THROUGH CENTRAL NEw YORK.
Candidate Bryan Proceeds West From

! SYRACUSE, NY, August 26-Wiliam ].
| Bryan took up campaigning today almost
| before the sun was up. After d few hours
| rest from the Utica meeting, which did not
| END until half an hour beyond midnight,
| and after hurried breakfast he and Mrs.
| Bryan boarded the local passenger train
which left Utica at 7:15. There was no
| parlor car on the train, and they took
| seats in the common coach, with the pas
| scngers crowded about them for hand
| shakes and autographs.
Mr.. Bryan had little to say about the din
| ner with Senator Hin, which was undoubt-
! edly one of the most important events Of
| his New York tour.
1T was purely social affair" he said to
| the representative of the Associated Press
| Although the absence of Senator Iill
from the political meeting which followed
| the dinrer was commented upon. ;he re-
mark made by the candidate in his Albany
| speech, when fresh from Wolfert's Roost
| that the support of those democrats VINO
| did not indorse every plank OF the platform
was expected was commented upon as
| significant.
| There is general impression among
| those with the candidate that he received
| assurances that Senator Hin will declare
! for the ticket.
Two or three crossroads stations were
passed without any demonstration at the
| early hour, but at Rome there were $40
| people to whom the candidate spoke. He
said: Il do not suppose the train will stop
| long enough for me to say anything TO YOU,
! but L rather imagine, however. from what
| L can see, that you are moi afraid of being
overwhelmed with a flood of money. Some
| oil our opponents tell us that if we had free
! coinage OF silver We will have much
| money that we won't know what TO do
| with ii. Then again they tell that the
gold of the country would go out of cir
| culaton, and that We would not be ble
| to coin enough silver for our use. IL rather
| bpN ba IN
| believe this because there a"e lots OF towns
| In this country that would not object TO The
| Locating of mints in their midst. We be-
| lieNe that the free coinage of silVe" would
! bring gold to this country, and thai, too
without the aid Of syndicates."
Address at Syracuse.
In Hanover Square, Syracuse. 5000 per-
| sons gathered TO hear Mr.. Bryan. Mrs.
Bryan, exhausted by the exciting journey
of the previous day. remained i'm her room
at the hotel, for almost the first time in
the campaign failing TO hear her husband
speak Mr. Bryan said
Mr.. Chairman, Fellow-cit tizens: In a land
like ours, where government derives its just
powers from the consent of the governed
and where the official only for short time
exercises authority according to law, IL is
only fair that those who are to choose by
The ballot should be permitted to come in
contact with those who are candidates for
high position, and as in this campaign it
is very difficult for all of the people to find
the necessary money, either gold or silver,
10 visit the candidate, L thought ii might
be worth while for the candidate 10 visit
the people.
Then, too, L thought it might lie well for
one who is accused of being the candidate
of body of anarchists to show himself IL
order that you may judge whether he looks
like one who is bent upon destroying the
government under which he lives. L be-
iieNe, my friends, that there is no one in
all this land who is more in love with cur
institutions than L. L glory in the liberty
OF our country, and 1 glory in the opportu-
mites which our nation presents to every
citizen and to the children of all who live
beneath our flag.
