Patterson. Y. J., Sept. 2s.-NIr. Bryan
came here from New York tonight and
addressed two of the largest meetings
of his Eastern tour. He came over on
"a suburban train, loaded with commu-

The crowd here was so great that the
police had to fight hercely to make a

stand had been erected on Colts Hill,
the site of the new post Office, an open
space covering an area of several
square blocks. The crowds packed into
this space was tremendous. and when
the candidate appeared there was a
great outburst of applause, fireworks
shot into the air, a company of local
militia doomed their cannon and red
lights blazed on the front parts of the
bill. With great effort Mr.. Bryan final
ly reached-AAe stand, but just as he was
about to begin his address, the electric
lights suddenly went out, and the vast
throng was plunged into darkness.
Great excitement prevailed for time.
Mr.. Bryan repeated in substance his
previous speeches on the financial is
sue, calling attention to what he term
ed the ambiguity of the Republican
platform and adding:
I'VE are not seeking success under
false colOrs, nor are we attempting to
use ambiguous phrases in order to
mislead the people. ] say to you now
that my election means that this ma
tion shall open its mints TO the free
coinage of both metals at the earliest
possible moment. But not only that,
my election means that this nation shall
treat the silver dollar just as it treats
the gold dollar and we shall not issue
bonds to buy gold in order to furnish
an opportunity for those who want
bonds to draw upon the gold and in
crease the debts of the government.
"If we had taken a milder course, il
we had adopted a platform which was
meaningless and capable of double
construction, we might have possibly
the support of those who do not agree
with us in this position, but my friends
when we took a decided stand foI
those policies which we believed were
best for the American people, we ar
rayed against us the great influences
which surround wealth. ana especially

that the heads. of all the trusts in the

to Caledonia Hall. where the second
speech was delivered. The Hall is a
vast structure, having a capacity of ten
thousand, and every nook and corner
was iammed with a mass of humanity.
1t was nearly 9 o'clock when Mr.. Bryan
arrived, and he began his speech amid
thunders of applause.

tions; but even the most enigmatic sign
does not excuse such rudeness as q GER
tain American traveller In Europe Is
said to have once perpetrated. The
story, quoted in the Washington Post,
is thus told by Minnesota politician:
I was travelling through England and
Ireland on foot with knapsack on my
back, and in company with facetious
friend of mine named Morrison, and in
our wanderings we came to an inn. 1t
was late at night, but by the bright
moonlight we were able to see that the
sign bore counterfeit presentment OF
two asses heads, with this not unfa-
miliar legend over the picture:
When shall we three meet again?
We stood for moment gazing at il.
Then Morrison went to the inner door
and began humping upon 1t with his
cane, while the echoes rang through
the house. / was just going to expos
tulate with him over his unseemly
conduct when an upper window was
thrown open, and the innkeeper thrust
out his head, and in az indignant tone
demanded what in the name of all the
demons we wanted.
That's all right, old man. Don't get
excited" called up my friend In the
most afrable voice. There are only
two asses heads on the sign, and just
wanted to see the other one"
And with that we started up the road.

long. The culture Of these grasses and
their preparation for the market form
a considerable industry. Florists are
thoroughly conversant with the valu-
able commercial qualities OF pampas
grass. and most of the purveyors Of
flowers deal In 1t quite extensively.
The demand for pampas grass as an In.
terror decoration Is on the increase ev-
cry year. The grasses are dried and
colored for the market, and all that Is
left for the florists to do Is their ar
rangements in making appropriate
combinations. The great beauty Of
pampas grass IS thought to reside In
the plumes, or feathers, as they are
sometimes called. These are abundant
and fluffy, and fall In graceful stream
ers around the stems. The natural col

rarely reaches the retailer in that guise.
Mark Hanna has spoken for red, white
and blue pampas grass, and red, white.
and blue are likely to be the staple col
ors until election day.
