speech-making. AS a rule the speeches

they exceeded in number by nine or ten
those of any previous day during the pres

number made in the campaign in any one
day in 1896. Beginning at cambridge. in

on the East Side, and in Brooklyn during
the night he made eight speeches, making
thirty in all for the day and night.
The days tour was first along the head
waters of the Susquehanna river, and then
back through the Catskills and down the
Hudson on the west side of that river to
Weehawken; thence across the river and
across Manhattan island and into Brook
Ign. All the speeches, except one, were
made in the State of New York, the excep-
Il
in the State of New Jersey. Mrs. Bryan
accompanied her husband during the day,
and she received almost much applause
as he did when she appeared before the
crowds assembled to hear him. She was
also presented during the day with many
handsome bouquets of roses and chrysan-
themums. Eliot Danforth and Mrs. Dan
forth were .also aboard the train during
the day. AS rule greater enthusiasm
was manifested than at smaller places on
Mr. Bryan's first tour of the State, and
the crowds were generally large in proper

one of the most enthusiastic. Haverstraw
and West Nyack also received Mr.. Bryan
most cordially.

eight different parades in the borough, and
1t is estimated that altogether 10000 people
were in line. Fireworks famed until mid
night from a dozen different stands, and
Greek fire was everywhere. A small army
of policemen kept the crowds in order, and
twenty mounted officers met Mr.. Bryans
party at the bridge entrance and acted as
an escort for the remainder of the even
ing. The first speech was made at the
Academy of Music AS the Bryan party
approached the Academy, bombs and sky
rockets were set off in front OF the bor-
ough hall and filled the sky with clouds of
colored stars. Music broke forth from a
dozen bands, and the throngs of people in
the streets cheered and shouted themselves
hOarSe.
The Academy was crowded with an en-
thusiastic audience, and thousands of peo-
pie who wished to hear the Democratic
candidate could not be admitted. When
Mr.. Bryan appeared on the platform the
crowd went wild with applause, and 1t was
at least ten minutes before sufficient quiet
could be restored to allow the speaker to
proceed. Mr.. Bryan spoke for thirty min
utes. being frequently interrupted by APP
plause. Senator Wellington. of Maryland,

SPEECH TO FARMERS
Mr.. Bryan announced at the breakfast
table this morning that he was never
IL better condition for the campaign, and
said that he wanted to make all the
speeches so as to break his own record. the
highest number which he had hitherto
made in one day being twenty-seven. AT
cambridge he said:
York in order TO come up into this part
of the State. I am glad to talk TO farmers,
for il seems TO me that If the people Of
this country who are working on the farm,
who are making their living out of the soil
will examine public questions that very
few farmers will be able TO give reason
for voting the Republican ticket In this
Republican farmers; in fact, the Repub-
licans have now admitted that the cities
are lost. They started out with the full
dinner pail as an argument. They started
out with the assertion that the country
was prosperous. and that, therefore, every
body would vote the Republican ticket, and
vet to-day the Republicans are not mem
tioning the full dinner pail any more"
Proceeding, Mr.. Bryan said that the Re-
publicans had abandoned the idea of carry
ing the cities, and were now appealing TO
the farmers.
At Sidney Mr.. Bryan spoke for five min
utes The address took interrogative
form Mr. Bryan asked that If the Re-
publican party really condemned the trusts
as it's platform declares, how is it trusts
grew so in the past three years, with the
Republicans in executive and legislative
control of the government, Subsequent
questions took Mr.. Bryan's auditors over
the subject of the effect of trusts on wages
and the cost of manufactured articles. The
subject Of increase Of the standing army
was touched upon in a similar way, and
the allegation was made that THE Porto
Rican bill is built upon the same theory
that England built her colonies century
and quarter ago.
At Unadilla Mr.. Bryan said that the
Democrats stood to-day where the Presi-
dent had stood when he announced the ac-

go only a moment, and Mr.. Bryan did
not speak
IN A DEMOCRATIC COUNTY
In speech at Cobleskill Mr. Bryan re-
ferred to the fact that he was in Schoharic
county which is the only county In The
State of New York that gave him a major

Danforth has been insisting for four years
that should come into this county. be-
