and Across New Jersey.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 1e.-william Jen- nings Bryan stepped upon the soil of the Empire state last night for the first time since his nomination for the presidency by she Democratic national convention at Chicago. It was an event both in his ca reer and In the general canvass for the presidency of no small moment It was practically step into the avowed section of opposition to his eandidaey-an opposi- tion not on party lines, but said ts exist within the party under whose emblem he looks for victory in November It was a step into the country of the capitalists, the banker, and the corporation nagnate If, however, the ordeal was one that would make nervous the average man, its effect upon Mir. Bryan was not, to the ols server, of that character. When Mir. Bryan step- ped from the train and grasred the hand of Senator Jones, chairman of the Demo cratic national committee, his greeting showed not one iota of nervousness or fear, but either tinge of bravery in facing the ordeal or gladness at being among those with whom he could discuss and ar- que the great issues of the campaign. The crowd that gathered at the Jersey City station of the Pennsylvania railroad to greet the Bry an party was net as largo as had been exT ected. A thousand people, Tn all, probably, paving their way to the ferryhouse in order to see the redoabtable orator from the west. But 1t was a crowd that made the 50 Jersey City policemen display every bit of their ability in subdu- ing and which was enthusiastic to the core. It was crowd that was quite as cosmopolitan in Its nature as 1t was evil dently Democratic in its proolivities and sympathies. The majority of the men stood with their coats off to relieve them selves of the terrific heat There was smattering Of women through the crowd, and some mothers brought their childron to look upon the face of possible president of the United States. Awaiting the ar rival of the train, the crowd amused itself by watching Chairman Jones, Vice Presi- dential Nominee Sewall, William P. St. John and National Committeeman Tom linson of Indiana eating & modest repast in the railroad restaurant A large major ity of the orow d had purchased ferry tick cts, entitling them to passage to New York cis- and 1t was evident from their actions afterwasd that they all expected to ride on the same boat with the Bryan party. Che anxious individual in luired of Sergnent- at-Arms Oliver of the Demo cratic national committee, Docs he go in a special boat:e"
 'Hc's a Democrat
 Mir. Oliver responded with a contempt that almost wirhered the qucs: toner, "No; he's a Democrat
 And so he is When Mrs Bryan alighted, Mir. Tomlinson tcok her in charge and hurried her atong the private i-assGgeway which the po.ioe had laid out for the party to Lass through. She was hardly noticed by the crowd and took the first boat out of the slip, while her husband and the remainder of the party followed behind the struggling police to a second boat To go distance of less than 100 feet 1t took the party some 15 minutes or moro. The police threatened with their batons and hustled and jostled people to clear passageway. The mob was good natured, but insisted and demanded in anything but dulcet tones that Mir. Bryan should speak. Ho smiled and shook his head in refusal, and then tie crowd called for Sewan Finally the police made way, and the party reached the boat. They went up stairs into the pilots cabin. while at least two thirds of the great crowd surged in upon the lower deck, and as the ferryboat piled its way to the Desbrosses street slip kept shouting their approval of the candidate and his principles. When the boat reached the dock In New York, Captain Cross. with a cordon of police, held the crowd aboard the boat for few minutes while MT. Bryan, Mir. Sewall and tine remainder of the party entered a carriage in waiting. When they got out side the ferry gates, they found at least 800 more people waiting. and, although the police made diligent efforts to allow the carriage to proceed, 1t was stopped sew oral times, the last time being when the horses annoyed or scared by the applause and shouting. baked Besides Mir. Bryan and Mir. Sewall, Chairman Jones and Mir. St. John occupied the carriage The na- tional chairman became a little frightened at the behavior of the horses and loft the carriage. The remainder of the party sat quietly until the animals were ready to proceed. At Mir. St. Johns house, on Thir- ty-fourth street, there was another gather Ing of citizens who applauded vociferous- ly. Neither Mir. nor Mrs Bryan showed much fatigue after their long journey.
 The Trip From Pittsburg.
 The demonstrations attending the jour- nsy of Can - ate Bryan and his party from Pittsburg to this city, through Penn sylyania and across New Jersey, were no less enthusiastic and extensive than those of the previous day, though fewer stops were made.
 nn6u lHe brhln TSAC0eu the large depot sheds, the adjacent platforms and streets anu the tops of the cars were filed with crowds densely packed. Mir. and Mrs. Bryan and Mir. Bland were up- on tho plaeorm of ono of the forward cars when the train swept past the depot, and the crowds broke at first for the rear car. Then 1t became known that he WAS for ward, and the people surged that way. Mir. Bryan shook hands with many of those who persisted in getting on the steps of the car. and later the ordeal was all gone over again. Mir. Bryan declined to speak, hut he put in his time handshaking, while the crowd oheered again and again at nothing In particular except Bryan. This was continued until the train left for tho east There were about 5, GOO in the crowd.
 At Philadelphia a large and enthusias- tio crowd succeeded In forcing its way through the Pennsylvania railroad gates when the train bearing William J. Bryan and his party rolled into the station.
 Both Mir. and Mrs. bryan appeared on the rear platform of their car and shook hands with all who could come within reach. No speeches were made. Several handsome bouquets of roses were present. ed to Mrs Bryan. A number of Philadcl- phia D. mocrats remained on the train and escorted Mir. Bryan and his party as far as Trenton. Several men who were delegates to the Chicago convention were included in the number. They all assured Mir. Bry- an of their active support. After stop of five minutes the train rolled out of Broad street station.
 There was no stop between Philadelphia and Trenton. where. crowd of about 100 gathered on the platform and oheered lustily as tho train came to n stop In the station. A great crowd WAS uray, ted
 from greeting the oantiidate by tke failure of the railroad officials 10 open the gate

 Mrs. Bryan shook hands with all who could get n,ar them in the limited time,
 and after stop of ono minute the train proctcdcd. Just as the train was pulling
