Bryan and party, including Mrs. Bry-
an and MIR. Sewall, left Mr.. Walkers
home tins morning shortly after 9
o'clock. At Mr.. Walkers request the
people of lrvington had refrained
from making any demonstration and
few people were at the depot. The
candidates, Mrs. Bryan, Mr.. Walker
and Mr.. Outright, Mr.. Bryan's private
secretary, took the train as far as
Yonkers and there took the day line
boat for Poughkeepsie. At Tonkers
there was no demonstration, but the
passengers on the boat cheered the
party as they went across the gang
plank.
PoUGHKEEPsIE, n. y, Aug. 1.-Two
thousand people gathered on the dock
at Newburg to see Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan. When the boat landed, flags
were waved and cheers were given
for the distinguished Ne braskan.
Just before the gang plank was
hauled in Mr.. Bryan appeared at the
lower gangway. hat in hand and
bowed and smiled his acknowledge
ments of the compliment paid him.
Many people came 10 Pougbkeepsie
from Newburg on the boat to get a
good look at the Democrats candidate.
Mr.. Sewall left the party and went to
New York, from where he will 70 to
Maine by steamer.
The captain put a state room at the
disposal Of the party and for half an
hour the 500 or AGO passengers on the
boat kept the presidential candidate
and his wife busy shaking hands. At
II o'clock Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan went
out Cd deck and enjoyed the view OF
the Hudson and the Highlands. e. E.
Olcot. of the Albany day line said
that the reason why the boat did
not stop for Mr.. Bryan at lrvlngton
was first because the name was mis-.
second because it was not possible be.
cause of the ebb tide and the strong
wind.
When Mr.. Bryan reached Pough.
keepsie about 400 people were at the
dock and followed him up the street
cheering and shouting for a speech.
When he reached the depot the crowd
became SO insisteut that Mr.. Bryan
yielded to their wishes and, standing
outside the station On a box, said:
II am up here far a rest and did not
expect to make speech, but | shall
probably see you again, and 1 will
take this opportunity to say a few
words to you. am very glad to see
you all. From the tone Of the New
York opposition press one would be
led to suppose hat there is no
silver sentiment in the state.
am glad to see here a REPUTATION
Of that fallacy and to notice that
even the great New York dailies
cannot stlfe the wishes Of the people.
This is a time when the thinking PEG.
pie are to outnumber the politicians
and the corporations and when the
people will act according to their own
judgment. 1t is to be the greatest
campaign that we young people have
ever seen and l believe it is a great
good sign when we can, as in this
campaign, forsee independence. We
are naturally an independent people,
and this is a time when that independ.
ence will be asserted. How many men
here are silver men?"
A number Of men raised their hands
and Mr.. Bryan said: Il want YOU to
study up this matter and see how
many silver men you can get for our
HOW are you Tor workIngmen?'
shouted a man in the crowd.
Mr.. Bryan hesitated a second and
held his index finger poised as he an
swered. "Will you take what I have
said and what I have done, consider
It carefully, and then judge between
. cause and that Of our opponents?
Candidates represent only the policies
of their parties, and it is therefore
not for me to tell you what is your
duty It is for .Yoa 20 study the issues,
and l am glad that you are doing that
and when you find out what your duty
is, do it,"
MI. and Mrs. Bryan left on the 1:5o
New York Central train for Tivoli,
where Mr.. Perrine will meet them.
