New York with two large meetings in this
city tonight. One OF these meetings was
held at the Broadway market and was an
Cpen-air gathering. and the other at Con-
ventiOn Hall. Before reaching Buffalo he
had made fifteen addresses during the day,
beginning with q thirty-minute speech at
Elmira at O'Clock in the morning. The
ether places at which he spoke were as fol-

Lockport and Niagara Falls. The attend
ance at most OF the day meetings was good
and at some of them quite large. The au-

as a rule. but everywhere the Democratic

careful attention and respectful treatment
During his State tour Mr.. Bryan has made
about sixty-fve different speeches, and he
has quite thoroughly traversed the central
belt Of the State from east to west. He
left this city tonight at u o'clock for
Huntington, W. Va, where he will begin
one-day trip across West Virginia next
Monday morning.
Mr.. Bryan began the speechmaking on
the third day of his New York tour at FL
from a stard erected in park and he had
a large audience. Mr.. Bryan said in part:
II am glad that live in a country where
no man can be elected unless the people
want him elected and where no policy can
be enforced unless the people want that
policy enforced, for up to this time the Re
publicans have not yet denied our right to
attend to our business, although they deny
a, -s<rt,@ l,;e ,c;
ness"
Mr.. Bryan then spoke of the trusts In
view Of the general Republican knowledge
concerning the trusts and Mr.. Hanna's
declaration Mr.. Bryan asserted that he had
never known a man whose word amounted
to so little among his friends as did Mr..
Hanna's. If there is an ice trust" he con-
tinued. MIR. Hanna's word cannot be ac-
cepted."
THE TRUTH TWISTED.
Discussing the Republican attitude on
trusts Mr.. Bryan declared that the Repub-
hcans were inconsistent and that they
had no remedy for trusts. He said: "They
opened the session by creating a money
trust and they are closing II by practicing
fraud in their pretended effort TO stop
ether trusts. The amendment TO the Con-
stitution offered by them was not necessary
and its purpose was not to give Congress
the power that it needed. 1t was to take
away from the States power that they
have so that If the trusts control the gov
eminent the States would be powerIess to
protect themselves against a private
monopoly. That the purpose of that
amendment, and when it was defeated the
Republicans confessed we did not need it,
because they then brought in bill which
they said was intended 10 protect the peo-
pie from private monopoly-a bill brought
in after the amendment was defeated,
showing that they did not need the amend
ment, and all the Democrats voted for the
bill. / believe there was scarcely op-
position vote I'm the House, but when it
went 10 the Senate and the Democrats de-
manded that IL be passed mt once the Re
publicans sent it to the judiciary commit
tee. and there it sleeps to-day"
Mr.. Bryan said that the money which
was being expended in the Philippines
could be much more profitably utilized in
seSeepng the resources OF the United se1
utilizing the money the construction of
storage reservoirs in the semi-arid regions
OF the West for the holding of surplus
waters. which would. he said, materially
increase the agricultural area OF that sec
ton and add to the wealth OF the country
al large. but, ne added, the Republic
ans would rather waste blood than save
water"
Mr.. Bryan spoke for twenty minutes
nom the rear platform OF his car at
Corning The railroad yards were well
filed and the national candidate was
warmly received. lie declared that the
Repuohcan party was putting its plea this
year on the lowest plane that a political
campaign had ever been made upon. In
support of this statement he said they were
all things TO all men; they were making
specious pleas 10 all classes and were meet
ing no arguments He discussed the army
and territorial expansion in practically the
same terms as IN previous speeches. While
Mr. Bryan was talking of the trusts some
silver
an replied: There is no silver trust, but
IL there were and IL would contribute
enc enough 70 the republican campaign fund
the Republican party would be for silver"
Concluding his speech. Mr.. Bryan said:
II You want the trusts TO grow, vote the
Republican; If you want the trusts to
60. vote our ticket. If you want the stand
ing army to grow, vote the Republican
ticket; but If you want the large army
With all its accompanying evils To go. vote
the Democratic ticket. If you want i'm
perialism 20 grow. vote the Republican
ticket; but If you want Imperialism TO GO
vote the Democratic ticket, and tx success
ful We will try 10 bring the Nation back
10 the fundamental principles OF the fathers
ana place II firmly again on the Constitu-
ton and the Declaration OF Independence
as its chief foundation stones"

audience. Mr.. Bryan addressed himself
largely 10 the farmers. who. he said CON

Classes Of the world. He said that not
Withstanding each decade shows that the
farmers are growing poorer others are
growing richer. You are not sharing in
the blessings OF this Nation" he said. NOR
nave you your share of the protection of
government. The question for you to ask
yourselves is whether you are receiving
your share OF the boasted prosperity of
