NEW HAVEN. Conn, October 27.-The
Journey of MIR. Bryan and his party from
New York to New Haven was uneventfu
AT South Norwalk. where the train stopped
for minute two, number of railroad
employees jumped a high fence to get to
Mr.. Bryan 10 shake hands. and at TWO or
three other places he left his seat and rushed
to the rear platform to wave his hat to
groups of people gathered by the roadside
During very brief stop at Bridgeport a
number of people rushed to the car, and
calling for MIR Bryan. demanded hand
shake. He made no speech although there
were demands that he should say some
thing on the Ice trust During the trip up
MIR. Bryan had talk with William Waldo
Hyde, former mayor of Hartford and an
elector on the Palmer and Buckner ticket
in 1896. at Mr. Hydes request.
The Yale students today had their first
meeting of the present campaign with Mr.
Bryan. When Mr.. Bryan first visited this
city during the presidential contest of 1896
he was not given a very agreeable recep-
ton. Twice since that time he has lee
tured here very successfully, speaking on
other than political themes. MIR. Bryan ar
rived at IL o'clock, and was escorted di-
rectly to the I'd Regiment Armory, a large
hall in which the meeting was held and in
which many students had gathered. He
was greeted as he entered the hall with
general cheers. There were cries of
What's the matter with Bryan" and re-
sponses: Hes all right When Mr.. Bryan
began to speak there was general silence
in the audience, and while there were
afterward slight Interruptions it seemed
evident from the beginning that there was
intention to make unfriendly demon
STATIONS, such as rendered remarkable Mr..
Bryan'S visit to New Haven four years
ago when Yale students literally broke up
vast open-air meeting on the green.
Says Republicans Have Failed.
After expressing his pleasure at being
once more in New Haven, Mr.. Bryan said:
I'VE are now near the close of this cam
paign-so near to 1t that We can see what
the republicans have done and we can guess
all that they will do between now and cleo
ton day and 1 want to call your attention
to the fact that the republican campaign is
cCnfessedly a failure. The republican
party today has failed to make the cam
paign it started out to make and today it
is not in a position TO defend itself before
the public
He then referred to the full dinner pail
argument and said that it was becoming
generally understood that all dinner pals
were not full. in the anthracite coal regions,
for instance. He asserted that the labor
ing mans condition could never be consid-
cred prosperous long as he was compelled
to keep his children out of school and
at work in order to keep the wolf from the
door The republican party" he said,
does not today stand for any policy that
is good for the laborer. One of the present
injustices Of the republicans is government
by injunction. The meanest thief, the
blacklist murderer, is given trial for his
ofrense. and the man who labors has an
equal right to that proceeding
To-day the republicans do not expect 10
get the votes of the great majority OF the
laboring men, and / will give evidence
of it. AS the election approaches you Will
find more and more evidence of an attempt
to coerce. If the labOrtng men are pros
porous. if they attribute their prosperity TO
the republican party, why is 1t necessary
for an employer to threaten them with idle
ness and starvation unless they vote the
publican ticket?
Answers His Own Question.
Il will give you an answer to that ques-
ton. Whenever a man threatens to turn
you out of work if you do not vote the re-
publican ticket you tell him that if this
country is half as prosperous as republicans
say it is you will be able to get another job.
even If you do lose the one you have
Presenting his remedies for the suppress
sion of the trusts. Mr. Bryan said that he
would remove the tariff from all trust-made
articles. Closing his reference to the trusts
the speaker denounced them as indefensble
and intOlerable and compared the trust
ma nate to the hghwayman. The only
difference" he said, 1.-THE highwayman
takes greater risk and gets a little bit.
Will" the trust magnate takes little risk
and gets great deal
Views on Coal Strike.
W. j. Bryan was today asked for a state
ment of his views upon the settlement Of
the anthracite coal strike, and replied as
follows: II am very glad to learn that the
strike is settled. The fact that the men
have secured an advance is not only graft
flying but it shows that there was just
cause for their complaint. But the fact
that they were idle a month, and that the
consumers or coal have had to pay a
higher price for the coal which was the
cause of the strike, shows how important
IL is TO have arbitration for the settlement
of differences between labor and capital A
just system Of arbitration would have Sc
cured to the miners the advantage which
they have gained. and probably still
greater advantage, without the loss which
they have suffered: ii would also have
saved the public the loss which has reen
visited upon it..
