 Point.
HIS COMING HAD BEEN HERALDED
Was Confronted by Warning Notices Conspicuously Posted at Many Plaoes-Enthusiastic Meet
 ing at Syracuse

r Syracuse, N. Y., october lS-tton. w. d. Bryan continued his tour of the Empire State today traveling half way across 1t from East to West. He began his journey at Albany and reached here late this after noon From here he made run northward to the southern shore of Lake Ontario, and made speech of half an hours duration at ' Oswego, returning to this city to speak tonight.
 i The other points at which he spoke during the day were Schnectady, Amsterdam, Fonda, Johnstown, Gloversville, Fort Plain, A---.e Falls, Herkimer, Ilion, Frankfort, Utica, Rome, Oneida, Conastota, Chitte- nago and Dewitt. In comparatively few places was there marked enthusiasm. There was, however, close attention in every in- stance, and in no case was there any in- interruption of note. The Oswego meeting was the best attended and in other respects the most notable of the day.
 At most of his stopping places today MT. Bryan was confronted by long and conspicuously posted bills warning the peo- ple against him. These bills announced in large letters: Bryan is here," and then extracts from his speeches made in 1896 and last September, and then adding "This
 
 lapse. vote for Bryan is vote for low wages or no wages; bread riots and soup houses and hard times"
 MT. Bryan's speech at Gloversvlle was made from a temporary platform erected near the railroad track There was a large audience at that point, but the greeting was less cordial than at other places. Some boys hissed as he went through the crowd and there were queries about the ice trust and free silver In the early part of his speech Mir Bryan observed fence upon which a number of persons were sitting, ali, he said: 'I afraid they are on a Republican platform and 1t Is breaking down"
 Noting some of the Interruptions he said: From some remarks that have been made in this audience I am afraid there are some people who will never have an objection to the trust until they themselves become its victims. l have seen people who have learned by experience in the last four years what they ought to have learned by reason four years ago."
 MT. Bryan spoke from balcony in front of Stanwix Hall in Rome. His audience at this place was large and attentive. He ac- cused the Republicans of avoidance of the real issues of the campaign, and said that in the platform the Democratic position is stated with a clearness that admits of no
 
 states its position in glittering generalties and spends more time bragging about the rain that the Lord has sent than in tell ing of the imperial reign that the Repub- lican party intends to bring upon this country.
 Reference to Trusts
 Referring to the trusts in his Utica speech he said:
 If the Democratic party Is entrusted with power it is pledged to put forth every effort to destroy private monopoly in nation, state and city, and think that even the Republicans now give me credit for being honest in my determination to carry out the platform. 1 have promised that my attorney general will not come from New Jersey, and have promised that he will enforce the law"
 Closing his Rome address, MT. Bryan Bryan said:
 q believe it was here that the first American flag was raised. I want you to look at that flag. I want you to see if you can find tn that flag anything that presents subject The white stands for the purity of our nations motives; the red stands for the blood shed in the pur- chase of liberty, and the stars represent the states, and every territory sees in the future star of hope that is some day to find it's place in the constellation. But where in that flag is anything a subject or a vassal can look to and love. 1 do not want to change that flag. I would a thous- and times rather haul it down and let the Philippines have their own flag than change our flag to the flag of an empire and smear it with the blood of conquest" At one point he said: My highest ambi- ton is the same as your highest ambition should be, namely. to do what I can to make this country so good that to be pri- vate citizen here will be greater than to be. a King CG any other nation on earth" The Canasota speech was made from a carriage the railroad station, and was addressed to farmers MT. Bryan here re- peated his declarat tion that the Republicans had amended the commandment so as to read: Thou shalt not steal-on a small scale," and suggested another amendment to the Ten Commandments being in consonance with the Republican polcles making one of. them read: Thou shalt not kill unless there are more of you than of the other fellow"
 At Dewitt there was a number of railroad men in MT. Bryans audience. He spoke to them of the "full dinner pail" He said that even If there was fp(l qlpner pail for the iaboring man 1t would be impossible to trace it's existence to the Republican party. "The labor organizations of the country" he said, "have done more for labor in the past few years than the Republican party could do ip q century"
 He said that the newspaper organ of the Locomotive Bremen had been reduced in size because of an increased price of paper, due to the paper trust, and added that the
