New York, Aug. 11.-No meeting of the
committee that is to notify Bryan and
Sewall that they were nominated at Chi
cago was held today. 1t was decided to
postpone the meeting until IL o'clock to-
morrow on account of the absence of
some of its members.

of notification would be very brief and
formal The governor said that he would
do all he could to elect Bryan.
OF the campaign in the west the gov
ernor said: "Our opponents talk of the
silver movement as a wave and "a craze,
but in the west 1t has passed beyond the
effervescent period. If there was ever a
great popular uprising of the people 1t is
this silver movement"
Chairman White of the committee to
notify Mr.. Bryan cannot be present, and
Governor Stone will be elected to take his
nlace.

amid cries of "here he comes," "look
out for Bryan" the train bearing Mr..
Bryan rolled into the station. Contrary
to the general expectations the Bryan
party were in the first car, and not in
the rear one, which was drawing room
car. AS soon as the train had come to a
full stop Mr.. Bryan, Mrs. Bryan, Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard p. Bland, Mr.. and Mrs.
James Kerr of Clearfield, Pa, John A.
Creighton, member of the notification
committee from Nebraska; ]. S. Malone,
j. I. Snyder of Clearfield, Pa, John d.
Warman, John Garman, H. ". Divaly
and Clarence ]. Gallagher alighted. Mr..
Sewall and the other members of the re-
ception committee rushed forward and in
turn shook hands with Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan. The entire party stepped onto
freight elevator at the east end of track
4, on which track the train entered the
station, and were at once lowered to the
ground heof. While the Bryan party were
standing on the freight elevator platform
the crowd cheered and shouted itself
hoarse, and many climbed up to the very
top of the high railing separating the
station platform from the tracks.
The crowd expected to see Mr.. Bryan
and his party pass through the gate and
through the station, but in this 1t was
disappointed, and howl of dismay went
up when the elevator was lowered and
Bryan and his party disappeared as
though by magic. 1t did not take long
for the crowd to discover what had hap
pened and a rush was made for the floor
below. The crowds from upstairs pour
ed down upon the large crowd that had
congregated on the ground floor and Gre
ated something like a riot, and the Jer-
sey City police. who had already lost
control of the crowd became demoralized
and rushed first one way and then an
other with drawn clubs. AS the Bryan
party stepped from the elevator they
We're SO completely hemmed in by the
eager shouting crowd that they could
not move in any direction. While they
were waiting for the police to come to
their rescue the hundreds of excited
men pushed and showed and shouted for
Bryan and cried speech, speech"
Finally a pathway was made through
the crowd, and at 1925 o'clock Mr.. Bryan
and his friends boarded the ferry boat
Hudson City. During the passage over
the river Mr.. Bryan was cheered, but
aside from bowling and saying THANK
you, my friends" did not speak.
Before the ferry boat had reached the
New York side the large crowd on the
DOCK taking up the cheers of those on
the Hudson City, shouted and cheered for
Bryan.
The police management on that side
was as nearly perfect as could be expect
ed. A line was opened through the crowd
and Mr.. Bryan, accompanied by Mr..
Bland, Senator Jones and Mr.. Sewall,
passed through the shouting throng of
persons to carriages which were in wait
ing, and were driven to Mr.. st. Johns
house, where they arrived at 9:25, and
were again met by an immense crowd
there, who cheered and shouted until Mr..
Bryan and his party disappeared behind
the closed doors.

Arrived in New York.

New York, Aug. 11.--Candidate William
j. Bryan arrived in this city tonight. He
reached Jersey City over the Pennsylva-
mia railroad at $40 o'clock and was driv-
en- to the residence Of William p. st.
John, 121 East Thirtyfourth street,
where he and Mrs. Bryan passed the
night. Although Mr.. Bryan had ex-
pressly requested that there should be
no public demonstration from bands or
marching clubs. he was received by a
large and enthusiastic crowd both at
Jersey City and on the New York side.
Long before the hour at which the train
was scheduled to arrive the Pennsylva-
MIA station was crowded with persons
anxious to catch a glimpse OF the apostle
of free silver. Sixty police under the
command of Inspector Lange and Cap
tain Farrier took charge of the crowd
and were busy in keeping them from
crowding against the gates. AS 1t was
many of them climbed on the gates and
cheered for Bryan. The coming of the

Came Near Being Left.

Johnstown, Pa, Aug. 11-If Candidate
Bryan had not moved lively this MORN
ing his arrival in New York would have
been delayed beyond the time fixed, and
the people who had arranged demon
strations along the route would have
been disappointed Bryan is not travel
ing by special train, and must be on time
at stations like any other passenger. He
reached the union station in JohnStoWn
this morning at 7:30 o'clock, just in time
to catch the Pennsylvania train which
left for New York at that hour. The
hard work of yesterday and last night
had fatigued him SO much that he over
slept himself. The conductor of the
train was crying "All aboard" when Mr..
and Mrs. Bryan and some others with
them came down the station platform. A
knot of Johnstown democrats were at the
union station to see Bryan off, and they
cheered him with will as the train moved
out.
James Kerr of Clearfield, Pa. ex-con-
gresham and clerk of the house of rep
resentatives. who will probably manage
the Bryan campaign in Nebraska, had
chartered a sleeper attached to the train,
and turned this over to Mr.. Bryan and
some of his friends. Among those on the
car in addition to Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan,
were Mr. and Mrs. Kerr, J. T. Snyder of
Clearfield; Maj. John D. Warman, secre-
tary of the democratic clubs of Pennsyl-
vania. who will accompany the candidate
TO New York; Colonel Spangler or Bell
fonte and John Garman of Wilkesbarre.
H. v. Dlvaly and the reception committee
from Altoona were also on the train.
The first stop of the train, Greensburg,
was reached at $3.50 o'clock. Cheers from
the station platform announced to Mr..
Bryan that he did not lack supporters
there The democratic club of the town,
stepping to the music of a drum corps,
marched to the rear of the train and sew
eral hundred other spectators also gath
cred around. There was more cheering
as Bryan appeared, and the few moments
the train remained at the station were
spent in handshaking.
Bryan's voice is in very bad condition,
Yesterdays speech making ordeal caused
hoarseness, and he will have to be care
full to keep 1t in good condition for his
New York speech.
AT Latrobe, which was reached at S:45,
a crowd OF about $50 assembled, and the
cheering and handshaking were repeated.

Congressman Kerr presented. Mr.. Bryan
and Mr. Bland, both of whom were loudly
cheered. Neither spoke, but Bryan shook
