DELUGED WITH LETTERS ASKING
HIM TO SPEAK.
COUNTING ON EASTERN AID
PLEASED WITH THE ATTITUDE OF
NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.
Mr. Bryan Says He Was Sure That All
the Lenders Would Fall Into
Line Except ThOse Whose
Pockets Would BE
Affected.

I-pper Red Hook, n. Y, Aug. I.-Every
;,d;c.,,on here to-day has been toward
what is a settled fact, that William j.
Bryan expects and has been assured OF
Eastern support. Letters continue 10 pour
in, asking him to speak at Eastern points,
and IL the requests were Needed. he could
spend the entire time from now until cleo
ton day in New York state. Nearly every
city of any size between New York and
Chicago has urged him to make a stop,
and, without exception. the invitations
have come from leaders of Democratic or
canizations Mr.. Bryan showed no sur
prise this morning at the news
paper stories that the New York
Democratic state organization had
decided to support him. He did re-
fleet a little bit upon the statement that
Senator Hill had told Danforth that he
would support and work for him (Mr.
Bryan). He said in relation to that ques-
ton: "It is not Senator Hills custom to
speak through others. and l doubt if Mr..
Danforth gave out a statement purporting
to be made by Senator Hill. The senator
will probably make his own announce
ment."
1t was said here to-day on very good au-
thority that Senator Hill would take part
in the demonstration in honor of Mr.. Bry-
an at Albany on Tuesday night. The state
ment needs authorization, however.
The receipt of a letter from Leader Shee-
han. of Tammany, asking Mr.. Bryan to
! speak in New York, added another chain
to the circumstances leading up to proof
of thorough understanding between Mr..
Bryan and the New York Democracy.
The published statement that Richard
Croker had approved Mr.. Sheehan's and
Tammany's course in indorsing Bryan
caused the candidate great deal of salts
faction. however, and he said that he had
always believed that all the great leaders
would fall into line except, perhaps, those
who had financial interests with the gold
side of the issue. intimating that the lead
ers in the gold Democratic movement had
mercenary interests.
Congressman Suizer arrived here tonight
and was closeted with Mr.. Bryan. He
brought with him Professor Van Buren
| Densloe, formerly professor in Chicago
| university, and now a writer of silver lit
erature. When the conference was over
Mr.. Sulzer said that he could not divulge
! the reason for his visit, except that Pro-
| fessor Densloe desired to visit Mr.. Bryan
| Despite all pressure tonight Mr.. Sulzer in.
| sisted that he had nothing to communicate
| Mr.. Bryan's speech at Tivoli tomorrow
| is expected to be deliered to 5000 or 500
| people. and Mr.. Bryan's preparations to
| day would seem to indicate that it will bt
| the greatest effort made since the Madiso.
| Square garden speech. 1t will be politica
| in its tone and will. perhaps, attempt II
answer in part the speech Of Mr.. Cochran
This afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan. Mr.
and Mrs. E. C. Perrine, the Misses Perrine
