ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. NV. J. Bryan
resumed his Republican vote-making tour
to-day. He started out of New York city
this morning fresh from the caresses of
the Tammany tiger. He evidently saw
nothing wrong in his conduct yesterday
when he partook of Croker's hospitality
and Toasted on the profits of the ice trust,
for he renewed his denunciation of trusts
in his speeches to-day. Republicans are
commenting on the shameless hypocrisy of
Mr.. Bryan in threatening to wipe out all
trusts and then parading himself with the
Democratic ice and sugar trust magnates.
They also say Mr.. Bryan shows he is be-
yond all shame when he pictures the al
legged poverty of the working classes n
then sits down to a $12-a-plate dinner. paid
for by men who have lined their pockets
with the "squeezings" of the ice trust and
the bleeding of disreputable men and
women in New York city, as Tammanyites
have done. Another incident that is causing
comment among Republicans is Mr..
Bryan's speech at Sing Sing to-day, when
he slurred the full dinner pail in his
allusion to penitentiary convicts How
ever, as many of the inmates of the
prison are Mr.. Croker's former subjects of
New York city, Mr.. Bryan may have in
tended to please them and thus repay some
of the kind treatment accorded hin by Mr..
Croker.
Mr.. Bryan ran around two sides of a
triangle to-day from Hudson to Albany.
inclusive, and probably spoke to as cos
mopolitan a lot of people as he has adj
dressed during the campaign. AT Hudson he
spoke to a gathering of business people
of all classes, at Troy to the capacity of
an opera house and with an overflow meet
ing of collar factory and laundry employees;
at Mechanicsville to railroad people; at
Cohoes to the mass of the employees of the
cotton and wooden mills, and at Albany to
two meetings, one in the opera house and
enc outside. During the trip Mr.. Bryan was
accompanied by the chairman of the State
committee, Frank Campbell, Judge c. N.
Bulger, of Oswego; ex-senator Ed
ward Murphy, ex-Mayor Francis Malloy, of
Troy; Mayor Samuel NJ. Jones, of Toledo.
and j. j. Delaney, of New York. The great
meetings of the trip were held at Troy, the
home of ex-senator Murphy, and Albany,
the home of ex-senator Hill.
FIRST SPEECH AT YONKERS.
The first stop of the Bryan train this
morning was at Yonkers. Mr.. Eryan spoke
briefly. He took up the subject of trusts
and warned his hearers against all pri-
vate monopolies.
Mr.. Bryan spoke for five minutes from
the rear platform of the Rambler to a good
crowd at Tarrytown, saying: "rhe des-
tiny of this Nation depends, not upon the
leaders, but upon the voters. No President
can convert a republic into al empire
without the consent OF the American peo-
pie. No President car turn this Nation over
to the despotism of private monopolies
without the consent of the people. You
have a cnance to sit in Judgment upon the
action of the administration. The Repuo-
licans say we are trying to array one class
of society against another. 1 say We are
not. We are trying to reach all classes of
society and to do justice among all, and.
instead of trying to array the rich against
the poor, we want the rich n the poor
to become better acquainted. l have never
heard OF two heavens, one for the rich aud
one for the poor. L can do some good II l
can get the rich and poor acquainted here
on earth so that they will know each other
when they meet across the river"
Five-minute stops were made at Sing
Sing, Peekskill. Cold Spring and Fishkill.
At Newburg Mr.. Bryan and his party re-
NAMED an hour. At Sing Sing he referred
to the location of the State Penitentiary
at that point and said:
Il DelleVe tnlS Is Wnere you nave the
State Prison. This is where you have a
great many people who have a full dinner
pail because the State always gives the
prisoners a full dinner pail. but while they
are given a dinner pail they are deprived
of their liberty, and when the trusts offer
the full dinner pail TO an American work.
man / want you to know that they offer ii
in return for the surrender of the liberty
of the individual. The ~despotism of a
monopoly is almost as bad as the confine-
ment of the penitentiary. You want "a
chance to be independent, the trust takes
it away from you"
AT DEPEW'S HOME.
In his brief speech at Peekskill Mr.. Bryan
referred to Senator Depew. whose home is
located at this point, saying:
.I am Surprised to find so many peoplc
here, for L supposed that in this
ty. where your distinguished senator lives.
you would be afraid of me as a dangerous
man. 1t is gratifying to find that so many
of you have formed your opinion from read
ing other speeches and other articles than
those which emanate from your senator. L

there are so many other laboring men vino

ment here and your senator is a good man

AT NeWDuTS MI bryan spoke 10 q crowd
of several thousand people from a stand
In front of the courthouse. He charged
the Republican party with dishonesty In
its dealings with the people, and in sup
port of this statement cited the attitude
of that party towards the trusts. which
was, he said. enirely inconsistent with
what the President had promised. He read
an editorial article from a Newburg news
paper concerning the trusts. which. he
said, was an effort to convince the people
that the trusts are administered in their
interest. II want you 10 know" said Mr..
Bryan, that the National Biscuit Com
