paign. I am glad to be permitted to talk
to mother, wife and sister, because their
interests are wrapped UP In the interests
Of the country. No policy can injure
this country without injuring them. No
policy can benefit this country without
beneflting them, and in any case, where
a question of wrong or right Is present.
ed, believe our wives and mothers are
quick to detect what is just and what
is unjust. And know this, that if wo-
mans conscience Is once directed
against a thing, there is nothing that
can overcome that conscience. (Great
applause.) If in this campaign we can
convince woman that justice is on our
side. I know that in every household
there will be wife or mother who will
say to the father Of that family, 'Coer-
cion cannot be permitted to interfere
with the exercise Of the rights of citi-
zenship.' (Cries of You're rightly If
we can convince woman of the justice
of our cause, there is no campaign fund

tween disturbance, law and order, be-
tween objection to government itself

The crush exceeded even that Of the
monday meeting. Painting women were
| carried from the hall every few min
utes. For two hours before Mr.. Bryan
arrived it was impossible to gain admis-
sion and thousands gathered on the lake
| front in the hope of participating in an
open air meeting, but this was impossi-
BILE owing to Mr.. Bryans many engage
ments. The nominees appearance upon
! the stage was greeted with a mighty
! shout of applause. Hundreds of ladies
in the audience had small American
| flags. and as they cheered they waved
| the flags in unison.
| Just as Mr.. Bryan was about to begin
his address he noticed large number
of men in the windows. on the roof of
the building, and fearing danger he de-
clined to proceed till the roof was clear
| ed. His speech was on lines made IA
miliar by him on previous occasions and
| was in the main a general discussion Of
| the financial issues. Mr.. Bryan's other
| speeches before midnight were at st.
Stanislaus' hail. Noble street; Transit
house, Union Stock yards; st. Paul's
school, Ambrose street and Hoyne av-
enue; Novtny hall. Twenty-second
street and Troy avenue; Bohemian

Harrison and Loomis streets, and Peo-

streets.
William J. Bryan will leave Chicago
at 7:45 tomorrow morning over the
Northwestern railway for days tour

THE EGG THROwERS.
| CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-Chauncey Fos-
ter and L. ]. Hanchett, two Of the four
students of the Metropolitan business
college, accused of having thrown eggs
| at Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan during the pa
rade yesterday past the college, were
| arrested by Detectives McCaffrey and
Fay. They are sons of well-to-d do South
Side families. They confessed to Chief
| Of Police Badenoc that they had thrown
| the eggs.
Thomas Gahan, chairman Of the Dem
! ocratic county central committee, has
! received the following letter from Mr..
| Bryan regarding the matter
| Dear Mr.. Gahan-I wish you would
ask for the release of the boys arrested
| for throwing eggs. I am sure it was an
act of thoughtlessness and their arrest
has doubtless been sufficient lesson to
| them and others. Yours truly,
w. ]. BRYAN.
Whether the young men will be pros
| ecuted or not the chief refuses to say.
| At all events the act of Bryan has Sc
cured the votes of the parents of the
! boys.
| Late In the afternoon the chief Of po-
| lice was compelled to release the two
young prisoners, as. after Mr.. Bryan
| had written his letter asking for their
! release it was evident that there would
be no prosecution if the prisoners were
arraigned. Before the prisoners had
| been released word was received from
both of their families, saying that the
law could take its course. as no part in
the defense would be taken by any of
| their relatives.
A MUNIFICENT GIFT.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-W. M. Hoyt Of the
| firm OF W. M. Hoyt & Co., importers and
Wholesale grocers, presented to Mr.
Bryan today house and two lots in
Lincoln, Neb., in lieu of a cash contribu-
tion to the campaign fund. In his letter
Mr.. Hoyt scored the gold standard and
declared that although he is rich in real
estate, he is poor in cash.
Mr.. Bryan turned the deed over to
| Chairman Jones, who will sell it and put
| the proceeds into the Democratic cam
paign fund. The property is worth about
| $4,000.
