.he Rarclay street ferry there this after
-oon at 5I5 o'clock, nearly an hour late.
rbev pushed him along with wild We
bemence and forced him to make dash
for a carriage in waiting. Several thou
sand people gathered around the car
rage and cheered repeatedly. Mr.. Bryan
u,os introduced by Mayor Eagan and made
q few remarks, after which a squad OF
noIice hustled him to the ferry house.
Here William p. st. John and eX-Con-
gresham Clancy of Brooklyn met him,
and with these and Josephus Daniels OF
North Carolina, he crossed Barclay street.
Tnere was nobody waiting there and the
carriage was quickly driven to the Brook
lyn bridge and on to Brooklyn.
Tn BROOKLYN he delivered three speeches,
first in the Academy of Music, next TO
an overflow meeting outside, and later
addressed a large gathering of labor men
in the upper part of the city. A SOLID
mass of humanity packed the Academy Of
Music. 1t was an early crowd, and fully
an hour before the beginning of the meet
ing the doors were closed and thousands
were turned away. The streets surround
ing the academy were blocked with q
disappointed throng, who struggled ana
fought to qain admittance to see the DEM
ocratic standard bearer. When the chair
man Of the county convention, James D.
Bell. took mis- scat on the speakers stand,
AT o'clock there were jafnmed into the
hall over 5000 people. There was fair
sprnkling of ladies present. Among
those who sat on the stage were Elliott
Danfcrth chairman of the democratic
state convention; Senator Blackburn of
Kentucky and Col. Phil Thompson, con-
gresham from Kentucky.
At sos o'clock Mr.. Bell raped for or
der and introduced as chairman Judge
William ]. Gaynor of this city. Mr.. Gay
nor was heartily received, the audience
arising and cheering him to the echo. Just
before the opening of the meeting Mr..
Bryan was escorted to the theater by ex-
Congressman Clancy and B. ]. York Of
the Kings county democratic COMMITTEES,
and remained in an ante-room until his
turn to speak.
After preliminary remarks, in which
Judge Gaynor said that in this campaign
the democratic party would not be want
ing for leaders, Senator Patrick H. Nc
Carren was introduced and read reSolu-
tions which were adopted with rousins
cheers, pledging the democracy of Kings
county to an earnest and uneompromising
support Of Bryan and Sewall
When the names of Senator Quay and
Mr., Platt. both whom were Ga rpa sf ipa1-
ly alluded to in the resolutions, were mem
toned, there we're hisses while loud
groans followed the mention of Chairman
Mark Hanna's name.
Then Mr.. Bryan came.
The secretary had Just said: 81 have a
hst OF vice presidents of the meeting. 1
will read few"
But he never read them Mr. Bryan
had become tired of waiting for the pre-
llminaries to end, and with Bernard j.
YORK mad entered the stage from the
rear and walked calmly down the narrow
aisle formed by the sitting and standing
people mighty shout went up The
audience seemed to rise as one man. In
an instant, men and women were shout
ing with all the power of their lungs, and
as nearly everybody was armed with a
small American flag, which they were
waved IN the air, and the whole audito-
rum formed kaleidoscope of red, white
al hrst, became infected with the en-
'huslasm, and rose and cheered with their
more emotional neighbors.
II was a stirring scene. The waving
Hdgs, the resounding cheers from thous-
ahds OF throats, the excited people. all
contributed to make scene worth wit
Messing. Judge Gaynor finally asked for
quet and obtained 1t after the cheering
Aau lasted five minutes Judge Gaynor
I'd" mat It was no use to make q formal
speech. The crowd wanted to hear Bryan
ana Bryan alone, so the introduction was
mus brief: I'VE will now dispense with
lle formal parts of the meeting and will
Mr.. Bryan"
That was all the Judge said, and his
last words We're drowned in the roar that
again came from every part Of the house.
ana as the band began playing rally
round the Flag" the people had a new
incentive to shout. When quiet was re-
stored, Mr.. Bryan spoke as follows; IF
you dont stop, il you don't preserve or
uer' our opponents will say YOU are
against order. as well as against law.
