william J. Bryan yesterday made his second
visit 10 New-York since the present campaign
opened. When Mr.. Bryan came the first time in
this campaign he was met at the station by
Richard Croker and the Tammany Hall commit
tee: he was the guest at elaborate dinner ar
ranged for him by Mr.. Croker. and he spoke IN
the evening at meetings which Mr.. Croker or
ganized and stood sponsor for. So happy was
Mr.. Bryan as a result Of this reception that at
the Cooper Union meeting he threw his hands
aloft and in fervent tones exclaimed: Great
is Tammany and Croker is its prophet"
This utterance went broadcast over the coun-
try with an account Of the meetings Croker or
ganized and carried out. The Democrats Of
the South and West who love Bryan and hate
Croker and his methods. were deeply chagrined
and angered at the candidates surrender to the
Tammany boss. Bryan was freely denounced
as Cookers man." and il said that for
every vote he made by going over TO Tammany
he lost q hundred among his old time supporters.
This worried Mr.. Bryan and his lieutenants and
IL was arranged that at the meetings and
ception yesterday Croker and Tammany should
stand in the background, and the National
League Of Democratic Clubs and the younger
Democrats Of the East appear in front This
programme was carried out. and little was seen
or heard Of Nj Croker and the Tammany lead
ers amid the uproar of yesterday.
Mr. Brvan's second entrance into the city
since this campaign started was made at late
hour on Friday night, and his stay was brief
He came il from Newark, y. J., where he had
been speaking about midnight He looked
Thoroughly tired out. and hurried directly 10 his
room After brief conference with ex-Gov-
ernor stone and Mayor Mcclure he went to bed
and slept until o'clock yesterday morning
Then. after hurried breakfast, he was driven
10 the Grand Central Station. where he took
the 9.04 o'clock train for New-Haven There
he made an address TO the Yale students About
one hundred Of these students, reinforced by
seven hundred members Of Democratic clubs
from various points along the line and some
members Of the Harvard Bryan Club, returned
u New York with Mr.. Bryan.
On his way back the candidate went into the
with the Yale boys. and seemed to find
great deal OF pleasure in chatting with them
The students all carried light canes with bows
Of blue ribbon on them. One Of them gave Mr.
Bryan his cane.
HARD TO PRESERVE ORDER
When the train came in Captain Price, with
one hundred Of his tallest policemen, was on
hand TO preserve order. Despite the strong
police guard. the crowd pushed and jostled to
get sight Of Mr.. Bryan It was $50 o'clock
when the train arrived. ". r Hearst, pres-
dent Of the National Association Of Democratic
Clubs, hand TO meet Mr. Bryan. He
was accompanied by James Oliver formerly

saecticut, and Alexander V Troup. former Ma
Iional Committeeman. who left the party In
1896 because he could not subscribe TO the free
-
coined hands with Mr.. Bryan.
NJ. Hearst found IL difficult TO make his way
through the crowd 10 the train, and II only
by the most strenuous efforts Of the police that
e path was opened up. AS Nj Bryan. wearing
HIS perpetual candidate smile and with bare
head, stepped OF the train he was taken IN
charge by Mr.. Hearst He was received at the
Grand Central Station with the Yale yell from
one hundred students who focked from the rear
cars Of the train rs soon as it drew in.
The students Immediately surrounded Mr..
Bryan, and apparently each one was anxious TO
get a section OF his coat as a souvenir of the
occasion. They grabbed him from all sides.
Knocked his hat down over his eyes pulled his
necktie awry. and for a few moments the per
petual candidate acted as II he did not like II.
Captain Price ard his tall policemen came 10
the rescue. They made a charge on the college
boys drive them TO one side so that they
could not crush Colonel Bryan to death The
students resented this. and began to strike out
al the policemen, bat the vigorous New-York
bIuecoats soon cleared them away and formed
them IL line.
