TROY RADIANT
1t was in Troy and Albany however which
have many thousands of Democrats within
their borders, that Mr.. Bryan received his most
cordial welcome There were thousands of per-
sons in the streets of Troy along which Mr.
Bryan passed in his carriage on his wav to
Rand's Opera House. where he was to deliver
his speech. Here Charles N Bulger made an
amusing speech. He it was, II will be remem-
bered. who so saVagely attacked Richard C'ro-er
and the other Tammany Hall leaders at the
Democratic State Convention Mr. BuIger said
without wink at Troy to-day: Tt cannot but
be a source of rejoicing that the Democrats of
New-York are united in this campaign The
Republican press asserts that there is disunion
and dissension in the Democratic party but we
know that your great Senator. Edward Murphy
jr (applause). and that great Democrat of Dem
ocrats, David B Hill (appause). stand shoulder
TO shoulder, working to carry this State for
William Jennings Bryan I beg the Democrats
throughout the State to remember that the
Democratic party is united. and that if they are
united the State VIII give its vote TO Bryan and
Stanchf1eld
Mr. Bryan in his speech said that if he made
half Of the money the Republicans charged him
with making since 1895 he could afford to have
{ the Republican party win and go on making
money by crticsing the Administration. The
( Reuublcans he also declared predicted financial
/ trouble If the Democratic party should come into
power at Washington the coming year. but he
was glad to that Edward Murphy, jr., was
not afraid TO risk his wealth and was support
ing Loyalty the Democratic candidates. He asked
votes for the Democratic candidates for Con
gresSmen as well as for himself, saying that II
he should be elected President he did not wish
merely to be a distributor Of patronage, but
would wish also to have legislation.
Does this mean a repeal of the gold currency
act?
viYe in Saratoga County, and at Cohoes, in this
county When he arrived here he was taken
to the Ten Eyck Hotel There was big parade
Of Democratic clubs in his honor tonight

Bryan addressed audience which filled the
Empire Theatre. Many prominent Democrats
were present. among them being Alton Is. Far
ktr Chief Judge of the Court Of Appeals, who

the Court Of Appeals, Justice D. Cady Rerrick.
Of the Supreme Court, and John Boyd Thacher,
who was nominated for Governor by the Demo
Gratis in 1896 but who declined the nomination

Democratic State Committee from this district,
in charge of the meeting. Speeches were
made by Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Jones and Mr. Delaney
Mr.. Bryan again touched lightly upon the cur
rency topic.
Tomorrow he will deliver speeches at a good
many places in the Mohawk Valley, and finally
at Oswego in the evening.
Mr.. Bryan in his speech here tonight said:
If the gold standard was so good. why did the
Republican Administration send commission
abroad at expense of 100000 to get the
moneyed men out of a hole? Mr. Gage was max
ing gold standard speeches in the United States
while the Commission abroad trying to get
rid Of the gold standard No Republican will de-
fcnd a permanent debt, vet the Republican Cur
rency bill proposes TO bring that about. If you
have banknOtes resting on bonds, you have got
TO issue bonds perpetually. People will have to
pay perpetual interest on bonds they issue to
protect their money But Republicans only
thrust the money question into this campaign to
get away from the more important issue. They
cent citizenship in Porto Rico and less per
centage in the Philippines.
