UPPER RED HOOK, Aug. o, 1885,
William Jennings Bryan this afternoon
will begin his fight to convince the people
Of New York that debased currency
would be blessing to the land, that 1t is
a thing to be worked for, prayed for and
hoped for. He speaks at Tivoli. Dutch
ess county, large village on the banks
of the Hudson, and about five miles from
this place There the free silverites of
Dutchess and the adjoining counties will
gather to hear him, and there. too, viii
gather perhaps a greater number of Re-
publicans and Democrats drawn, thither
by curiosity and a desire to see the
strange man from the West who shakes
hands without number and writes count
less autographs. not from desire for
votes, but out Of the pure goodness of his
heart.
A large attendance has been prepared
for. The meeting viii be held on the
Tivoli baseball grounds, and the Boy
Orator will hurl forth his anathemas
against the gold bugs from the catcher's
box. F. A. Ross, the leading silver man
of the town, has arranged for the meet
ing. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan WEI leave this
village at two O'Clock, and will be met at
the outskirts of Tivoh by the citizens
band of Red Hook, a splendid aggregation
of musical talent by a committee of
twelve prominent local sflverites of
which Mr. Ross is the head and by a COM
mittee Of twenty women generated by
Mrs. Ross
The men will take charge of the Boy
orator. and women of his wife. After
the committees have given to the visitors
the freedom of the city of Tivoli, the
party, preceded by the band, will go to
the baseball ground Senator Stewart of
Nevada will be there waiting.
The meeting begins at three o'clock
Frank S. Ornsbee will preside. He viii
open the proceedings with speech and
will then introduce Senator Stewart.
The veteran silver agitator and silver
mine owner will then address the crowd
on his only topic, "1he Crime of 1873. +
which he helped to commit. The Senator
has been talking about the crime" ever
since he made a speech in the Senate in
favor of committing 1t. None of his
speeches are extant in which it is not
mentioned and so the people Of DutcheSs
are prepared to hear another elaborate
discourse on it today When the last peal
of Senatorial thunder has died away in
the distant Catskills, which will happen,
it is thought, about two hours after he
begins to storm, the Boy Orator of the
Platte will be present
Mr. Bryan will deliver one of his extern
poraneous speeches which has been pre-
pared before hand. He thought over 1t
and worked over It yesterday, and made
copious notes. This morning he an
nouneed that he would speak s'extempor-
aneously."
The talk of the town this morning was
the mysterious visit of H Clay Sulzer,
New York's leading bimetallist, to the
PopocEatic candidate last night. Captain
Mart Lasher and customers have been
discussing it ceaselessly. They cannot
understand its import. The eminent BIZ
metallst drove into Upper Red Hook
just after dark in company with Prof.
Van Buren Denslow, a writer on free
silver. Just as he alighted from the car
riage at the Perrine door, Mr.. Bryan re-
turned from an afternoons fishing. He
was hungry for his supper, but with
stood the awful pangs and greeted the
eminent bimetallist as pleasantly as pos
sible, but while his voice was firm and
his handshake hearty, his face was like
that of man who is being killed by
electricity for the first time.

Syracuse at midnight instead of at two
o'clock on Wednesday morning as pre-
