democratic committee. The greeting
showed no. one iOta of nervousness or
fear, but ldther a tinge CT bravery in
facing ,he ordeal. or gladness at being
among those w.Gh whom he could dis
Cuss and argue The great issues of the
campaign. The crowd thai gathered at
the Jersey City station of the Pcnnsyl-
vania railroad to gree; tic Bryan party
WAS no. as large as had been expected.
4 thousand people in all. probably
were paying their way to the ferry
hC2se in order 10 see the oln.or from
the west. but it was a crowd enthus.as-
tie to the core. A large majority pur-
chased ferry tickets emitting hem to
passage TO New York city and it was
evident from rhcir aa,ions afterwards
thG: hey expected to ride on the same
beat with the Bryan parry.
One anxious individual inquired of
Sergoant-at-Arms Oliver. of the dem
ocratic national committee: Does he
go in a special boat" Mr.. Oliver re-
sponded with contempt: mo. he is a
democrat" When Mrs. Bryan alighted
Mr.. Toflinson TOOK her in charge and
hurried her along the private passage
way which the police had laid Dut for
the party to pass uhrough. She was

and shook his head in refusal and then

The party reached the boat. They went
into the pilots cabin while two-thirds
Of the great crowd surged in upon the
lower deck and the ferry piled its way
to Desbrosses street slip, and kept
shouting approval of the candidate and
his principles. Outside the ferry gates

annoyed by the applause baked.
1t is stated thai Bryan's voice will
not be in good trim for his speech at
Madison Square Garden when tGmor>
row comes and further he contemplates
reading it from manuscript. This will
be a decided departure in the methods
of Bryan. 1t is minated he has his
speech committed so thoroughly to
memory that the usp 0f MANUSCRIPTS
will hardly be noticed, and it is further
insimated his repor'ed determination
to read his speech is due 40 his desire
to have it's effect attributed rather to
its contents than to manner of deliv-
cry.
