| tram was q regular and was scheduled to stop, the railroad company could not grant the request. It did the next best thing, however, and kept the platform clear of all but couple of hundred people, who in some way got through the gates. The train stopped only two minutes at Trenton, .but in this MT. Bryan shook hands from the platform with all those in waiting.
 New York; Aug. 1.-The train bear ing MT. Bryan to New York stopped for half 8 minute this evening at Eliz- abeth, N. J., where a small crowd lus- tily cheered the candidate. When New ark was reached big crowd rushed to l ward the train, cheering like mad. A thousand or more pressed into the en- closure between the train and the guard rail. Those behind pushed and showed until those in front broke into a run out of sheer self protection and on rapid trot men and boys, ten deep, went past the platform where MT. Bry- an was standing, making vain endeav- ors in the quick progress to grasp his hand. The cheering of those in this unchecked human stream and of the thousands in quieter positions was con- tinuous. MT. Bryan kept both hands working constantly. Sky-rockets ana Roman candies were fired, and red lights were burned and altogether the scene was one of the widest enthuiasn.
 MT. Bryan reached Jersey City at S:l0 and from there was driven to the resi- dence of William P. St. John. No. 12l East Thirty fourth street, in this city
 Although MT. Bryan had expressly requested that there should be no pub- lie demonstration from bands or march, ing clubs, he was received by a large and enthusiastic crowd, both at Jersey l City and on the New York side. Long before the hour at which the train was scheduled to arrive the station was crowded with persons anxious to catch a glimpse of the apostle of free silver. Sixty police took charge of the crowd and were busy in keeping them from | crowding against the gates. AS It was, many climbed on the gates and cheered for ryan. The coming of the. candl- | date was also awaited by reception committee consisting of Senator Jones, Treasurer St. John, J. T. Tomlinson, I committeeman from Alabama, and Ar thur Sewall, candidate for vice presi- dent. Jimmy Oliver, sergeant -at-arms | of the democratic national committee. was also in waiting.
 l At S:10 D. m. the headlight of the en- I zine of Bryan's train was sighted, and amid cries of Here he comes!' Lock out for Bryan!" the train rolled into l the station Contrary to general ex- pectation, the Bryan party were in the I first car and not in the rear, which was l drawing-co room car. As soon as the l train had come to full stop Mr Rry- an, Mrs. Bryan, MT. and Mrs. k. r. l Bland Mir. and Mrs. James Kerr of Clearfield, Pa, John A. Creighton, member of the notification conimitte. {. from Nebraska. I. s. Malone, J. T.. Snyder of Ciearda1d, Pa, J. P. War man, John Garnan, H. " Dively and | Clarence J. Gallagher, a personal friend of MT Bryan, alighted
 MT. sewall and the other members of the reception committee rushed for 1 ward and in turn shook hands with Mir. and Mrs. Bryan. The entire party stepped on to freight elevator at the | end of the rack on which the train en- tered the station and were lowered to the ground floor. While the Bryan party were standing on the freight ele- vator platform the crowd cheered and shouted itself hoarse, and many climb ed up to the very top of the high rail- | ing separating the station platform from the tracks
 The crowd expected to see MT. Bryan and his party pass through the gates and through the station, but in this 1t was disappointed and howl of dis | c.f "a elevator went down and the nominee and party dis appeared.
 The crowd soon discovered what had happened and rush was made for the floor below The crowd from upstairs pouring down upon the large crowd | that had congregated on the ground floor created something like a riot and the police became demoralized and rushed first one way and then another with drawn clubs. As the Bryan party stepped from the elevator they were completely hemmed in by the eager shouting crowd and could not move in any direction. Hundreds of excited men pushed and showed and shouted for Bryan and cried speech, speech, 1 speech"
 Finally path was made through the crowd and at S:25 MT. Bryan and his friends boarded the ferryboat Hudson City. During the passage over the river MT. Bryan was cheered, but aside from lowing and saying thank you. my friends" did not speak.
 Before the ferryboat 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 the New York side was as nearly perfect as could be. A line was opened through the crowd and MT. and Mrs. Bryan, accompanied by Mir. Bland, Senator Jones and MT. Sewall, passed through the shouting throng of persons to car- riages which were in waiting and were driven to MT. St. Johns house, where | they arrived at 9:25, and were again met by an immense crowd there who | cheered and shouted until MT. Bryan and his party disappeared behind the | closed doors.
 1 The reporters were invited to meet Mir. Bryan at 10 o'clock Half an hour | later MT St. John received them in | the dining room of his house and gave out for publication this statement: Neither Mir. Bryan nor Mrs. Bryan nor Mir. Sewall will receive at all dur ! ing pWdneSdav MT Rrvan x.yiIJ eraolr
