SECOND TOUR OF NEW YORK.
Mr.. Bryan Greeted by Large Crowds
on HIS Flying Trip.
. NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Mr Bryan's run
through the State today was the pleasant
est he has had in New York. There were
no disagreeable incidents. The crowds
which came to hear him were larger and
more cordial than on any previous
day, and while the candidate made
more speeches. counting these delivered
at night in New York and Brooklyn, than
ever before in one day. he was buoyed up
greatly by the demonstrations which met
him. All told. today he made thirty
speeches. The best he had ever dcne le
fore was in the campaign of 1885, when he
made twenty-six.
Another cause for Mr.. Bryan's good
spirits was the presence in the train Of
Mrs. Bryan. and to this fact was also due
in some measure the reception accorded
the Nebraskan. The fact that Mrs.> Bryan
was on board was known all along the
line. andsin addition to the large number
of people anxious to see Mr.. Bryan there
was an added number, especially Of
Women, who were DESTROYS of seeing his
wife.
They crowded about the train at all
stops, and the women were often so in
sistcnt upon being permitted to enter the
car to see Mrs. Bryan that there was no
denying them. She was showered with
flowers from one end of the road TO the
other. She shock hands like regular
politician with as much energy and en-
thusiasm as her husband.
Mrs. Bryan has a pleasing personality.
and she did not let any opportunity pass
TO make friends for her husband. When
he left the train to take the platform
where stops of more than five minutes
were made. she often accompanied him.
When the train pulled cut after the
speechmaking was over she always stood
by his side on the rear platform of his
car, handshaking as long as admirers
could pursue, smiling and waving as long
as they were in sight.
Arrival mt Bninbridge.
The Bryan special arrives at cambridge,
Chenango County, at o'clock in the morn
ing, having left New York the night be-
fore. In the party were Mr.. and Mrs.
Elliot Danforth, James Dahlman, national
committeeman from Nebraska: John n
eururrv, rrate committeeman from Jeffer-
son County: Councilman Stewart NJ. Brice,
Cornell University Bryan Club, who were
along as Mr.. Bryan's invited guests.
The meeting at .Bainbridge, which is the
Eome town of Mr.. Danforth, was held at
$3.50 o'clock, in the public square. Elabor-
ate preparations had been made to receive
Mr.. Bryan. Special trains were run from
the surrounding towns, and when Mr.. Bry-
an began 10 speak there were more people
in front of him than lived in the village.
Iflra l.. a
drum corps.
Mr.. Bryan was introduced by Elliot
Danforth, and said:
Il extended the time OF my stay in New
York in order to come up into this part
of the State. When / came to New York
City in-August of 1896. to open the cam
paign there in what was then described
as the enemy's country. Mr.. Danforth pre-
sided at our meeting, and / have always
remembered with much pleasure and
gratitude the heroic service he did for US
then and j was glad to give more time to
New York in order to come up into this
country and to speak in the country where
he votes.
Il am tlad to talk to farmers. for 1t
seems to- me that II the people of this
county who are working on the farm, who
are making their living out of the soil,
will examine public questions that very
few farmers will be able to give reason
for voting the Republican ticket. In this
part of New York you have a great many
Republican farmers, in fact, the Republic
cans have now admitted that the cities
are lost. They started out with the full
dinner pail as an argument. They started
out with the assertion that the country
was prosperous and that, therefore, every
body would vote the Republican ticket,
and yet today the Republicans are not
mentioning the full dinner pail any more"
In conclusion Mr.. Bryan said that the
had abandoned the idea of car
rying the cities, and were now appealing
to the farmers.
The Speech mt Sidney.
A quick run was made to Sidney, Mr..
Bryan's second stopping place. He was
cheered when he appeared
on the platform of the private car. Mr..
Bryan said, in part:
.If trust is good thing. why did the
Republican platform denounce the trusts
and if trust is bad thing, why did the
Republican party allow more trusts to be
within the last three and half
years than in all the previous history of
the country? If the Republican party has
found no way of preventing the trusts in
the last three years and half, do you at
tribute it to the lack of knowledge on the
subject or lack Of purpose. and il after
three years experience the Republican
party has not been able to destroy the
trusts, are you willing to give it four-years
more in which 10 undo what it has been
doing?
And IL 1t lacks purpose rather than a
knowledge of the subject, are you willing
to trust the Administration to people who
do not propose to protect the common
people from the extortion practiced by
these syndicates, which are today raising
prices as soon as they can secure control
of trade, and are holding in their hands
the laboring men, so that just before
election they can threaten them with
idleness and starvation il they do not sur
render their suffrage into the hands Of
the trust magnate.
do you believe in an army of one hun
dred thousand? II you do you can vote
the Republican ticket with the assurance
that you will get such an army, because
the President on the 9Th day of Deem
Der, 1898, asked for an army of one hun
dred thousand. We had only twenty-six
thousand when this Administration came
in, and none Of you ever voted for a larg,
army, but you will vote for one IL you
vote the Republican ticket. and thus ap- |
prove OF the recommendation.
do you believe in a colonial policy? Our |
torefathers did not 12a years ago, and yet |
he Porto Rican bill is built upon the same |
heory that England built her colonial pol |
cy on n century and a quarter ago.
What is your title to the Filipino! Did
