Newark, and the procession was started
for Caledonia hall, where the second
speech was delivered. 1t was n drive
of fully two miles through the residence
portion. and the quiet Of the route
formed striking contrast to the scene
which greeted the nominee when the hall
was rcnchcd The hall is II vast struc-
tnrc. originally built for the sangerfcst,
and has seating capacity of lOOOo.
Every nook and corner was damned with
II mass Of humanity. and the immense
sen of faces rising in an incline from
the stage made stirring spectacle.
When Mr.. Bryan arrived there was
not an inch Of space left, except Il few
yards of the stage whore the speakers
table stood The hall was profusey
decorated with flags and bunting, and
nnumcrabc lights flooded the aisle
with briliancy 1t was nearly, .
O'Clock when Mr.. Bryan arrived and he
was presented TO the audience without
further delay. He spoke at some
length, principally on the money qucs-
tion. and was greeted with frequent APP

is to manifest that evil spirit of section
alsm which was buried by four years
of civil war. The revival of that spirit
is abhOrent and the use of the phrase
the enemy's country odious every
where, seems more odious, more mon
strous even, when applied to the city of
New York than anywhere else"
The senator devoted considerable time
to the currency question and referred
to the utterances of the hoy orator
and to the many pearls of speech
which he has been strewing along the
railroad lines of this country.
The senator denounced the effort to
inducement to vote for the silver candi-
date by raising the cry of the masses
against the classes" 1t is, he said,
vile attempt to endeavor to arouse sec
tiOnal feelings
Speaking of the democratic convention
at Chicago, he said: In its frantic dis
order and wild harrangues it recalled to
the minds of all thoughtful observers the
scenes which history depicts in the con.
vention in the reign of terror and the
revolutionary clubs of Paris. If they
could not manage a convention in order
ly, decent, American fashion, how can
it be supposed that they could manage
a great government Look at their state
conventions. Are such men as these fit
to take charge of the vast interests and
complicated administration of this great
republic? We have a number Of impor
tant questions open in our foreign re-
lations. We shall be called upon in a
short time to determine what we shall
do in regard to the Nicaraguan canal.
We must settle the controversy of the
Hawaiian islands. We must stop Cana
dian encroachment on our Alaskan boun-
Diary. We must see to it that the Mon
roe doctrine is guarded and indicated
everywhere. The Cuban question is cul-
minating and the day is not far distant
when we must take decisive action to
put an end to the hideous and desolating
war These are delicate, difficult and
important questions. requiring the high
est and wisest craftsmanship. Imagine
trusting them for solution to the crew
who wrote that platform and held that
convention ut Chicago"
! At the conclusion of Senator Lodges
| speech there was an outburst of APP
| plause. at the conclusion of which Ed
ward Lauterbach spoke briefly, bringing

enough money in addition to pay for
their contribution and leave large
profit
II want you to understand the i'm
portance of this controversy. 1t is Il
question of whether the people have Il
right to govern themselves or whether
the great corporations, syndicatcs and
trusts own this government and have Il
right TO use it and plumber everybody
else for the enrichment of themselves
In our platform we declare that the gov
eminent is greater than the trusts. If
all these combinations are able to spend
their money to perpctuatc their reign,
are not the masses of the people willing
to give the only thing they can con-
tribute TO the success of any campaign.
namely, their votes when they go to the
ballot box?
my friends, | should think the pco-
pie who live here would esteem it Il great
privilege to cast II vote in favor of re
storing the government to its rightful
position, where it protects every citizen
in the enjoyment of his rights without
giving any privileges to any class
After Mr. Bryan had finished there
were cries for Mr.. Sewall and he was
introduced and was given three cheers.
The crowd demanded speech, but he
answered that he did not have time. and
if there was time left he would yield it
to the presidential nominee. Then there
were cries for George Fred Williams,
who came down ON the train with Mr..
Bryan, and the nominee for governor of
Massachusetts told of the welcome given
the candidate for the presidency He
said it had been unanimous, except at
New Haven, and when the name of Yale
college was mentioned it was roundly

was made. This was at Mansfield.
Mass. and from the platform Mr.. Bryan
shook Il few hands,.
Providence was reached NJ 1000 \
stop of fifty minutes was made here.
There was multitude of people ut the
station. Mr.. Bryan spoke from Il stand
directly in front of the city hall. He
ut once entered upon. and throughout his
address devoted himself to Il discussion
lowed in previous addresses that he has
made on his tour. He took for his text
these words from a book by Professor
Benjamin Andrews of Brown CniVer-
Sity. Providence:

Mr.. Bryan argued that there could be
no material difference between bullion
and coinage SO long as one could be con-
verified into the other at will.
He continued: Some of our oppo-
uents have been calculating how much
money they can make under free coin
age in buying silver bullion for 30 cents
and having coined into 100 cents. When

hundred enthusiastic admirers. A quick
trip across the city was necessary in or
der to make connection with the Colonial
express. which left the Providence de-
pot at 9 o'clock.
Mr.. Bryan's departure from Boston
was noticea bic only for the enthusiasm
cyinced by the 1900 people who saw him
aboard the Colonial express ut the Prov,
idencc depot. He made no speech, and
simply stood on the platform of his car
and smiled goodbye to his yelling adj
mircrs. Cheer after cheer greeted the
party on its arrival at the depot. 1t was
with the greatest difficulty that the par
ty made their way through the crowd.

TAMMANY WAS ANGRY.
An Attempt to Draw Catholic Clergymen
Into the Campaign.

New York. Sept. 2S.-The World to-
morrow will say:
Tammany Hall was angry yesterday
over Il letter which it says is being sent
out by the business mems campaign
committee of Philadelphia to Catholic
Clergymen. The following is the most
important paragraph in the letter:
Recalling with gratitude the eminent
public services of the late Most Rev.
Archbishop Hughes and many of the
Roman Ctaholic clergy, when the in
tegrity of our government was threatened
on former occasion, we take the lib
erty TO suggest that the present is a
period of equal danger. The govern
ment is not threatened by physical
force, but insidious and false ideas that
inspire incipient anarchy and contempt
for proper authority are industriously
propagated throughout the country"
Secretary Osborne of the republican
committee said that body had nothing TO
do with the letter and was not mixing
any religion with its politics.
