wherever he spoke, and the same respect
full attention was given him wherever he
appeared. After leaving Hoboken the first
stop was made at Harrison, where a
crowd of three thousand people greeted
Mr.. Bryan, when his train stopped at the
Jersey street crossing. There were men,
women and children in the crowd, and

but it was 1905 when it arrived.
Mr.. Bryan's reception in Harrison was
one that he will not forget. For three
minutes the cheering lasted.
The candidate stood on the back plat
| form of the train. Robert Davis, of Jer-
! sey City, stood on one side of him and
Town Treasurer Edward J. Grace, of
Harrison, on the other.
| AS soon as the applause subsidized, Mr.
Grace, who had accompanied Bryan from
Jersey City, introduced the candidate
! who spoke for fifteen minutes on trusts
| and imperialism. When he concluded a
large number shook his hand.
| While the train was on the way to Har-
rison from Hoboken Mr.. Grace presented
Mr.. Bryan with memorial:
| Orange gave Bryan a rousing reception,
and fully 5000 people, half of whom were
| Republicans, listened to a speech made by
! the Democratic candidate from the band
stand in Military Park The crowds be-
gan to gather about the park at 9 o'clock
and trolley cars were blocked, and Main
| street, from Hickory street to Garfield
! street, was solid mass of humanity long
before the special train with the candidate
| on board arrived, half an hour late.
! Mr.. Bryan talked half an hour and was
| interrupted by few times by either ques-
/ tions or applause. BY request of the
| Mayor the crowds gathered around the
park, and there was a crowd of less than
| 800 people at the Lackawanna station to
/ see him when the train arrived. The cam
| didates party was placed in carriages and
| driven directly to the park, the progress
| of the carriages being accompanied by a
| continuous discharge of fire crackers and
| a bowling mob of men and boys who ran
beside the carriage in which Mr.. Bryan
sat bare-headed with Mayor Henry Stet-
son by his side. The carriage, an open
| barouche, was drawn by team of milk
i white horses, driven by Aaron Burtt a
! prominent Democrat. Fifty camera fiends
snapped picture after picture from roofs,
porches and every available place in the
neighborhood.

| Stetson as the next President. Previous
to the candidates arrival James M. Bel

| had been introduced to the crowd, but
made no speech. Immediately after Mr..
| Bryan arose, and while he was waiting

American beauty roses, saying: Mr..
Bryan, these roses are the pride of the
American people, and SO are you"
| The Democratic candidate accepted the
roses and began to talk, without further
preliminaries.
4 AS the candidate left his carriage to
climb aboard the car, rush of people
| bore down on him and despite the efforts
of his escorts turned him around and for
a moment it looked as if he would be
drawn back to his coach.
Police Captain Leary called his men
quickly and charged the enthusiasts and
lrescued the candidate. Then the Cap
tain lifted him up and the trouble was at
an end Mr. Bryan took the mauling

The people at the rear of the train
yelled for speech and Mr.. Bryan talked
70 them for about two minutes.

said, where you have Democratic
Mayor and city officials, and whence a
big Democratic vote can always be ex-
| pected."
This brought out cheers.
On the run to Summit the candidate
rested in his stateroom, positively declin-
ing to see any one except his attendants.
Il will have three big meetings in New
ARK tonight, and a number of smaller
ones between times, and / will have to
save myself he said. 81 wish to be in
good condition when I speak in Newark.

Mr. Bryan took a rest between South
Orange and Summit, not because he was
tagged, for it was remarked that he ap-
peared to be remarkably clipper after his
ordeal of yesterday. but to husband his
strength and keep himself in as good con-
