at Syracuse and Rochester-Now In Erie.
Where $50 Delegates Of Democratic So
cieties Are In Session.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. 27.-After q
pleasant trip of two hours through the
Mohawk valley William j. Bryan reached
Syracuse at 9:10 o'clock in the morning
from Utica. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan walked
to the New York Central station from the
adjacent Baggs hotel, where they had
spent the brief rest allotted to them by
Mr.. Bryan's itinerary.
Mr.. and Mrs Bryan went out on the
rear platform and received cheers Mr..
Bryan was introduced as the next presi-
dent of the United States. He said that
the train would stop too short time to
permit him to make Il speech, and then he
went on to make little one, part of
which follows:
II want to assure you, my friends, that
the people who are opposing the success Of
the ticket nominated at Chicago are not
doing 1t because they are afraid that
anarchy, such as they speak Of, will be tri-
umphant but it is because they know that
the Chicago platform aims its blows at the
real enemies Of this country, those who
think they are greater than the govern
ment-and can make the government their
instruments for private gain.
"Show me man who isinterested in the
stock exchanges, in the syndicates and in
the other great combinations of money
grabbing In this country and IN Europe
and will show you man who is opposed
to the Chicago ticket, and will show you
man who charges us with being anar-
chists. I hurl back the charge and say
that these men are the greatest enemies
that this country has, and their opposition
to us is because our warfare is against
them, and it is intended to stop the plum
derer of the industrial masses in behalf of
the money corporations Of this country
and Europe.
81 notice one of tho opponents Of free
coinage said the other day that if the
farmer had suffered from falling prices
when he went to sell he had gained in
falling prices when he went to buy. That
may all be we'll enough for some one who
is not a farmer to tell to man who is a
farmer. 1t would never be told by a
farmer himself. Because a farmer knows
that while he sells at Wholesale he buy at
retail, and that retail prices do not fall as
fast as Wholesale prices"
The Bryan party left Syracuse at 1880
and reached Rochester ut 2:15. The
greatest crowd of the trip in New York
surrounded the Rochester depot and fol-
lowed the party to Brown square. Sew
eral thousand people were gathered in the
grove, with a large sprinkling of ladies.
In the streets and on four sides of the
square were solid lines of carts and car
riages crowded with people, and on the
outskirts hundreds were coming and 60
ing, so that probably 10000 people had u
sight of the man Of the day, though not
more than fourth of them could hear
him.
Mr.. Bryan was presented by ex-Secre-
tary Of State Frederick Cook, He spoke in
part as follows:
lam candidate for the highest office
in the gift Of the people of the greatest ma
ton of the earth today, and as n candidate
for that position l appear before yon, not
however, to solicit your suffrages because
they are yours and no one has right to
tell you how you will Use them or to beg
you to present them to him as gift. You
are free men. The ballot is yours to use
for the defense of your rights, for the pro-
lection of your interests and for the we'll
fare of society
81 not only recognize the right of every
man to use his ballot for the protection of
his own interests and of the interests of
society as he understands those interests,
but regard it as his duty to use his ballot
SO. But there is a another thing. re-
gard it as the duty Of a man who wants to
leave his party to have reason for it
which he is not afraid to write upon the
walls, SO that he who runs may read. l
do not want him to say that he is opposed
to the Chicago platform because he loves
his country when his reason may be that
his salary from trust may have more in
fluence with him than the welfare Of his
country"
The party had only an hour in Roches-
ter, and it was II race against time to
catch the New York Central train for
Buffalo, whence the party was to be taken
by n special train to the meeting of the
Democratic clubs at Erie, Pa.
The special train on which Mr.. Bryan
proceeded from Buffalo to Erie, was in
charge of the committee of five Erie Demo-
Gratis, Otto Corner, f. A. Mizcncr, John
S. Killing, w. G. Crosby and H. l.. Moore,
who had come to Buffalo to meet the can
didate. Hon. Joseph Sibley, who came
near being Mr.. Bryan's running mate,
Joined the candidate at Dunkirk.
The days demonstrations culminatedin
Erie, where the meeting of $50 delegates Of
the Democratic societies of Pennsylvania
made the presence of the candidate par
ticularly opportune. Mr., BRYAN made
three stirring speeches to as many audi |
ences in the evening, being driven quietly |
from one hall to another The first meet |
ing was at Mannachor hall, which hold
$500 persons to whom Mr. Bryan ap-
cealed to study the issue of the campaign
and vote their convictions.
His second appearance was on the stage
of the Auditorium where he faced m au-
dience Of equal size, and the second speech
was like the first, brief but stirring. Out
side Of the Erie Opera House thousands
more had waited for glimpse of the can
didate. All inside were assembled the
delegates to the meeting of Democratic
societies. When thepeople were admitted
they filled the house in fifteen minutes and
the doors were closed upon hundreds
Tho entrance of the presidential candi-
date on the arm of ex-Congrcssman JOS
eph c. Sibley inspired wild scene of en-
thusiasm which lasted several minutes,
and Mrs Bryan's appearance in box
WIN MiS' t'ibicy plouNtCi clJulS-
iasm. This was the principal speech. Mr..
Bryan said
II know western town where the peo~
pie congregate upon the streets, blocking
up the sidewalk talking the money ques-
ton and when they got so numerous they
had to push them off the sidewalks they
blocked up the streets, 100 feet wide, and
then, in order to allow some business to
go on the city council hired hall for
these people to meet in every day and dis
cuss the money question.
'My friends when the people come to
discuss the money question in that way
you cannot drive the tariff question into
the campaign with apple driver. 1t Is not
more taxes the people want 1t is moro
money to pay the taxes they already have
today. want you to go home and take
with you the determination to leave no
effort undone to carry out the principle
which you espouse. We have a cause that
appeals to the hearts of men.
II want our opponents to understand
right now that the fact that am young
