Crowd Lets Its Enthusiasm Have
Full Play.
New York, Oct. 29.-Bryan's second
coming to this city was the occasion
Saturday night of one of
the greatest political demonstra-
lions of the campaign. Four
teen thousand people heard the
democratic candidate speak at Madi-
son Square Garden. He had been
speaking all day. Saturday morning
was spent at New Raven, and in the
afternoon he made several addresses at
points between New Haven and this
city. He was accompanied to this city
by 200 Yale students. When he arriv-
ed at the Grand Central station there
were more than 5000 persons to greet
him. He spent the remainder of the
afternoon at the Hoffman house where
he went over the business of the
campaign with the leaders. After a
dinner in his honor, at which there
were forty-five guests, he witnessed a
great pyrotechnic display. The sky
was carpeted with red and Madison
Square was ablaze in his honor when
the carriage which was to take him
on his tour appeared. The streets
were crowded with people, and
the trip to Madison Square Garden
was triumphal one. The first stop
was at the Broadway Athletic club
where Bryan spoke to 10000 enthusi-
astic people, the majority of whom
were Italians.
He reached Cooper Union about 8
of Germans Bryan drove to the cor
avenue, where he made speech from
the carriage to crowd of 5000. He
made another speech from the car
riage to gathering at Twentieth
street and Second avenue.
Bryan's Madison Square speech was
not begun until after 10. 1t was adj
dressed to the Independent class main
ly. From the time he entered the hall
until he quit speaking outside the hall
was ringing with cheers.
AS climax to the day he made two
other out-of-door speeches. The first
was from stand near the Dewey
arch, where he talked to $4,000 per-
sons who could not get into the Madi-
son Square Garden. He made another
short speech at Madison avenue and
Twenty-fourth street. He was driven
to the Hoffman house. where he re-
tired for the night.
Bryan's Speech.
In his Madison Square speech Bryan
said in part:
81 am glad to be here tonight, not
only for the opportunity it gives me
to meet again the people of New York,
but because l am glad to give express
sion to my appreciation of the great
work which has been done and is be-
ing done by the National Association
of Democratic clubs and by the able
and efficient president of the associa-
.tion, Mr.. Hearst. The clubs have been
of great assistance in perfecting the
organization Of the party, in collecting
money for the campaign, and the liber-
atty of the president of the associa-
tion has been an inspiration to the
members of the clubs. The work re-
naming for the clubs to do is to get
out the vote to the polls and guard the
count.
A Text From the Proverbs.
"In searching for text for this
evenings speech, found a passage in
Proverbs, which sets forth the thought
which l desire to impress upon you.
You will find it in the twenty-second
chapter and the twenty-eighth verse:
Remove not the ancient landmarks
which thy fathers have set

party is the revolutionary party. The

principles to new conditions; the re.
