BUFFALO, Oct. 8 — William: Ran-
dolph Hearst fiulshed bis present
speaking tour in this city with a meet
ing In the convention hall where teu
days age his name was placed at the
head of the Democratic sinte ticket
The hall was tilled practically te its
capacity,
William J. Conners, chairman of the
Democratic state committee, called the
meeting to order, and Charles F. Ta
ber, former attorney general of the
state and formerly law partner of Wij
lam F. Sheehign, presided. Ar Hearst
said in part: .
“The Independence leaguer and the
Democratic party are house cleaning,
and out of every dark hole and dirty
corner come political cockroaches and
corporation croton bugs and wary old
rats of Wall street that swarm into
the Republican establishment next
door. We are not sorry to see them
go. They go because they hate the
bright light of publicity aud the pure
alr of booesty.”
Classifying Alton B. Parker as 2 “po-
litieal cockroach,” Hearst reiterated
his former charge that he was a “typ
Ical corporation attorney.” adding
“Judge Parker has replied to this
statement by the assertion that Le did
not receive any money from McClellan
for representing the election criminals
He calls that a denial. 1 call it a con
fession. He received no money from
McClellan, but he dees receive $50.00
& year as attorney for the Belmont iu
terests, uinl as attorney for those cor
porations, therefore he appeared in de-
fense of McClellan aud the election
thieves of New York.”
Mr. Hearst alluded to the statement
Attributed to H H. Rogers of the
Standard O11 company that Mr, Hearst
“would not suffic lently well serve the
large business Interests” aud declared
that the Standard Ol} systewn had been
made the greatest financial power in
this country by criminal evasion of the
law aod was more responsible for cour
ruption iu American public life than
all the other evil influences in politics
He added
“I shall be glad to promote the proper
interests of all legitimate business
wen, of whom [ am one, and the prop
or interests of laboring men and farm
ers and professional men, but most
[emphatically I WIT bot serve The large
business that Mr Rogers represents.”
Mr. Hearyt then paid bis respects fo
Charles A. Towne as one of these who
“scurried out” lu the “house cleaning”
He called bim a “spotted Towne" and
asserted that te “changed his spots
with every election. He began as a
Republican, went over to the Populists,
became a free silver Democrat, then a
Tammany Democrat and now is blink
lng beadlly back into the Republican
rat bole where he belongs.” He con
tinued
“Jerome Is another political croton
bug that Is trylog to crawl into the
Corporatien establishment 4cross the
Way aguinst the frantic protests of re
spectable Republicans. He goes where
Ryan goes, for, In the words of the
poet, 'Big fleas have little fleas upon
their backs to bite them, and little fleas
bave lesser fleas, and so on ad [nfl
nitum.’
“And with Ryan goes Paul Cravath,
ex-partuer of Mr. Hughes and Ryan's
present corporation counsel and polit
ical purasite, A year ago Mr. Cravath
represented Ryan aod stood sponsor
for Jerome. This Year Le has scram
bled across to the Republican Louse
and there represents Mr Ryan and
stands spousor for Hughes.”
