hood urns Out to Greet MIN.

Niagara Falls, Aug. 2s.-Bryan left
Buffalo by trolley this morning to be-
gin his two days campaign among the
smaller cities of northern New York.
At Tonawanda were gathered 200 or 300
people. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan shook
hands with typical country crowd.
Bryan spoke briefly. His voice showed
the wear and tear of a weeks work.
When the car moved off Il was fol-
lowed by three cheers for the next
president" His speech was as follows.
Ladies' and gentlemen-The Chicago
platform. while IL was written and
adopted by the democrats OF the West
and South. does not raise any sectional
question. 1t simply reasserts the dem
ocracy as first taught by Thomas JEFF
fefson and afterwards defended by
Andrew jackson. (Applause.) The
democracy upon which the democratic
party must always stand unless 1t de-
cides to abandon the principles whioh
have been It's principles from the be-
ginning and substitutes plutocracy
that some have called modern demo-
cracy. (Applause.) The Chicago plat
form simply reiterates those funda-
mental principles upon which our form
of government must rest. The keynote
of the Chicago platform is found In the
declaration of independence, that all
men are created equal and that there
fore no citizens have right TO appro-
pirate TO themselves the blessings the
Creator intended for all people OF this
country. (App,ause.) The laws should
not be made SO that many will toll and
few enjoy the fruits of the toll OF
many. That platform means every
man shall be defended in the enjoy
ment of that which he earns. but no
man shall be permitted to enjoy that
which somebody else has earned and
which Is taken from him by vicious
legislation. The reason they use abus-
i've epithets and apply hard names to
those who support that platform Is be-
cause they know the platform Is a
menace to the wrongdoer. not the
smaller wrongdoer only. but also the
larger transgressor who attempts to
use the government as an instrument
TO wrong Others" (Applause.)
During the morning ride Bryan said
to an associated press representative:
Il am more than gratifed with the
demonstration last evening which far
surpassed anything ! expected. I am
pleaset'to find 50 unanimous a senti-
ment in favor Of the Endorsement Of
the action of the Chicago convention.
From what / have seen in New York,
and the sentiments expressed by men,
bers of the state organization. am
satisfied the state convention will in
dorse the platform as well as the tick
ct. SoTe delegates may oppose part
OF the platform, but the national plat
form will be accepted as a whole"
During a brief stop at Niagara the
Bryan party were taken ON a special
car to Lewiston, several miles down
the river. After ascending the tower
for a view of the falls they boarded a
train for Knowlesville. near Medina, to
speak at a farmers picnic.

AT THE PICNIC.


The Farmers In Their Best Turnoutr
Gr ct the Presidcntigl Nominee.
Knowlesville, N. T., Aug 2s.-There
were several stops at small stations
between Niagara and Knowlesville.
but Bryan made no speeches. His
voice was getting unmanageable. MY
head Is willing. but my throat Is
weak" he explained to the people of
Lockport. who had chartered a band
and burned gunpowder TO greet him.
Men sat around like bees over
freight cars in the yard and cluster
of farmers wagons, while hundreds
of agricultur!sts surrounded the de-
pot, probably a thousand all told.
After Bryan had apologlzed for the
shortcomings of his voice, they per-
sisted In their calls, so he said a few
words. thanking them for the interest
which they displayed In the cam
paign.
The same scene was repeated at
Medina, where the farmers seemed to
compose a majority OF the concourse
Mrs. Bryan's car seat had been heap
ed with bouquets by the ladies' Of
Lockport. and at Medina she scatter
ed chrysanthemums among the peo-
pie who came scrambllng after the
train while II pulled out. lighting for
every blossom. The train itself was
overcrowded with passengers. many
of whom bought tickets for the sake
of a sight of the Nebraska orator.
They pushed into the last car. where
THE Bryans were, until II was crowd
ed. From the car window the coun-
try roads along the line could be seen
with long files OF teams. all headed
for Knowlesville, whittier all roads
were leading to-day.
Knowlesville was reached at a quar-
ter after O'clock. A hearty welcome
was given and farmers wagons at
the little depot were decorated fanci-
fully with flags and homemade ban
ners. displaying Autographs Of the
candidate. One wagon drawn by four
white horses was waiting for the
party and into this they were hur-
ried. the band leading the way and 80
farm wagons trailing behind In a
march to the village, two miles dis
tant. Thus were the Bryans escorted
to the home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene
Woodford, and entertained at lunch
by them. and Mrs. T. Morey Hodge
man. a Nebraska friend Of theirs. who
is spending the summer here. After
lunch they were taken to Knowles
VILE. where Bryan spoke in the open
air to several thousand country peo-
pie assembled for the farmers picnic.

OUR FLEET IN THE LEYANT.

II IL ssnid that None OF Our War Vessels
Have Been Ordered Into Enstern Waters.
CoNsTANrINoPLE, Jan. 15.-The Porto gives
out the statement that the United States Gov
ernment has informed Mavroyeni Bey. Turkish
Minister at Washington, that no United States
war vessels have been ordered into Eastern
waters.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.-The above despatch
was probably based on communication made
to Mavroyeni Bey by Secretary Olney on Thurs
day last, when tho Turkish representative
visited the State Department. The announce
Inent of the Porte seems officially TO confirm the
understanding in naval circles that no actual
orders were issued to Rear Admiral Bunce TO
send to the Levant any Of the vessels now under
his command at Hampton Roads.
But Notwithstanding this 1t is understood that
the project of sending portion at least Of Adj
miral Bunce's feet to the Levant has been con-
sdered by the President and his advisers. That
no formal action has been the result Of this con-
sideration does not necessarily mean that the
project has been abandoned for the fleet is still
held In home waters although nearly a month
has passed since the date set for its departure
for practice cruise In the West Indies.

"Our press says that this act Of our President
is no cause for war because England will back
down. When our President shakes his fist in
the face Of the English Queen. isn't this the act
of a bully?
I'VE say that the message was called out by
the danger to our institutions. Why don't We
take them in out of the wet and not let them
main out over night. Our danger does not lie
in Venezuela, nor In the land south Of
tho frost line. 1t lies not in contact
with England. whose institutions are as
free as our own. The liberties OF our
fathers are in peril. The danger lies In the
degeneracy of our pu bile men, and in the failure
of the attempt to get n decent municipal gov
