New York. Aug. IL. - William Jen-
ningS Bryan and party left pittsburs
this morning OH the day express over
the main line of the PENNSYLVANIA rail
road.
There was no brass band to speed
the parting guests hut good sized
crowd had gathered in front of the ho-
tel to catch Il glimpse of the hoy ora
tor When lie made his appearance
Il lusty cheer Went ul,. He looked
tired and sleepy. and it is little wOn-
der. after the ordeal he has expert
enccl since last Friday. All along the
route to the station the party was
greeted With cheers. Quite Il crowd
had gathered mt the depot, and as the
distinguished party hurriedly en-
barked OH the waiting train the menu
bers were given II hearty sentl-off.
The day express is Il fast train and
made but few stops on the eastward
journey.
The train stopped at Grccnsl,urg for
only two minutes. About 2.,H)O people
were at the station. MIR. Bryan APP
peared on the rear platform and was
greeted by Il hearty cheer. He rc-
fused to speak but bowed his ac-
acknowledgements 1t was understood
that lie would do little if any speaking
on the route to New York. In fact. Mr..
Bryan has done what he has been fire.
quently cautioned by Mrs. Bryan that
lie would do. he has talked himself
loarSe before he reached New York,
and he was practically forced to rc-
strain his inclinntions toward vOlubil-
ity and enters upon Il system of vocal
culture. He is quite lloarSe. and If he
dGeS not mend his voice il will ma
terially affect the force of his antici-
ratcd speech ut Madison Square Gar
den.
Mrs. Bryan also shows evidence of
over cXcrtiOn of the voice and is quite
llO:lrse but What most worried her this
morning was that she lost. during her
stay in PittSl,llrg, the engagement ring
given her by Mr. Bryan when lie wed
her i'll 1854.
At various points along the line from
Pittshurg to New York Mr.. Bland at
tempted to speak. but each Tins was
was explained that the nominee was
saving his voice for the big speech IN
Madison Square Garden. but the crowd
was not satisfied until Mr.. Bryan ap-
l,earcd and shock llalds with Il few of
Them
They Reach New York.
MIR. Bryan stepped upon the soil Of
the Empire state for the first time
since his nomination for the presidency
by the Democratic national convention
at Chicago. 1t was practically Il step
into the avowcd section Of opposition
to his candidacy, an opposition not in
party lines, but said to exist within
the party under whose emblem he
looks for victory in November. II,
however. the ordeal vas one that
would make nervous the average man.
its effect upon Mr.. Bryan was not. TO
he observer. of that character. When
Mr.. Bryan stepped from the train and
grasped the hand of Senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee. his greeting showed not Il
bit of nervousness, but either II tinge
Of bravery in facing the ordeal or IL
gladncsS at being among those with
whom he could discuss and argue the
great issues of the campaign. The
crowd that gathered at the Jersey
City station of the Pennsylvania road
to greet the Bryan party was not as
large as expected, a thousand people
in all, possibly, paying their way to
the ferry house in order to see the
rclOubtablc orator from the West But
it was !; crowd that made the fifty
Jersey City policemen display every
hit of their ability in S,lbduing. and
which was enthusiastic to the core 1t
was a crowd that was quite as c0snO-
pOlitan in its nature as it was evident
ly Democratic in its proclivitics and
symlmtlies.
Mr. alh Mrs. Bryan were driven to
w. L. st. Johns residence in New
York. All arrangements are complete
for the ratification meeting in Madison
Square Garden to-nislm.
