A beautiful silk banner bearing the Inscription of the organization headed the parade.

They arrived at the half at 8:30. On entering each waved a beautiful silk flag and gave three cheers for McKinley and Roosevelt.

Frederick William Holls made the principal speech of the meeting. It was an elaborate argument on expansion and militarism. He declared that expans.on has been the policy of all the great leaders of this country, and that the United States has gradualtybeen dispossessing Spain in theestern world John Proctor Clarke was the only one of the speakers that stirred up any Antagonism. While he was declaring that there are rto classes In this country and every one has an opportunity to make money honestly, a voice shouted; How did get his?" By hard, hard work," Mr. Clarke shouted in reply.

And be is the best employer in Ohlo.J What about 'plain duty and that tariff tax on Porto Rico? asked another. Put him out! Throw him out', shouted the Germans. A police captain, while Mr. Clarke was beginning to answer the inquiry, put the questioner out of the hall.

ROOSEVELT Ofi CROKER He Says the Issues of the Cam paign Now are Orderly Liberty Under the Law Against Mob Spoke Fifteen Times in Five Counties Yesterday. JAMESTOWN, Nov. 2.

Gov. Roosevelt wound up a hard days work here last night. He made fifteen speeches during the day in five counties. All of them were characterized by pungent attacks on Richard Croker and National Chairman Jones for their lurid Incltem.ent of the mob to violence on Election Day. The Governors principal stops were Dun kirk and Jamestown, both In Chautauqua County.

At Batavia Gov. Roosevelt said; "Beyond all other issues are the Issues of orderly liberty under tjie law and of civic honesty. Mr. Bryans chief lieutenant, Mr. Croker, represents the forces which stand for civic dishonesty, and now they openly champion the cause of riot, of mob violence, of upsetting by force or fraud the verdict rendered by the people at the polls.

Without any rebuke or repudiation from Mr. Bryan, and with the openly expressed encouragement and approval of Senator Jones, who Is running Mr. Bryan's National canvass, Mr. Croker has now twice. In open statements Incited the ignorant, the violent and the lawless to open riot on election next Tuesday.

He has done this In so many words, with the approval, tacitly expressed, of the National leaders of 1)18 party. Such advice Is a fitting sequence to the way In which the members of his party have for the last six weeks been conducting their campaign. It Is fitting and natural, when mobs are encouraged, to break up peaceable political meetings, to interfere with the right of free speech and of free discussion on the platform of the issues before the people, that thre should follow advice from the recognized leaders of the party guilty of such con duct calculated to overthrow the verdict of the people when it shall be given."

IT SEA. STEAMSHIP BROKEN SHAFT. NORFOLK, Nov. 2. The British steamship Broadgarth, with a broken shaft, was picked up at sea by the British steamer Casos and towed into Hampton Roads last night.

The Broadgarth left Tampico last week, for a foreign port, and met with a succession of storms off the Southern coast, which blew her out of her course.

PROGRESS OF NEW BRIDGE Cable Construction May Begin Next Spring -The Foot Bridge Cables Finished. The nmlssloners of the New East River Bridge met yesterday afternoon, and read a report from Chief Engineer L. L. Buck, on the progress of the work. Only routine business was transacted The engineer's report was in part as follows: The Brooklyn tower is ready for the roller beds, only three of which are on hand.

The north leg of the Manhattan tower Is ready for the roller beds, but the only two beds yet delivered have been rejected for defective workmanship. In Brooklyn the cantilever trusses have been erected, with all the floor beams, except one of the Broadway beams.

Elmer Q. Sammls presided. Joseph T. Collins, the first speaker. compared the last administration of the Democratic party and that of the present, and asked his hearers what they thought the laboring man was going to do about It.

There was only one answer, and that was to vote the Republican ticket from top to bottom. When the votes are counted on election night, continued the speaker. It will give notice to both Bryan and Richard the Worse that free speech Is to be maintained In this country, and that the drag-out and knockdown arguments of. the Popocratic party has received its quietus. Henry A.

Powell said that four years ago he had a great admiration for the courage of Mr. Bryan in coming to New York when he knew what a great antagonism there waa to his theories, but In four years there has been a great change. He no longer speaks of silver when in the Eastern States. And every vestige of respect I ever had for the man, said the speaker, has been obliterated. He has lost his moral courage since the splendor of New York and the power of Tammany Hall have been exposed to his view.
