UPPER RED HOOK, N. J., Aug. II.
William J. Bryan's itinerary after he
has rested, has been practically ar
ranged. He will go from here to Buff
falo, from Buffalo to Erie, from Erie
to Cleveland, speaking at each place.
From Cleveland he will go direct to
Lincoln and when he leaves there he
will go to the South, the itinerary Of
that trip not as yet being arranged,
but including speeches in Kentucky,
Florida, Missouri and Maryland, and
then he will come East again about
the last week in September He will
speak in Brooklyn and then go to New
England Upon his return from New
England he will speak in New York
city.
Mr.. Bryan said tonight: "Mr. Cock
ran and | discussed both the silver
question and the income tax while in
congress. If he advances any new ar
guments they can go to the country
along with my speech of last week
shall not return to New York until
the latter part of September, when L
expect to speak briefly in Brooklyn
on my way to New England and in
New York on my return from New
England
Mr.. Bryan said, in regard to the al
legged statement by Senator Thurston.
in his letter to Senator Stewart. that
Mr. Bryan had been charged with be-
ing in the pay of silver mine owners:
The statement has been denied be-
fore and at the proper time, a more
specific denial will be made"
Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Bryan in any
way disguised their motives when they
announced they We're coming here to
rest. That is absolutely all there is TO
do. If Washington Irving had written
of this place he would have, in com
parison with his famed Sleepy Hollow
of today, named it ''Sleepiest Hollow. y

house of unpretentious proportions
Mr.. Bryan looks out on a few dozen
frame houses. a village store and a
not very prosperous hotel. But he also
looks out upon a beautiful country
and, as he expressed it tonight, "a
scene that, in itself, made a weary
man feel rested"

ton tonight but as E. C. Perrine. the
village StOrekeeper, whose wife is Mrs
Rryan's old friend, and at whose home
Mr.. and Mrs Bryan are stopping, re-
marked, it was merely a social event.

party. There was little or no demon
stration in the village when Mr. and
Bryan arrived after a Six-mile drive
from the station, and until this even

by the villagers to see the candidate

The j. Watts de Peyster gun squad of
Madalin in uniform, paraded for the
occasion and there was quite a deal
of enthusiasm. Mr.. Bryan was intro
dueed to the people by Jacob Eiseffor,
of Red Hook. in a few remarks indi-
eating that the affair was of a good
natured social quality. Mr.. Bryan said:
Speaking for Mrs. Bryan, as well as for
myself, | desire to thank the gentleman who
has SO graeiously extended the welcome, and
the people who, by their presence support

here upon this occasion and renew an old
time acquaintance with one of your esteemed
citizens. We are glad, too. to find our rest
IN this quiet place, among the people who
exemplify the truth spoken by the wise man so
many hundred years ago. When Solomon
said that he desired neither riches nor
poverty he gave expression to thought
which we may we'll consider. In such COM
munity we find equality and fraternity and
we find people bound together in friend

and uplifting. We are glad to rest here for
a few days from the weariness of the CAM

who live among these mountains where you
can take broader view of these earthly
scenes. are also as citizens able to rise above
partisanship and take a broad view of our
political life: that you are as Republicans as
well as Democrats; that you. the members
of all parties lay aside for the moment
all political thoughts and gather without

have always lived among those who diff
fered from me and at all times I have
found found some OF my best friends among
upon public questions. am glad
too, that you recognize that higher
plane OF citizenship on which each citizen,
while firmly standing by that in which he
believes, and courageously upholding the
cause which he espouses, can at the same
time extend to all others that charity which
struggle on with intense earnestness in carry
ing forward those policies which we believe
are OF vital Importance, can still, like
brethren, stand side by side without feeling
that there is in these contests anything which

thank you for your gathering and for this

Mr.. Bryan tonight made reference to
several errors that appeared in the
printed copy of the Madison Square
speech. Near the beginning of the
speech the word property should be
made poverty" so that the quotation
from Lincoln will read mo men living
are more worthy to be trusted than
those who toll up from poverty Near
the end Of the paragraph beginning
1T cannot be successfully claimed"
the word mot should be inserted. SO
that the sentence will read: 'aThe in
fuence of this nation must not be
thrown on the side of gold" Near the
end of the speech in the sentence be-
ginning: ''The people of the United
States would be injured by charge in
the ratio" should read "change" in
stead of charge" In the speech as
given out through the newspapers the
paragraph beginning: 'In answer to
the charge that gold will go abroad
was misplaced by the printer. That
paragraph should have preceded the
paragraph beginning Our opponents
cannot prove the fact that gold is going
abroad"
