AN ANSWER TO BoURKE COCHRAN.
In His Speech at Tivolf This
Evening.

UPPER RED HOOK, N. Y, Aug. 21.
Every indication here today has been
towards what is a settled fact, that
VIM. j. Bryan expects and has been
assured of Eastern support. Letters
continued to pour in asking him to
speak at Eastern points. and If the re-
quests were needed he could spend the
entire time from now until election
day in New York state. Nearly every
city of any size between New York and
Chicago has asked him to make a
stop, and, without exception, the invi-
tations have come from leaders of
Democratic organizations.
Mr.. Bryan showed no surprise this
morning at the newspaper stories that
the New York Democratic state orga-
nization had decided to support him.
He did not reflect little bit upon the
statement that Senator Hill had told
Mr. Danforth that he would support
and work for him (Bryan). He said,
in relation to that question: cit is not
Senator HilPs custom to speak through
others, and I doubt If Mr.. Danforth
gave out statement purporting to be
made by Senator HILL The senator
will probably make his own announce
ment.'
1t was said here today on very good
authority that Senator Hill would take
part In the demonstration in honor OF
Mr.. Bryan at Albany on Tuesday
night The statement needs authenti-
cation, however. The receipt of a let
ter from Mr.. Sheehan, of Tammany,
asking Mr.. Bryan to speak in New
York added another chain to the cir
cumstances leading up to proof of a
thorough understanding between Mr..
Bryan and the New York Democracy.
The published statement that Richard
Croker had approved Mr. Sheehans
and Tammany's course in indorsing
Bryan caused the candidate great
deal of satisfaction, however, and he
said that he had always believed that
all the great leaders would fall into
line, except perhaps those who had
financial interests with the gold side Of
the issue, intimating that the leaders
In the gold Democratic movement had
mercenary interests.
Congressman Sulzer arrived here to-
night and was closeted with Mr.. Bry-
an. He brought with him Prof Van
Buren Denslow, formerly a professor
III SLICdSO university, ana now a writ
er of silver literature. When the con-
ference was over, Mr.. Sulzer said that
he could not divulge the reason for his
visit, except that Prof. Denslow desired
to visit Mr.. Bryan. Despite all pres
sure tonight, Mr. Sulzer insisted that
he had nothing to communicate
Mr.. Bryan's speech at Tivoli tomor-
row is expected to be delivered to 5000
or 5000 people, and Mr.. Bryan's prep
arations today would seem to indicate
that 1t will be the greatest effort made
since the Madison Square garden
speech. 1t will be political in it's tone
and will perhaps attempt to answer in
part the speech of Mr.. Cochran.
This afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Bryan
Mr.. and Mrs. E. c. Perrine, the Misses
Perrine, Col c. M. Repper and A Maui
rice Low went to Spring lake on
fishing excursion. Tomorrow the party
goes to Tivoli, and Sunday they will
attend church Monday they go to
the Winnisook club in the Catskills.
