10y Telegraph To Nlrginidn- PilOt)
New Haven, Conn, Oct. 27.-The
Yale students to-day had their first
meeting of the present campaign with
Mr.. Bryan When Mr.. Bryan first Wis
tied this city during the Presidential
contest of 1886 he was not given
very agreeable reception. Twice since
that time he has lectured here very
successfully, speaking on other than
political themes.
Mr.. Bryan arrived at II O'Clock and
was escorted directly to the Second
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 responses He's all right
When MIR. Bryan began TO speak
there was general silence in the an
dience. and while there were after
wards slight Interruptions it seemed
evident from the beginning that there
was no intention to make unfriendly
demonstrations such as rendered re-
markable Mr.. Bryans visit 10 New
Haven four years ago. when Yale
students literally broke up u vast open
air meeting on the green.
THE TRUSTS DISCUSSED.
Mr.. Bryan discussed fruits and i'm
perialism along the usual lines. In
speaking OF trusts. be said:
Last night ut Il banquet in New York
TO the Republican candidate for Vice
President, Senator Scott, of West Vir-
sina, made statement that l am go
ing TO read to you. He said:
Right here j want to say that l
believe in trusts. They are a good
thing and then recognizing that he
h IL Il RI hi
publican to say in u campaign he turn
ed and said: II that newspaper man
put that down L will make trouble for
him.
WITH REFERENCE TO SILVER.
Mr.. Bryan was upon the point of clos
ing his speech when some one in a dis
tant part of the hall made an inquiry
vigorously and in a sharply accented
tone of voice. He said:
Il want to remind the man who
wants to know about silver that you do
not have to ask questions to find out
our policy on the question. If the gen.
tleman can read he can read platform
that states partys position so that
even n Republican can understand it.
and IL he has not had time to read the
platform and knows anything OF me
he knows where 1 stand, whether there
is Il platform or not. When the money
question was paramount we talked
about it and the Republicans wanted
to talk about the tariff and now when
the Republicans assail the principles
of government instead of defending the
policy of Imperialism they want to talk
about the money question. The money
question can be settled at any time.
The question of government must be
settled now. You can live under any
kind of money standard and believe in
free government
