Office Balcony
USES HIS STOCK ARGUMENT

J. BRYAN arrived in this city al ID O'Clock
this morning from Wilmington. Del, where
he spent the night after his big trip through
a portion Of Maryland and Delaware yes
terday. Mr.. Bryan was escorted by the
democratic city committee of Philadelphia.
When he arrived at the Broad street sta
lion of the Pennsylvania railroad he was
greeted by mass of people that damned
the big train shed SO completely that there
was scarcely room for his party to make
its way to the street. The streets sur
rounding the station were also crowded
with thousands OF people curious to see
the democratic candidate.
Mr. BRYAN was taken to a hotel close to
the station. where he was to rest for a
couple Of hours before beginning his tour
If New Jersey. Here, however thousands
Of people crowded Broad street, cheering
and exhibiting much enthusiasm. As soon
As Mr.. BRYAN reached the quarters as
signed to him the hotel filled with men de-
sirouS Of greeting him, and an impromptu
reception began. which precluded all
thought of rest for the candidate.
Visits Philadelphia Times Office.
Mr. Bryan left his hotel after 1890
O'Clock. driving down Chestnut street to
the office of the Philadelphia Times. which
he reached about II o'clock. He was met
by Col. a. X. Mcclure the veteran editor
of that paper and escorted to a balcony on
the second floor of the building. Thousands
Of people crowded the streets and cheered
him. Mr. Bryan was introduced by Col.
Mcclure. He spoke. in part as follows:
Il am glad to be able to stop moment
in this city, and | am more delighted to
speak TO You from the building where this
paper is 50 Intelligently edited for American
as against European ideas. l believe the
only reason our principles are not as strong
in the east as in the west Is because the
east has not the same opportunities as inc
west our party is not the party OF the
few but the party Of the masses. 1t seeks
no special privileges for some, but equal
rights for all The democratic party Is
making d canvass on platform that states
ills position on every question. but the re-
rubIican party is conducting a campaign
on a platform that conceals every issue. II
does rot reveal its position because it knows
that II il makes its principles PLAN the
people would repudiate them
Two Epochs Compared.
when that party met here in the early
days Of our forefathers the Declaration Of
Independence was its platform. But when
il met here this year the Declaration of
InGependence was ignored altogether. The
republican party stands for despotism in
the Philippines. The republican party has
no remedy for any evil that confronts the
farmer. Instead it congratulates the far
nner on good rains the laboring man on his
full dinner pail. as if he were all stomach.
l want you to know that the full dinner
pail argument does not need a response
rom rhos, who carry the dinner pail They
want something more. They want relief
from ,axes and from government by in
junction; they want representation in the
Presidents cabinet. thew want SETTLE
ment OF disputes by afoltraton'
they want laws that make it an
offense TO organize the trusts. 1 rec
