The climax of a remarkable day of campaijmin? was reached last night when Judjre Taft

and Governor Hughes met on the speakers' platform la Madison Square Garden before a

tremendous audience, which was wil.l with enthusiasm. Whoa Mr. Taft entered the Garden

the crowd cheered, without a break, for nineteen minutes. All efforts to check the enrim-

Blasm" were fruitless until the audience was worn out. Jmljje Tuffs speech was interrupted

by constant applause of almost every remark he made.

Judge Taft in bis speed in Cooper Union discussed the labor question, showed what tlse

Republican party has done for the laboring men, while the Democratic party when in power

did nothing declared that the injunction plank in the Democratic platform, if read literally,

was meanings; denied that his attitude toward labor had bee* hostile, reviewed his judl-

would defeat the ends of justice and fatally weaken the power of courts, and d-clnred xbaz

[By To!f;rraph to Thf Tribune.]

Pittsburgh Oct. 28.—

William Montgomery, of

the Allegheny National Bank, was convicted latethis) afternoon on nineteen of twenty-one counts

for embezzlement and misappropriating $144,000of the bank's property. Two of the counts were

withdrawn. Montgomery had already been con-

victed on a charge of.embezzling; $469,000 fromthe bank, and when he was led back to his

cell in the county jail to-night he collapsed

utterly. He fainted several times inhis ceil last

night. Montgomery can be sentenced to tea

years on each of the charges on which he was

convicted to-day, as well as to ten years on the

previous conviction, making his possible sen-

yesterday to keep the name of R. R. Quay out

of the case, but who were overruled, themselvesbrought the son of the former United States

Senator Into the case this afternoon. It was inthe last few minutes of the trial and left the

court room wondering. Addeson S. Altaffer,

discount clerk, on the witness stand was asked

ifhe had not acted as private bookkeeper for

K. R. Quay while performing his duties at thebank. He answered that he had and that Quay

had paid him regularly."We have only begun to fight." said F. Y.

Audience Roars for Taft UntilCom-

pletely Exhausted.Twelve thousand persons, packed into every

inch of space in the vast auditorium of Madison

Square Garden, shook its walls to their very

foundations in greeting Judge Taft and Gov-

ernor Hughes at the largest meeting of the

campaign, under the auspices of the Republican

County Committee, last night. The great, spon- '.

taneous. wildly enthusiastic, tremendously •".-

spiring, soul stirring tributes touched the candi-

dates to the very depths. In sustained inre»

and depth of genuine feeling the meetins as far

surpassed the Bryan-Chanler meeting in the

Garden on Monday M the thunders of the irre-

sistible ocean might ill above the noise made

by a mill stream tumbling over a dam.

It seemed an augury of the mighty voice cf

the people at the polls on Tuesday, as the audi-

ence rose to its feet in a whirlwind of enthusi-

astic and devoted allegiance to the two candi-

dates.It was the acme of \u25a0 night of triumphal cam-

paigning in a downpour of rain. Thousands of

those in the Garden had stood for an hour la

the rain that they might be sure of their op-

portunity to pay their tribute to Taft and

Hughes.

Never was then? a Madison Square Garden

meeting held under more discouraging weather

conditions. Never was there one -which sur-

passed it in size and enthusiasm.While the monster meeting was going on In

the great hall, the parade was wending its

way through a downpour of rain through the

heart of the city. Though the streets wewHooded, the miserable weather was utterly ig-

nored both by those in the parade and by the

j thousands who stood on the curb along the Una

of march.GREAT GREETING TO GOVERNOR.

hen Governor Hughes walked through tha

hall, and later when Judge Taft came, the scenes

were such, both men saM, as could never be

effaced from their memory, and will never beforgotten by those in the Garden. Starting at

either end of the hall, the cheers increased lavolume and numbers until they met in the cen-

tre of the auditorium and went up in one vast

roar. ck and forth the cheers reverberated in

a veritable storm Men and women imped on

chairs, n railings and on every point of vant-

age, and cheered and shouted until M seemed asif they could shout no more But each time It

died away the demonstration -would rise again,

gradually working up a frenzy of enthusiasm,But it was not alone a tribute to the men.

When they expounded the doctrines for whichthey stood the audience stamped its earnest

and demonstrative approval on every point. Itwas only by pleading for the opportunity to

continue- their speeches that they were able to

check some of the outbursts that started while

they t c rpeaklng.

Judge Tafl said:

Fellow Citizens: Iam glad to have an oppor-tunity to come face to face with representatives ;of labor unions, and to discuss with them theissues which have been raised in this cam-paign in respe t to the attitude that organizedlabor should occupy toward the two leading po-liticai parties.

In the first place Mr. Samuel Gompprs. at thehead of the Amt-rican Federation of Labor,

has attempted to deliver the entire organizedunion labor vote, and possibly the unorganizedlabor vote, to Mr. Bryan as the leader of theDemocracy, and if this grant and delivery werecomplete perhaps it would be useless for me toaddress you on the subject,

Bui Iventure to assume that the laboring menof this country, and especially tfcose who areorganized, arc too intelligent ami farsighted

and too Independent and courageous in thoughtto allow themselves to be delivered as politicalfactors by any leader from one party to another.Iassume that laborers, like other men. differ inthf>lr political principles, that there are Re-publican labor men and Democratic tabor m^n,

and thai it la noi too late, even after Mr. G<">m-prrs'K action, to argue out the \u25a0;'!<•>•• i• • whichparty should be supported upon grounds appeal-ing to reason.

The record of the Republican party in Con-gress In its limited Jurisdiction has been mostremarkable in the number of valuable statuteswhich have been enacted In the interest oflabor the eight hour law. the sixteen hour law,

the model child labor law, the Interstate rail-way arbitration act. the interstate railway em-ployers' liabilityact. the government employes"compensation act. the safety appliance acts,

some two or three In number; the appropria-tion for Investigating the cau«e of mining disas-ters—are nil especially directed to the interestof laborers employed either by the government,by th.- Interstate railways, or at work within theDistrict of Columbia, in the exclusive jurisdic-tion of Congress

This is a record of which any party may wellbe proud, and it is \u25a0 record In which theDemocratic party has no part. Wot \u25a0 single

London, Oct.—

Suffragette disturbanceshave driven the government to the unusualcourse of temporarily closing the strangers' andladies' galleries in the House of Commons. Thiswas announced by the Speaker in response to aquestion from Premier Asquith and Mr. Dal-four, the leader of the Opposition, as Parlia-ment was about to adjourn.

While the House was discussing the licensingbill this evening; it was interrupted by th« rj'V-i

play of a placard and sudden shrill cries from'the ladies' gallery, demanding votes for women,

while simultaneously a bundle of handbills flut-tered down from the strangers' gallery at theopposite end of the Chamber, and a man sh<->utf dprotests against "injustice to women."

Attendants hurried to the galleries, and themale offender was unceremoniously ejected, butfrom the ladies' gallery sounds of a desperatestruggle were heard. Two suffragettes hadfirmly chained themselves to the grille,and re-sisted for a time all efforts at removal, cryingcontinuously in shrill tones their demands forvotes.
