hapS never been such significant DEM
onstration for William ]. Bryan In. tho
east as that given tonight in Brooklyn
by the combined labor interests. It has
been a mooted question whether the la
boring people of the east would respond
to a call for a mass meeting in favor of
Mr.. Bryan, but there was no mistake
about the demonstration at the Clare
mont rink. The capacity of the building
was estimated at 5000 and every avail
able corner was filled with good natured
humanity, while thousands beseiged the
doors and were refused admission. It
was typical labor gathering and even
the women and children present were
filled with the enthusiasm Of the occa-
sion. 1t was also meeting far out of
the ordinary in its method of procedure.
Instead of the formal introduction, nom-
mating a presiding officer, clean cut
man with gray hair stepped to the front
of the platform shortly before o'clock
and said:
will the audience please take from
their seats the song that is there and
join in singing it," and they responded
so heartily that the refrain You shall
not press the crown of thorns upon the
toilers' brow" rang against the unpaint-
ed raftefs and re-echoed again and again
and when 1t was finished mighty cheer
