He crossed the river from New York

There were inside the ferry gates at the
time the boat entered the slip about 300
people, including women and children,
bootblacks, regular passengers and many
railroad employees. who left their offices
to get a look at the candidate
Inspector of Police Lange had on hand
to receive Mr.. Bryan five mounted police
men.
There he isl yelled the crowd. as a

"Oh, Lord, no." answered a dozen or
more Bryanites. when 1t was found that
the supposed candidates carriage re-
solved itself into a hearse.
Directly behind the hearse, however
was a carriage, and it contained Mr..

They forced back the crowd
for the candidates carriage
As it passed out a faint cheer was given
ana few enthusiasts tossed their hats in
the air The reception was not what
could honestly be called an enthusiastic
one. The driver of the Bryan carriage
whipped UP mis- horses and almost on a
fUn they dashed through the ferry house
The mounted policemen surrounded the
carriage, practically shutting Mr.. Bryan
from view. He was seen by many, how
ever. In response to the cheer he raised
his hat and bowed. So did Senator VIII
liam D. DAILY, whose smiling face and
white fedora were very conspicuous Out
in Exchange place there were perhaps two
hundred curious people gathered. Some
cheered as the carriage passed
but majority remained silent. The car
rage was hurried up Exchange Place
and into Montgomery street so quickly
that Mr.. Bryan was gone before the
crowd seemed to realize it. Once
out Of sight the gathering broke
UP and it was noticeable

the sidewalks continued on their way Ia

BREEZE ABOUT A BANNER.

There was quite lively fracas at the
corner Of Hudson and Newark streets,
Hobolzen. this morning at eleven o'clock
over an attempted banner raising against
the will of property owners. The banner
was a Mckinley and Hobart one. Mr.
Louis Kaufman was talking with friends
in his saloon at Newark and Hudson
streets, when ne was surprised to see
Counsellor c. Leonard and Tax Assessor
Wlggins making ready to raise a McKin-
ley and Hobart flag from an electric light
pole IN front OF his place. He ran out and
objected vigorously.
5Messrs. Virgins and Leonard insisted on
raising the banner and Kaufman hurried
off to Con Donovan, the owner of the
property. Mr.. Donovan said no flag of
any political party should go up, and
threatened TO cut It down If 1t did. There
upon Mr.. Leonard impeached Mr.. Dono-
vans Americanism.
Hot words ensued and the whole party
went around to see Chief Donovan, who
advised Mr. Leonard not to raise the ban-
ner, and the whole matter was allowed to
drOD.

William ]. Bryan is in this city this
afternoon as ''The News goes to press.
He is making the same old anarchistic
speech, so it will not be worth while for
''The News" to issue an extra to report it.
The Academy is filled with a crowd of
mingled Republicans and silvorites.
About fifteen hundred people are gath
cred about the building.
There were some five hundred people
at the ferry. There was no gathering
along Montgomery street.
The applause was merely nominal un-
til he reached the inside of the building.
There the silverites succeeded in giving a
stimulation of cordiality to the reception
of the Popocratic candidate.

Senator. Henry Cabot Lodge was an
early caller today at the Republican Ma

Mckinley, and there is not the least
doubt that every State IN the New Eng

So far as Massachusetts, Is concerned. /
honestly believe that McKinley's major
ity in that State will be at least 1000
and that is very large Considering the
fact that our total vote is only 395 600,
We gave Governor Greenhalge 81, 900 last
year, and we shall certainly do much bet
ter than that for Mckinley.
