fires were thick that while they lighted
the pr asidentiaI ca dates pathway, they
hIled the atmosphere so densely with DIS
agreeable fumes that some of his admir-

his throat. This alarm, however, was
baseless. as was proved by the fact that
did TO the immense audience whlch sur
rounded his platform at this meeting
Mr.. Bryan's train arrived at Marion, a
suburb Of Jersey city, at S:l5 o clock and
he was driven, after a brief meeting at
that place, to st. Joseph's hall, his first
stopping place in Jersey City At Marion
Mr. Bryan was received by committees
from the various Jersey City ward clubs
and by throng of people who filled all
the available space in the vicinity of the
station In his Marion speech he gave his
principal attention to urging the voters
creed or persuaded into voting contrary
to their convictions at the coming cleo
ton.
Mr.. Bryan made his tour of the Jersey
metropolis drawn by four spirited black
horses, and he was escorted by a march
ing club of several hundred young men.
The tour covered a wide range of terri
tory and did not come to an end until
speeches, the first at St Joseph's hall.
the second at the Tabernacle, the third
at st. Peters hall and the fourth at St.

accla1ms on the part of the people and
the liberal discharge of fireworks.
Everywhere he was accompanied by
dozen stalWart policemen, who kept at a
distance the crowd which everywhere
seemed disposed to press in and embrace
him.
The streets everywhere were crowded
and many houses were brilliantly Hum
mated until late at night in honor of the
occasion The halls at which speeches
were made were crowded to their utmost
capacity.
Mr. Bryan's speeches were all neces-
sarily brief, but in each of them he found
opportunity to express his views upon the
subjects agitating the voting public. lie
undertook in each of them to show that
the trusts are expressing the people: that
there is great danger under Republican
needs for Legitimate purposes and that
there is great danger of drifting into i'm
perialism, if the country adopts colonial
In addition to the hail meetings Mr..
Bryan addressed two immense crowds on
the streets.
