The age-herald., 1900-10-17


 the one word equality
 ''It seems to me that we must stand like a wall of adamdnt for this principle, and if we can see that 1t is right for the Filipinos to be governed by brute force against their will. we have no reason to complain If the
 same tactics shall be tried on us"
 Mir. stanchnp,d
 The four or five thousand who had re- mained to hear MT. Davis and Mir Jones cheered MT. Stanchhed when he was in-
 troduced. MT Stanchield said:
 "The independent voters are a barrier of honest breasts against the sweep of the sem
 timent that it is safe, politically, for public servants to yield to selhshness, corruption and oppress sion. I confess a wholesale fear of the independent voter. l shall strive to win and keep his regard.
 "Felow c.-<zens, New York of 1900 is not the New York of four years ago. The diff ferences that divided us have long since passed away. The great Democratic states of the South and West in years that are gone, have contributed loyal and patri- 1 otic support to Presidential candidates | from the Empire State. Let us gather to- i gether for the final battle and place New | York in the Democratic column Out of | the principles enuneiated in the platform 1 of Kansas City will come a new people. | The dangerous desire for the accumula- | ton of ill-gotten wealth will be checked. | The great middle classes whose thrift and | industry constitute the nations strength | will have a controlling voice in the Feder- | al administI ation"
 At the close of MT. Stanchields address, Chairman Sheppard introduced William E. | Mackey, candidate for Lieutenant Gov l ernor, the last speaker.
 MT. Mackey spoke briefly, stating that | he would not longer prolong the meeting | and keep the crowd waiting. When he cor cluded the band struck up Dixie" and the small remaining portion of the crowd | filed out
 Open Air Meeting The crowd then surged about the open air stand at Madison avenue and Twenty fourth street, crushing the weak and al- most smotherng those who were so tightly | packed in that the air, which reeked with the fumes of Greek fire could not reach | them. The crowd may have numbered 20,000, and there was not one in that throng | who cared to hear any one else but | Bryan.
 Congressman John M. Quinn started to 1 speak, but gave 1t up in disgust when the l band started to play.
 | Augustus T. Doherty, Assistant District
 Attorney Osborne, Lindsay Gordon, J. | Hamilton Lewis, D. J. Cavanaugh and | others tried to speak but the crowd gave | them small chances.
 It was shortly after 9 o'clock when the ! cavalcade heading the Bryan party rode 1 down Madison avenue to the stand. The 1 carriages could not drive within fifty feet of it and Colonel Bryan, MT Croker, MT.
 Hearst and James Shelvin of Brooklyn
 who were in the carriages, walked to the
 stand.
 The ovation to the candidate was deaf
 ening loud and prolonged. Colonel Bryan
 stood facing the crowd and uncovered his
 head, but the bombs were exploding in the | air overhead and the fire from one almost i struck him. MT. Bryan drew away as If to i dodge it. Colonel Bryan said: MT. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen 1 I have been talking indoors until l am l warm, and I am afraid to expose myself l in the open air. You can read in the morn- 1 ing papers what l have said. but l have l said enough and you read enough to know
 the issues and my opinions in regard to them
 We want to make this government what the fathers intended to make it, and give equal rights to all and special privileges to none. If by your suffrages l am made President, l will not try to get your hands
 in other peoples pockets. l shall be satis- fled to keep other peoples hands out Of your pockets If you believe the trust | good thing vote the Republican ticket and | get all you want of it. If you believe the trusts are bad vote our ticket. If you be- lieve in a large army vote the Republican | ticket and get it. If you believe in small army, we promise you that you shall have small army and a government so good that every citizen will be willing to be- come a SOluleT tO DIeSSTNe lLe government to prosperity If you want imperialism vote the Republican ticket. If our party is entrusted with power we will say to the Filipino and all the world that our purpose is not to govern the Filippinos, but establish a government for them that will be theirs and not ours. We will say to the world, hands off Let that republic live and work out its own destiny" The minute MT. Bryan stopped speak
 ing MT. Croker took his arm and led him
 to the rear of the stand, to see the
 crowd assembled there He waved his hat
 to them and MT. Crocker said Did you ever seen anything like it?'' ''Wonderfu wonderful" Colonel Bryan said.
 At Tamms ny Hall
 The trip to Tammany Hall was made
 through streets lined with cheering thous-
 ands Colonel Bryan and his party arrived
 at 925. Senator Mackey was speaking, but
 as soon the crowd recognized Bryan 1t
 rose to it's feet and cheered for several
 minutes. When the cheering had continued
 for a couple of minutes MT. Bryan raised
 his hand and as soon as he was able to
 speak, began:
 MT. Chairman, Ladies and Gentemen:
 I hope you will excuse my appearance. I
 have been trying to talk to all the people
 ef New York, and I am afraid that I show
 the effects of the exertion. But I am here
 a moment to express my appreciation of
 the Work that Is being done Tn this cam
 raign by this great Tammany organization.
 I heard of Tammany Hall before Tammany
 Hall ever heard of me. l came here sev-
 eral years ago on the Fourth of July, and
 I was pleased to learn that this society
 had made it a rule to celebrate the anni-
 versary of the nations birth. One hunderd and twenty-four years ago on the Fourth
 of last July this nation gave to the world
 the greatest document ever drafted by man.
 On the Fourth of July last, the Queen of England celebrated the anniversary of our nations birth day by issuing an order for the over- throw of two Republics. What a change in l24 years. For 124 years or more the Republican party observed the Fourth of July, but the Republican party this year was not alarmed when our nations birth day anniversary was used for the signing
