piled:
II can't help that. consider that I

BRYAN GOES TO YALE.
This Time the College Students Listen t
Him Very Resncctfully.

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 30.-The
journey Of the Bryan party from New
York this morning was uneventful At
South Norwalk and Bridgeport brief
stops We're made, many people shaking
hands with Bryan. He was escorted
to the Second Regiment armory here,
in which the meeting was held, and in
which the Yale students had gathered.
He was greeted as he entered the hall
with general cheers. When Bryan be-.
gan to speak there was general silence
in the audience, and While there We're
afterwards slight Interruptions, it
seemed evident from the beginning
that there was no intention to make
unfriendly demonstrations such as rem
dered remarkable Bryan's visit to New
Haven four years ago, when the Yale
students literally broke up the vast
open air meeting on the green. In his
speech Bryan said the republican cam
paign was confessedly a failure. He
discussed the full dinner pail' argu-
ment and trusts. Presenting his rem
edies for suppression of the trusts, Mr..
Bryan said he would remove the tariff
from all trust-made articles, and clos
ing his reference to trusts, the speak,
er denounced them as indefensible, in
tolerable and compared the trusts mag
nate to a highWayman.

BoARooF TRADES PARTISAN ACTION

ChicagO's Big Gambling Institution Takes
"a Decided stand.
Chicago, Oct. 30.-The action of the
Chicago Clearing House association in
voting to close all the banks during the
republican prosperity parade and SINH
lar action taken by the board of trade
has precipitated an i'll natured fight.
Local democratic newspapers and dem
ocratic business men are up i'll arms at
what they declare is republican will
ingness to block the business of the
city to serve a partisan cause.
One of the formal expressions from
democratic headquarters is voiced by
Chairman Jones, the other by sSecre-
tary Walsh. Secretary c. A. Walsh is
thus quoted: II am mighty glad to see
that the gmablers of the board OF
trade, who have for half century
been robbing the farmers of the west
have at last put themselves definitely
on record as the supporters of the re-
publican party. We have been trying
for twenty years to get law through
congress declaring the Chicago board
of trade gambling Institution, which
it is, and prohibiting its operations.
which are conducted for the sole pur-
pose of robbing the farmers.
II want to say to the board OF trade
men that If the democratic party ever
does get in control of>congress and the
administration the first action will be
to put through a bill that will wipe
this gigantic gambling hell off the face
of the earth. These fellows have done
very foolish thing. They ought to
know that the great mass of the farm
ing voters in the United States regard
this institution as menace to the well
being of the farmers, and will do any
thing in state legislature or congress to
crush it. Hitherto the board of trade
fellows have been sharp enough to dis
guise their political bias and pretend
that they were equally divided between
the two great parties But in this ac-
tion they have shown their hand. They
have proclaimed openly that they will
support with their money and influence
the republican party, and of course
they expect the republican party will
in turn support them. These facts will
be made very clear to the farmers
throughout the west in the next few
days, and would advise both the re-
publican party and the gamblers to
watch OUT

FLAG DAY AT CHICAGO.
Largest Outdoor Politicat Mass NIeetin,
Ever Held In Windy City.

Largest outdoor POlitica( Mass Meeting
Ever Held In Windy City.
Chicago. Oct. 30.-Probably the larg-
.st outdoor political mass meeting ever
organized in Chicago was held satur-
day night in the half mile of State
street known as the Court of Honor"
The great thoroughfare, nearly twice
the width OF any other street in Chi
cago, was thronged from Van Buren,
to Randolph streets with cheering,
1ostling and perspiring mass of people.
Chairman James K. Jones of the
democratic national committee had
designated this as flag day" and the
national banner played prominent
and spectacular part in the celebra-
ton. Portraits of Bryan and Steven
son were also numerous along the
broad street.
Along both sides Of State street
speakers stands had been erected at
short distances, and from these points
democratic orators of national promi-
nence addressed the portions of the
multitude nearest at hand. The chief
speaker was Adlai e. Stevenson. The
other orators We're Senator-elect JOS
eph G. 8. Blackburn of Kentucky;
Congressman Joseph w. Bailey, of
Texas; Former Assistant Secretary of
the Interior Webster Davis, of Mis-
SOQIli 1OfIileF governor James h.
Hogg, Of Texas: Benjamin F. Shively
of Indiana; Captain Patrick O'Ferrall,
Of Washington, ID. c.; Colonel John L.
Martin. of Missouri; Samuel Aschuler
democratic candidate for governor of
Illinois, and Mayor Carter H. Harri-
son of Chicago, besides score of local
speakers.
Escorted by the county democracy,
Mr.. Stevenson was first driven to the
stand erected near Randolph street
Seated with him in his carriage We're
Mayor Harrison and Robert E. Burke.
With great difficulty a squad of police
men cleared passage for the carriage
through the crowds that presRd OUT
ward to the car tracks and at times
made it almost impossible for the
street cars to get through. All along
the line of Randolph street the former
vice president stood up in the carriage
and bowed in response to the terrific
cheers of the crowd.
The progress of the carriage was
slow and at times the congestion of
the crowd caused it to stop altogether.
Selling these opportunities the people
pressed close to the sides Of the car
riage and forced Mr.. Stevenson to
shake hands. He seemed greatly
pleased with the demonstration.
The crowd surrounding the stand at
Van Buren, street, although very dense,
