q personal one and that no political
significance could be attached to the
visit. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were enter
tained by Mr.. Benedict and his daugh-
ter Mrs. George X. French Of WASH

Kingston, N. Y. Aug. A.-Mr. and
Mrs. Bryan were brought over the
Hudson from Rhinecliff to Kingston
Point this afternoon on a tug. Three
or four hundred persons were at the
landing where the train was In walt
ing to receive the passengers from the
up-boat en- route to the Catskills. This
was the train for which Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan purchased the tickets for Big
Indian. on their way to Winnesocket
Lodge. where they are TO spend the
night as guests Of Major Hinckley,
chairman Of the state democratic COM
mittee. A rush was made for them by
the curious and excited crowd, and II
seemed for a time that the two police
men were quite unable to control the
crowd, but Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were
finally ushered into the parlor coach
Bavaria. Mr.. Bryan addressed the cit
izens from the rear platform, speak,
ing about five minutes. He began by
saying he did not care to make a
speech. but he always wanted to when
he saw people gathered like that. He
said: I'VE have a platform. believe
in a platform not only to get In on.
but to stand on after I get on. I be-
lieve I represent the best interests Of
the American people on this money
question. want you to study this
question, and after you have done that
/ believe you will be ready to join US
in opposing the gold standard. When
you find q man who tells you the gold
standard is a good thing you tell them
there never was a party that ever de-
clared In its favor. The men who ad-
vocate a gold standard In this country
are the men without party. Some
people will try to make you believe
this is a small matter. but you have
just as good q right to be heard and
receive protection In small matter as
In the large business interests. and /
want to say to you this Is q very inn
portant thing. This election Is very
important thing and I want you to
consider II SO, that you may all come
out right"
The train then moved on up towards
Kingston depot, four miles away. Al
this point the West Shore train had
Just brought a crowd Of passengers
who were waiting to be transferred to
this train. In addition several hum
dred people had assembled to greet the
Bryan party. During the transfer of
cars the crowd again rushed forward
10 shake Mr.. Bryan's hand. who stood
on the rear platform. while Mrs. Bry-
an was on that at the front, also re-
ceiving greetings. No speech was
made, as 1t was announced there that
Mr.. Bryan would make formal ad-
dress to the people of this city In front
of the city hall on his return from the
Catskills tomorrow afternoon.
After Mr.. Bryan had shaken hands
with hundreds, the train sped on for
the hills. No stop was made below
Phoenicia, 1t being an express train
and there was no special incident un-
til the Point was reached. The
democratic candidate alighted and
shook hands with several hundred
more. Down at Kingston q colored
man stepped up to him and said:
Now. three cheers for Mckinley"
but although there were several Nc
Kinley badges about. no one respond
ed to the colored mans appeal. At
Phoenicia cheers were given for
Bryan.
The next stop was Allabea. Though
brief, Bryan again took people by tine
hand until the train began to move
away. At shandaken q large crowd
had gathered and a man WAS blowing
q cornet strenuousiy. Again the ell
yer candidate and his wife made their
appearance and greeted the crowd
cordially. On reaching the rail des-
tination. at Big Indian. a large crowd
was found awaiting the arrival OF the
party and II was with difficulty that
Mr.. Bryan and his wife were escorted
to the carriage which was waiting 10
convey them up to the Big Indian
valley He was forced to speak a few
words from the piazza of boarding
house nearby. saying that he was
much surprised. though much graft
fed. that so many had been attracted
by curiosity and interest. Il hope
those who have come to scoff will re-
main to pray. When l call a person a
| goldbug. don't mean TO criticize. but
/ use the term with the same good
| feeling that he uses the word luna
tic when he speaks of me-" Mr..
Bryan spoke for three minutes. dur
| ing which time several cameras were
| leveled at him and then was hurried
away for the lodge. after meeting
| Samuel ]. Cornell of the New Grand
hotel and promising to drive over
| there for dinner. A special train will
| then be taken for Kingston. where he
will speak at length at l o'clock.
The drive up the valley was great
| ly enjoyed by both Mr. and Mrs Bry-
an. on arrival at the lodge they
were greeted by their host, Major
| Hinckley. and also by Public Printer
| Thomas E. Benedict
