NEW YORK, Oct. 16-These resolu
lions were adopted at the several Demo
cratic mass meetings at Madison Square
Garden, Madison Avenue and Fourteenth
Street, Tammany Hall, and Cooper Union
at which Mr.. Bryan spoke tonight:
"The Democracy OF Greater New
York joyfully welcomes to the metro
polls and the State the intrepid and
steadfast leader Of the National Demo-
cracy. William Jennings Bryan. and
pledges to his candidacy for the
Presidency of the United States it's
united. enthusiastic, and invincible
support.
Nominated with singular unani-
nifty to represent the cause OF the
plain people in the present crisis of
our national affairs, at time when it
is attempted to substitute the i'm
perial rule of moneyed syndicates for
the constitutional government of the
people, when all the influence of the
national Administration is exerted to
foster industrial conditions that de-
stroy the free field and fair compete
tion in and by which individual enter
prise was encouraged in Democratic
times, and when our political oppon-
ents scoff at and deride the cardinal
principle of legitimate authority that
all Governments derive their Just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned, tao candidacy of Mr.. Bryan Is
an inspiration and hope to every citi-
zen who believes that ours should be
government OF the people, by the peo-
pie. and for the people, under which
the blessings and advantages which
come to the Republic should be shared
by all and not perverted to the exclu-
sive enjoyment Of the privileged few.
I'VE greet with respect. admiration.
and affection the Democratic candidate
for the Vice Presidency, Adlai E. Stew
enson. His sterling Democracy, his un-
daunted courage. and his sound states
manship have once been recognized by
his countrymen in their election of
him by an overwhelming majority to
the office for which he is again a can
didate at the unanimous call OF his
party.
Eve declare our unqualified approval
of the principles embodied in the plat
ava IA oNoptSN W INC LShiOSiaSiS Soh-
vention at Kansas City in July Of this
year
We arc opposed to imperialism. We
protest against the maintenance Of an
enormous standing army as not only
unnecessary, brt dangerous to the life
and prosperity Of the Republic. In
every emergency OUR national honor
and integrity have been protected by
the volunteer army Of the Republic,
and in the future our citizenship may
be relied upon to respond to any call
to arms in defence of liberty and the
protection of popular rights. We recog-
nize in distant territorial possessions
not intended for statehood, and domi-
mated by governing authority I'M
known to and at war with the limita-
tons OF our Constitution. according in
fiuence that burdens the people with
great expense, and presents ready OPP
portunities for official plundering
I'VE are opposed to all entangling
foreign alliances. We demand that
the foreign policy of our country shall
make for Ire extension of republican
institutions aid not be shaped in aid
of the schemes or aggressions of any
monarchical power.
We heartily sympathize with the
heroic Beers in their efforts to main
