New London to New York.

NEW YORK, Sept 2S-Candidate
Bryan's journey from New London to
New York was interesting chiefly by
his reception at New Haven, and his
public comment while there on the
trouble the Yale students gave him the
other day. AS if to show Mr.. Bryan
how many people in the old college
town disapproved of the annoyances
which he suffered at the hands of the
students, New Haven people gathered
in force at the railroad station to see
the presidential candidate. Several
thousand were present as the train
came to a stand still. The cheering
was hearty as he appeared and the
few remarks he made were roundly
applauded. Mr.. Bryan said:
II entered New England when 1 en-
tered Connecticut, and L will leave
New England when leave Connecticut
today My visit has been a very pleas
ant one, and l shall carry away with
me only agreeable recollections.'
There are no Yale students here to-
day, Mr.. Bryan called out somebody
in the crowd.
do not criticise the boys so harsh
ly," said Mr. Bryan. Il am not in
clined to criticise them as severely as
some others have. have been a col
lege boy myself, and l am inclined to
youthful exuberance than to any de-
liberate intention TO
INTERFERE WITH FREE SPEECH.
(Cheers.) 1 shall always be glad to
return to New Haven when circum-
stances will permit. and 1 am sure
that whatever may be my subject l
will be abe to find persons here who
are willing to listen, even If they do
not agree. Great applause) l am
glad to notice the growth of the silver
sentiment in New England.
The train remained at New Haven
five minutes only, and as it drew out
of the station an enthusiastic yell went
UP from the assemblage.
1t was $3.50 o'clock when Mr.. Bryan
reached Bridgeport twenty minutes
later. A good-sized crowd was there
and Mr.. Bryan was cheered.
More cheers came at Stamford,
where quite a throng had gathered.
Mr.. Bryan arrived at the hotel Bar
tholdi in this city at o'clock this af-
ternoon. A crowd of about 200 people
gathered about the hotel and cheered
the candidate heartily.
Concerning the suspicion that the
burning of the Burns Underwear fac
tory, at Worcester, Saturday night,
was due to revenge for the acton of
the proprietor in suspending the red
flag of anarchy with the picture of
William ]. Bryan on it, Mr. Bryan
made this statement to reporter for
the United Associated Presses this
evening:
There is nothing I care to say ON
the subject. I don't believe that any
advocate of free silver would do harm
to Mr.. Burns or to his property. While
Mr.. Burns action last Friday was not
very courteous, 1 paid no attention 20
it. He had a right to decorate his
building as Re pleased. even though
the decorations might be offensive to
his political opponents. and his neigh
bors have a right to criticise his actions
if they see fit to do So But f anyone
has attempted to injure him or his
property. such person ought to be pun
ished like any other violator Of the
law. No political reason can excuse an
attack on person or property Our
campaign is a, campaign of education,
and no true friend of the cause viii
attempt to violate the law, no matter
how batterly the gold standard men may
T assail us or our principles.
Mr.. Bryan remained at the Bartholdi
/ less than an hour. Shortly before
O'Clock he started for New Jersey.
