Hughes Welconied With Brass Bands aud Much Hed Fire, CORTLAND, N.Y, Oct. 25. ~-With a profusion of red fire, with brass bands aud much cheering, Charles E, Hughes, the Republican candidate for governor, wis welcomed in Cortland last night. The streets mbout the opera house were blocked with people who had vainly endeavored to obtain admission to the crowded opera house The demonstration lu Lis honer led Mr. Hugles In his opera house address to say: “It Is very evident that Cort- land is awake, There is no apathy or lack of political Interest here. All we desire (n this fight is that the people of New York shall he awake to the im- portance of the Issue and shall do thelr duty according to thelr conscience.” After leaving Elmira, Mr. Hughes coutinued to tour the southern tler, touching many points where Mr. Hearst recently appeared. He spoke at Waverly Ino the opera house and then stopped for a brief five minute address from the rear platform of his car at Owego. Next there was a stop of an hour at Binghamton while the candidate's car was being transferred to another rail road, He will speak in Binghamten this afternoon. At Whitneys Polat, Mr. Hughes made as five minute address and at Marathon spoke u few words to a crowd at the depot. Marathon furnish. ed one of the most unique features of the campaign. Welcoming the cand! date was a band of seven plecos, all the players members of the same fam. ily. The father played the bass horn, the mother a cornet and the five chil dren the other instruments. Marathon was the last stop before Cortland was reached. True Rustic.
