PHILIPPINES DWELT ON
Democratic Candidate for President
Well Received in Eastern
Towns,

NEW YORK, oct. 26.-The second
day of Mr.. Bryans campaign tour OF
New Jersey began in Hoboken to-day
with a meeting in the Lyric Theatre.
When Mr.. Bryan stepped upon the
platform he appeared somewhat IA
tlgued but as his speech progressed,
he soon regained his wound vivacity.
He said that he believed that when
Democratic principles as now present
ed were throughly understood they
would be received as favorably in the
East as in the West. He contrasted his
reception in the East at this time with
the reception in 1896. He said:
II did not complain when men left
us in 1896 for | have always contended
that a mans vote was his own and
that he had a right to do with it as he
pleased, and l never doubted but that
the great mass of those who left us in
1896 left us because they honestly
thought that my election would be
harmful to the country. / cannot de-
spise the man who places his country
above his party, even though l may
be the loser by his act. But the prin-
ciple which runs through Republican
policies has become apparent on these
contended in 1896 that the Republican
party was giving too much considera-
ton to wealth and too little to human
rights, but since 1896 the Republican
party has shown its disregard of hui
man rights in ways that we did not
dream Of then"
Mr.. Bryan denounced the trusts as
industrial ,despots' and declared that
the Republican party was fostering
them. He did not believe there could
be good monopoly in private hands
until God sends angels to take charge
of them and he added: From our eX-
perience, we are inclined to think that
the angels now in charge came not
from above, but from below
Someone has said" Mr.. Bryan con-
tinued that he did not object to the
bed-bug SO much, but that he did OBJ
ject to the way he made living. So
we object TO the trusts" The COM
parison caused loud applause.
Mr.. Bryan predicted that If the re-
cent increase of the army to 100000 men
was endorsed by voting the Republican
ticket next November, there would
continue to be increases until the arm
ed force would be sufficient to COM
pletely awe the people.
Taking up the question of the Philip
pines Mr.. Bryan gave what he said was
a Republican speech in support of the
Republican policy. This presentation
was as follows:
I'VE are very sorry we got the Phil
ippine Islands; we did not intend to
get them, but they were thrown into
our lap, and it is our duty to keep them.
God commands ii and it will pay"
Mr.. Bryan then related the biblical
story of Naboth's vineyard and said:
Il wish that on the Sunday before
election every preacher in the United
States would take as his text that story
of Naboth's vineyard and / will tell
you how they would treat it. Every OPP
ponent of Imperialism would condemn
Ahab for wanting the vineyard and ev-
cry imperialistic preacher would con-
denim Naboth for not letting Ahab have
it"
A large crowd followed Mr. Bryan
from the theatre to the railroad station
and called DANGEROUSLY for speech,
and he made a brief address from the
rear platform of his car
