BrYan's Wonderful Tour in Neu York
JULIAN HAWTHORNE Philadelphia North American (1ey Rspuban

ANY of you fellows can wait for the
millennium if you want to-" said ne,
this morning, but I'm having mine
right here and now" The mayor IS
making speeches occasionally as We go
along, and is as effective in his way as
Bryan in his. He talks to an audience
just as he talks to friends at a table.
He addresses this man and that IN
personal way which Immediately wins
him, and a baby could understand
what he says. No one can listen to
him without feeling better, happier
and more urageous.
II have no party" he says. They
may call me a Republican or a Demo-
crat- ] want everybody 10 be happy
and free, and the parties can have the
rest
At FishliH the party was ferried
across the river, and both Mayor Jones
and Bryan addressed a crowd estimat-
ed at 10000. There were Republicans
among them when the party landed.
but 20 judge by the demonstrations
none were left when it went away.
Il never voted the Democratic ticket
in my life" said one old gentleman.
but I am going TO vote il next month
o Q, 9
81 lived in this neighbOrhOod about
twenty years ago" said Mayor Jones,
in his speech. Il was Just as honest
then as I am now, and I was then
voting with the Republicans. The only
difference in me now is that I am more
intelligent, and now seem TO be more
with the Democrats Such sayings
make the people laugh. and also think.
If Mayor Jones had a particle Of ambi-
ton and a little less optimistic phil
OSODhy he could easily become a great
figure in our political life, but as he
says, 7 shall never be a candidate of
any organization for a high Office, be-
cause l don't see what right any or
ganizatiOn has to make me its candi-
date. I should want TO be chosen di-
rcctly by the people themselves. and
then I could serve them I give space
to the mayor because his personality is
less known than Bryan's, and is in
trinsically of great interest. There are
Indications. too. that people o. his sort
are on the increase. 4 don't hate any
body any more he says. 4 ind when
I get close UP to man I thought ]
hated that he is people the same as ]
am I hate hate and love love" Il is
remarkable that TWO men like Bryan
and Jones should be together on the
train. and yet il is not renla rka bic
either, for like seeks like. and in Ger
tain essential ways the two are very
much alike.
The most elaborate demonstration OF
the day was at Troy. which gave
Democratic majority last election The
Bryan weather still held good, and the

was out to see the sights. In a Ions

American CRep-)
General conditions are understood to
have favored the Republicans during
the last four years-gOOd crops, pros
porous industries and imperial glories-
But the weather has taken UP Bryan
on this trip; the Indian summer in its
glorious perfection is travelling with
him and spreading forth glorious
phantasmagoria of river and mountain
and sunny sky, and the crowding and
enthusiastic audiences who are on
hand to meet him at every stopping
place seem to welcome him as if he
was the incarnation and symbol of all
the beauty and beneficenCe of nature
the scenes recall to me the similar
ones of four years ago. but the temper
of these New York audiences IS differ
ent from the west in 1886 The latter
gave the impression of a fOrlOrn hope,
a blind graSping at some Misunderstood
blessing, which was desired rather
than expected. Now audiences seem
to show the results Of the political
education of the past four years They
have learned to know Bryan and what
he stands for. and now, instead OF hop
ing against hope, they have bearing
OF confidence as of those who know
what they want and believe that they
will get it. The animation and cheer
fuIness of the atmosphere seem to be
reflected in the people, and they look
forward to q change from Republican
ism to Democracy as one welcomes
sunshine and freedom after a long sea-
son of Imprisonment and gloom In
spite OF the labors Of yesterday Bryan
is in excellent condition today. and his
voice rings out over the multitudes
clear and distinct If there be any
thing in Speechmaking which he did
not know four years ago he has learned
it since.
Into these little FIVE or ten-minute
allowances ne packs an immense deal
of political wisdom and argument, and
ne also puts in a sprinkling Of those
felieitous apothegms for which he has
become famous.
These points are taken with extrava-
CANT delight by the hearers and the
responses they make show that they
have already had their own thoughts
on the subject and appreciated the
happy manner in which their leader
formulated them And this is very
different from four years ago. I can
attempt no explanation Of this change
in face of the supposed apathy of
which we have heard so much. But !
tell what I see and hear.
From all have heard about
heaven said Bryan at TarrytOwu
the rich and the poor are to live there
together forever. And perhaps : may
do some good if l can help to make
some OF them known TO one another
here. so that when they get there they
won't have to be introduced" This hit
the thousands OF WOrkingmen WHO
were gazing up at him in the right
place, and the cheering was frantic
Mayor Jones of Toledo AZ on the train
and is q center of interest in himself
He has a lovely face with the frank
ness and simplicity of a child, and h,
believes in the whole human race, no
in any part of it to the exclusion o.
others He is an idealist, and does no
object to being called one.

beautiful expression of gratitude for
