything that Is not allowed under tho Inw.
In reference to tho judlclnry.Col. Itoosevelt
talks falsely to people who do not know, be
cause they Ilvo outside New York, that what lie
says Is falsehood. The judiciary issuo Is plnin
and simple. It Is 0110 of Tammany
Hall against tho corporation nnd trust
lawyers who run tho so-oilled Bar Asso
ciation. Theso lawyors havo mado their living
out of corporations and trusts. They havo
grown rich through trusts nnd corporations.
Thoy want to grow rlchor by putting their
favorites on the bench. Theso trust
lawyers nnd their favorites succeeded in
numinga Committee of One Hundred to protest
against Tammany having the right to choq.o
its own candidates for Judges In a fnlr conven
tion assembled in Tammany Hall. That con
vention declined to recolvo the dictation of tho
lawyers and their favorites because It could

Hi.Enisnuno. Pa., Nov. a. Nearly 500 votes
were cast in the camp of tho 203d New York
Volunteers at Conowngo Station to-day, and
of these it can be put down as a fact that Col.
Roosovelt obtained a decided majority. The
Third Battalion of this regiment Is from New
York city and the remainder from contral New
York. Croker sent three Tammany heelors to
the camp last evening, and, thoy spent money
freely at the canteen, The boys aocopted tholr
hospitality and voted for the other fellow today.

Tramps In New Jersey Force Brewer Slunseh
to Disrobe.
BanwAT, N. J Nov, 3. Adolph Munsch. a
German brower, who has boen working In New
York, was held up by tramps near Linden on
the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks at an early
hour this morning and robbed of everything
he had on Ms neroou except his undergarments.
Hix tramps halted him, and one of them kept
him covered with a revolver.
"Take off your clothes I" one of them com
manded, and he obeyed.
Then tho tramps took from his pockets the
small amount of money he had and some minor
articles, and the one who was most ragged and
dirty cast off his old clothes and put on those
token from Ml nscli. Ho handed his old
olothes to Mlltisoh, saying: "Here, Dutchy. put
those oa and get outl" Munsch obeyed, and
then made tils way here, whore lie reported his
Plight to Chief of Polite Wright. Hla appear
ance was ludicrous, for the trousers he wore
were four Inches too short for him, the walat
coat wouldn t go half yny round him, and tho
cost was equally small,
Tho tramps went toward Elizabeth. and po
licemen In cities east of Railway arelrokliie
forpnoof them whoso clothes are big enough
for two.
