1Iteen speeches. The average of their
duration was greater than usual He
spoke in succession at Washington Park,

umes). His journey through the state
was surprise to those accompanying
Mr.. Bryan, if not to him, for in few
states, if any, has he had larger or more
demonstrative audiences. His meeting
at Washington Park was almost rec
ord-breaker in both of these respects
and his meetings in Trenton and his re-
ceptlon in this city were only second to
the Washington Park meeting in num-
bers and in feeling displayed.

is what Mr.. Bryan said to a number Of
the Princeton college boys who had fol-
lowed him to his train from his meeting
place at Princeton Junction this after
noon. He arrived at the junction at
half past five, and spoke from a slightly

dents Of Princeton college, which insti-
tuition is located three miles distant from
the junction. The meeting was one Of
the most orderly that Mr.. Bryan has had
in his whole campaign tour. There WAS
not an interruption from beginning to
end When Mr.. Bryan arrived he was
greeted with the college yell, and there
was similar demonstration made upon
his departure. His address there vas
entirely to the students.
Mr. Bryan was introduced as the next
president Of the United States" Replying
to 1t, he said:
ADDRESS AT PRINCETON.
You are not compelled to believe all
compelled to accept me as the next pres
ldent, but l want you to believe me to
be interested in all those things that
make for the good of our country. and if
L am mistaken in my judgment, I know
you will give me the credit that [ shall
give you-though 1 know many of you
differ from me-the credit of trying to
find out what is right and of doing what
believe to be right, regardless of the
temporary consequences that may follow
A senator once said, Who saves his coun-
bless him; who lets his country die lets
all things die, dies himself ignobly, and
all things dying curse him.
Th1S is our country and we are inter-
ested in it because it is our country, and
Whlle we may differ in opinion as to the
pest course to pursue on particular occa-
saons, we ought to agree on one principle,
and that is that we should be more inter-
ested in what is good than In what we
may think to be good, if We are in error,
and we ought to prefer the triumph of
that which is right rather than the tri-
umph of that which we may think to be
right If We are in error. 1t is because
We believe in the ultimate triumph of
that which we believe to be true that we
labor and wait.
THE YOUNG MANS CHANCE.
''You will find that as monopoly in
creases the chance of the young man be-
comes less, and when you take away the
hope that has inspired him in the past
you render him a less effective man. This
nation is the greatest nation in the world,
because here there is more hope for the
young man. Here life is before the young
is no caste. In this country the son of
the humblest citizen may aspire, to the
highest rewards in the industrial and po-
litical world, but under an industrial des-
potism you take away the prospect of in
dependence, and under this system you.
will find that political despotism will fol-
low, for when one employer can coerce
thousands of employees and threaten them
with idleness and starvation unless they
vote the ticket the employer faVorS, you
will find government Of the people, by.
the people and for the people will be a
thing of the past.
II want to call your attention also to
the system which is now being proposed
by the Republicans, known as the colo
NAL system. One of our great institu-
lions of learning has established In the
college a department for instruction for
dealing with our dependencies and coo
MES Young me. we have never had COLO
MES before and history teaches that re-
publics cannot have colonies, and when
we have reached the point where we want
colonies we have reached the point where
have one idea here and another idea in
the Orient. Governments cam t come up
from the people, and in the Philippine ISL
ands come out of the mouth of the cam

seemed disposed to press in upon and
We're crowded and many houses were
brilliantly lighted until late at night, in
honor of the occasion. The halls at which
speeches were made were crowded to
their utmost capacity.
Mr. .Bryan'S speeches were all necessa-
rily brief, but in each of them he found
opportunity to express his views upon the
subjects agitating the voting public He
undertook in each of them to show that
the trusts are expressing the people that
there Is great danger under Republican
rule of an army larger than this country
needs for legitimate purposes, and that
there is great danger of drifting into i'm

The principal meeting of the evening
was that at the hall known as ST. Pc

Mr.. Bryan addressed three crowds on
the streets.
