Syracuse y. Y Oct B-wiIliarn ]. Bryan sought
10 gain votes for himself to-day az a candi
date for President by attempting to frighten voters
about the operating Of trusts. He journeyed from
Albany westward along the Mohawk Valley, and
thence westward 20 Syracuse and OsTego. Every

audiences consisted Of women, the being SO
busy that they could not 10 the meetings. and
therefore sent the women TO hear what he said

Bryan seems 10 be desirous of not making promi-

Tonight he attacked the gold standard in in
direct way by criticisng the gold currency bill
passed by the last Congress 20 sustain the gold
standard. He declared that it provided for a per-
manently increased debt, and that he did be-
Eeve any Republican would defend a permanent
debt In this Mr.. Bryan clearly indicated that
~ he should become President the gold currency
act would soon be stripped of many of its leading
features. Mr.. Bryan travelled through a strongly
Republican part OF the State to-day and therefore
probably did not expect enthusiastic welcome
In fact. he was received with coIdness everywhere
until he arrived in Oswego and Syracuse There
thousands OF Democrats assembled and gave him
cordial greeting.
BEGINNING THE DAY AT SCHENECTADY.
Mr. Bryan began his day OF speechmaking at
Schenectady. While standing upon the plat
form OF HE railway he observed the big group
of buildings OF the Edison General Electric Com
psny al the southern end Of the little city. When
the construction Of these buildings begun,
eral years ago, the grass was growing in the
streets Of Schenectady. Now several thousand
persons employed in the electrical machinery
works. and other industries have followed in their
wake. and Schenectady is highly prosperous.
Mr. Bryan in his speech in the little square back
Of the railway station endeavored TO excite alarm
in the hearts Of his hearers by drawing fanciful
picture in livfd colors Of what would happen IL
trust should be formed by the manufacturers of
electrical machinery. To his mind industrial sla
very would follow, and the in the electrical
works would be at the mercy OF the heads of the
great corporation. The prosperous looking work.
insmen in the crowd die not 20 be frightened
by the gloomy picture thus drawn. Mr. Bryan
then turned 20 the contemplation Of a standing
army and expressed his fears that army OF
one hundred thousand would excite thoughts OF
conquest. Why had not the United States taken
Canada or Mexico? Was Il not because UP to this
period the voters Of the United States had obeyed
the command OF the Bible not to covet and not TO
kill?
Amsterdam is another prosperous manufacturing
city. The mills had been closed by their Demo-
cratic and Republican proprietors, and there was
a large crowd Of manufacturing operatives at the
depot when Mr. Brysn's train arrived. Thus there
was no coercion OF the workingmen, and
tempt made TO deprive them of an opportunity 10
hear whatever Mr.. Bryan had 20 say. Mr.. Bryan
more dwet upon the bad effects of trusts. and
said: we don't want rhs 7aboTing man 10 get on
his knees to the trust rnagnate and say, Give
this day daily bread"
Fonda had rather frosty appearance when Mr..
Bryan srrived, for there only about a thou
sand people present Mr. Bryan turned his
attention 20 the farmers and said that the farmers
told they must not vote the Democratic ticket
unless they wished FOR dFouth II rain could be
cornered by the Republican party. there would be
a trust IN showers. Mr. Bryan amused his hearers
By saying that IL had been erroneously reported
thar he had made fortune on his oats this year
out Of q farm OF l25 acres in Nebraska. AS
mat tier Of fact. he only had five acres in oats and,
since he had not yet sold his oats, ne could not
say whether he had made any money out of them.
Talking about oats. he would call their attention
TO The statement Of Henry Clews that the average
price Of oats was higher during the four years OF
Grover Cleveisnds Administration than they have
been IN the four years Of President McKinleys
Administration.
GLOVE MAKERS NOT DISTURBED.
