tholdi here this afternoon. He was ac-
companied by committee from Tam
many Hall, who had gone to Bridge
port, Conn, to meet him. About 200
persons cheered him at the hotel en-
trance and he tipped his hat and
smiled in recognition. Mr.. Bryan was
evidently nursing his throat, as his
collar was turned UP tightly. He went
direct to his room, and there, later,
dinner was served.s
Mr.. Bryan's attention was TODAY
called to the burning of the Burns
factory at Worcester, Mass, and to
the suggestion contained in dispatches
that the building may have been set
on fire by some one who felt indignant
at the action of Mr.. Burns last Fri
day in permitting the hanging out of
red flag with Mr.. Bryan's picture
on it. Mr.. Bryan said:
There is nothing that l care to say
on the subject. 1 do not believe that
any advocate of free silver would do
harm to Mr.. Burns or to his property
While Mr.. Burns action on Friday
was not very courteous, I paid no at
tentlon to 1t. He had q right to dec
crate his building as he chose, even
though the decorations might be Of
fensfve to his political opponents, and
his neighbors have a right to eriti-
else his actions If they see fit to do
so. But. if any one has attempted to
injure him or his property, such per-
son ought to be punished like any
other violator of the law No political
reason can excuse an attack on person

paign of education, and no true friend
of the cause will attempt to violate the
law, no matter how bitter the gold
standard may assaip us or our princi-

Arthur sewan, Vice presidential can
didate on the Democratic ticket, ar

while before Mr.. Bryan reached the
city. He parted company with Mr.
Bryan at New London, Conn., 'T am

states will rebound to the good of our
ticket. I never witnessed such en-

evoked by Mr.. Bryan's appearance.
wherever he went. The other side may
say what they choose, but 1 know that
the silver sentiment is growing strong
er in the Eastern states every day OF
course. we don't hope to carry Maine,
nor will we make any special effort,
but I don't think that the recent state
election is any criterion as to how
things will go in November"
Mr.. Sewall will stay in town for sew
era1 days at least, and will speak at
the Tammany ratification tomorrow
night. He will go West from this city
to attend the convention of the ma
tional Democratic clubs which meets
in ST. Louis Oct. s..
Mr.. Bryan bid farewell to Connect
cut at New London at noon today,
although he added few words at New
Haven, the last stop in the Nutmeg
state. At New London, Mr.. Bryan
fornd questioners, and for some time
carried on a dialogue with an elderly
gentleman near the speakers stand
The police were inclined to interfere
at first, but Mr.. Bryan begged them to
ret the interrogator go on with his
questions, as he would be glad to reply
to them.
Mr. Bryan had proceeded with his
argument in behalf of free coinage,
during which he had been frequently
applauded when man asked: Where
will we he when we get free siIver?"

Mr.. Bryan-TeH me- why
The Voice-Becausej I, believe it Is best for
the country. Every nation will accept gold
dollar for dollar.
M Bryan~Why? I win tell you. Be-
cause of it's value; the reason why our gold
dollar and our bullion are worth the same
is because the law says that you can con-
he hlf ion iVfrr hall ~ xs-&k
The Foice-Well, how about silver.
Mr.. Bryan-When the laws are so, under
the free coinage of silver the holder of sill
yer bullion can convert his silver into dol
lars at the mint that will fix a mint price
Of silver, we have mint price for gold
now. and our silver dollars will be worth as
much abroad as our gold dollars.
A Voice-People here have the impression
that when the free coinage of silver is brought
into erect they can take their silver teapots
in and coin them into money
Mr.. Bryant is true that under free coin
age any man can melt up a dollar and half
worth or spoons and have the silver coined
INTO one dollar and twenty-nfne cents. If you
nave man who is fool enough to do it. Now
why will people refuse to melt UP their Sill
yer plates? Because it will be worth more
as silver plate than 1t will be worth as sill
yer dollars under free coinage.
Mr. BRYAN proceeded with his argument
ana added: l assert that the business man
depends for success upon the farmer and the
labor ng man. If the people cannot buy goods
the merchants cannot sell goods, and peopIe
cannot buy goods until they have money to
buy goods with.
Voiee-Start up the mills
Mr.. Bryan-Suppose you start I'D the mills.
now are you going to dispose Of the things
which the mills produce unless the people
can buy the produce of our mills?
Voice-Would it not be as hard TO change
tne standard Of money in the world as If
would be to change the standard of weights
and measures in the world?
Mr.. Bryant will answer that ouastion
by saying that, In the first place the World
mas no standard of weights and measures
we nave been unable to bring the nations OF
me worla 70 agree to a standard of weights
