Jersey City, N. j., Oct 25-The first
day of Mr.. Bryan's tour of New Jersey,
which closed here with six meetings to-
night, may be described as a mad rush.
From the time he entered Washington
Park, opposite Philadelphia, until he
closed his last meeting here he had made
fifteen speeches. The average of their
duration was greater than usual. He
spoke in succession at Washington Park,
+ Riverside. Burlington, Trenton (twice),
Princeton, Junction, New Brunswick,
Elizabeth. Marion and Jersey City (six
times). His journey through the State
was surprise to those accompanying Mr..
Bryan, II not to him, for in few States,
II any, has he had larger, or more demon
strative audiences. His meeting at Wash
ington Park was almost a record breaker
in both those respects, and his meetings
in Trenton and his reception in this city
were only second to the Washing TN
Park meeting in numbers and in feeling
displayed.
Probably no candidate for the Presi-
dency was ever SO much jostled about and
pushed around in one days time, as Mr.
bryan was today At most stopping
places the police found it impossible to
protect him from the hundreds. not to say
thousands, Of persons, who thronged his
pathway and followed him wherever he
WENT.
Il have addressed a great many meet
ings OF college boys. but l never had
nicer meeting than this in my life. !"
This is what Mr.. Bryan said to a number
OF the Princeton College boys who had
followed him to his train from his meet
ing place at Princeton Junction this af-
ternoon. The meeting was one of the
most orderly that Mr.. Bryan has had in
his whole campaign tour. There was not
an interruption from beginning to end
Wnen Mr. Bryan arrived he was greeted
with the college yell, and there was a.
SlnIlar demonstration made upon his de-
parture His address there was entirely
to the students
AT PHILADELPHIA.
Philadelphia, Penn, Oct. 25.-Wm.
). Bryan arrived in this city at 1925
o'clock this morning from Whining
ton, Del, where he spent the night af-
ter his big trip through a portion of
Maryland and Delaware yesterday.
Mr.. Bryan was escorted by the Dem
0cratlc city committee of Philadelphia.
When he arrived at the Broad street
station of the Pennsylvania Railroad
he was greeted by mass of people
that Jammed the big train floor so
completely that there was scarcely
room for his party to make it's way
to the street. The streets surround
ing the station were also crowded with
thousands of people curious to see the
Democratic candidate.
At IL a. m. Mr.. Bryan was driven to
the office Of the Philadelphia Times.
lie was met by Col. A. X. Mcclure,
the veteran editor of that paper and
escorted TO balcony on the second
floor of the building. Thousands of
people crowded the streets and cheer
ed him. Mr.. Bryan was introduced
by COL Mcclure and spoke in part as
follows:
II am glad to be able to stop mo-
ment in this city and / am more de-
lighted to speak to you from the
building where this paper is so intel
ligently edited for American ideas.
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 opportunity as the west. Our
party is not the party of the few but,
the party of the masses. 1t seeks no
special privilege for some but equal
rights for all.
'The Democratic party is making a
canvass on a platform that states it's
position on every question, but the
Republican party is conducting
campaign on platform that conceals

sition because it knows that if it
makes its principles plain the people
would repudiate them. Just remem-
ber When that party met here in
the early days of our forefathers the
Declaration of Independence was its
platform. But when it met here this
year the Declaration of Independence
was ignored altogether. The Repub-
lican party stands for despotism in
the Philippines. The Republican par
ty has no remedy for any evil that
confronts the farmer. Instead it con-
graduates the farmer on good rains;
the laboring man on his full dinner
pail as if he was all stomach.
II want you to know that the full
dinner pail argument does not meet

dinner pail. Tney want something
more. They want relief from the gov
