Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

NEW YORK October IA, 1900.
There is still hustle over the big blow
out set for October 16. 1t Is not known at
Just what time Bryan will arrive in this
city on the occasion of his visit next Tues
day, but it has been arranged that spe-
cial committee will meet him at the sta
ton and escort him to the Hoffman House.
where he will receive visitors until
o'clock at which time he will go to dinner.
After the dinner he will start to make his
speeches.
Bryan, it has been announced, will make
a second visit to this city on October q,
when he will speak In Madison Square
Garden and in several other places under
the direction of the National Association
of Democratic Clubs. But he will not have
the field to himself on the occasion of his
second visit, for the republican campaign
managers have already made plans to have
many speakers here in the course of the
week. Governor Roosevelt Is expected to
make several speeches, and Senator Depew
will make addresses in this city and vlcin-
ity. There has been some talk to the eff
feet that the men who had asked Bryan
to make one speech here were not particu-
Iarly overjoyed when they learned that he
was to make a second. and this had come
to the ears Of the men who are bringing
him here the second time, but they still
insist that they have made their plans and
his first speech in Madison Square Garden
he will be the whole thing, practically. and
will stand alone in his glory. but when he
speaks here again he will share the stage
arrangement in charge thought that Hill
would prove a great attraction. and they
even went so far as to have the date book
made over so that he could be here with
Bryan.
Anyone who is observing the difference
in the preparations making by Croker for
the reception of the democratic presidential
candidate on October 16. and those going
on among the trade organizations for the
big Mckinley demonstration to be held on
November 3, cannot fail to note the ma
chine made character of the former and the
spontaneity of the latter. This immense
outpouring which will march from o clock
in the morning until nightfaU is strictly
nOnpartisan. In every trade regiment there
will be companies composed entirely or
democrats. who realize that sound money
is the paramount question in this campaign.
Though the work of organization for this
parade is really, yet only in its pre-
liminary stages. yet already the number of
men in line is sure to be as great as in 1896.
New Clubs Organizing.
A number of new industrial sound money
clubs have been organized, with large en-
ro.iments and all will march. The Insur-
ancc Mems Club. just organized. which
hopes to have 5000 men in line, is an ex-
ample of these new clubs. No political or
carnations as such will be allowed to par
ticipate in the parade, and no uniforms or
other decorations will be worn. The whole
maragement of the parade is in the hands
of the sound money Industrial clubs. 1t Is
estimated that about fifty Of these clubs
will be in line, as against forty In 1896. The
line of march of the parade will be the
same as in 1898. 1t will start at the Bat
terry and go up Broadway to WaVerly Place,
through Waverly Place to Fifth avenue ana
up Fifth avenue to sd street. The review
ing stand will be erected In Madison square.
There is no probability that the Dewey arch
viii; be removed prior to the election. AS
1t stands today 1t will be necessary Tor the
parade to pass through the arch in column
of fours and this is likely to cause conges-
ticn. 1t is possible that the reviewing stand
will be built on both sides of the arch
The President of the United States Will
be the guest of honor. Theodore Roosevelt,
as the governor of the state. will be es-
corted from the Battery to the reviewing
stand by the president of the association,
the executive committee and the grand
marshal with a mounted guard of honor
A committee On invited guests has been ap-
pointed and authorized to invite and enter
tain prominent men in public life from all
parts Of the country. These guests vii!
have places on the reviewing stand. and
after the parade will be entertained at the
associations headquarters at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel Permits for the erection OF
two other stands have been obtained. hut
the locations of these stands have not been
determined upon.
Protest Against Altgeld.
Leaders of the Brooklyn democratic or
ganzation have made protest to Col.
Bryan's managers in New York against the
intended visit of John p. Altgeld to Brook
lyn. The protest has not had any effect,
and Altgeld will address labor Bryan and
Stevenson mass meeting in the CIarmont
avenue rink on Saturday night There Is
hi fnnf
the regular party leaders in Brooklyn over
the Altgeid matter. The extreme views Of
the former governor Of Illinois and his
fierce opposition to Grover Cleveland. 1T is
said, have made him personally unpopular
with the element the Kings county organi-
Zation is now trying with might and main
to hold in line for the national and state
tickets. 1t Is their fear that Altgelds ap-
pearance in the east, and particularly in
Brooklyn. will drive back into the repuDli-
can fold the democrats who voted for sound
money in the last presidential campaign,
and who are now inclined to vote with the
regular democrats on the imperialism issue.
The regular leaders were not consulted in
regard to the meetings of Saturday night.
1t was projected as labor demonstration
purely, and its promoters ignored the local
campaign committee, but went directly to
headquarters in Manhattan for their speak
ers. Samuel Gompers Is advertised to pre-
side at the meeting, and Altgeld is to be the
main speaker. The announcement OF the
cratic leaders of Kings county yesterday.
There was communication between the two
headquarters, and the managers of the
campaign in Manhattan were told that Alt
geld's presence in Brooklyn would mean
the loss of thousands Of conservative votes.
The spectacle Of two men in an almost
insensible state from intoxicatlon seated in
a carriage and being carried about aimless-
ly, the horse being guided by neither one,
attracted the attention of Mounted Officer
Dyer at Good Hope last evening and caused
him to investigate. He ascertained the oc-
cupants of the vehicle to be James Wilson
and George Wilson, cousins, and residents
of Good Hope. The officer led the team in
which they were to the police station at
Anacostia, where he entered a charge
against them Of violating the police regua-
tions. 1t is stated they were returning from
a visit to Prince Georges county. Md.
