Mr. Bryan contended that this Government
had no right to subjugate and enslave the Fill
ipnos, who struggling for the liberty to
which they are entitled. The Republican Pres
ident had promised that our flag should be
hauled down in Cuba, only two hundred miles
from our shore, and to give the Cubans freedom,
and yet he refuses to haul down the flag seven
thousand miles away and liberate the Filipinos.
A carriage drawn by four horses was in wait
ing to convey Mr.. Bryan to st. Joseph's Hall, in
Pavonia-ave. A procession was formed by the
members Of the Robert Davis Association and
other Democratic clubs. About two thousand
men were in line. and, led by bugler riding on
donkey, the procession moved through New
ark-ave Many Of the buildings along the route
were decorated with bunting and flags. St
Joseph's Hall, which has a seating capacity of
nine hundred, was filled. Fully thousand peo-
pie were in the street. unable to gain admission.
and they were held hack by ropes and a squad
of police but they waited until the arrival of the
procession, and gave hearty greeting to Bryan.
Many fingered until he had completed his speech,
brief one. and hundreds of the men Joined in
the procession.
AS Mr.. Bryan stepped on the stage in the hall
the audience arose and waved the small flags
and cheered for three minutes. When he was
formally introduced he was again cheered He
said that the Republican party had ceased to be
one of convictions and was vacillating. It was
a party of greenbacks, but had changed it's SEN
tfments several times since, and still asked peo-
pie to follow 1t. 1t reminded him OF the story of
the man who stopped at cemetery and. after
reading an epitaph which ended with the line
Prepare to follow me- remarked, I'm not pre-
rsred to follow until 1 know where you
going. He said, in New-JerseY II
strikes horse. he Is punished and
sent to jail: In New-Jersey there. were laws
regulating trusts that were not enforced The
Republican party had made new command
ment-'Thou shalt not steal on small scale"
He talked about trusts and. referring to the
Ice Trust. said that its directors were Repub-
licans, and that it could not have been formed
If New-York State had not had Republican
Governor. The remedy for trusts, he said, was
to put on the free list such articles as are con-
trolled by trusts. He repeated his plan Of con-
filming the operations Of trusts TO the States that
granted them their license. and not permit them
by National legislation to do business in other
States until the water had been squeezed out OF
the stock. In closing, he said:
In my own heart want to bring the people to-
are to mingle together in heaven want to bring
them together on earth, so that they will not have
to be introduced when they get to heaven.
Mr.. Bryan was then escorted to the Taber-
nacle, in lower Jersey City. The men in line
numbered three thousand they marched down
the hill. and inspired enthusiasm by constantly
shouting and cheering. AS they passed through
the section where the tenement houses abound
there little enthusiasm, and decorations
were few. The Tabernacle. the first stop in the
old section Of the city, filled to the limit of
its seating capacity, and about one thousand
people were outside and gave Bryan a hearty
greeting 1t was almost IL o'clock when he
reached st. Peters Hall. which was crowded

almost midnight when he completed his tour
and entered st. Michaers Hall. where he was
the recipient of another reception. At each of
these halls he made short addresses but re-
