BRYAN REACHES RICHMOND. VA.
In Speech at Goldsboro He Defends the
llcOme Tar.

Richmond, Sept. 19.-William j. Bry-
an reached here yesterday from Colds
bore, y. c., and addressed an immense
audience in the capital of the Old
Dominion. Before leaving Goldsboro he
made a speech, the feature of which
was defense of the income tax. of
which he said: In my Judgment the
income tax is just. 1t is not war on prop
erty. but il is a demand that those who
have property and who demand the
protection OF that property by federal
laws should De willing to support the
government to which they look for
that protection and not seek to use
the instrunl.Etalities of government for
their OWN benefit and then throw the

Sewall Declares That Under No Circum
stances Will He Retire.

New York, Sept. 49, A dispatch to
The World from Bath, Me-, says: Mr.
Sewall, the Democratic candidate for
vice president, last night answered the
cry which has gone up all over the
country for his retirement from the free
silver ticket: There is absolutely moth
ing in this talk about my withdrawal
The thing is absurd. / shall not retire
under any circumstances. AS for the
statement that Senator German or any
of the Democratic managers desire me
to retire, or that the party leaders are
bringing influence to bear on me for
that purpose, it is pure falsehood. On
the contrary, all the pressure ON me
has been the other way"
But. Mr. Sewall, you must see that
with fusions between the Democrats
and Populists in SO many states there
is prospect that even should Mr..
Bryan be elected there would be enough
Populists in the electoral college to
throw the choice of the vice president
into the senate"
Il know it," he answered slowly. II
clearly see that Mr.. Bryan may he
elected and that l may not be. But I
am thinking more of free silver than
Sewall. \ change now in the ticket is
out of the question:

a fraction of the crowd, ard when in
response to bugle calls they assembled
at points assigned there was scarcely
any appreciable diminution in the

Some of the organizations left on
the early evening trains. but many 9TH

in size and general appearance of the
parade at night it was a reproduction
of the one in the afternoon. There
We're a score or more of bands in line
and the number of uniformed organiza-

streets brightly illuminated with
Japanese lanterns. transparencies and
colOred fires and pyrOtechnics. The
tent, large as it is, fell far short of
the demands made upon IL during the
evening speaking. Besides this a crowd
never less than 5000 and often double
that size surSed around the McKin-
ley home from early in the forenoon
till late at night.
Major Mckinley rode in a carriage with
some of the speakers during the first

En- route here Bryan addressed large
crowds at Rocky Mount and Wilson, n.
c., and enthusiastic gatherings of vari-
Gus sizes at number OF stations. At
Rocky Mount he was escorted by a
procession headed by a band to the fair
grounds, where he made his speech.
Rryan's reception at the Auditorium
in Richmond last night was one of
the mcst-if not the nost-enthusiastic
receptions of his campaign. The Au-
ditorium was packed to the doors from
floor to gallery when the Democratic
nominee arrived there at S:i5. Some
other meetings have been greater in
point of attendance, but Richmond
must be given the banner for the
amount of enthusiasm expressed. Ten
minutes elapsed before the cheering
that followed organs entrance ceased.
and there was another outburst when
he was presented by Senator Daniel
There was much disorder during Bry,
ans delivery, but he managed to make
! himself heard to nearly everybody.
On the conclusion of the Auditorium
speech he addressed a great throng
from the balcony of the jefferson no.

here was short and on the general lines
pursued by him in his other speeches.
Other speeches made during the day
