His Journey to the West.
Albany, Aug. 26.-Several thousand
people crowded closely together in
front of the city hall last night and
listened to William J. Bryan deliver
a political speech and although the re-
ception surpassed in attendance any
meeting which Mr.. Bryan has ad-
dressed in the east, it was secondary
in general interest to the dinner given
the democratic candidate by senator
David B. Hill earlier in the evening.
Exactly what was said at Senator
Hills residence or whether any agree
ments between the two leaders of the
democracy were made may never be
known, but general opinion naturally
ascribes to the bread breaking an inn
portant place in the present campaign.
How near Mr.. Bryan and the senator
came together politically through their
talk is something neither will tell.
The Buffalo convention, however, may
bring to light something about what
was done, but in the meanwhile the
public will be kept in ignorance on
the subject.
A Courteous Greeting.
Senator Hills guests, who were as
sembled at his beautiful home to greet
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan. were Judge and
Mrs. d. Cady Herrick, Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis w. Pratt, ex-senator Norton
Chase and Gen. and Mrs. Ferdinand p.
Earle of New York. Aside from the
bare announcement of the names of
the guests the senator declines to have
anything to say concerning the din
ner. 1t was stated, however, by some
of those present that Senator Hills
greeting to Mr.. Bryan when the latter
drove up in his carriag was calcu-
lated to put Mr.. Bryan entirely at his
ease, being very courteous and pleas
ant.
Ek Speaks at Albany.
The train on which Mr.. Bryan trav-
eled pulled into the Union station at
$685. A big crowd had gathered to see
the democratic nominee. They pushed
and crowded each other, and when
Mr.. Bryan appeared the crowd
cheered. The police forced passage
for the nominee and his wife. EX-
senator Norton Chase and Louis w.
Pratt, collector of internal revenue
for the district, met Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan at the train in behalf of Sena-
tor Hill, and after they had taken
their places in the carriage beside the
senator's guests the carriage whirled
away to Wolferts Roost, Senator Hills
suburban home. A reception commit

but he came fifteen minutes late. A
temporary stand, decorated with bunt-

gathering crowded about the stand an
hour before Mr.. Bryan made his ap-
pearance. A brass band stationed
on the platform gave the people
the first intimation that the young

and Mr.. Bryan, flushed with strug-
gle through throng of his supporters
came as though from a catapul
through the doorway leading to the
stand, closely followed by ex-senator
Chase and Collector Pratt. His ap
pearance was greeted with cheers.
There was more cheering as Mr.
Bryan stepped forward, and when il
had died away he ebegan his speech
This was not very long, and at its con
