NEW YORK. Oct. 1s.-After retiring to
his room at the Hoffman House tonight
Mr.. Bryan was asked what he thought of
his reception in New York.
1T was large and enthusiastic DEM
onstration," he said. land satisfactory
one. l don't believe there aver was so
large meeting before; in fact 1 don't
think there has ever been anything to ap-
proach it. 1t was certainly larger meet
ing than the one in 1896. After that meet
ing in the Garden l went straight to my
room at the Bartholdi Hotel and there was
not as big crowd at the hotel as there
was at any one Of the meetings l attend
ed tonight"
What do you think it means?" was
asked.
Votes" was the laconic response. "As
for the general result at the coming cleo
tion I don't care to discuss that further
than to say at the present time We have
majority of the votes"
